I am now going to go down the rabbit hole of arm specific bugs in the libraries I use because so far all of the applications I dev (arm ubuntu) have never encountered any bugs. Yay free money!

I do agree, but it depends on the criticality of performance and the level of change the system goes through by default. For us we are always implementing complex new logic for not very many users, so there's not much benefit to some c

I do agree but too often they turn into "well I would do it this way". If it is some very big and very critical system then yes, code reviews can be beneficial compared to the alternative. But for systems that are innovative and r

Code should be judged by inputs and outputs only! I hate code reviews. We end up rewriting well-structured code anyway simply because it is always easier to rewrite than to do surgery

Spring and JSP. Just kidding. I sadly do not have enough exposure to the platforms you have listed, but wish you luck in clarifying the answer.

If you are not comfortable spending x amount of money on one of your interests (which is totally a valid feeling to have), then it is time to prioritize and innovate! Necessity is the mother of all invention.

When did I ever say any of these things? I specifically said that it is possible for someone to create a game like Dwarf Fortress without being the recepient of a PhD in Math. I never said that I knew better than the author, or that you nee

Appreciate this response :) Those who are actually out there building things are a bit too busy to pontificate here anymore

But why is it bad to react to a headline? It offered something interesting to consider.

You don't need a math phd to code it either, you just need skill and motivation. That might be correlated with having a phd, but it isn't mandatory. EDIT: I physically cannot comprehend how what I have said is somehow worthy of a

It's possible the monkeys might even write an AI that produces physical monkeys who then in turn produce AI!

This will take approximately eternity for difficult problems, such as management changing their mind every day.

With enough monkeys and typewriters, we don't need AI to go where we need to go.

I think this is an argument for less developers on a project, or at least more services owned by less developers.

Agreed, but it never should have been this complex in the first place :)

Why are you assuming that my wife tells me what to do?

Not sure I follow the logic, he got fired for trying. Simple solution is don't try, no? Ultimately you will lose in either situation, but one solution prolongs the paychecks.

I think what I've proposed is a short term micro-optimization where you can eek out a few more checks while you search for a place that supports your creative thinking

See the game theory on this says it wasn't worth it. Should have just laid low and continued to collect the pay checks while plotting your next move.

The only person this reflects on is you. My life has done nothing but improve since getting married.
