But then you have to ask what metrics are being used to define a 10x engineer. You’ll see that everyone has a different version of that and therefore whether a 10x engineer exists solely depends on the ontological…
Not a US citizen, but what’s noticeably lacking in discussions about surveillance (such as this one) is faulting the very government that’s pressuring companies to comply with state surveillance programs. Doesn’t matter…
I don’t think the author intended to talk about men as a class and all the politics that comes with it, and as a man I would hate for discussions about my gender’s politics to be based specifically on sexual…
Technically what you’re doing is ad hominem—invalidating the arguments of the post by attacking what the author does for a living. It’s not even necessary that someone who makes (possibly extra) money publishing…

I think that you fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of the Agile manifesto. It’s not meant to be an algorithm or a highly specific set of instructions—it’s really just a collection of values that are meant to be…

I suppose there’s merit in the complaints from an OSS contributor’s standpoint, but yes, it seems like the current target market is companies with closed-source SDKs. Which isn’t a bad thing if this is MVP1, and I do…
It’s odd that no one has pointed out yet that the article is conflating macOS user documentation with developer documentation. In the first place, and this is an unpopular opinion, people have simply accepted “Apple's…

I want it. There are people who don’t mind learning a new language if that’s the trade off for having to write services by hand, especially if the language isn’t so drastically different from what they already know.
I’m an engineering lead and I made a rule of using the handleClick() style instead of updateDate() in our codebase. The reasoning is that the latter sounds more like an atomic, standalone function, whereas handleClick()…
A vegan can take all the offense they want to take so long as they don’t take it out on someone in the office, because there are so many reasons why doing so is wrong (sowing division is one, as mentioned in previous…
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I really can’t wrap my head around the arguments for FP and against OOP. By the end of the day, regardless of which paradigm you choose, you’re still just defining concepts, and…
The only way to prevent large, billion+ dollar corporations from existing is via highly intrusive state regulation, so people who are appalled by the monopolistic and authoritarian behaviors of big tech should really be…
