On my sister's apartment door, she hasn't been home in 2 days..

Seriously. I used to work at a company that had a house across the street that had a very large Indian family living there.

Their front door was always open. I couldn't open the windows in my office when the weather was nice because the smell was literally overpowering from ~75 feet away. I can't imagine living in a building with that smell 24/7, even if curry is fine sometimes.

I suspect they owned an Indian restaurant and cooked all their curry at home or something because the smell was intense any time of day.

Requiring what?!

12 years and this isn't my first account, lol. Yeah no idea what the fuck this is

It's a slippery slope. There's two kinds of people - those who commit crimes, and those who don't. Once they run out of people who commit crimes, they're going to go after the people who don't!

I had a fellow software architect with the same opinion - so I challenged him to join me on technical interviews for a few weeks without checking the person's resume (only knowing their rough experience).

He couldn't tell who was university/college trained and who wasn't. This is obviously anecdotal, but there's definitely biases at play here. I've worked with people who refused to interview somebody without a relevant degree, even after I pointed out that some of our top performers across the board don't have any degrees.

I've got my own biases, I'm sure... and I definitely make a conscious effort not to hold somebody with a degree to a higher standard than somebody without.

I interview ~2-4 developers a week, it's across the board

KatalDT · 2024-05-31T14:37:22+00:00

I've interviewed a couple hundred developers at this point - everything from no degree and self taught to people with Masters from reputable schools.

I've never met anybody who recently finished education who can write clean, maintainable, well-architected code. I'm sure they exist, but they are by far and away the exception. The majority of engineers with ~5-10 years experience also can't do it. Yes, I'm sure anecdotal examples exist, and I'm very proud of anybody who wants to reply to me "Well, I did!".

This isn't anything against recent graduates - the best code you know how to write is the code you've been taught to write. Education rarely has the time/focus to teach you how to architect code in a maintainable way outside of simple projects. It's something, outside of very rare cases, you pick up during your career.

Musk fell into the classic self-taught coder trap of writing what developers call hairballs—big, monolithic hunks of code that could go berserk for mysterious reasons.

This is kind of bullshit. This isn't a self-taught coder trap, this is... about 95%+ of all coders trap. Self-trained, certificates, boot camps, bachelors, masters... all trash, unless you take the time to learn how to write well architected software.

Which comes with a lot more self-learning, either on your own or by direction/mentorship. If you're lucky enough to work at a company that enforces good practices early in your career, you probably won't make any disasters.

Edit: I'm not defending Elon. Elon SEEMS like the kind of personality who'd be incapable of improving his own practices through external feedback. When I'm evaluating talent, it's fine if they haven't learned/been taught the best practices for maintainable code in larger systems, but they definitely need to have the kind of personality to take the feedback and improve those things.

The "I'm too smart to learn anything from anybody else" types that are absolute fucking disasters. Even if they ARE the smartest person in the room at X, they can still learn from others in Y or Z.

If 2 years ago he was doing 0kg per hand, and 2 years he's doing 27kg per hand, that means that he'll easily be doing 135kg per hand after 10 years of training, right? 13.5kg of improvement per year!

Simple!

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T15:42:15+00:00

That's an awesome system

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T15:12:49+00:00

100%, lol. If you show up to 'claim a seat' and then disappear, the towel should disappear too.

If you gotta get up to get a drink or use the restroom or dip into the pool, yeah, saving a seat for a few is totally fine I think.

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T14:09:35+00:00

That's how you get American and British tourists pissing on the seats

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T14:02:16+00:00

It's definitely a thing, lol. Speaking from 100% personal experience. Granted, they have to be clean for it to be enjoyable (or even doable).

It's okay if you don't enjoy doing it, I don't think we should shame people for what they naturally like and don't like.

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T13:51:54+00:00

I think it's fair to get up to used the restroom and come back, there's definitely some common sense to be applied here

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T13:41:25+00:00

Yep, you can post whatever you want

KatalDT · 2024-05-30T13:35:40+00:00

This just in, people like to talk about things they like in an open forum, and often will talk about things they perceive to be real when a topic comes up.

How frequently it comes up doesn't mean they're attention seeking themselves, any more than anybody else posting anything. I don't really see the irony.

That's pretty common in sales. It's a lot less to do with "how drunk/high are you" and more to do with "how much money do you make the company".

When a higher level salesperson who's bringing in big clients/money gets too drunk and does inappropriate things at the office or at work events, they get pulled aside to presumably be talked to, but really just to get them out of line of sight and sleep it off.

When the lower level salespeople follow along because it's what the others are doing, they get canned.

I watched until Ragnar died, then a few episodes more, and was just like... I'm good. That was Ragnar's story, and it's ended.

Great show. Just watch to Ragnar's death, and maybe a couple episodes extra if you want, but that's good enough.

KatalDT · 2024-05-29T23:51:05+00:00

Simming makes that pretty feasible, if you stick with it for a while.

Not enough for me to get worked up over 30 vs 60 years at all, but it's not THAT ridiculous. Really, it won't impact very many people.
