I'm not that worried about returning to the office. I think most office jobs will be some form of remote work forever. We worked in offices because it's the way we always did it. But we now know we don't have to. It…
Off topic: The pandemic has been wonderful for my gi tract. Constipation driven by office bathrooms problems where a regular concern. I would really try to time bowel movements so that they would happen at home. And…
I picture the peak when the moons of Jupiter are full with a thriving civilization. One trillion strong under one government. Building the ships that take humanity to other stars. How small we will look to them.
I can't see the US ever adopting a single payer health care system. However I do think they could adopt a health care justice system. The US cares a lot about justice, and free markets. Some kind of well funded, and…
The quote here is the main point. "But if you want to engage with 20+ exchanges, to go to market quickly, and implement continuous performance tuning, you'll choose Java." The amount of changes you need to make due to…
I just wanted to add an another perspective. I had a great private office with a door that closed, and a quiet work environment. My home office is also a nice dedicated room and well equipped. Even in the quietest…
Frameworks make hiring a bit easier it's true. I'm amazed at the number of developers who can't seem to cope with working with custom in house frameworks. I'm talking about fully working systems, with full source code…
I think I understand your point. It's more back to the mainframe model of software development. I did this back in the 90s and I never had to think about scaling. Granted these were just simple crud / back-office apps.…
As a GenX in the 90's my money went to: - Going to the movies - Going out for fast food - Renting movies - Renting video games
Any developer worth their wage tests. After writing any code I run the program to test the change I have made. I make sure the code is exercised either by logging, debugger, or clear UI change. If it's a browser app I…
I feel the change that has happened is that managers _had to_ figure out managing remote workers. Before when remote work was not 'working' you could fall back to in person. That is not currently an option. So…
47 here, coding professionally since I was 24. No management, and no plans for it. While ageism exists in some places, I don't find it to be an industry wide problem. At the end of the day programming is just coding the…
I would like to add, automation comes in stages. Some jobs are eliminated, then more, then more. I just don't see any of that happening in software. Yes the tools change, but the number of jobs isn't going down.
I've been maintaining a complex web client for 14 years. Every single time we have used a framework it has made development harder, and more fragile. In addition within a few years either the framework is abandoned, or…
To me I simply have never seen this before. I remember SARS, and H1N1. There was a big media blitz about both, but that was it. With this I am seeing cities / countries on lockdown. I have friends that can't go home in…
