Last I checked Valve is a game company with a pretty flat org structure. They have their own problems but, last I checked most people like working there.

This is false. GH Enterprise, although the moneymaker, did not have a lot of devs on the project. Source: MS employee now works at GitHub

SQLite is so awesome. I love how python has a library built-in for it. That SQLite plus SQLAlchemy makes hackathon code so easy to port to another RDBMS after finishing the initial PoC. Also makes it super easy to run unittests; just load d

It sure is but, I believe the ultimate goal is to become an interplanetary species which would be pretty cool.

When discussing this with my friends, an interesting question came up: Who owns the music this produces? Couldn't one generate music and upload that to Spotify and get paid based off the number of listens?

That's funny b/c we have that in our EE version.

Fair point. Although one shouldn't discount statistics altogether. Security experts lean on skepticism to help minimize exposure and discover new things. Race and nationality aside, the transfer of ownership to an entity that has zero

I partially agree w/ you. One can always delete the test and then it's like you have no tests at all. > And then there's a number of issues with test coverage giving you a false sense of security, with things like reaching

I have. Worked at a large networking company that is rampant w/ low-skilled H-1Bs IMO.

Adding in to your point, it's really easy to get familiar with a codebase and be confident that there are no regressions when you make changes if there are comprehensive tests. Similarly, tests can serve as a device for asserting contr

Ooh that's interesting. I'm not surprised by how great their recommendations are; Facebook's AI research team is pretty top notch. I wonder what they're doing for recommendations.

I also agree w/ you on this one. I'd like OP to expand on why that's a red flag. Dockerization and using TypeScript seem pretty straightforward and logical additions to me. Also, if they're only additions, I wouldn'

This was the biggest con for me. Earning all of my gear in D1 then not having those available for import into D2 was really upsetting. The D1 weapons felt great. It's a shame Bungie keeps leaving gear they designed so far behind every

+1 to this. The pre-ordering based on my D1 experience really bit me hard.

I agree w/ this. They make insane promises but, the promises don't like up to expectations. Kinesis analytics for example, can aggregate data across a time window (sliding window) from a stream (Kinesis). A huge issue that isn&#x2

I agree, this is the situation in which OP has considered. However, depending on the stage of the project, getting asked for help may be a red flag for me. If it occurs too often, it can mean the following: - incompetent co-workers - someon

I disagree. Publish or perish includes time to triage issues, bugfixes, and new developer onboarding. If logging is fubar'd then all 3 of those are impacted. If you're pushing a PoC out the door. Sure, go on ahead and forgo proper

> It might not make money (I legitimately do not know) but it helps drive GCP adoption/usage, unlike code.google.com which didn't. Understandable considering that AWS has codecommit and MSFT owns github now.
