As a general content I agree it's a bit off putting, but I find it a lot of fun when generating content among friends like internal jokes and educational content. I got my kid to d…

They're not getting their nickelback.

It seems it comes back every year or two, coincidentally on market downturns.

Yes but it seems the order is taught is important. Without actual industry experience, it never occurred to me it could be useful. After some years working, it's clear it's useful …

It's a thing because inheritance got out of hand. Inheritance x composition is orthogonal to OO.

I didn't go through, but have seen quite a few. It's indeed a less advertised position since it might be more common in smaller companies (less money/reach) and it might be a found…

Yeah, poliglots are difficult to find as well, maybe not as in actual difficulty to be but more of a preference for a subset of techs.

It's a fairly rare set of skills. People in these positive usually are bad in most of them and it becomes harder to ramp up the team later (mentoring, quality).

Generalist can be a specialization in itself. Imagine someone that can do a bit of front-end, backend, infra, design, would be a specialist in bootstrapping a startup. Don't get to…

Art imitates life until life imitates art.

Jon Ronson has a good audiobook covering this[0] with a follow-up on a pornstar's death[1]. It covers a little bit of the MindGeek story but primarily how pornhub rebuilt the indus…

The annoyance over non-functional code is real. I can't tolerate OOP stuff that `obj1.calls(obj2)` and changes `obj2` anymore. I didn't care before, now it makes me want to refacto…

I personally like a lot the help in the shell feature that is one of the awesome things in elixir's shell that is now on erlang.

That's where "works on my machine" comes from. The further you steer dev environments from production, the more you'll have these kinds of issues. Would you mind expanding on their…

I particularly like his silver rule principle as it indeed seems like a better version of the golden rule.

We had a friendly deal in our office for those kind of disturbances. If you leave your phone ringing at your desk, you pay a round of drinks for the team.

I used to do something similar until I got a standing desk. Now I just switch between standing and sitting and having a blast.

Second that. Pain is constructive in the right dose, and it's also risky since you can lose trust if delivered incorrectly. It requires maturity to give honest feedback and recogni…

I have experienced this. The most brilliant programmer I've ever worked with wrote hardly comprehensible code since they could understand other's code easily, so they didn't feel t…

(I'll take a stab at this, but my knowledge is rather limited on this one so take it with a grain of salt). Markets are a mix of locality. Some markets have more global reach than …

It's mostly used in the kanji version (積読 or 積ん読) (7m+ results).

I've worked on an open plan startup and was a slack admin. 90+% of the messages were private, and we had pretty good activity on public channels.

In Brazil, it's "sequestro relâmpago", roughly translated to "lightning kidnapping"

It's also the problem that software is not strictly a product, but a mix of service and product. There's the core product that you are selling (say e-commerce) and there's the cust…
