  1. As a senior dev, I spend enormous amounts of time mentoring and reviewing. Not only does that leveling up of the team not get a nice little metric, but many of those other dev's commits are my solutions just misattributed. When I do actually get to write code, it's going to be the gnarliest parallel/concurrent tasks we have. Guess what? That takes a lot longer to write than scaffolding up a new rest endpoint Mr 10x. Go ahead and fire me, prove you're the bad manager we all know you are.

  3.  @anisamokrane2008  Its both. Its good because this 10x chad just solved the problem all his inept coworkers were slap fighting over and saved the teams reputation at the very least. Its bad because you don't have a superhero, you have a linchpin. When 10x chad is tired of carrying everyone, you are seriously screwed. Company culture will decide if this is a winning strategy or not.

  4. I love how monolithic 'tight coupling' is all the rage again. .asp and .jsp finally have competitors 20+ years later!

  5. So you're paying amazon to run code for a service they offer for free? Brilliant!

  6. I remember hearing we'd be using Java in college around y2k. I was like "those shitty grey boxes that never load? awesome"

  7. Sadly, Java is one of the only languages that DON'T have that feature. Java is horrible about adding 'apis' and 'conventions' instead of improving the language.

  8.  @vectoralphaSec  Yes and they have for years.

  9.  @nicholasmaniccia1005  You're conflating coupling with configuration vs convention.

  10. Most of its useless, but you get paid more for knowing how to use it so...

  11. They have a monopoly over their walled garden, which is fine. If they make shady deals within that garden, it could end similarly.

  12.  @_ash64  you seriously need to do some research

  13. Soon hand-crafted music will be as rare and expensive as the hand-crafted instruments themselves are.

  14.  @kp8752  Sounds great in theory, no? I've lived through this hype in EJB 2.0. It turns out this is one of those 'leaky abstractions' where the cure is worse than the disease.

  15.  @atscub  If 'leadership' doesn't understand basic things like taylorism, goodharts law, etc. or requires you to engage in politics for them to even understand your value, that's bad leadership. They will make bad decisions accordingly. If you can't tell when someone is putting in <10% of the average, metrics aren't your problem.

  16.  @dough-pizza  Yup, while both simultaneously claiming it's for better performance and UX! The reality is its new and shiny to them and therefore exciting. Pragmatically, it's probably good for your career to have 'modern' tech on your resume too. They'll back into the scientific/engineering justification from there. I'm personally fine with it, most companies make a mess out of any long-lived code base anyway. Plus they pay me more each time the trend comes around again, i just have to learn the new apis for the old ideas.

  17. Monopoly != Anticompetitive, though there's clearly a correlation and motivation.

  21. The big difference is that in kafka the clients have to be pretty smart about taking the right stuff. In rabbit, it will take care of delivery, etc. That's why kafka scales so much better... you're doing all the work distributed across the clients vs the server doing the lifting.

  22. As compared to all the energy consumed by the people and infrastructure required for traditional fiat currency? With all its bureaucracy, audits and paper trails?

  23.  @Redistributable  I have done exactly this, mr warrior. I won't work for that level of incompetence in the first place. Anyone considering crap like this is 100% mismanaging far more, this would be yet another symptom

  24. Supply and demand. Angular takes a more accomplished dev to be successful but is also better for large teams/projects.

  25. Most tech interview problems aren't far off from this 'mechanical' pointer BS kind of problem. Its fun, but about as useful as a word find book is to an author.

  26. Don't think this 'grind' is a one-and-done. It never ends, its why for many its closer to lifestyle than vocation.

  27. Windows + v if you want a multi-value clipboard. Copy 5x before you navigate and paste!

  28. Glad you brought up the expressions vs declaration. mutation is evil, even more so in a multi-threaded language. It's the same reason you should generally avoid ALL declaration like if, for, while, switch, etc. and prefer reduce, map, etc

  29. Java is nominally typed, TS is structurally sub typed. That's a pretty huge difference.

  30. Yes, but it isn't retroactive. Its effectively the same thing that happened here.

  31. CloudFlare has entered the chat

  35.  @honaleri  lol, aint nobody reading that wall o' screed.

  36. Nobody wants to hear it, but AI has been the limiting factor in robotics since forever. All the jobs are up for grabs.

  37.  @remirousselet6867  These are often just zoom calls, going over the code in my IDE, PoCs of code suggestions, etc. It's a fundamentally idiotic idea.

  38. DHH was enough to convince me sticking w/TS is absolutely the right answer.

  39. But the CEO is a mathlete genius!

  40. Based on your uneducated opinion?

  41. Its a tough one. The permissive OSS license is needed to get traction, but then you have no leverage. But if you start w/something like SSPL your project likely won't get much traction to begin with.

