A green test does not equal bug free code. There may be a misimplementation / misunderstanding of the spec or your code passes beautifully under right conditions, with just this data setup.
As soon as we mix up biological age with intelligence and wisdom we end up seeing problems where there is none. There are mature people and immature people and everything in between. Maturity does not correlate with biological age.
Even worse is having been through the enlightenment and then witnessing people talk about Javascript or Scala like it is still 1990. You just want to yell to them "You're all living in a cave!"
we are decades past that point. The biodiversity in national parks that have existed for longer are completely different to what an average person considers wilderness.
As a polyglot dev with experience in JS, Python, Scala, Clojure, Java to name a few, Clojure is hands down in another league compared to all the rest. My experience is with Clojure is my productivity is a magnitude higher next to others. The REPL and instant feedback alone propel develoment velocity and developer satisfaction so far out there there is just no contest.
There is simply no contest on acceleration, ease of use and cost of ownership. In Europe gas prices alone should kick over the transition to EVs. Currently only basic emotions and resistance to change are holding back a flood.
Human behaviour (in numbers) being like that of herd animals it only takes a few neighbors to trigger the avalanche.
my number one meter is sleep quality. Two burnouts after this is the most reliable metric. Two nights of poor sleep is serious, very serious. I've learned to take action to prevent prolonged stress, even changing gigs with my dream stack but sky high stress.
I'd rather be unemployed living in a tent than going through burnout recovery ever again.
100% merino wool hiking/running socks are perfect for hot and humid. I've ran +20 hour ultramarathons in hot conditions with them. They are much better than cotton. Plastic socks are good for 1 hour gym sessions.
what if .. the story of there being a god separate from you is just a story. The nondual or advaita insight is that you are divine already, just pretending not to be. It goes deeper than that and should not be made another story but experienced yourself first. This was my own path to unshakeable faith, by own experience with the help of teachings and meditation as the beginning.
functions. Macros are a super weapon and their use is reserved for very special cases.
One reason is macros can't be composed as functions and also readability goes out the windows.
it will get worse. Governments choose to fight the people instead of changing their agenda of driving us towards extinction. Expect Extinction Rebellion to grow fiercely and protests to expand all over the planet.
Spotting a junior dev working over their capacity is the responsibility of seniors to tell them to take it easy. Remember how they (and yourself) worked you to the bone and how it would have helped if someone would have stepped in early.
You can't save them all but you can atleast give the message that their situation is seen and recognized.
Then when the deadline does whoosh by - nothing changes and the sun rises just as always. It turns out very many deadlines are not in fact hard, they were just thrown on the table in some meeting and everybody starts to act like it is the end of the world if that date is passed.
Did it result in burnouts?
I was part of such a mess and two out of four team members got burnout, myself one of them.
It did teach me to get the fuck out early the next time I feel the same emotions of inadequacy and pressure on me. And in the very next project after a very sudden ramp up of backlog and increased pressure I looked in the mirror and got out, cleanly and without burnout or bad feelings.
