I've been where you are, once about four months ago and once six years ago. Both times I stayed longer than I should have. Both times I hit the same burn out symptoms you describe: hating my daily grind, barely limping through the day.

I'm currently working with a lot of younger developers and I think most would benefit from reading this type of article. The first bullet point is one I find myself referencing very often. The tip about revising the on-boarding documen

I had a similar experience once but a little more extreme. On a take home interview test they were asking to build a full backend analytics setup plus a data viz UI. I called the recruiter back and told them an estimate to a problem like th

Think most companies resist using lower level languages due to their ultimate purpose being to build products that provide value and sell them. They are generally far less concerned with the technical details and conciseness of the implemen

Yeah, I'm lucky enough to be able to locally use the prebuilt binaries of seabolt for OS X. I wasn't so lucky with my deployment of it, which is on an alpine container. Definitely not a lot of fun installing the C toolchain &

Interesting to see neo4j released an official Go driver. Java, Javascript, Python, dotnet and now Go have an officially supported bolt driver.

I'd agree with this, I've had good experiences and downright painful ones with performance reviews. I've always found the process outcomes are heavily influenced by the relationship with my manager. I feel like you need a cer

Came to say something similar; I see it with library choices a lot as well; poor library choices ~= sloppy programming. I've had a lot of issues in the the past with 'conventional wisdom' lib choices that result in a lot of r

Yeah, I've not delved deeply into the details of his life but that would make sense. Have to imagine she was there providing that day to day support and helped give him purpose.

There are many reasons to celebrate Stephen Hawking but the one I personally am most impressed by his ability overcome an ALS diagnosis in his college years and go on to live a life of such distinction. It takes some serious courage to sold

I generally agree we are products of the environment/circumstance we are born into but it's left to your free-will and choice as to how to best persevere in that environment. I've always viewed talent as the tool that enables

I've had a lot of success with paired programming in different team/project environments and really have only done 'mob' experiments. I didn't find there to be a lot of benefit to mobs vs pairing unless the goal was

I'm not sure I'd classify myself as a loner(married, fairly large social circle) but I definitely value my self reflection time. I do think I tend to be more 'dense' in my social interactions as the article suggests. Ie

This was a pretty thought provoking read for me; it put into words some of the beliefs I have operated by. However it's also important to remember that to be 'doing' you need to have a clear picture of why you're doing w

I had similar experiences with pairing; often it was mandated by folks in charge who didn't seem to have a great grasp of what the benefits were. Productivity/velocity tended to suffer noticeably on many teams. It worked for other

This was initial thought as well, seems like both would fit the needs specified, multiple column search etc. I've had good experiences with both ES and Solr. They both have pretty healthy user bases and are well documented. Only hang-u

I've always considered IntelliJ as the Cadillac of Java IDEs. Eclipse(or plug-in modded Eclipse) seems to be the most common in places I've worked. NetBeans seems to be less popular than either.

I'll agree with the working out regularly being good for your health, both mental and physical. Exercising has gotten me through some tough spots in my life and it has always been a major coping mechanism. Another thing that has always work

I mostly have a case for the extra grip. I had issues with dropping it and have basically a grippy rubber sleeve for a case. I've probably dropped 10 or so times and I'd guess 1 or 2 of them would have have caused cracks with out the case.

I work in a very large company that has primarily Java for web apps and back end processes in COBOL/Mainframe environments. I've been steering things towards Groovy or Ruby for new projects, largely using productivity as the justification.

There's a novel I read years ago that had a similar idea. It was a Clive Cussler book: The Mediterranean Caper. The smuggling plot had a modified submarine containing the narcotics attached to cargo vessels & it would detach from the

I've been that interviewee before and I was much the same. For me I realized it has to do with viewing the time spent in the interview as some kind of unspoken contract. You both felt good about the interview but you aren't accepting. Feels

Hah, my own anecdotal evidence has been in favor of smaller teams for the communications reason you cite. Probably a bit of a bad analogy but it made me think of 3 Unix processes vs 30. Way harder to manage IPC between 30 processes as oppos

Communication/Collaboration & ability to write elegant code are pretty symbiotic but I'd generally say it's harder to find someone who can elegantly design/code a system than it is to find people to talk about it(Reqs, specs etc).

That is the result of a environmental/social dice roll. Not even close to the same thing.

I'd argue all of those areas you list are far more likely to be improved over the course of a lifetime than sheer intelligence. Pure intellect is pretty much set at birth, or at the least the ability to improve it isn't statistically signif