  42. Looks like VS Code is finally catching up to IDEA, I just don't want a part time job managing plugins. I don't miss that in eclipse at all :(

  43. Java has proven that the ecosystem and timing matter far more than the language. The nintendo switch is a pathetic toy, but also the most successful console. People are dumb.

  45. A company that lies about being open and steals other people's IP, is crying their IP was stolen and opened?

  46.  @nicholasmaniccia1005  It has nothing to do with files, layout, etc. The front end and back end can no longer be independently developed; they are coupled together in the same monolithic framework. Welcome to the late 90s ala VB/asp/jsp/php/etc The entire POINT of using rest/json between the UI and API was so they could evolve independently (decoupled). One consequence of that is verbosity and duplication as you now have an explicitly API to maintain and bind to.

  47. As a bonus, if you understand this JWTs should be a breeze for you.

  48. If you think of it in terms of $$ per GFLOP serverless is a rip off. The reason serverless economics work is you almost certainly don't have 80%+ utilization and are unlikely to tune your actual usage to within +/- amazon's serverless profit margin. Completely doable, but the ROI isn't there until a certain scale. By the time you have that level of expertise, you're the next vercel. Remember, your code is likely running on the same actual hardware in Virginia, it's just how its allocated and billed that differs. That's a slam dunk win if you stay in the free tier as a hobbyist or 'start up' but.... that's the whole grift! They get you skilled up 'for free' and then you tell your Enterprise friend that can afford coke all about your 'weed dealer' Jeff...

  50. I do web frameworks like phones; check out the actual state of the industry every 4-5 years and ignore it otherwise. I'm just here to skim the trends so its not full culture shock.

  52. Of course it compiles fast, it barely has any features to translate!

  54. even this video takes more ram and starts slower because its about java

  60. Gonna give this a hard pass. Vim has no place in a modern (> y2k) era. If you're SSHing into a box to edit files via vim you're a cowboy coder surrounded by amateurs. Fight me.

  62. Its the current UI skinny jeans. In 5 years nobody will be able to explain what we thought was so great (jquery, angular.js, bootstrap, etc)

  65. Intellij on wsl is a complete trainwreck; VSCode just works. Really hoping jetbrains gets their mojo back, idea has been really stagnant for years now.

  66. Depends on the industry. If you want decent money look at Java or C# as they are big in finance

  68.  @lazyalpaca7  IE was actually pretty innovative for its time, just not willing to standardize their innovations. For example, ajax/fetch was IE.

  69.  @morgan24TH  Ram is meant to be used. As long as its freeing it up as needed, that's a good thing. If you have to open the task manager to know, you're inventing problems.

  73. If you really need cross platform client code, go web. Lowest Common Denominator UX is always shit. Also interesting that client side Java is dead and server side everyone targets linux containers.

  74. EDT vs EST. A 'date' w/o that info is like a price w/o a currency. You can take a best guess based on 'common sense' but you can't know for sure

  75. If only the other OS's had first class support for windows.

  76. You know those java/j2ee monoliths that are too big to die but impossible to upgrade? The ones that NODBODY wants to work on, even the pricks that wrote them? That's because of tight coupling like this. Sure, it'll save you a couple hours of boilerplate at first but will require a complete rewrite to whatever is cool in 10 years vs incrementally migrating. If you've got a small/jr team and the app can be thrown out in < 5 years? Sure, but certainly not an app that needs to live many years and tolerate 'generations' of employees, etc

  77. It's not a tech problem; 30+ years in and I have yet to see someone who knows what a file hash even is, never mind verify it. We should be happy TLS is a finally common.

  78. Its funny because its true. Once you cobble enough shit together to get the angular feature set its no longer simple. In fact, its even worse than angular.

  79. Java has had all that since java 8. Its obviously clunkier than literally any other language, but its there

  80.  @steamer2k319  I assumed he thought it was going to be like using anonymous inner classes ala Guava in java <= java 7. Even java devs had to cry foul on that BS.

  81. The worst part of kotlin is its too close to java (the ecosystem). Those dinosaurs think they understand modern design and try to drag all their shitty legacy ideas into new codebases. And the hasn't-coded-in-10-years boss defers to the legacy ideas he understands.

  82. Hopefully firefox gets better. I still use it on mobile and... it mostly works, enough.

  83.  @ZephrymWOW  Bullshit. 60s w/this guy is equal to hours of experimentation.

  84.  @alexandrebove2333  Right? Thats true of all code though. The question is how much does the framework help in getting there? W/o major experience you are almost certainly going to make a mess in react. NG at least keeps you on rails w/o having to cobble together your own 'stack'.

  85.  @msal  A quick search on indeed for "remote" location shows ~3.5k 'angular' jobs and 9k 'reactjs' jobs. I'm sure it varies by locale

  86.  @ChemistTea  Hes just blindly shouting his biases. Stick to whats in the box, its 99% the same and the 1% isn't likely worth the effort.
