This is what I thought as well. How is this still so popular if it has such fundemental flaws? With the increasing power of LLM, more vulnerabilities will definitely surface sooner or later.

I agree Agile steers a team towards hastily bodged together code.

The abstraction is the standard case and should invite custom behaviour to be added dynamically. This extra behaviour should be added by the caller / user of the abstraction.

Especially in a CRUD situation, every custom procedure will probably have a few basic steps that stay the same. All you usually need is a pre and a post hook.

>just happened to be the same >MUST be the same

This difference is something important to stress.

You mean "Start Menu"?
I don't think it works like that. Letters are shapes but keys just are a relative position. The software is reading gestures, specific keypress motions seems much less data to work with.
China has big pharma too and they pivoted from authoritarian socialism to authoritarian capitalism, they're just making money now and don't care about their poor any more.

I think it's a bit more complicated. We just arrived a little while ago in late-stage capitalism (around 2007 I reckon?), so now looking forward it's either revolution or back to feudalism.
There will be (and is) some movement, but it's mostly around the middle class. Up and down.

Poor people can't get in and fat cats dominate so the more you zoom out the more you're right.

The oppurtunity was never equal. It's directly related to net worth which is one of the most unequal things we have.

That's a really cool article. The wording could be a lot simpler but the important part is that it does not abstract the concepts. They don't need to be abstracted because they are really simple. Situations can become very complex, especially when someone does not know what they are doing. Developers need to learn the priciples without lies and overzealous simplifications. If you know what's going on it's a lot more doable to not end up in a super complex situation, but not a lot of people have a really good explanation of git even if they understand it very well themselves.
It's not expensive because of nurse wages. It's expensive because of top manager wages, dividents and bonusses.

One of them should fork it on their personal account and work on it during bussiness hours. No liability and all the benefits. Don't tell legal obviously.

A good carpenter never complains about his tools. He works around their limitations or uses something else.

The quality of the product is down to the skill of the worker either way.

First sensible post on this topic. All others talk about the content like the premise rings true, but Apple will never do stuff like that, same as how the current tech giants don't have a place in this world post capitalism.
Google maps is actually bloody good at just being a map. It's extremely convenient to zoom in and out, click around, view locations, add them to your route, etc. Yes you can up the productivity by using more tabs and that is the standard nowadays because we humans are being trained to be multitasking monsters. Forgive me for ending my read there because to me it just sounds like a rant from a bitter old person that doesn't understand this brave new world any more.

Re:Climbing the Wealth Ladder on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @11:48AM (#21815410)
You have completely missed the point. The fact that you could does not mean you shoud or even would.

Wanting a cabin in the woods and being able to afford it does not make you "House freedom level". That level is being able to buy any house you could want without second thought.

The fact that you would not choose such a house is completely irrelevant to this train of thought. Some things you have to plan out and some things are just not worth to consider for even a second.

Very much this. If the management culture at your workplace is so sick they feel the need to make this behaviour a problem, there are probably other things wrong with the culture there.

Normal people want things that look cool and can be made with minimal effort. Some people can afford to stay in an abstract backend world without ever presenting anything to non developer people, but I think most of us live in the real world and use modern computers so they'd rather have the cpu run a few more cycles than having to think about the details themselves.
Compare a US state to a EU nation and the differences are not insurmountable.
