Is this an eons-long form of "it was better in the old days"? Just look at primates and other wild animals today to see brutal violence.

> I programmed server-side web forms in ASP.NET and JSP for years before switching to SPAs and React. I don't think that comparison makes sense? ASP.NET and JSP are server side lan…

Backend devs do this as well. You could just as easily start a thread called "Why use MicroServices/Serverless/Kubernetes/NoSQL etc.". Just like SPAs, those things all have a time …

Scrum.

Sorry I'm going to be contrarian here but if "people can't afford kids", then why is it well established that poorer people have more kids while richer have fewer? ( https://en.wik…

Financial independence comes down to simply earning as much money as you can while spending as little as possible. As to how to earn the most money you can, I think that depends a …

I am a developer with a CS degree and think you hit the nail on the head with that observation. There are also plenty of other things developers have to know about now that you did…

No, bullying is just a US (and UK) thing. Everything in the US and UK is bad. Everything in Europe is good. We don't have bullying, or smart phone addiction, or family breakdown, o…

Call me a pussy but your new job sounds a hell of a lot worse than most software Dev jobs to me. Each his own I suppose.

But when do you find time to meditate?

Just wondering, what don't you like about rails?

The pearl-clutching is strong in this post.

I think you are taking my post far too "literally" (can't think of a better term sorry). I can't blame you though, the internet does not really convey the implicit nuance that I in…

Weird this is getting downvoted. Its true for my own experience - my life is much better since I've stopped with all the sleep gadgets and panicking when I get less than 8 hours sl…
