mightyRodri··on Using a framework will harm the maintenance of your software
> Instead looking at the problem and find the easiest solution to it offers great time to marked.

The easiest solution you can imagine. These are 90% of the time cute tricks that narrow down the scope of the solution so far it makes the surrounding code unmaintainable after a year.

I learned to call those people "Ricks" they are best used in walled of projects that are not expected to change. Not useable in cooperation.

Hopefully. But not necessarily. This argument is spinning in circles. In house projects can be abandoned just as oppen-source ones can. For me that was Powermock for example.

Then your architect needs a fresh course in how to decide what open source project to use. When its a critical spot you first check how it is maintained. Its that easy.
mightyRodri··on The Ethereum merge is done
Have you seen the "Line goes up" summary by Dan Olson? It puts the crypto sphere into context. From that many descisions and marketing practices start to make sense.
mightyRodri··on The Ethereum merge is done
I wouldnt worry, the whole system up to this point has used "technobabble" as a means to confuse and impress outsiders. When reading up on it, there is no meaning to find besides "yep, its a linked list allright".

(albeit with some compromises)
mightyRodri··on Public Money, Public Code
So much this. I am not one to be proud of the place i happened to be born but this effort gave me some hope for the gov software sector.
mightyRodri··on Blockchain Is Dangerous Nonsense
Because only the crypto scams use blockchain for their marketing.
mightyRodri··on Blockchain Is Dangerous Nonsense
There is no baby. The technology does not solve technical problems that havent been solved better. The only thing bchains does is give ppl with a lot of money to become stakeholders, the possibility to comodify even more parts of the internet. Thats the only upside of the technology, scam ppl for their money.

mightyRodri··on How did I get so unhappy working in tech?
I feel the same, the dayli meetings are super important for fast iteration. Sayinf you dont need those is implying there is no outside input that yould improve your work. Wich is only true when your task is so sepperated from everyone that you could effectively get your own one man team.

there is no "official" client, thats the whole idea.
mightyRodri··on How my genius roommate changed my perspective
I mean, when I am allowed to just take the seats out of my neighbours Porsche I can get myself a nice chair. That doesnt make it genius o.O

Finding the debris in that forest might result in a nice Sword I rekon.
mightyRodri··on What defines a great company culture?
"helps avoid politics" thats how we got where fb is now
mightyRodri··on CutiePi – A Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
I like this function on google devices to spark memories of old travel trips.

Without the Lena photo the side would be even cooler ;). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41565-018-0337-2

mightyRodri··on A second look at "no code" tools (2019)
That sounds like the trite old University Professor that says to 4/5ths of their students that didnt get an A: "You lack the passion and maybe you are not made for this".

@murukesh_s post wrote the retourt to that. Pointers and Windows had a substantial impact on shaping the reality we live in now. Putting all the responsibillity on the users shoulders and their "intelligence in math" is way to ego focused IMO.

mightyRodri··on Honoring Your Craft – An alternative to the Four Hour Work Week mindset
Musk is only the epitome of being borne rich and having the backup financial support to tryout ideas that might fail. Other ppl get one shot.
mightyRodri··on Face masks considerably reduce Covid-19 cases in Germany
One dozen != 100. Germany is seeing a flattening curve right now after the last countys have enforced masks in the workplace.

Are you implying the measures are to purposefully infect risk groups?
