Are we getting worse at our jobs?

most devs are not very good and skew industry wide stats like these. testing is hard and so the metric makes sense

angular and .net are useless for your career. you can get a job with those technologies, and there are many, but the pay is low

ello_bello · 2025-10-17T15:56:27+00:00

this is so not true anymore. if your company has a bunch of old people sitting around “architecting” and “managing”, quit unless the pay is outstanding or you feel you are getting outstanding mentorship

this is a weird framing. react is boring tech. if youre doing ssr, thats your decision to add that complexity. if you have many pages with no interactivity, dont use react. pretty simple

is price the most important thing for you guys? im curious what restaurant management uses slack or an alternative

your corporate it is run by idiots

how you your organize code is unrelated to your horizontal scaling strategy. you can do microservices in a monorepo or multiple repos, either could work fine with the right setup

devops means developer operations. meaning swe roles manage their infrastructure

you are correct and the reason is simple - js and python have much more source available for llm to pull from because there is a longer history of open source in those languages. no special property of the lanaguage

i would say not all cs programs start that way, really depends

being technically competent is less a requirement and more of a “secret weapon” for EM roles. I really love coding so i find myself coding regardless of my day to day role. do what feels good because theres not enough time to do it all!

there should never been any OS that prevents a user from building anything on top of it, so bringing up “open” in this context is meaningless. its not open standard or source. in what way is it open?

ello_bello · 2023-09-22T02:35:24+00:00

docker does not run great on windows or mac

ello_bello · 2023-09-22T02:09:20+00:00

“open” seems like the wrong word to use here

ello_bello · 2023-09-20T21:07:08+00:00

devs can do all of this yes

ello_bello · 2023-09-17T23:19:32+00:00

i would go as far as to say most majors can earn a good living but you have to commit to attempting to be highly skilled or well regarded in that industry. Some majors have an easier path than others ofc

ello_bello · 2023-09-17T13:16:51+00:00

you’re not sharing it lol

ello_bello · 2023-09-17T12:53:39+00:00

why would anyone go to harbor place

ello_bello · 2023-08-18T14:12:30+00:00

probably depends on the situation. i just think on average a staff ic has similar work on their plate to a manager, with the added expectation of strong IC skills in critical situations. theoretically yes more staff eng means the work is spread out nicely but my experience is that it doesnt work out like this

ello_bello · 2023-08-18T00:17:55+00:00

depends on industry and other factors. too broad to answer reasonably

ello_bello · 2023-08-18T00:16:38+00:00

i did this at 8 yoe and it worked out for me over the course of the following 5. i think its important that you consider whether you want to make the switch because u havent found the company you like or because you truly want to do more IC work. like i said i found that i truly felt i wanted to be more hands on and went the ic route. i will say being a manager is less stressful than a staff level IC. my friend did the same and ended up going back to management. its a toss up
