this is interesting. in my experience it is always the third situation. they try to migrate the data slowly from "old system" to "nexgen". it never works. it sounds like maybe the answer is do a big bang switch over to t

couple of points. building software is so far from building a house that's not really worth comparing. (just bringing this up because the analogy is used quite a lot). second, the signatories on the agile manifesto may have done some m

test driven development has been around since the late 90s and was popularised in eXtreme Programming circles, are you sure it's a fad? I find it the most efficient way to write code and keep it running in the long term personally.

well we're already being trained by algorithms so I guess this is just an extension of what is already going on. perhaps the quality of human (internal) models will go down too? perhaps they already have?

I tend to agree, however it took learning about git internals to get to this point. Most developers don't read stuff like that. Also git creators made the mistake of using terms like add and checkout to mean completely different things

I'd use mastodon more, but the people I want to follow are all on twitter, is there an easy way of forwarding tweets from twitter to mastodon, or setting up an account that follows twitter users?

over the years, i've learnt that learning to work with vanilla vim commands is the best way to go. any editing plugin feature is just an extra command character or two away if you know the basics very well. this means i am instantly pr

thanks I've been looking for something like this. once you understand the cmd-tab, cmd-` behaviour from macos, you realize microsoft made the wrong ui decision with their alt-tab.

then the axioms themselves can be argued until a conclusion is reached, otherwise debate can be suspended. the underlying axiom here is that debate can be had, and that people can be convinced through reason.

the decision will be made through rational argument. if you are not willing to debate or argue then your position is forfeit (I.E. you are the one with the intolerant philosophy).

the fact that GP is complaining about it may be an indication. by hiring good people who see the structural problems and work around them works. you can brute force work around poor management and a bad structure. Edit: you can see this exp

I've noticed quite a few very unproductive workers, send emails and pretend they are working at 11pm kind of hours. Worker output is the only thing that matters. The problem is in our field how do we measure this?

Not a course but I believe Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning by A.D. Aleksandrov, A.N. Kolmogorov , M.A. Lavrent'ev may cover this in book form. (FWIW I have not read this, but intend to at some point)
