Youtube comments of (@adambickford8720).

  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.
    2800
  2. I don't like coding in OO or Java, but i like the house it bought me :shrug:
    1700
  3. Shitting on vim after that montage feels like this was a targeted attack on prime. He didn't teabag you, it was a potato sacking.
    1200
  4. My entire career is just building wrappers over cpu, memory and network.
    1200
  5. People don't seem to understand that O(1) is not FASTER than O(n), it just SCALES better; there's a breakpoint. Imagine a "hashcode as a service" rest call vs doing it in memory: it'd still scale better, but it'd take an awfully large 'n' to get there. I see people missing this in PRs, streaming/looping an array is often faster with small arrays than something like a `HashSet`. And in practice, its really unlikely either makes a tangible difference in most use cases.
    818
  6. My 5 o'clock shadow lasts longer than some JS frameworks
    617
  7. My entire OOP experience. Hours of philosophy to create code that doesn't make sense w/o that philosophy and blows up on a simple structural change due to all the coupling.
    495
  8. Most companies don't want 'agile', they want high throughput waterfall; they already have the scope, date and resources decided. They just think agile will somehow magically increase productivity (and blame the devs when it doesn't).
    454
  9. I remember when my pentium couldn't divide properly. It's always sucked.
    396
  10. Prime can't accept that his 'collaboration' argument is entirely an extrovert take. Having people interrupt my flow with their 'advice' is a NEGATIVE. WFH is great because merit takes center stage over politics and schmoozing.
    376
  11. You can almost feel it moving a mechanical something inside your machine with every character. I bet i could hear it with a stethoscope on an HDD.
    259
  12. Most people don't actually understand OOP either, but they put it prominently on the resume and opine about it incessantly.
    247
  13. So you write a micro service to hold the lightbulb and I'll use step functions to rotate the house. It'll scale horizontally, only limited by your budget.
    180
  14.  @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.
    168
  15. Absolutely ethical, that's exactly why contracts exist. So this guy is just banned from that entire industry for life? The whims of this jackass? For a commodity offering? Pffft. Given how heavily they were tasking an INTERN they just look really silly crying 'ethics'.
    165
  16. When I review my own PR I'm taking off my 'pride of authorship' goggles and putting on my 'well ackshually' code review hat everyone else gets. And people think it's a joke when editors let you change the entire theme based on the db connection. Its only funny until its tragic.
    163
  17. Sharpen your skills for the impending over-correction... and know your worth. There will be a vacuum that needs to be filled and nobody to fill it because of the misdirection.
    150
  18. But debugging is 10x more than just inspecting variables. Things like dropping frames, changing values on the stack, etc, saves me a ton of time.
    126
  19. "opportunity first and the pay will follow". I have 20 years of software dev experience that says this is complete bullshit. If the pay isn't there, its not an opportunity. They will gladly pay you in 'atta boys' and kudos if you let them. And when you finally call their bullshit, there will be another sucker working for promises. Free Beer Tomorrow!
    115
  20. Gotta love overly specific reqs written by a helpless HR department or clueless recruiter. "Have you ever painted a house red?" "I've painted dozens of houses, but not red specifically" "Sorry, we're looking for people with at least 5 years experience painting houses red."
    101
  21. I will not forget the blue-collar scrubs that were ecstatic that AI was going to replace me a year ago (while being completely oblivious that AI is the limiting factor in robotics).
    100
  22. I love how monolithic 'tight coupling' is all the rage again. .asp and .jsp finally have competitors 20+ years later!
    96
  23. Sorry prime, you're out of touch. Go to a typical corporate gig and what he's saying is obvious. It's by design; almost nobody actually has any amount of autonomy so big brains aren't that useful and engagement plummets. Your ability to schmooze and politic will dictate your success far more than any big-brain tech acumen will. That really sucks for the 'software craftsman' because over selling a jacked up 'solution' at 'the right time' is what wins the day. Places like netflix sucking the cream out of the dev twinkie doesn't help.
    96
  24. So you're paying amazon to run code for a service they offer for free? Brilliant!
    84
  25. Compare a java dev w/1-2 years of experience to one with 10+. Pretty drastic difference, no? (sql injection? idor? session fixation? txn boundaries?) Same thing applies to 'devops'; k8s isn't just some 'configs', there's a whole ecosystem of best practices, frameworks rising/falling, architecture and so on. That equally applies to tracing/logging, etc The reality is you end up with devs doing stuff in application code that should really be infra, but that's not the teams expertise. They are just copy/pasting the top SO results and effectively `chmod 777`ing your cloud account to get the server to work. Generally, theres no checks/balances (that's a silo, yo!) until you're "hacked".
    80
  26. Agile is just waterfall where they blame the devs instead of management when it goes off track.
    77
  27. I have yet to meet a senior dev that's impressed by this stuff. Meanwhile, juniors are convinced it's inevitable. I know where my money is placed.
    74
  28. I remember hearing we'd be using Java in college around y2k. I was like "those shitty grey boxes that never load? awesome"
    73
  29. When I reimplement something that's now understood, I usually achieve a similar improvement in metrics despite being the same exact dude. It wasn't your 'Einstein level' of management that pulled that off, either. You exploited and scapegoated the actual talent and advanced your own career; that's corporate america in a nutshell.
    71
  30.  @kayleethegreat111  They are absolutely middlemen between the viewers and content creators. Every single one of them could 'self-host' but they don't, for exactly all of the middleman reasons stated. It literally has a marketplace.
    70
  31. It scales exactly as designed, for aws
    70
  32. Readibility is largely down to familiarity. I find it far more readable because i know what 'filter', 'map` etc are going to do even if not specifically *how*. Just seeing the coarse-grained operators I can get a pretty good feel of what's going on where the loop could be mutating anything anywhere. Not only is composition easier, it makes it harder to 'just add a boolean flag' to the loop that invariably goes out of control with complexity. And it is a builder! You're building a pipeline of operators that you eventually call with a 'terminal operator' like `foreach` or `collect`.
    67
  33. Scrum masters are the marriage counselors of dev teams. I have yet to see a good one that needs it.
    61
  34. I use to be a left leaning moderate until they went full fascist.
    59
  35.  @BitTheByte  Proportionately, yes! They were far better off than McDonalds employees at that time too. The part you're missing is there was far less opportunity to do better than that back then so it was better for the 'peasants'. We now have a ton of professional gigs that pay what only doctors, lawyers and architects made. The downside is, if you aren't willing to earn those gigs it's a step down from the old days. Keep in mind a house was < 1k sq feet and the only luxuries you had were tv and radio.
    57
  36. I've found it slows me down and traditional static analysis tools are still better. They are faster and don't hallucinate.
    55
  37. Every generation has its challenges, yours isn't special.
    50
  38. I work at a fortune 100 company and its exactly like this, w/the turnover that goes with it. The 'big company' is just an aggregate up of small departments/divisions that have their own budgets that usually doesn't go far enough. AND you have to comply w/the non-coding architects' mandates.
    49
  39. So they just want the benefits of an elite job. You don't say?
    44
  40. Way too much emphasis on parallelization. It's like dunking on the OO 'reuse' argument that just doesn't work beyond the most basic stuff. That doesn't mean OO is useless, just that aspect as oversold.
    41
  41. The problem I've seen is over time you end up with a team where nobody was involved in 'building' it, but they are saddled with running it. With a low-quality system the "devs" essentially turn into ops, so they quit. Then the next generation of "devs" get bait-and-switched, and so on.
    31
  42. Bad companies always find a reason. Remote is an excuse.
