I did not mean literal you neither. If “you” (the machine) are so smart, then you don’t need information exchange with “others”, so no need for “trust”

Then why would you need this information exchange at all?

I’m talking about using debuggers not even to debug, but to familiarize yourself with the codebase and gain general understanding. Measure of progress for me is formulating and answering questions. Sometimes trying to answer a question lead

Using the debugger to understand/read code is invaluable. Seeing live stacks is so powerful compared to static analysis.

Ok, this article inspired some positivity in my view. Here comes, of course a disclaimer that this is just "wishful thinking", but still. So we are in the process of "adapting a technology". Welcome, keep calm, observe,

I couple of years ago I would ask to collect your coworker’s garbage bin :) Not as easy to find in my vicinity, at least good ones, which is of course true for any language and profession in general. I have RoR on my resume and very fond of

For me the title is a bit of a contradiction: I always think about the library as “the final language”. So author’s example of RoR/Ruby is “RoR is a great web service language that uses Ruby as the base, they evolved together and argu

The most fun on this site is solving a problem and then having your mind blown by solutions in Apl/j/k and trying to guess what they mean without knowing anything about those languages

You mean that they don’t have access to whole opponent behavior? It would be hilaroius to allow table talk and see them trying to bluff and sway each other :D

can you provide more context for this claim? my intuition and experience tells me the opposite. what is the definition here? are impulsive avoidance copings like playing a video game instead of doing the hard work of addressing the worries

there certainly is if you consider 50 moves rule. And you can derive an easy upper bound from that as 50x8x8x2 (basically each 50 moves you make a pawn move) if you only consider 3 moves repetition and not 50 move rule then this is harder a

The whole possibility of it. If you put yourself in a position “one foot from success”, then you will be able to devalue any achievement this way. If you see from the point of “empty universe”, you will see magic everywhere. This is the rea

I view this process like this: code review is a communication tool: you can discuss concrete decisions vs hand waving and explaining in the conceptual space, which of course has its place, but is limited. But writing the whole working code

Haha, nice! My head as a programmer explodes while reading this list, because I feel like these are all reasonable assumptions and I feel how they are painfully discovered late into the implementation. Also, feeling myself stupid very quick

There is a lot of truth in what you’re saying I believe. At least, in the “cadence of work”. They say in the article about consistent productivity for example. But lets think about consistency and quantitative productivity (ie amount of wor
