Similarly, in my typing class, they'd have you type the same paragraph a few times. The program didn't notice copy and paste.

Windshield wipers were invented by a woman.

Automatic elevator doors were invented by a Black man.

Alan Turning.

But tell me again how diverse people don't make successful products?

100%. You wouldn't hire right-wing "celebs" internally and to the board if you just want your own posts to do better.

The things that make me a good programmer:

  1. I read error messages
  2. I put those errors in Google
  3. I read the results that come up

Even among my peers, that gives me a leg up apparently.

 

My current team runs weekly retrospectives using the Lean Coffee format. More and more, I find that the items people are bringing up aren't really important or could just be a question in Slack.

For example, someone recently made a topic for how we can test credit card payments. Another topic was navel gazing about how we use Jira and multiple team members asked "what's the problem you're hoping to solve?" to which the only answer was "That's not what I've seen elsewhere".

I'm beginning to think that there's something wrong with our format or prompts, in that we aren't identifying important issues for discussion. Perhaps the format is stale or there's no serious issues lingering each week?

Any advice on alternative formats, how to get better feedback, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

 

This guide isn't a "what not to buy" list. It acknowledges that no internet-connected toy can be entirely child proof because tech companies have yet to prioritize children's safety in their designs.

These people don't even read their own literature. The Catholic church's ban on alchemy is about falsely claiming something is a valuable metal in order to pay for debts. It has nothing to do with the occult -- the ban was because it's a sin to lie / cheat / steal. A saint is even on record saying that alchemical gold is ok if the end if product is real gold.

With that context, of course God doesn't give a shit if you use SQLAlchemy as long as you aren't using it to defraud people. If you were defrauding people, it wouldn't matter what tool you used.

As someone else mentioned, they had to rename due to legal concerns over trademarks. If people start abandoning Terraform for this alternative, Hashicorp will look for any reason to sue.

Please don't say the new language you're being asked to learn is "unintuitive". That's just a rude word for "not yet familiar to me".

Yeah. I've written in six or so different languages and am using Go now for the first time. Even then, I'm trying to be optimistic and acknowledge things are just different or annoying for me. It doesn't mean anything is wrong with the language.
