Kronen··on FTX bankruptcy examiner's report [pdf]
You didn't understand what he said at all and you are wrong. I ask you this... there are very different ethics and morals around the world, even many differences in ethics and morals between your home and your neighbors, so which ethics or morals should you have to be able to teach ethics and morals? The ones you have? lol

You can't compare Walmart to Amazon, Walmart is a northamerican thing, Amazon is global. Walmart has zero influence in the prices of the tomatoes grown in Europe.

Kronen··on Are software engineering “best practices” just developer preferences?
The second condition is a bit stupid, most failures or inappropriate functioning of the system in software development can be considered a harm in economic interests...
Kronen··on Are software engineering “best practices” just developer preferences?
We call Software Developers to coders and then, Consultant or Software Architect to the ones who design the systems. In between you have Analysts.

Any of them can be Software Engineers or not, because we call Software Engineers to the ones with the university career finished

> At the end of the day, you wind up in a lot of fairly pointless arguments about tech stack and coding conventions that 99.9% of the time don’t make a bit of difference to the final product.

99.9% of the time they do, maybe you don't see them functionally and visually, but probably you aren't measuring security flaws, performance and specially ease of maintenance which goes unnoticed most of the time...

Kronen··on If someone’s having to read your docs, it’s not “simple”
The real question and a better post than the original post would be: Are people living in the 21st Century too easily offended?

But it's a rhetorical question...

Kronen··on If someone’s having to read your docs, it’s not “simple”
This post is stupid and it's not the first time I've read something like this.

Of course it's easier now, layers and layers have been added over the years to make programming easier, simpler and for a wider audience. Almost any library is made to make a programmer's life easier and simpler, if you didn't have that library and had to fight directly with the underlying layer it would be an order of magnitude harder for you to do it.

So of course it's easier, because being easier or simpler doesn't mean anything if you don't take into account what you're comparing it to. In this case with the difficulty of what was there before this particular library was written.

The problem is that 30, 40, 50 years ago most of the programmers were smart people, engineers, the best of the best... Making programming simpler every year and for a wider audience has made people with no patience to want to be programmers, they want it all chewed up and they want it all now, instead of struggling with the code or documentation (if any) themselves, and they want to be programmers in a month.

If this is not the case then it's because "it's really hard", sorry but no, something that takes you less than a couple of years to learn to reach an intermediate level is not hard.

Kronen··on If someone’s having to read your docs, it’s not “simple”
There is a difference between documentation and tutorials.

People getting offended just because someone said something is easy and simple. Problems of the 21's century...
Kronen··on I no longer build software
I disagree, one of those intangibles is the easiness to learn, so most of the time you get paid less for working on boring or undesirable but easy to learn things like one CRUD app after another. And you get paid better for more difficult and interesting things, because there are less people able to do it.
Kronen··on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0
The lack of offer to rent areas are high rent areas
Kronen··on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0
"therefore landlords take that x% and call it cost of living" is even less convincing
Kronen··on Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0
Nice version 2.0 soon (tm). It should have been fixed with universal basic income long ago.

Kronen··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
I was not talking about me so your point makes no sense
Kronen··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
What you need to understand is that cultures are different, if I have a manager that doesn't get close to employees being friendly and joking even with black humour my co-workers are going to talk behind saying he is dull and unfriendly.

But probably you are american and you don't even get irony nor sarcasm, you see, a joke ;)

And my point still stands, in 21st century people is getting so easily offended like if we are all now mentally weaker.

Kronen··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
Don't generalize, not all people are mentally weak and get uncomfortable or offended that easily even when that's the trend in the 21st century.

A manager, like everyone else, should know who to make a joke to, and he will get closer to those employees.

Kronen··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
Not when you can get a better job in another place
Kronen··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
This is another example of the trend in the 21st Century, people being so easily offended.

Who the heck uses SMS for messaging in 2020, USA?
Kronen··on iMessage for Windows: A labor of love that will never see light of day (2018)
Yep, it absolutely depends on industries and countries, because 100% of developers I work with use Windows.
