Agreed. But in that case, it's no longer a principle because, as you said, it's been let go. The point above was about prioritizing something above the principle one still keeps. I work in marketing, nothing black and white about

Reading the comments the author is basically "one with ai" where his life is deeply integrated with ai agents. I have a friend exactly like that. And he has being doing it so long that he cannot even respond to a discord without a

As a startup I tried .NET (it was .NET 8), and it was great. The problem was the education around .NET. So much DDD-this, Clean-that, CQRS-this, architecture-that. I get all that stuff is for enterprise with bigger teams. But there wasn&#x2

While I agree with your point that it's sometimes about getting things done, but your example is flawed. Your example about gas-powered street lights is arguing for technology evolution. But the people who say "AI have take the fu

I have charged clients first before I start. Most in full, some in part. The question "why would they trust me to deliver?" is a good one. And there are two answers: 1. How you sell will determine their trust level. In my sales de

I have been on both sides. And I agree. I have been a "business co-founder" for many years. I learned to program at a professional level 5 years ago. Today, i spend most of my time as a "tech-co-founder". Now that I am o

What is absolutely wild to me is how many developers build "developer focused tools". That is the red'est sea to swim in as a small dev because it's easy to build things you can use every day. I have a lot of friends who

Sure but... what is there to "disagree" with? customers are paying for it. If you don't want it, don't pay. But why expend energy on "disagreeing"? weird.
