Huh. Hands up everybody who is working at a place with good architecture and management practices?

Knowledge of and experience with the direct downstream and upstream of one's work is different than general knowledge. It can in theory be made up for by high-ceremony processes and strongly controlled interactions. But in practice that mostly doesn't work in software development.

Front-end developers don't need much server ops knowledge because that's not generally the direct upstream or downstream for them. But the principle still applies; they will be better if they have experience with their upstream and downstream.

Fogbugz seems to really be pushing their cloud stuff though, so I basically ruled it out instantly when I was researching options - it's unacceptable to have to host our code and tracker off-premises on hardware we don't control.

No product survives the first contact with the customer. This already happened to you despite of having only one customer - your girlfriend.

If I were you I would be really happy about her wanting to post the chosen images back to an other platform. This means your product would go viral on its own without any help. Think of a fair annual price, triple it and go live. There are many bored people out there with to much money in their pockets.
I'm not sure it holds for all health insurance products though - you're very specifically talking about the US model.

For the first part you're assigning a value to a thing beyond it's market cost and saying everyone is in fact a winner, and that's a little strange. Risk pooling via a private insurance company is negative sum because someone makes a profit beyond their costs. That should not then be taken to mean it's a bad deal (it isn't).
Exactly this. Audits don't care if there isn't any practical malware or if nobody can access the system outside 3306 and 22. Audits say "all production systems implement antivirus software" as a binary checkbox.
The best "coder" I ever worked with was one of my least productive peers ever. We were once able to hand him a detailed specification for a complex interface. Several people (smart people, mind you) had tried implementing it already and the results were always flaky after a couple of weeks of development. In about 2 days he had a very elegant looking implementation that I don't think we ever had to edit or fix again.

But if you asked him a question? He would literally stare at you and not answer. Couldn't get anything back from him in meetings. I believe he was hired from a very algorithms-focused interview. We had also hired a few folks who actually had MBAs with emphases on Information Systems. They were okay coders, but they communicated really well. They were by far the more productive team members the rest of the time.

> Both combined are still less than I would pay in any marketplace.

That might be as cheap as you can get for your out-of-pocket costs in any US healthcare marketplace, but that's one of, if not the most expensive in the world.

Factoring in the externalities is impossible, so it's an unfair comparison, but going to a doctor in Sweden costs ~$10, specialists are $30, and ER visits are $50, and after you've paid ~$120 in a year, all other visits (eg major surgery) are covered. On top of that, overnight hospital stays are capped at $10/night.

It's great that there's a bit of a loophole in the system for people that can afford to have a $12.5k deductable, but it's not for everybody.

One of the things that really helped is that all passive telecommunications infrastructure is by law "common use" - so things like ducts, pipe work, man holes, poles, etc can be used by any company. This has really helped to level the playing field so a single company doesn't have an unfair monopoly because it was there first (cough BT cough). Where I'm living right now cable and DSL was available (maybe up to 50mbit?), but last year fibre was rolled out by a different company. There are also guidelines on how the infrastructure should be delivered within buildings, so most apartment buildings have duct work going from the basement to the top floor, and space for the providers equipment for future upgrades.

Edit: Looks like Ofcom wants to do something similar:

I think any anyone who has worked with others can sympathize, but that's still not okay to say to someone, and there's not very much chance that it's entirely true. Especially at new startups, the founders are the primary reason for failure.

C'mon. I've seen you posting here for years. Of course I've seen you do more than express mere disagreement on a single topic. Disagreement is the norm here. What you do -- what you consistently do -- goes miles beyond that.

And note that you sought out a comment not addressed to you to perform the exact behavior in question: aggressively demanding that somebody educate you. Not because it looks like you're sincerely interested in learning anything, but because it's an argumentative technique.

If you actually want to understand this issue, find somebody whose job it is to teach you. Get a therapist versed in online culture, bring in a set of your discussions here, and pay her by the hour to help you see the pattern that is obvious to many other people.

I doubt you'll do that, though, because I don't think you're seriously trying to learn anything here.
Ballmer mocked iPhone as a luxury item at unrealistically high prices because he looked at it as just another smartphone.

If you look at iPhone as a low-price disruptor to computers (and I think that's fair when you consider how many people use iPhone as their primary or only computing device), its pricing makes perfect sense.

People could do great things just with punch cards, yet somehow technology kept marching on.

If developers want to use newer stuff usually they have a good reason. The ability to hack around the deficiencies of old dependencies does not mean that one couldn't get a better, cheaper solution with newer technology.

I see your point, and like I said I agree this is why Docker was invented and it's the best-in-breed at what it does (namely, being a tourniquet for a self-inflicted wound). My biggest concern really isn't "my problem" since I'm in ops: it's the leftpad worry. I still have teams starting Dockerfiles with "FROM centos:latest" because that's just the mindset they have: "Latest will fix any problems" rather than "Latest will introduce new problems".

And, ultimately, Docker lets that not be my problem, because they have to deal with it when the next leftpad happens. So, yeah: they should have at it. I guess I still think there's something to be said for the cathedral pace, though.

Worth noting the difference between attachment theory and attachment parenting.

Attachment theory is a psychological model. It proposes that during early childhood, we learn how to respond "within relationships when hurt, separated from loved ones, or perceiving a threat." We learn this by modeling the behavior of our parents.

