I’d say it’s easier to tell in the US as cities and towns tend to be heavily divided into class-based areas. Not to mention people in general are far more comfortable “showing off” their financial status. Finland is a lot more homogenous in

I'd say this is mostly due to the fact that building software in many companies is largely a social activity, and there's an interesting intersection of personalities and motivation that ultimately disincentivizes building good qu

I love that first point and I wish it was something that was applied even further to other pieces of data - integers and floats are intended for mathematical operations and so to make database row identifiers integers always seemed strange

Doesn’t it kinda depend on the problem at hand? Or maybe I misunderstand what a design pattern is.

If it was .orElseReturn404 then yeah. My point is HTTP codes have no place outside of HTTP endpoints

What does the object have to do with http status codes? It completely entangles the HTTP layer with the database model.

I think most senior or experienced Python developers tend to steer clear of Django. It's just that you don't hear about it because it's mostly junior / less experienced developers writing about Django online. edit: havin

I worked alongside many consultants in Canberra in mostly government agencies and there were a lot of solutions architects and project managers earning roughly $120 an hour pre-tax. The catch was you need to be a citizen obviously to get ev

It seems like your mind is already made up, but in any case: https://rednose.org.au/article/Co-sleeping_with_your_baby (Australian non-profit raising awareness against SIDS) https://raisingchildren.net.au&#x

I quit somewhere after a week. Basically it wasn’t what was advertised (job was supposed to be Python backend but was mainly maintaining Ansible scripts) and the turnover on the team was astonishing. The pair that interviewed me had both q

Been there. It's time to find a more challenging role!

It's the classic HN echo chamber. It's the same people that say nobody uses Amazon anymore, Google search doesn't work, everybody codes in Clojure now etc. etc.

I'm sure if they just explain it like that, it'll bode well

>- don't choose lazy pluralization - eg instead of `names/name`, use `nameList/nameItem` Isn't this just extra noise? If the type of the variable is an Array wouldn't `nameArray` be superfluous? Worse still is if

I suppose there's not many other ways to incentivise people in America other than offering them money. Seems like simply informing for the overall benefit of society wouldn't be incentive enough ...

Worst case is a junior who has read all the books but done none of the work so they end up parroting the talking points without being able to back them up or explain why.

Clean Code has some truly awful and aged code examples (the prime number generator for instance) and constantly ignores its own advice particularly around avoiding side effects and “single purpose” functions. Working Effectively with Legac

Yikes. Please don’t co-sleep. Sure, you might get to sleep but one of you may not make it through the night.

Assuming you have a job already what skills do you feel are lacking that you could brush up on? IMO it makes little sense to pick up on tech for the sake of trends or popularity unless it helps with either finding a job or being more effect

Yeah I suspect your latter point is very much the case and part of my point. I guess it was an interesting tradeoff they made early on that seems to have paid off. I just wonder what the development experience is like…

Has anyone actually really noticed the performance of Stack Overflow? It feels like your average website before the JS bloat took over most “forum” style sites. I wonder if they’ve traded off performance (and by the sounds of it, maintaina
