> I'd rather have a multiple generations more mature software industry at a point I'd need to develop "safe" software, than a safely evolved industry several generations behind.

Yes, that's exactly the problem. So now we have an unsafe industry that is producing a terrible that powers a very large chunk of the worlds commerce. It's a house built on quicksand and our hope seems to lie in hoping that we can move to another house before this one collapses.

The areas in which this is most visible: security, reliability, maintainability, documentation and testing, and finally a complete lack of warranty for suitability from the various manufacturers/service providers.

Software is 'eating the world', but is it strong enough to support the world in the longer term if we continue down the road that we are on? I'm not bullish on that.
Sure, your points on their differences are correct, I agree with that. But I still think my comparison holds.

Basically the comparison was made to convery Sturgeon's Law; that 90% of everything made is crap.

In that sense it is like evolution: A numbers game. While not explicitly random, distributing risk among groups going in different direction could be an efficient way forward, when counting for what would be lost with some central governance. You then select the optimal direction by results.

Yes, I suspect this is the case, Moore's law gave us an extremely easy 'out' of many problems that we refused to look into the eye and hopefully now that that has more or less run its course we will finally be able to re-focus on learning our craft properly because there are no free lunches to be had any more.

Up until recently, I used a Mac for everything, so everything was on the native services:

* To do lists/Reminders - macOS reminders
* Bookmark lists - Safari bookmarks
* Kanban boards - Trello
* Wikis - http://taoofmac.com (https://github.com/rcarmo/sushy for the engine source)
* Financial tools - Numbers or Excel
* Calendars/Reminders - macOS Calendar
* Files on disk - Dropbox + a NAS
* General notes - Evernote (now OneNote)
* Mindmaps - Mindnode (works great on iOS)
* Photos - NAS

These days I have to use a PC at work (I'm at Microsoft), so a few things changed:

* I left Evernote around 6 months prior to switching jobs because the app was becoming useless and migrated everything across to OneNote (which was free anyway). That gave me:
* To-dos
* Notes
* Blog drafts (I wish it did Markdown, but...)
* Occasional web clipping I want to keep beyond Pocket.
* I started using Pocket more to bookmark stuff I'd want to follow up at home or on the move
* I started using Chrome more (thought about Firefox, realized that Chrome also kept extensions synced the way I like it. Would switch if I could set up a private sync backend)
* I started using OneDrive alongside Dropbox at home (I don't run Dropbox on my work laptop, but some files I might need at work like school schedules and stuff go on OneDrive)
* Trello was replaced for work purposes by Office 365 Groups (works pretty well)
* My NAS now backs up nightly to Azure
* I use Outlook for work calendars, iOS to access everything (Outlook on iOS is pretty good and has its own isolated calendar, which suits me fine)

Mindmaps, reminders and to-dos are always with me on my iPhone (both work and leisure), so no need to sync them. My personal wiki only has public stuff and doubles as my blog, so the copious amount of public references I amass (see http://taoofmac.com/space/infoviz, http://taoofmac.com/space/dev/Python) is still useful regardless.

In general, I don't mix work and personal stuff (OneNote is an exception because it can _access_ different notebooks, but they're on two separate accounts. I generally access my "Shopping" notebook at work to check on to-dos and add stuff, then close it).
I created https://mypost.io/ for myself which is a web content creation tool and lets you put up a web page on the Internet in seconds. I find it handy when I'm with clients and I'm writing a list of things they want. I can use it as a checklist and later on, go back and delete it if I don't need it anymore. I have used it for demonstration webpages or just to keep track of projects I'm working on or to-do lists or for brainstorming. I even built in a feature that keeps a list of all your saved URLs so you can return back to them at any time. If I am working with a few people on a project, I just share the URL and give them the password and they can work on it as well. Definitely useful. And yeah, it's a free tool.

What reason did google have to believe Comcast was going to "cut off" access to users?
After trying many different options, I am sticking with org-mode (encrypted with ELPA) + dropbox or syncthing for now. I schedule weekly sessions (usually on Sundays) to sort out all information, check if my TODO items are done or blocked and make sure all my tagging is consistent.

