ajankovic··on Go channels are bad (2016)
I don't think you examined the code in full. main spawns 10 go routines that are constantly sending player scores to the game. That means 10 different players are sending their scores concurrently until someone reaches score of 100.
ajankovic··on Problems with Go channels (2016)
I had time to spare so I toyed with the example exercise. Now I am not sure if I misunderstood something because solution is fairly simple using only channels: https://go.dev/play/p/tD8cWdKfkKW
ajankovic··on What's Salesforce?
Take a look at https://bluecanvas.io/ it might help you with some of that.
ajankovic··on How to Be Successful
"Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value." - Albert Einstein
ajankovic··on Ask HN: What is your best advice for a junior software developer?
Pretty much this. Get hold of your ego and be humble enough to take lessons from experienced people who have track record of delivering successful projects. It is imperative to get the basics right before being able to take on more responsibility later.

    "We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training."
Make sure you get as much training as possible before raising your expectations. It will be easier for you later when business expects senior output from you but you are under constant pressure on both personal and professional fields.
ajankovic··on Ask HN: What are the best textbooks in your field of expertise?
I was more thinking about language agnostic approaches for big enterprise projects.
ajankovic··on Ask HN: What are the best textbooks in your field of expertise?
Can anyone recommend a book that you would use as the guide for building a new software project from scratch? Like something that would provide good overall structural approach and best practices. The goal would be to end with as least amount of tech debt and codebase flexible enough to stand the test of time?
ajankovic··on What Comes After SaaS?
An interesting read but this kind of predictions don't work "in advance". Usually it's needed for some market player that is still unknown to show up first. That player will then serve as an example and solidify the argument. To know/feel what SaaS 2.0 is, in advance, would mean that you are the one driving it. SaaS 2.0 is not here yet.
ajankovic··on The Founder: A Dystopian Business Simulator
No it's just that you are not hiring enough. You have to put employees with high marketing skill on it. I was able to repel 3 lawsuits without issue.
ajankovic··on The Frozen Banana Republic (2014)
Hacker News, a place where you have to say sorry before delivering a joke.
ajankovic··on Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S.
I think this video explains your observations correctly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs
ajankovic··on Ask HN: What's your favorite tech talk?
I like this one because it's a good reality check: Opening Keynote: Greg Young - Stop Over-Engenering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRr4xeMn1uU
ajankovic··on What goes wrong in the brain chemistry of a gambling addict?
I hate gambling but observing some recent changes in my behaviour this sentence strike a chord:

> The high is in expecting an outcome, desiring it, imagining it, not in its fulfillment.

I am staring at unfinished side projects of mine and they are staring back at me.

ajankovic··on Want to end mass incarceration? Stop blindly reelecting your local prosecutor
Well I live in a country with non-elected attorneys and they become marionettes of the politicians quickly. As long as they do as the regime is saying they will be there and they don't care.
ajankovic··on Network programming with Go (2012)
What resources on security would you recommend for developers that are not specializing in security?

There are a lot of land mines of misinformation on the Internet today.

ajankovic··on Linus Torvalds still wants Linux to take over the desktop
Topic is Desktop computers. Not Development computers. Users of Desktop computers have specific requirements not necessary related to the development. Ignoring their requirements would definitely not allow you to take over the desktop.

> this place should not be named "hacker News"

Well couldn't you be a "hacker" in terms of UX, product design and other things as well?

ajankovic··on In a nutshell, why do a lot of developers dislike Agile?
It's not just developers. My friend works in the sales department and he hates it. Every functional request that he make has to go through the usual "agile" process and it's just blocked by the weeks of sprints that are trying to keep up with the increasing backlog.

Some of those requests are very important and will benefit with actual real monetary results, but he has to personally escalate it through hierarchy and force dev team to break their sprint rules and force them to work on it.

In other words he has to make them be agile by force.

ajankovic··on Stripe Atlas
I am also interested in this.
ajankovic··on When to join a startup
Or sarcastic.
ajankovic··on 0 A.D.: A free, open-source game of ancient warfare
It's very playable. There is only one ruining problem, as the game progress and number of objects on the map increases, game becomes ultra slow. Like one frame in 10 seconds.
ajankovic··on Reviewing Steve Yegge's Prediction Record
I think it was meant as supportive argument to "popularity contest". So that statement is probably sarcastic in nature.
ajankovic··on Do we need browsers?
As soon as the author started explaining problems about browsers I started thinking about solutions. And I realised that "we" already tried to solve this problem with plugins. Flash, Java applets, Silverlight, etc. were all envisioned as solutions to these problems. And it doesn't take too much brain to realise they all failed (at least in the popularity contest).

Restful nature of the Web is giving good structure on which to build and time shows that evolution, instead of forcing one good solution, is much better way for technology adoption when it comes to the masses.

ajankovic··on Singleton Pattern in Go
But in that case config values are to be treated as constants (read only). You don't have concurrency issues for code that doesn't change.
ajankovic··on Ask HN: Are top developers just guessing?
> In short: what you do is part of a larger context, you need to align your priorities with that.

Let me just point out that this is the hardest part of being the professional. Reasons for this are many. One example is that larger context can be obscure to you due to bad company organization/management.

ajankovic··on How to Speak Startup
^ A classic example of ad hominem.
ajankovic··on How the Economic Machine Works (2014)
> Even Elon Musk as hard working as he is cannot achieve his level of income off of his own productivity alone.

Elon has specific role in "production". If his work/energy/decisions are going to spawn new factory, new technology or new product that is going to improve productivity of millions then by all means his income is justified by his productivity.

> Printing money causes inflation under all cases unless money is literally destroyed at the same rate it is printed.

This is not true. Emphasis on "all cases". If you create money at exactly the same rate as the economy's produce grows than money has it's background in actual "things" that have value.

As for other arguments I think author was trying to convey very complex subject in 30 minutes of video. Of course there will be certain generalizations so he can better convey the message.

ajankovic··on Falcon is a high-performance Python Web framework
I think you are missing the point of the parent comment. He is trying to convey similar message as you are. The difference is he is not being a jerk about it.
ajankovic··on Merry Christmas to HN
Срећан Божић!
ajankovic··on Ask HN: What do you need that you'd pay a lot for?
There are existing services that provide services similar to what you request. Just Google for "track your competitors".

Is there anything specific that you need that current services don't provide?

ajankovic··on Ask HN: What small webapps do you know that have a large audience?
What technique do they use to obtain "Internal IP"?
