the world would instantly become a better place, it isn't half as important as it likes to think it is

STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD CRAIG!

What about 'Smashing Security' and 'Darknet Diaries' ?

What a load of nonsense. Somehow in a 4 minute read the author (Social_Justice_Tech)has managed to fit in every form of information bias known alongside unattributed graphs and a picture of THAT guy from Google.

it's a good first choice; it introduces you to common concepts easily, it has a nice clear syntax and can be used in a range of paradigms (OO, FP, shell scripting).

"You many not have something to hide, but you have something to protect"

I listen to music all the time (my Spotify end-of-year stats are terrifying), but I think that's conducive to productivity rather than an impediment.

Podcasts are different however, I'm not sure I could listen to them in the same way

Can you explain why the certainty of 'It’s a fact that front-end development will be deprecated in a near future' ? I'm fairly certain it's 'a possibility', rather 'a fact'

As a language its falling out of favor I think, but there's nothing simpler than Sinatra in Ruby

except we're not talking about jet engines - I was asking at what point does basic become deep, hence the next remark referring to 'years of experience' as a benchmark

I don't think that's too bad though - I'd prefer them to clarify what they mean by 'deep' vs 'basic' understanding, but I certainly know a few developers with 3-5 years experience who could comfortably tick the box

you don't

I just say 'programmer', it's certainly easier than 'Someone burdened with inexhaustible curiosity'

point 3 is definitely the key here

Julia Evan's blog is excellent - https://jvns.ca/

It's network-focussed but covers plenty of other topics. The information is presented well, in quite easy-to-digest chunks, with loads of illustrations for the more abstract points

absolute rubbish, just perpetuating the same nonsense that requires all those social-engineerable "I've forgotten my password" features

that'll be the 'rapid response' unit leaping into action right there

pleased with the General Election result are we?

it does sound like they're insecure and are trying to 'show you your place'. I've been in a very similar situation, with an immediate manager not being from a tech background and received pretty much the same comments.

"We do not quite see the engineering world split into camps over what kinds of bridges are best. Other, more mature, disciplines realize that technical design decisions require a scientific process, and have evolved internal processes for handling conflicts and disputes."

Apparently Emin Gün Sirer has never heard of the browser wars or emacs vs vim, or any of the other tribalistic divisions that have happened in the software engineering field - division and 'picking a side' are very common occurrences.