    29
  43. Slayer over megadeth? Def Leppard over Pantera?? Yeah, this is credible.
    28
  44. 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.
    28
  45. TBF, i've been running that same grift in java for 20 years now.
    28
  46. Love how Steven Adler is just getting high and dowsing candles since there are no drums.
    26
  47.  @paulschell2712  i think his point is we're nowhere near that dire, no matter the hyperbole
    26
  48. Even if its wholesome and great, its one leadership change away from extortion. Hard pass.
    26
  49. Been there. We had a team of 3 doing a PoC that was entirely non-blocking in java; `WebFlux` and 100% functional/reactive programming. We were crushing it by any metric. Then a couple people left, and the new custodians despised everything about it and did their best to fight it every step of the way. Productivity tanked and bugs thrived even with the same tech/code base.
    25
  50. When you're 20 ergonomics is 'bullshit'. When coming up on 50 it's the first thing you consider after where the bathroom is.
    22
  51. Villainizing me, then demanding my money and begging for my vote, is a losing strategy.
    21
  52.  @Saliferous  I fully understand inflation, friend. You don't understand economics. Entry level has never been easier, and therefore, less valuable. At one point delivering a pizza required knowing the town, a cashier had to make change, etc. Now a 15 year old w/no experience does it just as well. You are straight up less valuable than years ago.
    20
  53.  @ArneChristianRosenfeldt  I think his point was we didn't decide to build a binary counter, it's just kind of the unexpected result of this aggregation of flip-flops. It obviously wasn't a coincidence for the designer and much iteration arrived at this elegant solution.
    19
  54.  @vectoralphaSec  Yes and they have for years.
    19
  55.  @Rohinthas  I feel personally attacked. Real talk: i was complaining about it back then: "we code in xml, bootstrapped in java, and its terrbile". Literally had a project that required writing java swing... in xml. Then at runtime having to xslt it into actual java, to be compiled and dynamically loaded at runtime. It was silly then and just plain offensive now.
    19
  56. Skill issues are very real and you have to weigh the tradeoffs. What capability is that foot gun buying you? For most business apps: little-to-none.
    17
  57.  @thelaw3536  in real life, what you claimed is nonsense. It's a completely different paradigm; the language is irrelevant.
    17
  58.  @iamcleaver6854  It doubled the demand without more supply. That drives up prices. Economics 101. I'm certainly not blaming women, but that's just math.
    16
  59. Imagine if From Software wanted to charge you $0.25 every time you died. Suddenly that 'challenge' is predatory.
    16
  60.  @suede__  Literally never had or seen that happen. The only thing i've ever had 'fail' due to debugging was timeouts and mulit-threaded code, which is completely expected.
    15
  61.  @nicholasmaniccia1005  You're conflating coupling with configuration vs convention.
    14
  62. It's not just learning a syntax or grammar; every language has an ecosystem and expected idioms. IME java devs will likely take a `List<T>` whereas in C# it tends to be `IEnumerable<T>`. Java solutions tend to be more 'abstract' than C# solutions. C# tends to have better async support, which has a non-trivial impact on the code.
    14
  63. TBFairer, that's the most accurate prep for life after college
    14
  64. Databases are deterministic
    14
  65. A bad abstraction isn't the problem, it's the 900 gigs of other things that depend on that wrong abstraction that's the issue. A bad abstraction can also introduce all kinds of coupling that is near intractable in a real system
    14
  66. They do; they just don't share it. You can get a plugin to see it again.
    14
  67. I'm surprisingly impressed. Kinda crazy how much 'convergence' there is across languages, even the ones you least expect.
    13
  68. Waking up in the house paid for by java isn't so bad.
    13
  69. I've unironically inherited long-lived code bases not far off from this. Literally velocity templates, to generate pig templates, to generate dynamic JS on the server that worked only worked w/the dynamic template generated by that request (mostly html ids).
    13
  70. New to development, huh?
    13
  71. IME the onus is on the wannabe dev to bootstrap themselves. Even then, if you have the education/certification, you'll be lowballed w/o relevant experience. Thing is, once you have this experience, you're suddenly worth ~30% more than when you started but they don't recognize your actual market value. Seems crazy to me the broken interview/hiring process wasn't cited. I've seen great devs passed on because they couldn't rattle off a CS algorithm from memory.
    13
  72.  @Snail641  This situation 100% exists.
    13
  73. A nice perk of specific versions is you can add known vulnerability analysis to the ci/cd. I like to do version upgrades as their own unit of work; since it 'isn't supposed to change anything' it should be obvious what the root cause is.
    13
  74.  @therainman7777  Or he's actually a senior engineer and telling the truth. Cope more.
    12
  75. Him agreeing w/your biases doesn't make them true. Speaking for myself, times have never been better. Not even close.
    11
  76. What dogmatic BS. Saying always is as naive as saying never. The bottom line is coming to consensus always takes longer than not but doesn't always add value. Certainly, it does some of the time, which is when we should pair. Breaking up and coordinating the work is an overhead working alone doesn't require. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes the coordination is almost as much effort as the work.
    11
  77.  @gezenews  Being hired as an 'app dev' and your whole day is refreshing AMIs, updating security policies and credentials, rotating certs, fixing the ci/cd, updating vulnerable app code/dependencies, troubleshooting/restarting services, etc.
    11
  78. Ok, that's like the 3rd video now that's just too full of political BS. I'm out.
    11
  79. There are a lot of kids who've been coding for < 10 years that think they know way more than they do.
    11
  80. Sure, as long as you're solving the same problem others have solved millions of times.
    11
  81. I think it depends on the ROI of clever, which largely depends on how bright the dev is. If you understand "clever" it can save you tons of boilerplate and allow for very terse, clear code. But if your project is long lived and you have rotating crew of 'commodity' devs you really need to consider your LCD. The damage a 'good' dev leaves behind when a company typically hires clowns is immense. The design will be compromised out of ignorance and words like 'spaghetti' are all but certain.
    10
  82. We need less silos! Collaboration is the key to velocity! 1 month later... we are missing too many commitments due to all the distractions! People aren't managing their time properly!
    10
  83. Almost everything that a 'platform' brings is taken away by the inability to google it, ramp up new users, etc. even if it's good. I've never seen a good one irl.
    10
  84.  @selfishcapitalist3523  It should be pretty clear from his content
    10
  85. Most of its useless, but you get paid more for knowing how to use it so...
    10
  86. I'll take "stuff that didn't happen for $100, alex"
    10
  87. They have a monopoly over their walled garden, which is fine. If they make shady deals within that garden, it could end similarly.
    10
  88. The analogy i use is playing an instrument vs programming in midi. On a practical level, you can 'play' any instrument from extinct to fantastical and create entire arrangements by yourself with midi. It's always perfect and consistent. However, you are missing a vital tool: the feedback loop of ad-hoc creation; of improvisation and inspiration. Those things matter when you're not quite sure where you want to go but have a general idea.
    10
  89. Thats just the oracle java distro, openjdk, corretto, etc are unaffected. Unsurprisingly, everyone is bailing for one of those and graalvm might make it a past tense 'problem' anyway as produces native code. If you're dumb enough to pay for oracle db, you are likely dumb enough to pay for java too.
    10
  90. That manager is rewarded on short term deliverables, not long-term maintenance, and it's reflected in the software akin to Conway's law. He'll be promoted, cuz he's obviously 'effective', and eventually some other sucker will take the fall when the system is found to be 'unmaintainable'.
    10
  91. I'm an absolute lover of coding/productivity tools. I'd attribute more of my success as a dev to choosing/learning the right tools vs raw talent. My point being I really WANT to like AI but so far i've been very underwhelmed. I honestly feel like my tradition IDE tools and introspection is still better. I can fully accept that maybe i'm doing it wrong so looking forward to your spelunking videos.
