Slay dragons. Don’t worship them.

Republicans healthcare policy continues to be, “Hurry up and die”

Says the one that missed mine. We know what they are, trash. Doesn’t matter you or they accept it.

Hate movements do not have the nuance you imagine them to have.

Russia, for example.

We do know them. They are mostly stupid. They are mean. They are all trash.

Some of them may not have been these things but if I have a garbage can and someone throws a perfectly good apple into, that apple is now trash.

One can remove the apple and culture the bacteria to prove it.

There is no reason to get to know the trash, it won’t stop being trash because I have further refined all of the smells and rot involved.

If getting to know trash was possible we wouldn’t be were we are. The left has been attempting to understand for decades and it has only lead to the bacteria and rot infecting the democratic party to the point where calls for a new leftist party are increasing with each cycle.

But he was on a tv show!

A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.

There was a time when the same could be said about slavery. People’s lives depended on slavery and they couldn’t imagine an economy without it and yet here we are.

No one should own a person and no one should own an idea.

The only industry whose profits need to be guaranteed by laws.

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.”

I assure you, I put no effort into being an internet fuckwad.

50/50 chance they believe you.

This is not science.

They are misrepresenting the reality of this site and making a mystery of out of what has already been studied and understood.

Don’t. Terribly over rated movie.

Hadn’t heard about this campaign until now. Thanks for spreading the message via this rage bait.

Hail, dairy!

It would be easier to record than upload. Since upload requires at least a decode steps. Given the fleeting nature of existence how does one confirm the decoding? This also requires we create a simulated brain, which seems more difficult and resource intensive than forming a new biological brain remotely connected to your nervous system inputs.

Recording all inputs in real time and play them back across a blank nervous system will create an active copy. The inputs can be saved so they can be played back later in case of clone failure. As long as the inputs are record until the moment of death, the copy will be you minus the death so you wouldn’t be aware you’re a copy. Attach it to fresh body and off you go.

Failure mode would take your literal lifetime to reform your consciousness but what’s a couple decades to an immortal.

We already have the program to create new brains. It’s in our DNA. A true senior developer knows better than to try and replicate black box code that’s been executing fine. We don’t even understand consciousness enough to pretend we’re going to add new features so why waste the effort creating a parallel system of a black box.

Scheduled reboots of a black box system is common practice. Why pretend we’re capable of skipping steps.

I agree.

One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.

I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.

The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.