Attachment parenting is a parenting philosophy (not a consistent theory) invented and spread to a popular audience in the 90's by evangelical christian pediatrician William Sears. It proposes that mothers should maximize physical contact with her infant by wearing the baby during the day, co-sleeping at night, breastfeeding, and responding immediately (or pre-emptively) to all crying. The philosophy recommends women stay in the home to focus on child rearing in this way for the first three years. After that, motherhood should be their "supreme career." After the philosophy was formulated, Sears made an ex post connection to attachment theory, but is otherwise unrelated.

One of them is a respectable scientific theory; the other is a very lucrative fad of anti-woman, patriarchal bullshit with no basis in science.

>the complexity and memory requirement of code

Those are only tiny slices of real production bugs. No amount of complexity analysis of your code ahead of time is going to protect you from all of the issues that arise with integrating any large system dealing with lots of requests. You run into all kinds of things like query optimization, kernel TCP tuning, load balancer problems, cache thrashing, high latency clients, out of spec clients, power failures, etc.

If you think knowing the theoretical behavior of your program in an ideal environment is enough, you are exactly the type that throws code over a wall without having tested it.

This is a great acquistion for both parties.

1. Trello was smart in only taking $10M in VC funding [1]. This allows for a 40x return for it's investors. If Trello were like many other startups, they probably would have taken too much VC money and got themselves in a situation where the VC wouldn't sell unless it was $2B+.

2. Atlassian now has a product that is loved by many developers and business people alike. It will easily be interegrated into their existing stack and it complements their products very well.

TLDR: Both Trello & Atlassian were smart in this acquisition. Couldn't be happier for them (and as a user).

"So they asked, ‘Why can’t we just make a little seam for the radio waves to escape through?’ And you have to explain to them why you just can’t."

Well, the iPhone 6 and especially the iPhone 7 do exactly this, so apparently you can indeed do exactly that. I wonder what has changed to make it possible.
There was another problem -- the beams were spec'd as box section, but what was on the shop drawings was 2 channel sections with the flanges welded together. (like this: []). The attachment point that supported twice the design load was also compromised by the weld and less competent section. Whoever was checking the shop drawings didn't pick up on the importance of the change.

IIRC, either change on it's own would have been marginally ok, the two together weren't. (by marginally, I mean probably wouldn't have killed people but wouldn't be to code)

When I was going through civil engineering, there was a big push to use a statistical basis for loads and resistances, rather than using a blanket factor of safety. Loads vary, strengths vary, potentially normally, probably not. But they're described by statistics at any rate. Blunders of this sort aren't, at least on a per project basis.
Developers tend to fall into the trap of believing we are better than sysadmins but there is immense value in having talented admins around. I have recently experienced this first hand watching someone breeze through server archaeology and vitlrtualization tasks that I struggled through and may never have been able to accomplish in a reasonable amount of time. When admins and programmers recognize each other's strengths and play to them it is a rewarding experience. We just have to realize that we're on the same team.

Also, docker (and containerization in general) is a wonderful thing for both of us. It decouples the fickle apps from systems (also moving targets) and the other apps which are constantly seeking out new and creative version incompatibilities. It makes migration and maintenance a much less frustrating endeavor with fewer surprises along the way.
I define "decentralized" as "no single entity owns or controls". It can be further distinguished with "server-based decentralization" and "server-free decentralization" [1].

You only need to be Sybil tolerant if you want your validating nodes to be anonymous. There's certainly some applications where that's useful. But it's not a requirement for being decentralized. (Some will argue otherwise, and that's ok; once again it depends how you define "decentralized"; my approach is about what benefits come to the application.)

$10M in funding implies a valuation of $50-100M, which means a 4-8x return not a 40x return.

It took me a moment to parse, but that snippet is actually pretty straight-forward when you know that Nim compiles down to C (or C++).

type Vector* {.importcpp: "std::vector", header: "<vector>".}[T] = object

This obviously creates a type "Vector" whose underlying implementation is C++'s "std::vector". (I don't know how writeable it is, but it is* readable.)

template `[]=`*[T](v: var Vector[T], key: int, val: T)

Function declaration syntax for operator overloads is hard to make readable (as in: familiar). In fact, this is about as readable as it can get (although I'm confused by the "*[T]").

= {.emit: [v, "[", key, "] = ", val, ";"].}

As I said, when you know that the compiler generates C code, this makes a lot of sense. It's a compiler instruction to compose a string of C code.
The Drudge Report: Who exactly is trying to take down the news site?
Disney uses a difference organizational design to produce animated films, including going all the way back to the days when they were shot on film with real cameras. The lack of a "cinematographer" title in IMDB for the film has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with the organization of the team.
Well, the example you are looking at is very complex, but also you are very unlikely to run into it early! For better examples, look at the homepage: you will see something much more approachable.

The reason this snippet is complex is that:

1. It deals with the Foreign Function Interface

2. It deals with the FFI with respect to C++, which is much more complex than the one towards C, essentially because C++ itself is complex

3. It uses a particular construct (emit) that is only needed when the standard FFI is not enough

So the example is really a showcase of a particularly complex case that you will likely not encounter, unless you start wrapping C++ libraries (which is not an easy task, unlike the C ones)
