fbunauon GitHub, fuck your name change

My company changed our team name: "Black" to something else. just because .. really ? are we not allowed to use colors anymore ? Everyone on the team is white and european. I wasn't there when the team was named, but I think it had to do with rock cool factor, not slavery.

How do you get teams that have knowledge on a particular piece put in the work when it is not one of their goals / focusing on other things ?

fbunauon Both in rich and poor countries, universal health care brings huge benefits

In my country we do have single payer health care, but I wouldn't step foot into a state hospital unless I would have a terminal disease.

The infrastructure is old and crumbling, people get infections during operations and walk out more sick than they entered.

Sometimes you are asked to bring your own medicine, and basic medical supplies because hospitals don't provide you with anything. The system is overcrowded and no one gives a shit about you unless you bribe them.

I think the key-word is functioning universal health care.

While I do support paying for universal health care and think it is a basic necessity of a civilized country, you need a good culture and competent people to make it work.

I think a good culture makes shit work, not the process itself. (just like applying Scrum / Agile won't make you solve anything without the right people)

fbunauon End of the conference era?

To me conferences are more like concerts.

After you know all the albums and songs, you go there just so see the artist live

fbunauon Scala vs Go

The analysis is done from the perspective of an imperative programmer.

It's like someone writing Java-like Python code. When you write in Scala you completely change the way you write code, the whole paradigm.

This question could be asked Haskell vs Go, it would be the same IMO.

If you have chosen Scala, you don't choose it as a Java replacement, you choose it as a programming philosophy replacement

Edit: Picking on Scala for lack of network libs is like picking on Go for lack of Category theory libs
