Whenever Elon, Anthropic or whoever mentions humanity, they don’t mean every 8 billion of us on Earth. They mean themselves, their mates and whoever they deem worthy of the posterity they believe only they have the merit to design.

There's a period between the "beginning" of the modern age and today where we had these strange interstitial technologies. It sometimes feels like we went from living in the dark to electricity to the digital age in big jumps, but there's been a lot of evolution in between. Today will seem quite quirky to people 10, 20 and 50 years from now.

Read Jarry’s How To Construct a Time Machine, and then just move on with your life.

Waterfall projects with sprints. Releasing every 2 weeks is still way better than releasing less frequently. Yes its not ‘true agility’, but as long as you find your weakness and learn from them every 2 weeks you’re going to be in a stronger position than if you have to wait 6 months to realise you stuffed up 5 months ago

I found Scrum’s iterative approach very beneficial. In every other project without it or some other bastardisation of “scrum” there was always a major fuck around with wrong priorities, and constant reacting to every manager. Theres no point taking on Scrum if you only think it means story points and standups. In any case, I ask what frameworks (that i can read about) have worked for all of you?

If a company/recruiter hasn’t indicated salary, then I just tell them what my remuneration expectations are.

If it’s out of their range neither of us waste our time interviewing each other.

Or possibly, the company has no idea what they should be paying. In telling them what I expect they too may adjust their expectations.

Git in one image 4 years ago

As others have mentioned, make sure you understand the difference between git an github.

The way I built an understanding of git was to create a local git repo, and start working with some plain text files. I tried the various commands - add, commit, branch, merge, and observed what happened to each file. Take this a step further and start working with a remote - you can use github.

This is how I built a mental model of what git and its commands do.

The whole point of DDD is to reduce complexity by modeling the domain in such a way that you can change it. There are many times when DDD is a wrong choice for your given problem. Perhaps the code you've seen wasn't a good candidate for DDD.

But yes, I'm wary of too many base classes and libraries designed to help you manage your model. Don't use someone else's ValueObject type, instead, work out what makes sense for your model.

I'll second this, as it has been my experience also. Having a young family I thought a 5 minute commute would be ideal, but found the half hour made me a more tolerable person.
