Perhaps you have experience in a different part of Capital One than I do. While the annual assessment process does bear some resemblance to stack ranking (and to be clear, I think this assessment process is one of Capital One's flaws and it would be better if it were changed), the rest of the description of Amazon's culture does not sound like what I see working here at Capital One.

I see a company that, 5 years ago, was 80% outsourced and now is more like 20% outsourced and continuing to change. I see a company where the developers and technical experts are given a huge amount of power and influence in the direction of the company. As I type this at 8:15 in the morning, I look around the floor of my building and see only two other people in early; yesterday at 5:45 PM there were only 4 others and they were playing Foosball. Sure, when you're on-task you are expected to cooperate with your teammates and to be productive, but the attitude is not one of "deliver or die", more of "let's see what we can achieve!".

Please don't think I'm dismissing your experience: you are probably in a different part of the company and have a different experience. But your description didn't resemble my own experience, and I thought that was worth mentioning.
The upside for the mentor is that their methods are carried through to the next generation of developers.
I have come around to CMake. I've come to really like it because of using it in CLion.

But having it as the only option is definitely restrictive. And not competitive with Eclipse, which is more flexible on this front.

Words don't change reality. That's delusional.
I can definitely agree with this. Even though I've only held a couple of individual training sessions, the worst ones are where nobody asks anything and people just leave. No feedback on whether this session was any good or did I just completely blew it.

The boss can usually harm the subordinate's quality of life much more than the subordinate can harm the boss's quality of life. If you are fired than you immediately have less income. Your reputation is damaged if people learn of it. If you quit then it rarely causes any harm to the boss. They still have the same income. They probably have several other subordinates. Power imbalance is the defining characteristic of the boss/subordinate relationship. The boss can give orders and the subordinate will obey because the consequences if they refuse are worse for them than for the boss. This is what you pay to gain the stability of employment.

You don't need to encrypt it, just sign it - no privkey required to read a signed message, and you don't need someone else's pubkey to do so.

Of course it won't help if your coworkers don't also sign things they send to you.
Very interesting. How much of a pain is this? Definitely worth looking.

Of course there are other solutions to the problems as well. You can speed up linking by using IncrediBuild.

But the last reasons (fun challenge!) and understanding the inner workings are useful, especially for software engineers.
Well, I know how to write code and I still barely use Zapier because I value my time, IFTTT is "good enough" for most things, and also porting all my IFTTT recipes would cost me -way- too much a month.

Not a complaint about Zapier, mind, just that "you can code" isn't a great argument on this point.

I have done this as well, but it really comes down to the product you're selling. We're an ISP and our market is extremely under served, so people are literally desperate for a better option. Easy sell, IMO. I imagine we'd have a hard time trying to sell literally anything else locally on FB.

I've only been following Fedora development from a distance, and haven't had time to look at Fedora 25 yet. From memory, there's a bunch of things:

* Fedora and Ubuntu are more aggressive about compiling security features into the packaged binaries, whilst Debian considers package build flags to be the decision of individual maintainers, so coverage is more piece-meal.

* Fedora ships SELinux enabled. I believe that current versions of Android is the only popular non-Red Hat Linux-based system that does that. The common compliant about RH's SELinux implementation is that it is so restrictive about system integrity that it blocks actual system administrators from doing routine tasks unless they remember to change the appropriate SELinux policy settings first.

* Fedora 25 now uses a Wayland implementation for managing graphics by default, rather than X, so that the security issues of X don't apply.

* Fedora 24+ includes Flatpak, so that there is a system for sandboxed applications. Fedora 25 provides the UI integration for non-technical users to run Flatpak packages (once developers build them).

* The RPM/DNF package management system is more stringent about checking downloaded packages than APT.

It's not that, it's the texturing. I'm color blind and most of the game looks like a blur. It's super hard for me to tell things apart without a 3d component. It's worse since the game is painted with the fallout-blend or gray, brown, and more gray.

I can do play the game just fine but I end up missing a lot because I can't tell if from rocks.
Compilers are usually at a disadvantage compared to human programmers, as they're under pressure to produce code as quickly as possible; seconds if possible, minutes at worst. A human may spend many hours or days writing, profiling, testing, etc. This biases the kinds of algorithms that compilers use (especially JITs, since they have even stricter requirements).

It would be nice to have a compiler/optimiser/analyser/profiler/tester/fuzzer/etc. designed to run for long periods, running all sorts of improvement-finding algorithms, building up a knowledge base about the code on disk (which can be updated incrementally when the code changes), and providing reports and messages to the user.

When we're about to embark on a deep dive, for optimisation/debugging/etc. we can fire up this assistant and have it running for the entire time we're devoting to the problem. It can even keep running overnight if we spend several days on the issue.

