    How?? This is insane. Dark Souls is the most absurdly plain and boring looking game that ever somehow defined a genre.

    "Work" and "jobs" are two very different things. We need action towards results . We do not need 16 hour workdays .

    Lost me here - "Tiago Forte (the original creator of the second brain concept)" Ugh, no. No, no, no. Tiago isn't doing anything original. Tiago has never done anything original. Th…

    Language is fuzzy. Every word you say is a theory that carries with it everything you know about a word. "Red" may bring to mind the color. It may bring to mind anger. It may bring…

    Totally. This also applies to really anything with the "-er" suffix, which lead us to treat objects as "data" and "things that act upon that data". This often shows up in code as "…

    You can achieve immutability with OOP. Other paradigms just emphasize it more. I agree, though, that mutability is detrimental, and that traditional OOP can easily lead us to belie…

    Good questions! One of the biggest issues with OOP I think is the lack of a unified understanding. I think there's value in trying to define a "right" way, if only so that when we …

    Object oriented programming. tl;dr - literally all of you are doing it wrong.

    In "The World Beyond Your Head" by Matthew B. Crawford, the author introduces the idea of an "attentional commons". The gist of this is that there are shared resources in the world…

    Well, that's the problem. CS classes teach you to "think like a computer", and computers "think" imperatively. OOP is inherently a declarative paradigm. CS classes don't prepare yo…

    This is pretty accurate. I'd also throw in "Don't use static functions" and "Write declarative code". Honestly, I think getting rid of public getters and setters goes a LONG way to…

    Every once in a while I see this article, and every once in a while I fear that junior programmers are going to read it as if it is at all accurate. This is a great article that re…

    The problem, as I see it, is that positive impact on a large enough scale that matters requires orchestration that we aren't equipped for as just software developers. The beauty, t…

    Companies that don't value these practices exist. They're everywhere. That's no excuse not to sharpen your skills, but hopefully it'll help you rest a little easier. That said, the…
