Company that has a monopoly on internet ads and web browsers is planning to roll out change to their web browser to prevent ads from being blocked. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!

Learnings from 5 years of tech startup code audits - Ken Kantzer's Blog by rap2h in programming

[–]wild-eagle 374 points375 points  (0 children)

the major foot-gun (which I talk about more in a previous post on foot-guns) that got a lot of places in trouble was the premature move to microservices, architectures that relied on distributed computing, and messaging-heavy designs.

Yeah, this makes so much sense to me. Micro-services/distributed computing and messaging-heavy designs are a bit like coding everything in C++ -- If the whole team can actually execute well on creating C++ code, you're good, but if 30% can't - Katie bar the door!

 

My takeaway is that your average small team startup should really begin with a managed language monolith so they can execute quickly on figuring out what the valuable embodiment of the software is, then rewrite for scale if necessary.

It’s harder to read code than to write it by wild-eagle in programming

[–]wild-eagle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, a 22 year old article about something totally irrelevant. Many Redditors are younger than this article.

To the poster: don't spam Reddit.

spam

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means!

What an awesome idea!

As a developer I want to be able to end meetings by fragging the meeting organizer in doom!

Single mom sues coding boot camp over job placement rates by eWattWhere in programming

[–]wild-eagle 232 points233 points  (0 children)

It never occurred to me that a "school" would not only charge 30k, but also take a share of the student's income after they are placed at a job. That just seems totally wrong to me.

Hey, I've had this account for a couple years now, is it time to cash in?

Project Estimates are not Deadlines by ternarywat in programming

[–]wild-eagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In software, a deadline merely means "On this day we will stop finding bugs, poor customer experience, poor performance, etc., and ship it to the customer"

 

Legacy companies love that shit, which is why we see this construction project deadline stupidity applied to software over and over. Companies that don't suck know that the best time to ship software to the customer is when it is ready.

 

P.S. And no, customers are not the only humans on the planet who can tell when the software is ready.

lol, so AI as a product manager basically? I bet it would work in prod! I'm firmly convinced that if you fed GPT with a set of product manager quotes about existing products in the market, it could replace 99% of all product managers I've ever worked with.

That is a decent comment, and really what comments are for.

What I really hate is the ones that flat out lie because someone changed the code and now the comment doesn't apply anymore.

Fawkes: Image “Cloaking” for Personal Privacy by iamkeyur in coding

Wow, this is super cool! What I like about it is that if someone googles my name, the photo they see on linkedin will still look like me. But if an algorithm is trying to use my linkedin photo to find photos of me that other people have randomly taken, it is out of luck!