Then in a few years when someone is reading old posts the links to old services are broken or the service is gone. If the code is central to the comment, why would you put it some place other than the comment? If it's not small enough you can collapse it inline and if it's so large that you don't want it with the comment then perhaps you should be rethinking what you are posting.

You acted like no one offers a PaaS for MMOs (and gave it a ridiculous name).

I pointed out just one of many PaaS options for MMOs (or ...MMOAAAS as you insist on calling it.).

In fact, when working for that MMO we did evaluate options the did let you use their game loop with your cloud functions being called on triggers, but you'd have to look that up yourself, that was a few years ago (even Photon has added new services since I did that research).

If you think you have an approach that can enter the space, by all means go ahead, but PaaSes for MMOs have existed for ages.

There is a reason that companies become less outward about their employees' beliefs when they become large, and it's to protect the company first. If the bigpharma company I work for takes a stance on an issue that doesn't have to do with our business (either recruiting or pharma issues), it can turn customers off. It can also anger employees, and make them feel like they don't belong.
It seems like the latest generations of software developers (which includes myself) is hazardously opposed to spending money on software, even when it can save/make you huge amounts of time and money.

I was lucky in that my first job was at a small non-software company that forked over huge amounts of cash for Oracle because it literally enabled their business to succeed (mysql and postgresql were nowhere close to being able to do it at the time). And yet I've seen fellow developers waffle over spending $60 on something they will use literally every day.

The Swiss report on homeopathy: a case study of research misconduct (2012)
You really should try. They're clunky and old, but they are great stories with engaging narratives, interesting characters, and ambiance aplenty. Which is really what Fallout used to be about – great story telling – before Bethesda started ruining the franchise with cookie cutter narratives, simpleton characters, and being distinctly non-canon. (I appreciate artistic freedom as much as the next guy, but at some point you've created a different world and just slapped Fallout stickers onto it.)

What's odd to me is that the Fallout 4 Nuka-World DLC is much more engaging than the main story. Is this typical of games these days? Do a crappy "main" game but "fix it" with DLCs? Or is it just Bethesda and possibly even just Fallout?

I think it matters more for most people, because they can't get a good mentor. I guess that having one of the top 1000 devs in the world as mentor does carry less risk for your career.

But more than 99% of us aren't that lucky and have to try with self study and "grit".
First, it presupposes I'm going to write new software in Python 3 rather than justifying why I should write new software in python 3.

Second, it matters because I'm thinking about python4 and python5. I've already been through this and got burned moving from python1.5 to python2, and python3 has been very uncomfortable thus far.

Thirdly, it matters because I work in a lot of mature (multi-decade) codebases, and figuring out what division is supposed to mean twenty five years into development is disconcerting.

Then when I'm simply not convinced python is a good investment anymore, this quippy attitude here is extremely off-putting.

Do you really want to know why I don't like python as much as I used to? Or are you trying to justify your decision to further invest?

This is a political thing. Norway produces and consumes near 100% renewable energies. They only sell other people certificates so that they can feel better. Many trains in Germany run on "renewable" energy, and nearly every utility company offers cheap renewable tariffs. In reality it's just certificates they bought from Norway.

That doesn't change anything for Norway though, it only shows that the current European energy policy can easily be abused. The case remains that Norway can easily add more renewable production and use that to grow vegetables in containers (ideally adapted so that they can cope with fluctuating supply). Norway has so much potential that they can still export more energy towards Europe, but as Denmark has the same plans, running significantly more wires towards southern Germany is the main problem here, not some certificates.

If I or most of my colleagues are fired we'll have less income for a month or two. Our lifestyle won't change [1] unless we want it to. In contrast, if my employees quit, my projects are significantly slowed, I need to spend a lot of effort hiring new ones (I hate hiring) and I'll look bad.

Furthermore, insofar as costs are unequal, that's merely a reflection of the principal/agent problem. Similarly, as a boss (but not an owner), I'm also motivated to overpay my workers; it keeps them happy and helps me get my work done (by hiring better people), and it's not my money that I'm spending.

I'm betting they're all catastrophic, but it's fun to think about the nature of the catastrophe.

Most companies won't hire you without you finishing a school first. Hell, even most jobs like a plumper need school certificate (or whatever it is called in your country).

>A CS degree is not required to work at google as a software engineer

Maybe so. But don't be mistaken - this is an exception. Yes, you can be hired without CS or any other degree or without higher education at all, but you'll have to prove you are exceptional enough. The very fact that you started programming at the age of 12 or whatever - doesn't say anything.

> use frameworks and new technologies

This is one thing that also does not matter much. New frameworks\technologies and languages appear and die all the time. What matters is you knowledge (OOP, design, algorithms, patterns etc) and your experience.