Only exception is when I am on the go and I want to take quick notes on my phone. For this I use google keep, making the notes sticky until I am in front of any of my laptops and dump the note into org mode again.
I would like to point out that the parent's comment may have been technically correct, but slightly misleading. Police can only arrest (in the US) if you are actively committing a crime or have a warrant out for your arrest. Many companies instill policies that also overlap with the law and may turn over evidence to authorities thus placing a warrant out for the (former) employee's arrest.

90% of all bridges and buildings, powerstations, cranes and heavy machines are not crap. Engineering is a responsible job, it's nothing at all like making clay vases or plates where if you throw away 9 out of 10 of the things you make isn't going to cause anybody to suffer other than yourself.
Udacity Artificial Intelligence Engineer Nanodegree Program
We capture what really happens in the manual system, as well as what should happen. Sometimes the latter is pretty vague, or (believe it or not) simply unknown, in which case we learn the very final goal (e.g. "all invoices should be approved in under 24 hours") and work backwards to discover bottlenecks. This can take many weeks, sometimes months, because it requires interviewing subject matter experts.

Implementing the software comes at the very end, ideally when the underlying process itself has been re-engineered. We found that you can't simply take an existing manual process and implement it in software, because if you do then you also capture many of the inefficiencies and bottlenecks.

> How much vacation time did you take last year? If you're like most workers in the States, it was probably less than 3 weeks. That's all your company will give you, right?

Wrong. My company is obligated by law to give me 26 days of paid vacation.

Oh, you meant you assumed I live in USA. Too bad.
Because nobody really knows what they are doing.
You are right, I stand corrected. They actually talk about tensile strength in the PRL article:

"It is noted that lonsdaleite exhibits almost identical ideal tensile strength and only slightly larger pure ideal shear strength compared to diamond. The significant enhancement in its indentation strength occurs under biaxial stress loading conditions. The situation in w-BN versus c-BN is similar. All past calculations have shown that diamond exhibits the highest strength under various loading conditions compared to other materials, which was consistent with all available measurements. Here we show for the first time that w-BN and lonsdaleite exhibit higher strength than diamond under indentation."

So, indeed, diamond is still the winner here.
The sad reality is that black hats have been exploiting this class of bugs for years.

I found that my bookmark lists, to do's, notes, personal project plans, everything went stale after a time anyway, if not acted upon. It something wasn't important enough to read, study, or develop, then it really wasn't that important. Thus letting it all go was much more palatable.
It's not clear that the crashes have been people who misunderstood the capability of the system. To me, it seems more likely that they got lazy and put a bit too much faith into it.

I'm not saying it's not a problem, just that it's a lot more complicated than what Tesla decided to name the feature. I think the accidents that have occurred would have occurred regardless of what they named it.

Options are a possibility, you know. You don't need to give up the way you do things, just because someone else wants to do things in a different way. No need to get all defensive about it.
Yes!

Sometimes I will have a have a big problem that I will decide not to fix immediately, even if it's more "important" than other things I'm working on. Then, when I come back and rapidly write a simple solution, the question of course is "Why didn't you do this a week ago if the solution was so simple?".

The answer is that the answer wasn't simple at first. Understandings of a problem and solution often live and die many times over in a mental background thread, before they ever reach a keyboard.

Sometimes, when under pressure, I am forced to ignore this fact and start writing the moment I reached the "Yeah, I think that would probably work, let's git 'er done!" phase. In almost every such case, it takes longer overall as I iterate through incomplete solutions and rewrites.
Sorry I wasn't clear on the original comment, how can NDA stop a developer to use what he knows while writing code or creating procedures?

If you are a developer and worked on a code for 2 years. NDA cannot cover what you know what you don't. Your know-how that you captured on that company can simply be replicated in another company. You'll write the code from scratch, and NDA or copyright, or even patent in majority of the cases will not be enough to enforce or stop such a think. In rare cases patent can solve it but do we want all companies to patent everything?
It's "Docker" that changed my career and I still believe it has the capability and growth to change my career further too.

When I landed my first job back in 2012, I used to be a PHP developer. As obvious, working in a startup will force you to be a jack-of-all-trades, I started picking up SysOps (Linux, Web Servers, Email Servers, Deployment..etc) tasks along PHP development.

In mid 2013, I stumbled up-on "Docker" and I started learning it immediately. Mostly, I used it to solve dependency and packaging issues for my PHP projects. Soon I became fluent in SysOps tasks too.

