This is not a politically correct thing to say but there is a class of neurodiverse software developers who display these characteristics and I suspect the author belongs to this group. Frankly, reminds me of Michael O'Church

You have to be able to pick your battles. Sometimes people are in the wrong teams. Sometimes they are just assholes who think they are always right. Too often the "right thing" is subjective.

If you were willing to speak truth to power like that, you would not be in her team in the first place.

A rather painful reading experience. The author needs to learn how to edit their thoughts and use punctuation/grammar properly.

Nope, nothing got cut. My post stands as I wrote it. It is not ad-hominem and not what-aboutery. It is very much a reasonable question to ask what they use their much-touted AI on and how this relates to the well documented privacy concerns

Of particular note: "Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai (who believes AI is “more profound than electricity or fire”) has emphasized that Google is an “AI-first” company, with the company seeking to implement machine learning in nearly everyth

The best idea is to not use their services. Switch from Windows to Linux, de-google and if you must use Android keep the data on your phone to a minimum.

The churn rate is an effective question. In places with revolving door cultures interviewers get rather uncomfortable when asked such a question.

Questions about tests. I have found consistently that when an interviewer does not know what the test coverage of their codebase is, more likely than not they don't care about such trivialities. No matter how respectable the company mi

The article turns rather farcical towards the end... Erich Von Daeniken...

Can you tell me a bit a more about the long-term project where you applied full ES? What kind of domain/business context informs this decision? I am aware of the costs of the approach, but would like to know the real world problems it

Did you go with full event-sourcing? That is, not persisting domain objects at all, just reconstructing their state from the event store?

I used a few over the years. Boleh, Nord, PIA, etc. One day I woke up and realised I do not know who runs those companies. For example, Nord is registered in Panama, a country where declaring company ownership is not mandatory. Why should I

Survivor-bias logical fallacy. Focusing on the outliers doesn't really prove a thing.

Michael O'Church, is that you?

As a developer with 10 years' worth of professional experience, I can tell you your career prospects are pretty good. If you actually like programming and think you have an aptitude for it, I would even go as far as to say your prospec

A red flag regarding the nature of the company. No interview shows lack of diligence. If there is no diligence about who they let in, what else are they not diligent about?

Very nice, but could have used higher resolution.

Software engineering. It can be a bit tough getting in because employers are reluctant to train programmers with no work experience. With a couple of years experience your options broaden significantly, with 5+ years and 2-3 employers under

This probably is not what you want to hear but your first job will be hard to find and will probably suck, too. Stay for one year, then start looking around- you will be surprised by your range of options. In the meantime, keep looking.

Breaking down offers into pros and cons and comparing them against each other really helps. But you need to have a clear idea of what you are looking for and more importantly, what your dealbreakers are.

An offer that does not require an interview is a massive red flag.

Personally, I would be reluctant to go to a face-to-face interview that hasn't been preceded by a phone interview and (ideally) a technical test. By the time I step into the employer's office, I am 90% sure I would like to work fo

If I remember rightly there was a study about ten years ago that showed that multiple small meals throughout the day provided the same benefits as three meals.

Such tests are not very informative when they are disconnected from the type of companies/industries one is looking for. This is a criticism I have of the Joel test, too, since at the time he wrote it it seemed to me a good way to eval

Thank you kindly, gaming was the final reason why I was hesitant to jump to Linux. It is nice to see high quality workarounds.