    9
  92. If you think only 1 side is the problem, you're the problem.
    9
  93. I'm a senior dev and have literally never had it produce working code IRL. Sure, is rocks on CS homework, but chokes on anything even slightly novel. You can claim 'skill issue' all you like, but the entire value proposition is it lowers the skill floor. So far, that claim is completely false.
    9
  94. You'd have to pay > 25% more than remote companies just to break even economically. That's completely ignoring the QoL and intangible benefits.
    9
  95. UBI isn't coming, get a job.
    9
  96.  @freesoftwareextremist8119  100%. There are old fools as well. Still, there's generally a correlation with experience and specialization.
    9
  97. Premature abstraction is roughly 3,432,872 times worse than premature optimizations.
    8
  98.  @Fupicat  Oh, but they try to use it there too
    8
  99. That's the hype. In practice, there really isn't a ton of accidental complexity and these snowflake abstractions are hinderances.
    8
  100. This will make actual programmers even more valuable as the supply drops off exponentially.
    8
  101. As is the opposite
    8
  102. Want to hear my anecdote about how bad comments cost us years?
    8
  103. Apartments didn't even exist until the mid 2000s.
    8
  104. I just got paid and yet i'm already broke. See?
    8
  105. I worked at a fortune 100 company with a forced 'platform' and it was terrible. Forced upgrades that could just blow up an entire sprint with breaking changes, yet you can't get things like a modern version of java on the platform. Some terrible leaky yaml mess over the real cloud apis, only you can't google anything and slower, undocumented bug fixes. A new cloud service that solves your problem? Not for at least a year for the 'platform team' to add another bad abstraction over the latest cloud services, assuming they think you need it and they feel like supporting it. All while touting innovation and autonomy.
    8
  106. For me its being picomanaged to death. I spend > 80% of my time talking about what i'm doing so people who have no ability, and all the authority, can weigh in.
    7
  107. But angular will put hair on your chest. Pair that with java, and everything after that will seem 'not that bad'.
    7
  108. You're falling for snake oil. Enjoy.
    7
  109. Its like spam: it wasn't illegal until the government wasn't making money on stamps.
    7
  110. @limelight81 I make a decent salary precisely because I didn't fall for that trap. I've seen it happen plenty enough to know to warn others. Knowing the market and when you're being taken advantage of is just as, if not more, important than actual skills if you care about your salary.
    7
  111. You are buying nothing by doing that as its still the callers problem. You've added no information and added noise. If you were translating it to a RUNTIME exception or adding some contextual information to the error string it'd be potentially useful.
    7
  112. Golang. Minimalist to a fault. I have to grow my own trees before I can chop them down for kindling, to start a fire, to do the actual task of boiling water.
    7
  113. IME success as a lead is largely dictated by the org and its culture. Some orgs just want an official 'face' at the meetings to represent the team, so you get a bit more paperwork and a couple chores. Some orgs are looking for a scapegoat or a miracle and you'll likely fill one of those 2 roles perfectly! It's a pretty different skillset and i'm not convinced SWEs are best positioned for the transition. You can't just push the He-Man button and come out the other side of a weekend bender w/working code (i.e. success) anymore. Good bye actionable error messages, hello politics and spin!
    7
  114. This is literally one of the most reasonable channels i'm offered. Skill issue on your part.
    7
  115. What really bothers me is that my portfolio manager is probably falling for this crap
    7
  116. No, because checked exceptions still send the control flow to outer space. Errors as values come back to the caller.
    7
  117. Even better is getting paid. For that, java scales far better.
    7
  118.  @thought-provoker  If you need that level of predictability then build it before you sell it or waterfall it out to the smallest detail. Otherwise, you're not solving an agile problem and your failures aren't because of the devs or agile. Its a management failure. Predictability always comes at the cost of throughput. If you want predictability i'll tell you next month when I really think it'll be next week. I'm guessing you don't like that answer because you don't want 'waste' either. Pick your poison, cuz thats how reality works.
    7
  119.  @seanupton709  As in I was more likely to vote for that party when it was reasonable. Get it?
    7
  120. Agism and tech bullet lists mean 10 years of experience from 20 years ago is effectively useless; even legacy shops fancy themselves as on the cusp of upgrading and will pass you over. I personally love that there's always something new and shiny to play with, but I also get how it isn't really 'optional'. If you want to sit on your sweet vb6 or ROR skills, you'll eventually be stuck in a very poorly managed gig you hate with very few options.
    7
  121. Jira is such trash. Which search box will find what? Ctrl+F is broken? When i click this, will it open a tab or 'dialog' after scrolling and thrashing for 20 seconds? Feeling lucky? Hit ESC and see what randomly happens.
    6
  122. You're going to supply a source, right?
    6
  123.  @BryonLape  And having to sift through all the resumes where they think sticking a json blob in mongo during the todo tutorial is 'full stack'. I see guys 2 years out of school applying for 'senior dev' positions. Yeah, no.
    6
  124. These claims blow my mind. AI literally costs me time with all its false starts and hallucinations. I'm quite good with intellij/eclipse/etc so really want to like AI but it's not even close to useful atm. Definitely a solution looking for a problem.
    6
  125. Most developers aren't nearly as clever as they think they are, but that doesn't stop them from making a mess of even trivial things. However, in an async world they are far less brave as the 'complexity budget' is largely spent. I've found that actually makes things easier as you're tackling essential complexity, which is researchable, vs some wannabe 'architect's layer on top of JPA (or whatever).
    6
  126. When you've actually earned something, youll understand
    6
  127. I found the complete opposite. It would offer screeds of irrelevant stuff and thwart my traditional ide tools that *actually work*. Somehow 'refactoring' can now literally break code. Seriously. I've disabled all the 'AI' features and cant wait for this snake oil to go away.
    6
  128. FYI multi clipboard is built into windows; win+V to select from the list and paste
    6
  129. Just like OOP there's 99% chance you don't have a problem that warrants microservices but it'll be the defacto solution anyway.
    6
  130. You ain't gonna like the hard labor job you don't get to choose.
    6
  131. Nope, control flow is the key. Exceptions are still worse.
    6
  132. You know how you try to find the lowest price possible to make the most of your money? Them too
    6
  133. Is there a point to this screed?
    6
  134. I'm at an org where devs are reprimanded for addressing tech issues that 'werent asked for' in the ticket even if they only take a couple hours and are objectively better. They also treat devs as coding bandwidth; their advice is almost never taken and any deviation from the glorious scrum plan is stomped out vigorously with a lecture on priorities. Of course, anything that doesn't go to plan is blamed on the devs as it's assumed the plan 'should' have worked. I can tell you without hesitation that the awful environment kills engagement and therefore productivity/quality. Devs have to take the top ticket (can't even have agency within the sprint as it's been decided for you) so are happy to just plug away at tickets w/no cares given to the actual impact or value.
    6
  135. The US rewards competitiveness. For example, average software engineer salary in the US is $120k with a ~30% tax rate. France is $60k with a ~50% tax rate. That's why we answer emails at the grocery store.
    6
  136. I worked with a team that had multiple 'microservices' that had to share a lib that defines the DTO's between them. You had to update the DTO project, then update all the 'microservices' to depended on it, then all be deployed together. And no, you couldn't just upgrade 'some' of the endpoints, there was one jar to rule them all. The hilarious part? It was the same team maintaining all of the 'microservices'. All they did in practice was add a bunch of infra to support network vs in memory calls.

