Programming as in “software engineering” - no. Because it isn’t about choosing the bext most probable word or pixel. At all.
It’s like a fire extinguisher that helps engineers manage the problems they created to begin with.
But also by the system that disconnects end user’s satisfaction (families with kids on spectrum in this case) from the profit.
In other words if users of those centers were part of the profit equation - PE would not be a problem at all. Am I right?
If so then the real evil are people who created and support such a system I guess.
Like those centers are going to be owned by someone one way or another - what is so special or bad about equity firms vs alternatives?
Genuine question. Because I don’t have a clue how this works in US.
The sooner they drown the better for everyone and the industry.
Today’s situation of developers shitting out software with low to none sense of quality would reach thanks to llms some critical tipping point some day.
And LLMs are not a good fit for most of the QA job. Because it’s mainly about actions (testing) rather than texts anf conversations.
Got it. You trust shallow youtube “celebrity” that nobody cares about and who is obviously biased towards his own set of beliefs, being a mormon.
Good luck
Show me other religion that taught to love your enemies and survived to these days at the same time. Just a tiny example of why you totally miss the point by not seeing how innovative was his ethical approach for that time. And yes, one of his great achievements is that he succeeded to make those simple and already existed ideas popular. This is novelty by itself.
mastering a tool doesn’t make you a better engineer, only better expert in a particular tool. And it is not the “next level”.
Next level is about getting a wider perspective and bigger picture view on your craft and your job.
On a conceptual/phylosophical level any decent book about building, engineering or designing any complex thing (preferably based on real events, not some made up boring fluff like “deadline” by Tom Demarco) would contain some gems.
I don’t know any single book that is full of gems.
To make this comment useful this is one of many examples, of a book that have couple of good ideas (about feedback system for example) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1501427.Managing_The_Des...
More like “many specific topics and areas covered in a set of books under same authors”.
Also Landau was one of the last (probably the last) polymath physicists who covered a wide range of fields.
I doubt it is even technically possible to cover even 30% of all modern theoretical physics in a single course with depth comparable to Landau books.
Unless you’re a professional driver - you’re in your right. We dont have to learn how to use UI made for people. If that’s the case we could just read where the fricking inlet is.
It’s the design that is bad
Idea maybe is great but implementation is so so if it’s not immediately obvious for many people
This perspective even though technically true yields nothing useful.
Most hires could have (and often do) been replaced by few alternatives in pipeline, and everyone of them would also be unique mix of same things.
Everyone is unique, but business doesn’t care about uniqueness, it cares about getting the job done in a predictable and profitable way.
You control your experience, resume and skills. But not “marketing” that was original point of this discussion.
It’s not to detect how smart you are. Leetcode screening is passed via memorizing patterns and masturbating for hours on sample tasks. It has nothing to do with smartness nor with real work.
Your assumption is wrong.
Leetcode is to filter in more disciplined and agreeable folks, who are ready to struggle through whatever meaningless bullshit company come up with. Its a loyalty filter mainly.
Originally it was intended to detect geniuses, but this is not relevant for 20 years now.
We are commodities. It doesn’t mean personal contacts don’t matter. Same way as you will likely buy a barrel of oil from someone you know rather than not. But there is no point in systemic markting efforts to promote your specific oil vs others of the same grade.
Business is not your mommy nor a nobel prize committee, it doesn’t care if you are smart or not. It only cares if you can execute your function good enough to justify your salary and get the project out of the door on time.
If 2 candidates are good enough - the cheapest wins.
Therefore there is no point in marketing yourself. Just learn to play by the rules (i.e. how to pass interviews, make up resumes etc) or get unique and extraordinary in your niche.
That’s exactly the point!
There is no _action_ towards the claimed goal that wouldn’t make the problem worse!
I know that both from personal experience and from years of observation of other people.
The only _action_ is to switch focus completely away from this problem to something more meaningful.
If I can’t take my esim away from a phone and plug it to another one as easy as physical sim - there is zero point in having this bullshit. Just link my cell plan to IMEI or something.
The only solution for these types of problems (aside of usual phychotherapy/physiology that you need to rule out first with help of professionals!) - is to genuinely stop giving a single damn whether you're alone or not.
Right after that moment you will become much much more attractive as a person. And you will release a ton of energy to focus on things that are more important (like your life goals etc).
But you can't fool yourself and pretend that you don't care while still being worried about the outcomes inside. It's not "fake it till you make it" type of inner game.
That is a key to your problem (after you solved main mommy/daddy issues if any with a decent therapist).
No amount of shallow "be yourself, be interested in others" advice will help until you have a foundation to be congruent in these tactical actions. But if you have that foundation that type of advice is mostly redundant.
Really, christians are to blame for what’s going on today in Israel??
80th level of dumb, congrats! :)))
> Christians love to claim these advancements for themselves
If you play the game of putting hanging all the dead dogs to christianity, it’s only fair to also attribute all the good achievements to it.
Otherwise it doesn’t look fair or logical, isn’t it? Though I doubt you know what logic is :) you just want to spread hatred
Ps: crusades were pretty symmetrical and reasonable response to arabic expansion and aggression back then. Also it wasn’t in any way unique or more cruel than countless other conflicts and wars throughout the history, there is nothing uniquely “Christian” about it.