Early 2014, I wanted to get into a new job. But not sure to continue as a developer or get in-to DevOps. Instead of doing the same old boring development, I chose to be a DevOps and the opportunity was provided because I have working knowledge in "Docker", which is not an easy find at that point of time. Actually I got a pile of opportunities and landed in the best among them. After 2 years passed by now I'm at my third job in a different startup, which again I work mostly with Docker.

By looking at the Docker's growth and usability, I could even say, it's gonna get my future job also :)

12 Hair-Razing Ideas for a Must Have Halloween Wedding with Style
freedom to contract is always a good thing.

I disagree. In an unbalanced relationship, the more powerful can take advantage of their power and impose contracts that leave the less powerful significantly worse off. If your choice is, for example, to contract to surrender your statutory rights or be unemployed, the freedom people have is the freedom to be worse off or much worse off. I wouldn't say this is a good thing. We rely on government and (if we're lucky) unions to prevent this freedom.

Software development takes a long time because of the users. If you think about every piece of software that has ever been written, they have been created to solve a human problem or resolve a human concern. As we build more impressive systems, our expectations also change. A state of the art website just 5 years ago is unacceptable today. Think about all the work that we now have to do in order to make things mobile responsive. Features such as chat and video, which were revolutionary in 2004-2005 (when Youtube and Facebook were found) are common requirements of projects today. In additional to an increase in user expectations, we have to understand that when we undertake a project it is to solve a new problem whose implications cannot fully be understood from the beginning. In most software projects, the problems only becomes clear after spending months building it. Once we have the software as an artifact, we will find new ideas and new extensions that we could have never imagined before. Additionally, a large part of our software has to interact with other artifacts in the real world. These artifacts are built by other people and continuously change. A large part of maintaining a project is ensuring that is still compatible with all the programs that it depends on.
Outside a Micro Center in central Ohio, on a nice lookin' Tesla, I saw the plate FSM 1337. I was convinced this was the geekiest geek around these parts, and when the guy walked up to the car to get in, I said "nice plate!". He had no idea what I was talking about. Zero. I had to explain the whole thing, and though I initially thought he was just pulling my leg, I then thought about it and realized that Ohio plates as given are three letters followed by four numbers. What are the chances???

I agree, but if we want that we should start from demolishing "patents" and many other similar more basic issues first, but we all know why that's not going to happen.

Secondly when you do that, aren't you actually killing commercial research? Why would I spend $10M to research something if one of my employees can just take that know-how and move to my competitor?
People have tried to build software like Civil Engineers build bridges. It becomes frighteningly complex and involved to make a stop light controller, and you end up wanting to throw out functionality from your hardware because it makes things complicated or impossible.

I mean a lot of the problem is we generally spend most of our time thirty abstractions away from what is actually happening, and often times those abstractions leak. For goodness sakes few of us are even protected from cosmic rays changing bits in our ram, which happens fairly frequently.

Let me start off with saying I completely agree with your points of the downsides of this.

It is however extremely hard to imagine the world that would be, if we were to take a different route. What would be the effects of slower improvements. I assume (since I sometimes do) many people look at the software industry as narcissistic and self-agrandizing when "delivering expriences" and "solving global problems with scalable midware". But what third party industries would be held back if this one moved much slower? Could there be loss of medicinal advancements, monetary, safety, third world advancements?

But as you say, I'm also very hesitant on the stability if we can't find some middleground between the two.

Sure, but that's because of safety necessity, not because of optimal solution.

The "flaw" you talk about here has an exact opposite, which is a reactionary knee-jerk defense of the status quo just because it must have been arrived to optimally.

Often called "Panglossianism" as per Voltaire's character in Candide:

> Dr. Pangloss was the pedantic old tutor in Voltaire's satirical novel Candide. Pangloss was an incurable, albeit misguided, optimist who claimed that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." So persistent was he in his optimism that he kept it even after witnessing and experiencing great cruelty and suffering. The name "Pangloss" comes from Greek pan, meaning "all," and glossa, meaning "tongue," suggesting glibness and talkativeness.

The idea that there's always a good reason for every societal practice that we currently observe is arrogant too, just in a different way.