  144.  @stojadinovicp  That's just not true; this is not a silver bullet. Sometimes large frameworks break things with no 'intermediary' path, its all or nothing. For example, Spring R2DBC changed their DB client which broke every single one of our DAOs. The 2 clients can't co-exist so 'branching by abstraction' isn't really an option (this involves DB txns, so even stupid class loader tricks won't save you). Cybersecurity is demanding that upgrade, yet the team still has to deliver on the existing roadmap.

Yes, that `Function` is an object, but in practice it's used like a function in other languages thanks to java SAM support.

  165. If you aren't building tools/libraries, it's almost useless precisely because those efforts abstracted the need for common cases. Most java devs are completely ignorant of how threading works despite being a core language feature, they just know not to create new ones in a servlet. Thats all the business needs the vast majority of the time so ime there's usually 1-2 guys that actually understand this 'difficult' CS stuff. Or C) there are plenty of good jobs that interview appropriately and its less time and effort to just apply to those. IME, a lot of the l33tcoders have chips on their shoulders. YMMV.
    4
  166. At the end of the day you have to connect code/function/args together to work at all, so why settle for 'knowing' it works when I can prove it? Types add very little friction while giving massive yields in performance, refactoring, etc. Even structural typing is 1000x better than dynamic typing. I personally find dynamic typing harder because I have to dedicate my limited brain power to the state of the 'object' structure as well as its actual state.

