Fraud aside, I think a more common thought among developers is

Did my old job only exist because the Product Owners didn't realize we didn't have product-market fit?

I tried your website, but it just says "LOADING".

primitive

Based on the use of "≥" and em-dashes, I'd say this markdown file was written with or by an LLM.

Yes

It is more useful to read posts and threads like this exact thread IMO. We can't know everything, and the currently addressed market for Claude Code is far from people who would even think about caching to begin with.

At one startup I was in, Azure sales proactively reached out to the CEO on LinkedIn and then we were urged to swap off to it.

Could we not have used braille patterns? Start on a random one and you can just replace the character with the next one so it is possible for the user to see something was entered, but password length isn't given to someone looking over the user's shoulder?

No they do not teach Scientific Realism in schools. We're taught the scientific method and then build upon that.

I can see how someone could misunderstand or forget what they're taught though.

Respectfully we have had Certbot for 11 years now.

Sorry, there is zero chance I will ever deploy new code by changing a symlink to point to the new directory.

How do you add a new page?

This. It is resume-driven development. Especially at startups where the engineers aren't compensated well enough or don't believe the produce can succeed.

As someone who doesn't use React, there is React Native (for iOS & Android), and React (and that can be server-rendered or client-rendered).

In my career I've seen startups "shut down" and lay off the NA team.

I've seen venture capital acquire startups for essentially nothing laying off the entire product team aside from one DevOps engineer to keep everything running. I've seen startups go public and have their shares plummet to zero before the rank-and-file employees could sell any shares (but of course the executives were able to cash out immediately). I've seen startups acquired for essentially nothing from the lead investor.

In none of these scenarios did any of the Engineers receive anything for their shares.

Yet every day people negotiate comp where shares are valued as anything more than funny money.

The only reason I paid my yearly JetBrains subscription this year was to keep my lower price locked-in. I've been using VS Code all year. I won't renew my JetBrains subscription that I've had since 2009. Sad.

I thought you would just use another computer in your house for the flows?

My development flow takes a lot of RAM (and yes I can run it minimally editing in the terminal with language servers turned off), so I wouldn't consider running the local LLM on the same computer.

Another old person thinking they figured out life

I didn't get this impression at all.

It isn't "sovereign" if the parent organization is controlled by a foreign company.

I know less than ten people with foldable phones, but without fail they all claim that the screen is durable, but I have yet to see any foldable phone without a cracked screen after a few years.

The standard answer is scale. “Small programs don’t need types,” the reasoning goes, “but large programs become unmaintainable without them.”

This is not accepted wisdom at all.

All the dev servers I've used over the past 10 years come with warnings that they're not security hardened, so I'd be wary of using `tailscale funnel` even though it is awesome to share like that so easily.

This is no knee jerk reaction my friend, the author is capitalizing "he" when referring to the Christian god.

This is the type of religious propaganda that would appear in a worksheet for children in a Catholic school. It doesn't belong here. There are no arguments here, just the presupposition of some deity.

Anecdotal, but every Engineering Manager I've had for the past 10 years has had a calendar I could see. One EM had anonymous event names on their calendar, but I think it might have been the default setting in AD.

A lot of people spend hours consuming auto-playing short-form video content. I would guess the majority of young people, in the West.

I would rather see the type annotations too. This whole essay has a flimsy premise.

Apple's interpretation of that sentence is the same as mine.

Agreed. DI Containers / Injectors are so fundamental to writing software that will be testable, and makes it much easier to review code.

And they moved it closer to the keyboard, which is where the primary buttons should be on mobile anyways. Total incompetence.
