I am now going to go down the rabbit hole of arm specific bugs in the libraries I use because so far all of the applications I dev (arm ubuntu) have never encountered any bugs.

Yay free money!

The best part about your comment is that the video in question is fiction!

By ignoring it and buying new houses and cars

wanton violence

punching someone outside of a boxing ring

I could probably find 100,000 unique instances of violence solely from big Hollywood studios on Youtube as we speak

Because of lobbying and greed, sadly.

I do agree, but it depends on the criticality of performance and the level of change the system goes through by default.

For us we are always implementing complex new logic for not very many users, so there's not much benefit to some clever data structure that we are all too dumb to understand. If I get a ticket that involves inserting something into the logic you wrote, and I can't understand how to operate your current solution, I will be hacking up an n logn solution as long as it is adequately performant

I do agree but too often they turn into "well I would do it this way".

If it is some very big and very critical system then yes, code reviews can be beneficial compared to the alternative. But for systems that are innovative and rapidly going through iterations as it is, it's better to judge coverage of test cases (and adequate performance but not optimal)

Code should be judged by inputs and outputs only! I hate code reviews. We end up rewriting well-structured code anyway simply because it is always easier to rewrite than to do surgery

Spring and JSP. Just kidding. I sadly do not have enough exposure to the platforms you have listed, but wish you luck in clarifying the answer.

If you are not comfortable spending x amount of money on one of your interests (which is totally a valid feeling to have), then it is time to prioritize and innovate! Necessity is the mother of all invention.

Me too, the Velveeta comments were the best

Conversely I have a work laptop where all browser extensions are blocked, including uBlock, because you guessed it, malware!

When did I ever say any of these things?

I specifically said that it is possible for someone to create a game like Dwarf Fortress without being the recepient of a PhD in Math.

I never said that I knew better than the author, or that you needed to believe in yourself, or anything like that.

I believe you are assuming that I'm reacting to something, but all I am saying is that you do not need a PhD to do what has been done.

Appreciate this response :) Those who are actually out there building things are a bit too busy to pontificate here anymore

But why is it bad to react to a headline? It offered something interesting to consider.

You don't need a math phd to code it either, you just need skill and motivation.

That might be correlated with having a phd, but it isn't mandatory.

EDIT: I physically cannot comprehend how what I have said is somehow worthy of a negative reaction.

It's possible the monkeys might even write an AI that produces physical monkeys who then in turn produce AI!

No change, and less electricity wasted!

var cleverCode = bot.generateCodeFor(someCucumberTest, Mode.CLEVER)

This will take approximately eternity for difficult problems, such as management changing their mind every day.

With enough monkeys and typewriters, we don't need AI to go where we need to go.

I think this is an argument for less developers on a project, or at least more services owned by less developers.

Agreed, but it never should have been this complex in the first place :)

Why are you assuming that my wife tells me what to do?

Not sure I follow the logic, he got fired for trying. Simple solution is don't try, no?

Ultimately you will lose in either situation, but one solution prolongs the paychecks.

Thats a very expensive opportunity, id rather just argue with people online

I think what I've proposed is a short term micro-optimization where you can eek out a few more checks while you search for a place that supports your creative thinking

See the game theory on this says it wasn't worth it. Should have just laid low and continued to collect the pay checks while plotting your next move.

I've been both in-house and consultant to a variety of big corps in a variety of industries, and I can say that invariably every single one is messed up and inefficient.

Yet still somehow customers buy the products and (more often than not) the company delivers a product that is half working enough to be tolerated and used.

The only person this reflects on is you. My life has done nothing but improve since getting married.