  172. It's very subtle. In the 'bad' example he's using the implementation by looking at the `.length` property of the backing field vs the `length()` method. Same with the 'get' example: in the 'bad' case he's directly accessing the array via index instead of the public api i.e. the `get(i)` method. Technically a `StringList` doesn't have to be backed by an array, even if it's the obvious implementation. However, if you couple to the array it will break when evolving.

  173. Naming your methods like a comment completely misses the point.

  174. Taken to an extreme this would end up with the whole team 'live editing' the entire code base.

  181. The actual valuable tests are around enforcing business behavior correctness, not about technical concerns. Context matters a lot too. When the result of your error is some text blowing out of a div or janky scroll behavior, no big deal, roll forward. When your error produces tons of data that has to be reconciled while all the stake holders spaz out, you feel differently. Knowing its 'correct' and being able to confidently iterate on that 'correctness' is suddenly quite valuable.

I should be the target demographic for this stuff. And it's complete trash. I just haven't seen it be useful; its literally worse than my old fashioned static analysis tools. When I have a `Foo` object, it used to offer autocomplete that took a `Foo` object. Now it fires off some completely unrelated screed of 10+ lines with obvious errors that don't even compile, never mind appropriate to the problem. Every 6 months I come back after however many "gamechangers" and it's the same crap with a slightly different aroma. Yet the claims are up to 'months of senior level code in minutes'. Mmmhmm.

  200. Stateless modular monoliths are essentially the sweet spot; easy to do large re-factorings and modules allow you to manage it like microservices without the crippling cost of redefining a logical boundary. Microservices in a mono repo can make sense in some cases if you need that level of autonomy. The 'for real' polyglot, bring your own pipeline, infra, monitoring etc microservices architecture is rarely the correct answer in my experience.

  201.  @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.
    3
  202. Yeah... no. Java 8 is nothing like java < 8. Nobody mutates in place anymore, even in the core APIs. How's that corba package doing? Have you tried the `Flow` api i.e. reactive programming? You can't write a meaningful app without 100+ annotations. Hell, we aren't even WORA/JIT these days! Java is nothing like it was 20 years ago.
    3
  203.  @peppybocan  That's my point; it really isn't. Take a 20 year java dev who is stuck on < java 8 and show them this code. I know they won't understand it because i watch people botch it on a regular basis in interviews. They might grok what its doing, but they can't write or explain it. Its not just new apis; its an entire paradigm shift. Python and ruby devs are more familiar with this than an old school java dev: getUsers() .filter(u -> u.getAge() > 18) .limit(3) .sorted(Comparator.comparing(User::getRating)) .map(User::getName) .toList()

  213.  @puntoycoma47  A static analysis tool actually understands what is going on. They deterministically make changes that were created by the authors of the tool. Their behavior is well defined and deterministic. The downside is its fairly tricky to pull off and labor intensive. Got a new language feature? Better update your tool as it could literally be broken. IDEs and LSP are examples of real time tools that do this. AI tools are just pattern matching that happens to work if you are close enough to what it was trained on. It doesn't understand a 'loop', it just knows that the pattern of creating a collection and loop followed by api calls is a common string of tokens, so offers that. This is why it can 'read your mind' when doing CS homework but chokes on anything even slightly novel. The plus side is as it sees new features in training data it will 'learn' them. Of course, it's just spewing whatever pattern it sees, that sometimes compiles

  226. Do you want it done right, or right now? The correct answer depends on the context. I'm not convinced JS etc is that much faster once you consider the entire ecosystem. I heard similar claims years ago when dynamic vs static languages debates were all the rage but never experienced it personally, even java is fine productivity wise if you use things like lombok, spring and a decent IDE. By the time you get done w/all the cloud BS the language seems like a small factor in the overall scheme. To me it feels almost like 'skipping tests saves time' argument where its only true in cases where it doesn't really matter.

  252. Congrats on discovering monolithic architecture; this is how we did it 20+ years ago before REST was the defacto standard. No, not just PHP, everything. Full server-side rendering/state/actions with a little jQuery (or whatever) where it was absolutely needed on the client. The upside to tight coupling is its productive, the downside is that its brittle. If your app is a 1-off you're going to completely rewrite? Great. If it's something that has to last through multiple years, tech shifts and dev teams? Not so much.

  253. Context is king. Even everything dave is suggesting is a bad choice if the app is being maintained by nothing but junior devs (yes, this happens). They won't understand the tradeoffs and unknowingly compromise the design, losing all of the advantages while keeping the disadvantages and compounding them. A 'VB' solution might actually be the right call.
    2
  254. ​ @ContinuousDelivery  I mean with little to no mentoring. The senior devs were "too busy" on "more important" projects. Yes, this happens. I've seen jr devs handed a 'simple' java MVC rich client w/o understanding OO. The first thing they did was start making things static to "gain access" as DI was 'too complicated and overkill'. That's far worse to me than just having it be either case consistently. I'd rather maintain a VB app clearly written by juniors than cargo culting juniors gone wrong, even if it "shouldn't have".

Now with GPS, PoS, webapps, etc a 15-year-old kid is 85% as good as they guy who thinks he's worth 10k more a year. If you're willing to skill up and be competitive there are more 6 figure jobs than ever in history. But if you fail to clear that gap, it's going to be worse than your entry level grandfather.

  265. ​ @stephendgreen1502  correct, there are definitely 'cross cutting' concerns that don't work in full autonomy. Security is one of the cases. There are others. For example, you likely should all be using some kind of standard for tracing/logging or trying to troubleshoot a request across services will be near impossible. If you have many disparate systems to monitor app health, that can be an issue too. this is usually where some kind of 'platform engineering' comes into play. the systems have to be coupled to work, the challenge is doing the minimal amount.

I'm guessing its easier to throw the devs under the bus for low quality where incomplete is seen as mismanaged. Bad leadership is often bad in every respect. The best part is we're replacing an app widely considered unmaintainable, which also has no tests!

