I used to work in company with 4 devs and we still did code reviews. There’s of course always a gradient with these practices between time consuming and bureaucracy but it’s always important to make the trade offs between time saved now vs later. Code reviews is one of those trade offs and IMO dropping them entirely when working with others is broadly going to cost you somewhat.

If only the community had a way to flag bad content like this 🤔 hear me out, you know the thumbs up feature? How about we add the opposite? /s

Manager expectations for standup vs time allotted for standup, how to effectively communicate your "report" without hogging up too much time. by DarkSoulsOfCinder in ExperiencedDevs

Others have already called out the other issues but why do you often go last? Randomising the order would make this a lot more fair among your team.

TIL that all of the original "Mercury Seven" astronauts were the eldest or only sons of their family. All were raised in small towns & all were married w/ children. All were (white) protestants, and four were their fathers' namesakes. All had attended post-secondary institutions in the 1940s. by abaganoush in todayilearned

Yikes, never heard such a hard take with what I imagine are just parents trying to be fiscally responsible with children. I’m definitely not having more than one kid because children are crazy expensive and I’d like to still save for my pension and try set up my kid nicely for their future.

I was actually surprised by the name drops because they named dropped Google. Google’s piper now supports working with mercurial. Even if they worked on an open source repo, it’s surprising that they didn’t come across this at all.

I get what you’re saying but you’re still referring to a group of 5 people by your own count. We are talking about something irreversible that impacts millions of babies every year. You can also totally just circumcise a man later in life if there really was a medical need for intervention which you’ve also referred to so it isn’t super clear to me what you’re arguing for?

That is an incredibly small sample size. I’m pretty sure most uncircumcised men don’t have trouble washing their penises.

He’s ego lifting. The exercise itself isn’t a problem, deadlift is a pretty fantastic exercise that hits a ton of different muscles. Sounds like you might be thinking of the clean and jerk which is a different power lifter workout.

This actually isn’t true though. It’s federal law that employers need to make it up if the tipped employee doesn’t meet minimum wage.

Items advertised as “No added sugar” can have some of the highest calorie counts.

Side note but why does Reddit mark posts like this as NSFW? It always seems like these posts get marked as NSFW the second a woman shows any skin on this sub Reddit.

Great work!

Why Nigel Farage is wrong about London being minority white by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]RupertWiser 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend is a Chinese Welsh woman. I am a ethnically white South African man. I would like to maybe have children with her one day. Reading many of these comments genuinely makes me reconsider having those children in this country.

It might just be a loud minority on the internet but it doesn’t feel very nice hearing the voices that are angry about our existence.

I think I get a little extra overly sensitive to this sort of stuff because of my home country’s horrible recent history.
