The affiliate thing might be interesting. Insurance is a no-go though. There would be incentive to strike to get more payout on the policy. Or worse, an insurance company would take it and would audit every strike for…
This is how I do it as well. I usually find inspiration that makes my code much better. My secret sauce is telling others I am debugging it instead of making a new draft. This keeps someone from insisting that my first…
Go's compile speed is its raison d'être. It straddles the line between convenient scripting languages and heavy compiled languages. You deal with boilerplate using either interfaces or code generation. It's not as…
Same here. We are stuck in Watcom F77 right now due to using some old extensions. We are in the middle of eliminating control characters from format statements so we can finally upgrade to new compiler.
I actually have had the pleasure of porting a program from a defunct 16-bit language called Actor to C++. It wasn't a huge deal even at around 800 kLOC. All mainstream languages in the future are going to have some…
Commercial success has little to do with your tech stack choices. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with jumping ship for the latest shitty framework just as the old one is getting really good and stable.
No, it is very much LSP compliant. The purpose of toString() is to give a string representation of the object. Most overloads of this do exactly that. An LSP violation of toString() would be something that returns a…
In my experience, much more damage has been done by people who implement EDA and fancy cloud architecture in general. Something like 95% of applications are simple CRUD with a minuscule amount of custom domain logic.…
LSP just says that derived classes should behave similar to their base classes. class Base { virtual int size() { return size_; } ... class Derived : public Base { virtual int size() { return rand(); } ... Here we see…
Prosperity Gospel is very different from traditional Christianity. It is much closer to New Age Spirituality than most Christian denominations.
This would be more NSA jurisdiction and they do. The problem is most people's assumption is that if one part of the government has it, then everyone gets it. This is wildly false. Even within the FBI itself, different…

It comes from two religious movements in the U.S. that became popular starting in the 50's and has been gaining momentum ever since: Prosperity Gospel and New Age Spirituality. They both focus on you projecting "good…
Always on accident of course. There is no way a hardware manufacturer would intentionally sabotage their products to boost sales.
Sony literally bricked my PS1&2 compatible PS3 with an update and offered me something like a $20 gift certificate for Sony products for my troubles. I haven't bought anything Sony since. The real issue is that courts…
I dislike pseudocode. I make candidates use an actual language because it smoke checks the ones who put X years of Y language. I don't demand perfection, just that the general shape be there.
I have personally hired false positives. Like you say, they are expensive. I have never once hired someone who was literally incapable of doing the job. It's never because of work directly. A person who was incredibly…
I would not be shocked. I meant it when I said to weed out the charlatans. I certainly do some basic FizzBuzz. I do it over the phone and in-person because sometimes they get a friend to do the phone interview. There is…
I can't find the article because its hidden behind Google's previously admitted coin flip, brain teasers. An interview only has one question to answer: How long will it take this person to do what I need? Everything…
People get rejected for reasons like that everyday. I have been part of several interviews where a co-interviewer would say something at least as stupid as that. This is the real problem with giving feedback in our…
No industry's interviewing is as awful as ours. The mythical 10x programmer has ruined our interviews. All these companies have it in their heads that you either need a rubicks cube champion or someone with 15 years of…
You probably wouldn't like the feedback. Most interviews these days are random because our field is obsessed with finding 10x megarockstar GTD superprogrammers. I can't think of a single field where interviews are such…
