See? Nobody agrees with me here, even. The whole software dev business is a joke, really. You know, I believed harder than anyone for years and years. But the lack of true intellect on here and in the working world is an eye-opener. Yo

Nearly 100% of the scrum processes I was involved with at Fortune 500 companies were top-down mandates that could not be deviated from.

I've been hoping for a paradigm shift away from scrum for years! It was good for like 5 minutes after it replaced Waterfall and then it morphed into a freaking hellscape of grifters and non-techies invading the business space. It&#x2

Let me tell you something about Magic Kingdom: Everything between the parking lot and the rides exists the way it does in order to SLOW YOU DOWN so you spend more money. All of it! Okay, maybe not the parking lot trams, but all their oth

It's highly questionable whether she changed her personality at all. Why is being extraverted so highly praised, anyways?

But the malware was encoded as an image, how is it runnable on the target's smartphone?

I spent an excruciating 3 months or so learning about IPV6 in a college networking class circa 1994 so that I could be "current" in order to land a job right out of college.

The site that is really, insufferably toxic is LinkedIn.

Delusion. The only thing that will make dead Internet come back alive is another technological leap forward. Big Tech has total control.

How many days a year did Buffet live in that house, though? I suspect he was always on the move such that the home base never actually mattered. Same as Musk.

You wouldn't need the long blog post or any other efforts if you didn't work remotely (remote work is poison). Having kids is a personal choice, but so many of you are failing to understand why family is so important that maybe y

I get it, but the quality of headphones with cords has gotten so bad that the male jacks wouldn't last more than a few months. My son has gone through an untold number of corded headphones because his school iPad is too locked down to

There must be some axiom about how corporations will eliminate every form of useful removable media, making customers more beholden and enslaved.

I spent nearly 2 years at a major pharmacy chain trying to implement various solutions for them and going in circles. Meanwhile, the entire construction of Epic Universe in Orlando took place. I've moved from realist to cynic. In fa

I know!!!!!! I've been yelling about this for years how impossible to uplift JVM versions is because of how products were built! It's so crazy. Lots of obfuscated jars went unsupported after like Java 7.

Had my fill of both until I could not stand it anymore. So tired of the grifters--agile was sometimes good, but mostly a grift.

Wasn't it a riff on "Mojito" which was a popular drink at the time?

I used it mainly because the code I inherited was untestable as written. I made it testable via those methods. Then it got refactored.

I liked Groovy, but Kotlin was the better successor. Scala was beyond ridiculous as far as learning curve--crazy language. I always thought Java sucked and I spent far too much time working with Java (because money) and having to deal wit

Hey, fwiw, thank you for all of your hard work! Mockito and Powermock helped me be a big hero at one company I worked for 2011-2014. Before I arrived as a tech lead there, they had ZERO tests. The QA cycle was weeks, even months long. I

You are not allowed to decide how everyone else should live. But just for the sake of argument, take a trip to Montana and get back to me on how well universal EVs would work in much of the US. They're fine for urban and suburban are

Except most of them are just book smart (if that) and have little real-world experience.

It's because this site is inhabited by redditors who downvote comments such as yours for no other reason except to preserve the paper thin veneer of their superiority.

I would go further and say that the entire system is designed to not promote people. It is there as a barrier to promotion and upward potential. The upward moves are saved completely for the in-crowd people. I'm sure at places like

Did we learn anything useful or is it exactly as I said in the other thread, which got downvoted to hell, that all the really juicy blackmail material is with the CIA and will never see the light of day?

I guess, but there's a philosophy that goes something along the lines of: Government is not the answer to every problem. It's a very divisive issue, clearly. Technical people were never going to solve the problem of kids having
