I think it depends on the job for which you're applying.

We want our senior developers to be willing to dig into business requirements and constraints without being asked to. Curiosity, orthogonal business knowledge, etc are important at that level and higher.

However, we've seen multiple times that the junior developers just can't do it with the rare exception. They have enough work getting up to speed on one or more of: the language, the large internal system, the large client systems, how the client works, how to be an employee, how to deliver value over the long term and not go 2 weeks with no delivery then 2 weeks with, etc.

In my view, following reasons:

1. There are few web based mind mapping tools that are really good.

2. Learning new technology by making things (Meteor in this case)

3. Putting what you make in public for feedback.

5. Test the boundaries of the platform (Web in this case)

6. Feel good about it as a dev. :)

> With lower budgets and less aversion to risk, private companies are also more likely than public agencies to suffer disasters in space.

I disagree very much. Throwing bureaucracy and money at problems does not decrease risk. NASA has killed several astronauts: Challenger (bad internal processes and "go-fever"), Columbia (bad technical concept and design), and Apollo 1. Then there are those near-misses with Apollo 13 and Gemini 8 [1], which could have easily resulted in the loss of the crew.
Money and bureaucracy also don't protect from stupid mistakes, as seen in the Mars Climate Orbiter case (output data in wrong units) [2].

Private companies also have a strong incentive to minimize risk to human life, due to all the bad PR and losses in revenue that brings.

Great story, cheers for sharing. I experimented pretty aggressively mostly throughout my college years. One of the most mind-opening trips I ever had was on several hits of LCD. One thing to mention is the profound impact the people you're tripping with can (will?) have on your experience. This trip started in my friend's neighborhood. He was unlike me in most ways, more of a "weirdo hippy" who did drugs for the spiritual aspect of the experience. At one point, early in the evening, he and I were walking through a small wooded area and we both noticed a purple cartoon character following us (yes it was the 90s, no it wasn't Barney). He smiled and instantly made me feel like it was cool, just something to observe and let happen.

The rest of the night and into the morning was spent in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Nothing special about the small city, and we both knew it very well. But my relationship with it completely changed that night, as we explored every nook and cranny, appreciating all the details of the landscape and its overall vibe that we overlooked the hundreds of times we hung out there before. From sitting on the river's edge smoking a bowl, to sneaking into the Brown University theater and goofing about on stage, to laying in a small park and letting the trees dance for us, to watching the sun rise on top of an historic building on the East Side, it was something else.

Point being, I agree with you on the value of experiencing the often-experienced places with a totally different mindset.

Greater London consists of many boroughs or 'cities', way more than three. Each is its own municipality, just like Westminster.

The City of London happens to be one of the smallest, and least populous.

Edit - on rereading this, I realise you may have been referring to the fact that Westminister has 'City' in its name, whereas most others boroughs use the word 'Borough'. I'm not aware of other boroughs in Greater London that are also 'Cities' in that respect.

Having worked at a fintech startup specializing in decision systems for regulatory compliance, I second this. There are interesting theoretical aspects stemming from the fact that domain is very tricky to model.

* There is considerable structural sharing inside finance regulations, but it is not hierarchical

* Regulations may be changed at any time, and these changes may be future-dated or back-dated

* Users insist on arbitrarily complex exceptions and overrides

* Nontechnical users (particularly legal) will insist on being able to vet and introspect

In my experience, anyone can do this badly, but to make it scalable and robust requires subtlety and a good understanding of formal logic, ontology and DSL design. It's a good fit for FP. Oh, and there's plenty of room for machine learning: Automated discovery, natural language processing, noncompliance detection, etc.

The problem of turning regulations into a expert system that is robust against future changes has not been solved, and there's demand for such systems from even the most sophisticated financial companies, even though everyone expects they'd be able to build such systems in-house.
Here's what I wish we'd do in space in the next 100 years:

- Make industrial-scale self-reproducing robots, and send them to an asteroid.
- Build more robots out of that asteroid, send robots to next nearest asteroid.
- Build a ringworld out of asteroid and robot parts.

The great thing about space being so enormously big, is that .. once you get off Earth .. you've got so much of it to play with. Send some of these robots to the rings of Saturn, get as much water together as possible, take your fish-tank and get on with it ..

We have the technology to do this. We truly do.

We just don't have the will.
New Atom chips are actually quite fast -- certainly they're much faster than the ones in netbooks. Also, Windows 10 runs quite well in 2GB of RAM, for most ordinary purposes.

In my experience, these machines browse faster than Chromebooks, support more tabs (in Firefox), let you use non-Google browsers (eg Vivaldi), and run lots of stuff that Chromebooks don't (eg Microsoft Office, iTunes, etc). They also work much better offline.

You can save a trivial amount of money by buying a cheap Chromebook, but you lose a lot of performance and capability.

I'm not saying that Chromebooks don't have advantages for some use cases, because clearly they do. However, they're not significantly cheaper than comparable Windows 10 laptops, which is where we came in....
I've kept an eye on Sandstorm for a while now...however, I get the feeling that it is something I should want to use, but I can't find the use case that warrants it.

Yes, Google is betting heavily on web-everything-all-the-time because they know how to monitise the web (and their competitor don't). Making the web better furthers this goal, but it also makes the web better, so there's that.

When we start seeing things that will break/degrade the web for apps and users that aren't in the Google (ad/tracking) garden, that's when we start to worry, but there's been very little, if any, of that.

This is one of the best posts on software development I've read in many years. Each sentence rings true and is an amazing read.

Its like the author is describing many of the projects I've worked before.

Micromanagement and software factories are the death of software development.

But then no matter how much I dislike these management methods, I can see why they are put in place.

There are certain developers that get to a project and just start rewriting everything with no good reason, introducing new cutting edge tools and frameworks for the fun of it and for pure CV driven development.

They introduce huge bugs close to release dates, breaking browser support, refusing to test on IE.

Lets face it, loose canons exist on all teams and we've all seen it before.

This is OK and necessary in the early development cycle, but when things get to production its different. One day something gets seriously broken, and management comes in putting in JIRA or equivalent, and micromanagement starts.

Demotivation of the early developers sets in, the ones who knew how to setup an architecture and make technical decisions. The leave and are replaced by other developers that don't necessarily could take those decisions.

The project entered a pure maintenance phase, where business as sort of given up asking too many features, it just costs too much and the results are less than ideal.

The project enters the keep it running final phase, where noone knows how certain parts of the system work anymore, all original developers long gone. Here the goal is to touch the code as least as possible and its no longer a development job, its mostly technical analysis and troubleshooting of test environments.

Then 5 or 7 years have gone through, and the business decides to replace the system with a new one and the cycle starts again.

The only way i've found to deal with this, is to become a contractor and work mostly on early to mid phases of projects. When the project enters pure maintenance I wait for a few months and then look for a new project.

Put like that it's pretty impressive. A lot of people, including me, tend to focus on humans in space and on other planetary bodies so think look a bit grim from that perspective.

You can claim whatever you want. You can claim the sky is made of cheese. Don't make it true.

It's debatable whether, under UK law, you can claim copyright on an image that's just a straight scan of a public-domain/out-of-copyright image. Usually you need to do some sort of work to get the "sweat of the brow" copyright protection. Though it's quite common for places that scan images (like libraries) to claim copyright.
