No nothing like that at least the couple I've worked with. I think you are confusing these people with "coding minds" with people that can churn out working code quickly (they are a different beast). The code produced by the

It's true the resulting code isn't perfect. But there are design advantages to holding the code in your head that make up for sloppiness at least that was my observation. A code review for error checking is certainly advisable and

Great article, as I'm a bit of an old hat myself I'd like to add a few extra categories - Knows how to handle not knowing or getting stuck - some people have a melt down or won't ask for help when they hit a wall or don'

I've struggled so much with video games over the years. I have probably spent a significant percentage of my life playing a huge variation of games. By far the most destructive was MMORPG (Dofus) because it meets so many desires at onc

I noticed Musk tentatively mention nuclear - I think that's because it will be the only logical way to generate enough power to support a city in such an inhospitable climate. There is going to be a huge and ongoing energy need just to

I agree, I've been thinking about this issue myself quite a bit. If decisions are recorded and perhaps represented in more simplistic terms then the process of choosing a proxy can be simply comparing a proxies past votes to ones own v

I have a side project that I use to solve this problem. It creates your own reference that is downloaded and searchable locally for instant results. https://www.cof8.com

There is also I think an issue with enough content for free. At some point there is enough free games in a genre or enough free information on a topic that only people very passionate about the genre or topic will be willing to pay.

I'd suggest the fault is more with the police than the hospital... If police drop someone off and assert she claims to own a BMW but does not, claims to have a bank job and does not, then the hospital would have to assume she is delusi

My first thought is there is a lot of material up there that is going to just burn up in the atmosphere at some point. Would be nice to collect it all together for some later use? Maybe some kind of solar sail salvage drone could do it. Ste

It's much easier to believe abstractly or understand the problem from afar. In Australia we have a lot of advertising to highlight the dangers of disasters to try and counter this psychological phenomena. I expect people will continue

This one is really embarrassing. I started a new job for a small company as the only developer with the aim of creating a new site for them. So they gave me full access to their very small technology stack that included one Mssql server. So

What I found most interesting about this was the the concept of success changed over time. Success seems to be deeply personal and is perhaps a reflection of a deeply personal fear. In our society the fear of not having enough money seems t