  271. How long did it take you to create the wall-o-text prompt? Was that, combined with the actual iterations and think time, actually meaningfully faster than if you'd have just done it by hand with a competent IDE? What about the 10th time once you're familiar w/the language/framework/etc?

  272. I'd treat it like an instrument: just learn a songs you enjoy. Do things that keep you interested and want to keep doing it, the journey has to be pleasant too. Eventually you'll get fed up with hitting plateaus in self-learning and start seeing the value in things like data structures. You'll see that code that does 'the thing' you did in 1/5 the code and be intrigued; now you have a real reason to grind. I liken leetcode to jazz. Sure, its technically impressive and not everyone can do it, but it has little value in the real world. And certainly, nobody is going to pay you for it alone.

  282. This is called "Offensive Programming".

  286. ​ @andrealaforgia  Call it what you will, but most contracts define what should be implemented, by when and with a known budget. In fact, they usually spell out exactly what happens when those things don't happen. Waterfall may not be the answer in this very common case, but agile definitely isn't either.
    2
  287. 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

  288. When i started the browsers were completely deficient and non-compliant. Even just adding a click listener required a library like jquery to normalize the apis. CSS was complete trash, so table layouts were actually pragmatic. Remember, at the time we didn't even have border radius, you had to use a 3x3 grid with images in the corners. You aren't going to copy paste that on every element with rounded corners! Enter the framwork. Fast forward to today and none of this is needed. But legacy and momentum are very real things. We still don't use the metric system.

  290. Its run by business, not engineers; jsôn allows for a more commodity/fungible dev team. It takes a certain amount of scale before the tradeoff is worth it. Same for things like reactive programming, etc. The quality of your videos, in both content and presentation, is strong enough that it's deterring me from taking on that kind of load for a S&Gs channel of my own! I'd love to see more stuff 100% (i'd do the twitch stuff but it's a bit of a time commitment and i completely suck at multi-tasking so i can't really do it in the background)

  294. Music from the 50s and 60s often sounds objectively terrible technology-wise, which was a huge turnoff when i was a teen. When you are used to 'wall of sound', over dubs, and the lush reverbs of the 70s and beyond its hard to appreciate 'live' takes where it's all midrange and everything is bleeding into each other. Also, the highly distorted electric guitar was a new sound that was interesting and versatile. We haven't had that in quite some time. Arguably autotune?

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

  296. CloudFlare has entered the chat

  297. Java is attempting to keep everything "blue" via `VirtualThread`s, essentially multiplexing 1:N to real threads. It allows you to "block" on a value per normal function call semantics, but in practice the VirtualThread gets taken off the current 'carrier thread' by the jvm and placed back once it is unblocked. Scaling millions of virtual threads is fine.

  299. Serverless is a gamble: will you make for up the rip-off $/GFLOP of compute with your actual duty cycle? 10x the cost but 1/20th the usage is a win. Of course aws knows that by the time you hit that breakpoint you're probably locked-in :evil-pinky: Remember, aws is renting you the same hardware in Virginia either way.

  304. Amazing advice. This is the reality. Part of winning the game is picking the right certs and knowledge. Choose wisely because its non-trivial, which is exactly why it's well compensated! Doesn't matter if i like java, the market has spoken. Never in my life have I wanted to to ops/infra but the writing is on the wall, so I'm an "aws architect", i.e. I memorized their glossy brochure.
    2
  305. The problem space largely drives the 'shape' of the solution. Some solutions are easier to express in one language vs another. That metric is super flawed to me. Different languages have pros/cons depending on the problem we're solving. This 'function point metric' problem is a contrived problem space that's just not useful. Lets see how long it takes to create the N 'function points' required for, say, a distributed cache. Are you really going to do that in VB? Why not? I mean golly, it's #4!

  308. FP feels leaner to me, you don't need a GoF book just to do basic things in a 'good' way. You don't spend hours trying to shoehorn a non-oo concept into some object, arguing about how "Manager" classes are a code smell or getters are evil. The basic building blocks of FP seem harder to get at first, but i find the aggregate result to be more flexible and easier to understand.

  315. This is also in kotlin as well as java via spring, welcome to the party. It's kind of hilarious calling spring/jvm 'minimal' but API-wise it is: Kotlin Ktor: fun Route.customerRouting() { route("/customer") { get { } get("{id?}") { } post { } delete("{id?}") { } } } Java Spring: route(GET("/employees"), req -> ok().body( employeeRepository().findAllEmployees(), Employee.class)) .and(route(GET("/employees/{id}"), req -> ok().body( employeeRepository().findEmployeeById(req.pathVariable("id")), Employee.class))) .and(route(POST("/employees/update"), req -> req.body(toMono(Employee.class)) .doOnNext(employeeRepository()::updateEmployee) .then(ok().build())));

  331. I'm just going to call you liar.
    2
  332. Literally posts a bubble sort 'gotcha' and says he doesn't do them! When you've constrained the problem enough that there are obviously 'correct' and 'incorrect' solutions, that's a 'gotcha'. Real problems don't have ideal, provable solutions, just tradeoffs or judgment calls from experience. I'm far more interested in someone who can articulate the kind of tradeoffs they expect they'll have to make, which tradeoffs are 'bedrock' and can't be easily changed (async/blocking, event carried state, etc). I want to hear about cost, risks, likelihood of being wrong, implicit assumptions about the solution, etc. It should feel like 2 guys riffing on a solution and you choose the one that went the best, not just who scored the highest out of 100 possible points.

There's a channel i enjoy that has specifically said they can't do 'deep dives' anymore because the algorithm will kill the channel in the interim. its too bad because even though there's an audience for it, he's encouraged to do 'readers comments' on a frequent basis instead. Clickbait or die.

I think you are the one that is uninformed tech-wise; java doesn't need async because it now has virtual threads. We get the benefits of async without method coloring of async or complexity of reactive.

