> Every flakey test is a production failure that really happens to some users sometimes. How often is just a matter of scale.

Not really, the one I’ve seen most often is a shared resource failing - for example a Gitlab Runner not handling a new VM for a DB so tests fail etc

Does anyone know if Onlyfans was rewritten in Elixir when it was acquired?

Same as Chinese SF, although they also have global collaboration saved by the Chinese people’s honour as a big plot line too.

In fact it’s the same as Chinese martial arts movies too. Anyone seen the Ip Man series?

I’ve used Project Eulers Problem 001 as an interview filter and more than one senior developer failed it… not surprised they don’t know what a map is too
Re:How to lose weight in 4 easy steps on Monday August 28, 2023 @02:31AM (#37290554)
I love the meme comparing how we try to lose weight vs how we make our dogs lose weight.

Humans: Keto, one meal a day, ozempic, HIIT CrossFit, macro counting, etc,

Dogs: Eat less, walk more

They built an interpreted language in C over a summer, I think they are beyond “getting into programming” - they’ve clearly been programming for years.
If it helps I would absolutely struggle to do this as a dev with 9 years experience. You’ll never totally shake imposter syndrome in a field where you can easily see such excellent projects routinely.

Hasn’t hurt me from finding interesting jobs that pay well!
