I think this may be a consequence of hiring for a position with the word “architect” in it. It implies the need for complexity vs. Getting a gaggle of senior devs together and letting them sort out CI/CD and patterns as they are needed

Besides this being ineffective for the motivated, it might have a subtle antitrust effect. As kids find alternative platforms, perhaps they will be vendor locked to them instead of the Meta empire.

This is underappreciated. The number of individual conversations (edges) possible between n engineers (nodes) does not scale linearly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_graph

As a former employee of state and local government, who walked away from both pensions, this was my takeaway. At the beginning of a project, the government could spend above market for a great architect to lay down the data model and put so

The Supreme Court has weighed in on this with a little more nuance in their decision in Katz v. United States: “What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home or office, is not a subject of Fourth Amendment protection.

To add to this, engineers consider tradeoffs. You might choose to add comments and let the logic unfold in a less succinct way in order to improve readability and understandability. You might also consider your colleagues’ limited cognitive

I wonder if we are back to “who you know” because of a couple of factors: 1. The risk of a bad hire is great, and this de-risks that 2. It facilitates more natural and spontaneous conversations, which for better or worse short-circuits a we

Cognitive load is super important and should be optimised for. We all should have as our primary objective the taming of complexity. I was surprised to find an anti-framework, anti-layering perspective here. The author makes good points: it

I can unironically imagine legitimate use cases for this idea. I’d wager that many DBs could fit unnoticed into the data footprint of a modern SPA load.

This is super difficult for me to parse. Could you please dumb it down for me?

Unforeseen scope creep is the reason to utilise Django over Flask, I feel. Also, you can pick and choose what to use in Django similarly to Flask - it just has a higher initial learning curve. Once you get to sufficient levels of complicate

Once again, and I regret the ad hominem, I find Uncle Bob’s parochial delivery completely distracting from the substance of his message.

Played an entire game even though I need to be doing other things. Your 9 year old has written something super impressive.

I found them in 2015 when I was maintaining a legacy app for a university. The developer that implemented them could have used a few bools but decided to cram it all into one byte using bitwise operators because they were trying to seem sma

Great stack, I use a very similar stack and for the same reasons. I imagine you’re also in your late 30’s. Honestly the best UI I’ve seen is the terminal-based one at libraries in the 80’s and 90’s that allowed you to find books. Lightning

I have been both to this site and to Coober Pedy, South Australia. Pretty neat bit of architectural convergent evolution for extremely high temperature environments.

Dr. Murthy understands social media and the headwinds that younger generations are facing. With this in mind, are we underestimating the devastation awaiting the younger generations? We have scientists cocksure of natural disasters in the m

I love this. I also wish that Django would provide native scaffolding a la Laravel and Rails.

Such a policy would improve investment in data security and aligns nicely with our other policy regarding hostage-taking: we don’t negotiate.

I know this says credentials were in a repo but I wonder if this has to do with their self-hosted (EE?) GitLab instance. I've found mine (CE) sort of difficult to upgrade sometimes. Not sure how they store keys/tokens but it is so

That is the weird thing. I think Londoners have little to prove and are thus more relaxed and confident.

In San Francisco, these numbers are wildly cheaper than the reality. Except a broadway musical.

This was my experience as a dual citizen. Sydneysiders are sometimes wannabe Londoners with an odd superiority complex and frequent use of passive aggression.

I have never wanted kids, but I made a very small contribution to Django core, and after it was merged in, I realized that this is the most likely way that I could be remembered as a footnote in history, even if Django is retired from popul