  355. It actually works fairly well if you are very diligent about IaC and test data generation, but if you aren't at near 100% automation, you're gonna have a bad time. In fact, our issue is it's so easy people spin up entire environments to test simple things, which is expensive unless everything is serverless. I think you are way underselling the effort to mock N apis for 'isolated' testing as well as ignoring what it DOESN'T test. You really want to test the 'glue' as well as the 'components' which mocking doesn't really achieve. When you have IaC mastered you can do things like bring up an environment that is dedicated to doing some long running 'nightly' job that requires several async components chatting through multiple pieces of infra (rest calls, MQs, api gateway, etc). It's hard to be overly confident mocking something like that.

  356. I just can't imagine writing javascript when TypeScript is a thing. Understanding static types and generics is a pretty low bar for a dev.

  359. I promise your screed of OO indirection is a complete mess to anyone who hasn't read at least a half dozen books on OO, design patterns, etc. And if you have, its suddenly 'elegant'.

  365.  @leversofpower  Anyone that had to figure out how to combine the fundamental things they genuinely understood to create novel solutions vs brute force iteration. Historically, the latter only worked in very narrow problem spaces. With AI the bar for 'good enough' has been lowered, but the bar for excellence has not. Obviously, there will still be amazing devs that are passionate and just naturally curious. But when you don't have that 'difficulty' filter, they become more of a unicorn than they already are relative to the pool.

  378.  @philthompson2239  I did not, they are all relative values meant to illustrate the power and value of fast iteration and short feedback loops. We might be duking it out for the bottom 2 producers in the org, only one is half the value of the other. It's not the flexing contest you seem bent on winning. The entire point is no matter your ability level the ability to iterate quickly will lead you to better designs and higher productivity. It can actually be a great asset to the less innately gifted and of enormous value in large teams of disparate abilities. I can't make you smarter but I can make you more efficient. I refuse to believe you're unaware of your aggressive tone. I hope you feel as foolish as you look trying to 'take the high road' now.

  388. People are moving away from mutability in general to the point where frameworks expect/demand it.
    1
  389.  @CottidaeSEA  its a different paradigm with its own pros and cons. its not that people don't understand, they just don't agree on the value of the trade-offs. immutable code is easier to understand as you don't have to worry about state over time. you don't have to 'manage' state, so it reduces bugs. it's a big part of why functional programming is on the rise and these apis support that nicely. if performance is critical you might want to consider something like persistent structs, object pooling, mutable structs, etc. but if you don't have measurements and SLAs, the 'performance' claim isn't very convincing.
    1
  390.  @CottidaeSEA  that's just one PoV but there are many other ways to think about solving that problem with different constraints. For example, most front-end frameworks model state changing over time as either a `signal` or `observable`, which emits immutable values over time. The reason is because when you're in a highly concurrent environment mutability is a nightmare.

Minimum wage... not so much. You know why? Entry level jobs have never been easier i.e. less valuable, and the pay reflects that. In 1998 you had to know the town to deliver pizza, make change to be a cashier or risk your safety in a factory. Now a 15-year-old kid w/no experience can do them almost equally well. If you're willing to earn it, there's never been more opportunity than now. If you want to minimum merit your way through life, you're gonna have a bad time.

There's a lot more people making good money now than ever before largely due to tech, not just the occasional doctor and lawyer.

More and more people can afford a 2nd home than ever before, etc. At the same time, entry level jobs artificially inflated by unions are now overseas and/or increasingly automated (another opportunity gap!). And harsh as it is, we haven't had a good old-fashioned war deplete the young house buyer pool in a while.

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...

The disparity is because the value of a 'peasant' is lower than ever due to the investments of the rich. 20 years ago even delivering a pizza required knowing the city, cashiers had to do math, factory jobs were dangerous, etc. Thats going to increase supply and lower compensation. It's really that simple. I'd agree, if the only thing you bring is unskilled labor then that gap is pretty large. Learn to weld, code, etc and suddenly things ain't so bad.

  470. The problem is that you can miss entire paradigm shifts because you don't want to learn the current 'fad'. Reskilling from near ground 0 vs absorbing along the way can create a self-perpetuating obsolescence cycle. Take java 8; that's not just an api, it's a fundamental shift in thinking. I've interviewed folks who clearly haven't learned much after java 5 and they are basically useless now. The trick is cherry picking things that will be helpful in the future, which is largely unknowable.

  496. It's also about employers and expectations. When I started those frameworks didn't exist so it was just expected you would have to spend days to weeks just getting cross browser javascript working. Writing your own libraries wasn't unthinkable, which was an opportunity to learn how to write larger codebases (even if you were one of the red shirts finding out OOP is mostly BS 😥). Now you're expected to deliver something that's actually useful, but the prereqs for `useful` is pretty high. By the time a more senior person chunks it down to something the jr can understand, they might as well finish it off. But then we have a bootstrapping problem.

Is this 'the man' stealing my wages? No. Setting up a datacenter used to take literal physical labor and now it's a few clicks in an html form. That skill is now genuinely worth less unless you leave near a cloud providers data center. When advancements come out you either skill up or get out. An artist should now expect to deliver an actual product/service/experience. Standalone art just isn't that valuable anymore. Is it better than AI art? Sure, but MDF is far more popular than 'real' wood for a reason.

Then, if i don't need it i just disable the breakpoint vs deleting the printf. If i need it back, i re-enable the breakpoint. You can even mange groups of these printf breakpoints in intellij to enable a bunch with one click. The fact i can drop frame in case i manually step too far is a coincidence 👀

Not if they get paid, how much, when or even how; just properly identifying you and your track. Remember, the exact same sound recording can appear on multiple works over time (greatest hits, compilation, movie soundtrack, etc), that have different rights owners at different points in time. Thats completely ignoring performers, which is distinct from rights owners. Also keep in mind that if it is 'on demand' or not actually matters. Non-interactive digital, i.e. Sirrius/Pandora charges differently than youtube or spotify. And that's the 'easy' short version, once you go international it gets extra stupid.

