Apparently most people never delved deeper then surface level on how to use these things and everything else went right over their head...

This is really the truth of all things in life.

The problem is that they actually work. I've been involved in having to implement these nightmares and it turns out that normal people do actually interact with them and it does result in increased revenue.

If I work with a human Junior and they make an error or I familiarize them with any quirk of our workflow, and I correct them, they will recall that correction moving forward

I really wish that were the case. Most of the Jr Engineers I work with have to be told the same thing multiple times, in different ways, for things to stick.

Do you have some examples for that?

Most cases I've seen with more complex interfaces is due to the fact that it is what the interface truly expects. Usually making it simpler tends to mean it's actually wrong or incomplete.

Are miscarriages then involuntary manslaughter?

Also agree that the example code base is not the best example to use.

The Chromium code base is a joy to read and I would routinely spend hours just reading it to understand deeper topics relating to the JS runtime.

Compared to my company's much smaller code base that would take hours just to understand the most simplest things because it was written so terribly.

Yes, the ability to have critical thinking skills is the key differentiator between the two types of developers mentioned.

I think that is what a lot of these discussions seem to be miss: the issue is not really the hard tech skills/knowledge. It is more about the softer critical thinking abilities or personalities that allow someone to become skilled at something or solve a problem easier/better.

What were you expecting them to do instead: use mmap instead?

How could it not be?

If someone was doing much better than you it would be hard to know or it was more formalized within the social hierarchy itself: nobles, kings, etc.

Now all you have to do is open social media and see dozens of people doing things you could never even dream of doing.

to be honest I have no idea why

Generally because the chargeback-rate of typical paid-for porn providers was exceptionally high. When I worked at one we had to use special merchant providers that would charge up to 10% or higher for each transaction because of it.

Been bouldering pretty heavily for the last three years but I have not found it to be a very good place for meeting people.

Completely agree with this. I used to skip most of my classes but would get As on all of my tests.

Now I struggle immensely on going through the every day grind of adult life.

I would argue pretty much every mainstream sport that will allow you to live off of requires starting at that age.

I don't know as much about other sports but for professional climbing you need to have started before 11 to make a living in the comp circuit.

Not sure if I would call it "new". Swimbaits have been around for as long as I've been fishing (several decades).

However there is definitely way more advanced ones then when I first started fishing.

Everyone knows it's Tacos El Gordo obviously /s

Looking at the code examples they shared it seems like they are the lone-wolf sort of developer that wants to "solve problems" in code that no one else can read.

I think you may be surprised what the current rates are though.

the developer relations folks have more purple hair and technical skills.

I've never heard the term "purple hair" before. Is that literally meaning like... more alternative?

Oh man and those are common cards!

There's the rare cards that can sell for more than 10K USD and have more of a 0.000001% chance.

So you missed the entire point of their reply.

Interesting because I think I have some rather random assortment of hobbies that generally tend to have no overlap and I get pretty good recommendations all the time.

Wow, I figured there was more to it than the article was saying. This is insane!

I'm unsure of what everyone's concern with common core is. It was way easier to teach my kid's once I realized that it's just what I've always been doing in my head without anyone telling me to.

It's just about breaking apart problems into digestible pieces.

This may work for older people but my experience is that for kids that would be next to useless.

Most of the time spent is just trying to keep the kids on task not actually spent trying to teach.

Woah, back when I was forced to implement them they only charged 4%.

CCBill is the primary one and they charge nearly 4% per transaction and routinely hold transactions for up to 6 months sometimes. They also have high registration fees but they are one of the best for high risk industries.

I would second this. I took up bouldering and it's amazing how much more energy I have. My lower-back pain from sitting has nearly disappeared.

It's a true full-body workout (including the brain).

Seriously, these two things do not go in hand in my mind.

Nowhere in the article does it actually say how much money they have made.

Wait, what is Sonos doing that am I missing?
