False dichotomy, and if you actually witness this first hand and only have two options in your candidate pool, you might need to spread your net a bit further. Also the original post was about READMEs only, so if they have unmaintainable co

It isn't just the older generation (and actions done 20-30 years ago) doing dumb things and getting shamed for it. The newer generation grows up without learning the implications of mass surveillance, mass long-term storage, mass searc

Honestly what should your salary be if you have domain expertise and are good with data science tools (and tools surrounding them like git, CI/CD, etc.)?

I think the biggest motivation is impact -- I want to do something more useful than company or marketing websites. Tools or websites that someone relies on and that I can take some pride in. I find myself not caring about my current job to

This is a good technical approach but if you get this far, your salary won't match the value delivered by your actual skillset. Companies know this. There's not appropriate compensation for people who can get comfortable with this

IF is better because unlike fad diets, you aren't actually buying anything new, and the discipline to do the fasting (IMO) helps avoid overeating or unhealthy choices by default. It is removing something whereas most of the other die

Ancillary point: there was too much coding standards as tribal knowledge in this, and a lot of cases. Many times developers get held to standards that they didn’t know existed. This still triggers developers to feel bad about their work (or

TBH if the thing is getting rewritten every two years because of $new_paradigm, code quality matters less. It would be nice if, given a task, we could teach people to choose the right approach in code the first time, but given we still have

I don't think Bezos's post was necessarily a tell-all of everything they could have against AMI though. It just looked like the first shot. IANAL, no evidence, just opinions, etc.