  576. The problem with the imperative version is it allows arbitrary complexity far too easily. In practice i haven't seen the typical map/filter/reduce type functions end up quite as complex as some of the multiple nested looping structures I've seen where every iteration sets booleans at various scopes to control the flow of the whole thing. For non blocking contexts writing imperative code can quickly get very complex without specific language support. For the functional version, its more an implementation detail.

  577. If we look at 'top' CEOs making top dollar, they really do have a 1000% impact compared to decades ago, if not more. They used to affect their local economy, or maybe even the 'tri-state area', but are now at a global scale for almost everything. My ISP went from someone tacking up some coax on existing telephone poles in the 90s to literal space programs. Is that not worth a few extra bucks? Do you really think those 'greedy' shareholders want to pay the 'greedy' CEOs that much? Why do you suppose they do it? Why aren't companies with low paid CEOs usurping the markets w/their competitive advantage of paying the workers more? Be honest. At the same time, entry level has never been safer or easier i.e. less valuable; cashiers can't even make change anymore and you can deliver food w/o knowing the language of your locale, never mind the geography. You are genuinely less valuable to the company precisely due to their investments in productivity. They will get that RoI, not you.

Does 'stress testing' the idea fall down and where? Specifically, "if we could theoretically create a deployment artifact on every keystroke instantly". This implies its so continuously merged that the concept of a 'branch' is meaningless. I'm not convinced that's a good (manageable) thing.

  715. Microbenchmarks are usually testing disk cache, branch prediction, etc. more than any meaningful code. Sometimes the smallest change can completely invalidate the findings. Don't write specialized code unless you have a specialized problem.

  716. Extroverts are often given disproportionate weight/success in 'live' interactions since being likable, well-spoken and/or quicker witted rule the day. They also tend to do better on politicking due to 'people skills' like spin, reading the room, body language etc. Of course those folks want a return to the office; I'm sure the HS QB is way more into the homecoming game too!

  720. If the 'deal' is done before the product it almost certainly won't be agile. Those deals aren't experiments; they have defined deliverables and budgets already set... and realistic estimates aren't competitive. You just have to hope it's possible in reality or your weasel-in-chief can dance around the situation in ~18 months.

  733. 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.

  734. Its an estimate, not a promise. Stop pretending you're agile when in practice you function as waterfall. If you need an exact feature set by a specific date then get your Gantt chart and like it. I've seen multiple companies commit to a deadline w/a third party without even meeting w/engineering to see if it was *possible*. They still ask for estimates, but anything above what they committed to is unacceptable. But they still refuse to sequence the events and back into it because they are 'agile', as if agile just increases productivity and reduces waste by magic with no trade-offs.

  736. ​ @ContinuousDelivery  I don't see how that's possible. If you have 2 components that are coupled via an MQ, mocking both sides isn't enough. You also have to verify all the configs/permissions etc are in place as well. Further, how do you test that those permissions have the desired effect on the system w/o an environment to do so?

  737.  @augustuskelley4170  That's how language works. Much like how people use 'literally' with figures of speech for emphasis; inaccurate but long accepted and understood. You knew exactly what I meant, I'm not sure why you insist on being pedantic.

  744. Yes! No, not "scientifically", but emotionally for sure. And that can affect 'inspiration' and 'QoL' that have tangible results the way a favorite guitar or paintbrush can. I'd view your history from a different lens. Netbeans allowed you to choose the scope of your interest/passion at that time and keep you engaged. You may well have been overwhelmed and discouraged otherwise. You seem like the genuinely curious type so i'm sure you were a mile deep into the JVM, etc while your cohort was at much more of a system level. I don't think its as disparate as you see it. You told a similar story about writing a java program to achieve what was essentially a 1 liner on the command line. Sure, in that case it makes you feel really stupid! But you gained a ton of knowledge about concepts like types, oo, late binding, reflection, etc. that are broadly applicable to engineering in general. Even if it's just to help validate why you didn't choose it and/or articulate that to youtube peasants.

  745. My issue is that in java, JPA is ~100x more complex than the SQL you're abstracting... even if it doesn't leak. Most vexing of all is when the DBA says 'here, this query uses one millionth of the resources' and you have NO IDEA how to get the actual ORM to spit that out, but the DBA query doesn't quite line up w/the object boundaries in your code so you can't just 'raw dog it'. And that's if youre LUCKY... For example `db.selectAll().count()` may do a count query... or it may pull back the entire DB into a list and then take its length. Nobody can answer w/o reading the docs, then you find out 'it depends' on 100 different settings, your driver, the actual RDBMS and the versions of all those parts. I know exactly what `select count(*)` does even in RDBMs' i have never used.

  746. You're viewing it wrong; FP is easier because it's explicit. When you call a function with 1 arg in OOP, it's actually implicitly passing every single field that's in scope, where even the caller doesn't know what that means. Might be nothing, might be dozens of (async mutating!) fields.
    1
  747. @ Its almost always what you want. In OOP when you call `user.doIt()` it's impossible to reason about (this is sold as good) because it implicitly takes every field in its scope as an argument. That's a bad thing. Its far better to just pass in what's needed. If you have some values that are unchanging over the life of a function, you probably are looking for partial application.

  752. I've experienced this with the trend towards functional programming and immutable everything in the java world. Many who've sunk countless hours taming the OO beast and learning the intricacies of locks/visibility/etc just find reason after reason to hate it. It generally devolves to 'its unreadable' as they marvel at some nasty beast with a cyclomatic complexity of 50+

  753. That's not how bad management works IME. That cowboy coder coworker will give < 1/2 your estimate with a manually tested hack and get the promotion based on 'productivity'. Bad management never connects the dots on the long term maintenance and tech debt, which is exactly why they are bad management! The sad part is that engineers that care about craftsmanship don't stick around so it snowballs.

You can make ~$100k a year in the US w/an easy job just parsing .csv files and adding crud screens to a legacy app. If you want to see those $150k+ numbers you're going to be putting in a TON of effort, well into diminishing returns!

You just don't exactly know if, how or when cuz abstraction, which is the entire point. For example, in an Option/Maybe/Try monad your code will only be applied to the data if it exists.
