When was the last time you saw profitability increase, even remain stagnant, when demand declined? Let's be real. If demand for meat declines, producers will have to double down on "factories" in order to remain solvent.

Excel is the best first language if you just want a world full of computer programmers. But there is an implicit context here around those who want to program alongside the professionals. That comes with wanting some deeper understanding of

Yes, you bring up a good point about the other practical issue with adopting Agile. It says that the developers and the business people need to work together daily, as becomes necessary when there isn't a manager to act as the go-betwe

Not really. The application doesn't care. Hell, many of these modern serverless frameworks are built so that they can run both server and serverless from the very same codebase, so it is likely you can take the same code built to run o

For all intents and purposes, when is the hardware not fully abstracted away? Even through the 2010s when running as a server was the norm, for the most part you could throw the same code onto basically any hardware without a second thought

To be relevant usually speaks to some kind of broad social impact or defining of a culture. You might argue Green Day did that back in the day, but do they really continue to? A lot of people willing to pay to be entertained by their perfor

How are you going to run on X11 systems if you have ruled out making IPC calls to a separate process in order to put together a GUI? Anyway, the primary advantages of the separate process you speak of is that it: 1. Deals with the LGPL conc

Unit tests are for documenting the API contract for the user. You are going to target based on what you are willing to forevermore commit to for those who will use what you have created. Indeed, what happens when two messages come in with t

Your documentation will tell when you need an abstraction. Where there is something relevant to document, there is a relevant abstraction. If its not worth documenting, it is not worth abstracting. Of course, the hard part is determining wh

Why's that? Uncle Bob seems pretty clear that most of your code should be free of side effects, and that necessary state mutation should be isolated to one place. Carmack is saying the same thing.

Some teenagers trying to become the next TV star is not the same as them using social media. Social media is not defined by text, but it is defined by community. TikTok, and increasingly Instagram (and even, more and more, Facebook), has no

TikTok is not social media. It is cable TV. Instagram, being quite old at this point, still has some vestiges of social media to keep the older people who started using it decades ago happy, but it too is moving towards the cable TV model a

Do teens even use social media? I am under the impression that they are all about what is effectively cable TV. That is what the hip-and-with it services provide, and what the boomer social media platforms are more and more clamouring to be

There is no objective measure of what makes a tyrant. If one comes across as a tyrant, they are a tyrant! You did say, as interpreted by the reader, that his poor communication skills makes him come across as a tyrant, and therefore that is
