I feel like when Agile first came out the local agile guru was basically an older programmer w/ a ton of years and wisdom under their belt who knew first hand why doing things a particular way was best. It's since becamse a 2 week course for anyone to enter the tech field. Feel the same way about the influx of cybersecurity experts. Those used to be really good devs who also knew a lot about security, now, don't even get me started.

Construction is incredibly expensive. Why that is complicated. In a lot of the ways the problems though is our lack of newer affordable homes. Newer homes tend to cost more and have all the tech. Older homes are cheaper but paying someone else to upgrade them is crazy expensive.

well no duh that's why I go to the gym every morning. Looked at the average salary these peeps are making. Most ppl on here are making double plus some in my area as developers.

I obviously can see your logic but I still think it's your best bet. I also think it's important to point out there's an order of importance. If you have low or no income you're first priority needs to be getting a higher paying job and or up skilling to enable you to get a higher paying job. From there assuming you got a decent job most of us will have a 401k option. You get a tax deduction, tax free growth and most importantly most of us get matching employer contributions of some form. If you put in enough to get the full match over the course of you're career you're going to end up ahead. If you have an HSA sames goes there. If you have a low enough income to qualify for the deduction on an IRA same goes there. Oh yea did I mention 529 for your kids future? Combining investing w/ special accounts that can grow tax free and offer tax deductions are going to maximize you're chances of overall success but again I agree all this is kind of riding on you being in a decent paying field and if you're not already that should be your first priority.

How do snowboarders wreck the slopes anymore than skiers?

I love your book example. I was at my library leafing through books about a subject I know fairly well - none of them were worth my time. The situation is even more dire on popular subjects w/ a low barrier of entry e.g. exercise and nutrion - not that those actually have a low barrier to entry but everyone seems to think they're expert and the populace generally accepts nutrition advice w/ little to no real evidence.

This would explain so much of the conspiracy around them.

Does Dioxus run in a webview on mobile? That's how I'm reading the docs.

Looking at the pictures your way of doing things just seems so much error prone and error prone in a super time consuming kind of way. Like those cuts w/ a chisel have to take a while to do, they have to be precise, and if you screw up the last one the whole board and all the work you just put in it are for waste.

are you using flutter just for the vanilla use case of a mobile app?

So has Go still held true to this minimalist philosophy?

I 100% agree w/ this and play an enterprise architect type role at my employer but I would totally get lambasted if I proposed this. Honestly a lot of the ppl I work w/ aren't developers and never were. They just have big mouths and climbed the ranks. Sadly they're the ones who write my reviews and could get me canned so I have to play ball.

This college is in my state - it's a rightwing political think tank masquerading as a university.

how times have changed

Does create an interesting problem of if your vehicle is out of warranty and you buy the heated seats package shouldn't they responsible to fix the heated seats if they're not working.

I was a regular reader of their blog. It was great. They had a bunch of data on how we data and they weren't afraid to let the data speak. This resulted in some ppl getting upset b/c they had to hear something that didn't fit their worldview.

I don't think so - I'm an insider and honestly to me the biggest amount of fluff is the all project manager/program manager/product owner/process owner types roles. Realistically you could put them all under the broad title of business analyst. From what I've seen a given engineering team will grown in size under a given director and the corresponding director on the product/business side will want to grow their side of the house equally and so they do and we end up w/ roughly a 1 to 1 ratio of developers to business analysts of some sort which is about what is cited here.

Wow - so Indian companies hires all Indians even in American offices. CEO gets caught on a hot mike saying they don't want to hire stupid Americans which forces said CEO to change hiring policy but they blunder it and tell HR not to hire Indian candidates which back fires.

I feel like Powerlifting has become such a crap shoot. You have ppl doing ultra wide sumo on DL, crazy back arch on bench, squat suits, wrapped knees, ultra wide foot placement low bar squat blah blah. To me these lifts no longer even remotely resemble what I do in the gym. That being said I love John Haack - conventional DL, relatively narrow/normal grip on bench, doesn't the dude even high bar? Wish that shit was just the standard.

Feel like the brake pad and tire part are more just luck but agree that they're less maintenance overall. Downside is when they break there's no fixing them :)

Can't world leaders put pressure on china to clean up these wild life markets? Like better health practices and what not?

Back in the day on the web site the marketing team always insisted links open in a new windows b/c customers won't ever come back if you direct them away. Eventually browsers let users override that nonsense. The insistence by our marketing team on all these embedded browsers reminds me of the same mindset in 2020.

They 100% can get a job and a decent one. I know because I fall into this category BUT the FANG salary are 2 to 2.5 times what I make at this point which pushes me down the study leetcode part.

Used mithril.js and really love it albeit that was a few years back so not sure of it's current state.

10 year olds doing gymnastics doping might not be super common but you better believe it's in the. high school locker room for sports like football.

Yea cars have this notion of model years. Everyone knows nothing really changes between model years except the trim. It's the vehicle generation you care about. I think the focus should be on holding press conferences when you genuinely have something new to show off otherwise it's just fluff.

Feel like the conversation went something like this - - We need this thing done by <insert date> -- That's impossible - What if we hire more ppl? -- They'd just step over each other - Let's divide things up then -- ok

* six months pass by * - why isn't it done yet? -- we had to onboard and train all those new hires which sucked up a lot of dev time plus the new architecture added complexity and increased communication costs - How can we make our onboarding process faster?

* sigh and the cycles repeats it self

Yea they don't want us to think. I feel like they just see us as workers to implement their will. There have been so many times I've been asked to implement a solution rather than given an actual problem. Upon asking questions it becomes apparent what this persons thinks will solve the problem isn't a solution at all.

see my post in the other thread

we recently redid authentication in our app - was told to do it exactly like Chase did theirs which I thought was an odd requirement. Come to find out the corporate executives get Chase credit cards so they were all using the Chase app and familiar with it and essentially told the products owners to build it just like the Chase and then told me/us the developers to build it exactly like the Chase app. Shaking my head. How dumb.

Anyhow come to find out Chase does this weird thing were even if you press sign out in app it essentially keeps you logged in and if you're using biometrics you can effectively unlock the app and get right back in w/ Face/Touch ID. We didn't implement that but apparently this executive clicks sign out when their done using the app and still expected to get right back in so we had to rebuild that part. F my life.
