Again, how is that the same as saying that blame should be tied to compensation? Separate out management for a moment. So an engineer who gets paid 50% more than another deserves 50% more blame for a failure? I thought HN was a place where

Why should blame be tied to compensation? Compensation tends to be tied to perceived impact. The perceived impact of a manager with 10 reports who are all focused and delivering individually is much higher than the impact of a manager with

The world running on top of C and Linux being popular have nothing to do with this. Have you looked at what TIOBE claims to measure? They very specifically say it’s not about the number of lines of existing code. It’s supposed to be a measu

I’ve never worked at a startup. I know very few people who have been involved in the startup world. I have exclusively used C and C++ in my professional work (with a tiny bit of python for scripting). Yet I haven’t know anybody who primaril

I would suggest that rather than just listing things that didn’t work out, people also discuss what they learned from the experience and how they would act differently if they had a chance to do it all over.

TIOBE’s methodology and rankings seem very dubious to me. When was the last time you met someone who primarily programs in C? (I was one of those people for 14 years, but that was a while ago). Red Monk seems much closer to reality: https:

Yes it’s not at 1.0, but my point when I mention to people actually doing deep learning that Swift is coming and has support for native differentiation and static typing, the response is underwhelming to the point that I wonder if either of

Swift was open-sourced 18 months before Google announced support for Kotlin. There was probably several months or more of debate and work within Google by the time of the announcement, but it seems reasonable that during those 18 months the

This seems very unlikely to me. They would need it to interoperate with their existing stack. They chose Kotlin where they reasonably could have chosen Swift and then worked to extend it to work with their existing stack. Judging by what I

It’s a relatively inexpensive legal stimulant. It’s not just tech people. It seems popular amongst all class of people most everywhere.

Yes, any new language needs to start somewhere, but it’s interesting to think we need new languages for existing domains and that they have any chance of success to begin with. Consider that by many accounts JavaScript, Java, and Python bas

This is pretty much the first question I ask every time I see a new language pop up. The fact is the “language” part of a programming language is the easy part. The hard part is the ecosystem, tooling, mindshare, etc. If your differentiatio
