Anyone with experience in 1C/tales of 1C? I've been curious about it since discovering it existed.

>I would love to, but my coworkers expect me to be synchronous. They do async, but I'm always supposed to be sync with five nines availability. Looks like it's time to go job-hunting again, but I hate job interviews. Dammit.

I hate interviewing too, but don't let that stop you! Learning to be great at things we avoid/dislike improves us as human beings. It is important to be happy with the work we do.

This is awesome! I feel inspired! :D

I'm not sure its "should I do this" but more "can I do this".

PL/SQL is really a powerful language and entirely capable of this. It is not a language who's power is best utilized for this -- it is a maze to encode (much) business logic within the DB.

Microservices and their infrastructure are shit to maintain on a small team. There is more overhead in that than monolithically designed software. The best use of microservices on a small team is for appropriate reusable services with low maintenance or almost no maintenance at all.

Does the employee deliver? That should be a yes/no answer. Micromanging employees minutes is an ineffective distraction to reaching that goal of delivery. The more autonomous each is while still moving in the direction of the common goal of the team, the more trusted they can be.

>I always thought MySpace ruined itself by allowing so much customization.

I've always viewed this as MySpace's top feature and the direction away from this is why MySpace failed. The name even implied it was a users space of personal creation. Tumblr sort-of did well with similar ideas, but to a lesser extent.

Delivery over elegance of delivery any day.

It means the underlying problem is not the tooling, but the use of the tooling.

In other words, "I can choose the correct tool but still fail from poor approach of problem."

>You probably have one open in another tab right now. Damn you, google.

In general if you don't keep up with the pace/trends, you will become out of touch. I would suggest this is for programmers that stop learning while they age.

>Remember Digg v 1.0 to 2.0 and how it made it sink?

I do -- Digg absolutely disappeared overnight. I almost forgot about it entirely but the phrase "digg it" reminded me of it.

This mass-ballooning has occurred in Australia from the spiders fear of drowning from heavy rains.

In theory, your idea sounds plausible :)

>People want to be successful. No one likes to lose. Even a freeloader is expressing that behavior because they believe that is the best way to win.

Perhaps a win for themselves personally. A freeloader is a selfish individual in team dynamics. They only want accolades/home runs for themselves, and not a World Series for the team.

Nostalgia?

>Understood as senior: Communication skills matter most.

I can't speak enough on this one. In our craft, The better one is at communication skills, the more effective their technical skills will be.

> ...but socio-ethical problems are way outside of my wheelhouse.

Ever more reason to go outside ones comfort zone.

>I type at 120wpm and having to slow all the way down to 30wpm on a phone stabs me to my very soul.

I feel your pain. I hate typing on phones; feels so inefficient. It is definitely good to not have the 50 tabs problem mobile too.

>I currently have 52 open tabs on my laptop and another 37 open on my desktop.

What about the second desktop?

>It might be nice to pass this information along to the agency to see if they'd be willing to convert all their forms.

If you see a way to, make them pay for it; there is money to be made.

I've heard very good things about this book, is it worth a read for a more seasoned dev?

huh-hah! I've already scalded off all my fingerprints!

Didn't know this was going on, but am now angry.

His book on Erlang was one of my first programming books I ever read. I didn't know of his passing until I saw this. :(

If you like Akka/Scala, definitely give Erlang a try.

I don't think using eval is the main problem he's trying to solve. Eval isn't really a good example of "dynamic programming done right". You don't even need eval to metaprogram in JS.

Seeing Metallica on HN makes me feel much more welcome :)

Yes, most Java IDEs tend to show the argument name in functions to get past this.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

It is, not the best title for releasing something imo.
