How much? Very little. Any vaguely formal hiring system will weed out non-graduates faster than you can say "Elon". Without a degree, you'll have to live and die by your network and your hustle, which may or may not work well for any given person.

The cynic in me thinks the current "you don't need a degree" wave is a fashion to get more people working for ramen. After all, VCs work in aggregate: throw enough sleep-deprived ramen-eating younglings at the keyboard, and one of them will eventually give you a unicorn. The more you can chain to that way of life in the long term (because they can't fall back to traditional careers without that magic piece of paper), the better.

I say this as a dropout who learnt these lessons the hard way.
This is not a problem caused by antibiotics. Is a problem of genetic nature that happens because broilers are inbreed for growing big and fast. The same birds in true range with plenty of food would face exactly the same problem, with or without antibiotics. They are too heavy and often tend to have cardiac diseases, but they live short lives and are delicious so they are the most sucessful bird in the planet.

On the other hand, we are a paradoxal species. Able to feel horrified by this, whereas happily petting our distorted-faced bulldogs, persian cats, caesarean born bullterriers, extra-dwarfed toy Yorkshires, ponies and toy mini pigs, without any trace of moral conflict...
Not all teachers are equal. There are plenty of places where the current state of chemistry education is still teaching kids the electrons go around the nuclei in perfect little circular orbits and that electrons that are 'shared' do so by making figure 8's.
Robotic Service Orchestration (RSO) creates the best ecosystem for technology, process, and practices. It enforces a change in behavior towards improvement and agility.while looking after control. Information from the arrangement is the soul of advanced change – it helps Business comprehend what is going on today, and how it can be enhanced tomorrow.

Robotic process automation platforms are designed to be excellent task bots, but what they haven’t been designed for is to manage an end-to-end service. RSO can work together with RPA to create a roadmap that extends beyond the pilot stage of a project, enabling organizations to manage the entire automation process.

Robotic service orchestration brings inherent structure to RPA programs, allowing multiple automation technologies to be deployed seamlessly as part of a greater, coherent automation strategy.

> but it always seems like they sorta reinvented the wheel instead of using existing tools

PlatformIO wasn't built as a commercial project. What is more, we didn't re-invent wheel or clone other project/idea. PlatformIO is a practical solution for the problems which were resolved in http://smartanthill.org (the place where PlatformIO was born). The problem, where you need to build the same source code into the multiple embedded development platforms/architectures using any OS (Windows, Linux, Linux ARM, macOS, BSD, etc) WITHOUT ANY DEPENDENCIES to a system. The only one requirement is Python interpreter.

If you try PlatformIO today on a clean machine, it will take ~1-2 minute to build/deploy the whole project. Our build system is super fast, ~4-6secs per generic Arduino AVR project. It's based on SCons construction utility. We have own optimization for it and, also, provided PR as contribution to SCons.

> but why didn't they do all this using the normal tool-chain like CMake/git/GNU-tools/crosstool-NG/etc.?

You can do that if you work with 1-2 board/MCU and use the same OS. If you have a project and your team uses different OS, or you need to be sure that your project has the same workflow not matter which system environment will be used, PIO is cool here.

You need to bother with make/cmake/build scripts/toolchains/upload tools and other things... Just tell PIO which board (currently, we support ~370 different boards/architectures/mcu) do you want to use and PIO will do all complicated work for you automatically. You can easy move from one OS to another, or even to work simultaneously from different places, IDEs.

PlatformIO that is not just a "multi-platform build system". It's own philosophy and own vision how embedded development should look. A lot of people do not agree with us and have an own vision and use own tools/instruments. That is normal, or better, we hear good criticism and trying to make PlatformIO better and better.

> Or is it to get some kind of lock-in and promote a commercial product?

Again, PIO was not built as a commercial project. We see our mission in an embedded world and do all work for free under 100% open source/Apache v2.0. Today, PlatformIO has own niche and own big community. We see big future in PlatformIO not only from a business point of view. PlatformIO allows makers, hobbyists, companies to focus on own ideas and own products and save time which could be spent to maintain multiple development platforms using different build scripts, tools, etc.

Today, we work on the other solutions for the business/developers who need to more professional instruments. We don't have an aim to monetize existing work (3 years) or even change the license. Whole this work should be moved to PlatformIO Foundation or a similar protected organization.

PlatformIO has own history, thousands of developers trusted in it and supported us. PlatformIO could not be successful without our community, they are our guide for the new achievements.

The PlatformIO Team
Security will improve as technology improves but the main challenge of IoT is that unlike traditional software running on common hardware - upgradability and configuration is difficult due to the small form factor and awkward interface, hence why many IoT providers are going cloud first which makes sense from consumer level while it does not make sense from privacy point of view.

INSERT:

Btw while your toaster does not need to connect to your wifi many people forget what is the true value proposition here and why these devices need internet access - software - dumb devices that use the hardware only as operating shell but uses software to provide the smarts. In other words a toaster with WiFi connection will not provide you with a better toast but a toaster on your wifi might be able to serve toasted bread with broken hardware that is mitigated through a software upgrade.

The toaster example is extreme. I know! However if you look at Tesla you can apply the same principle at micro and macro level, i.e. the tesla already has the hardware for self-driving but it lacks the smarts yet - i.e. the software. Tesla converted the business of selling cars to a business of selling software - and that is way more valuable than just the car itself.

We know that you are just a guy with an opinion. But you could counter the arguments if you still hold the opinion, otherwise you could concede.
On the contrary, seems to me the point you made is extremely personal. Your lashing out at someone for suggesting people "should" experiment with this or that expresses an opinion just as strong as that of the original poster.
It does not want to suffer. Not wanting to die has more to do with avoiding suffering/pain than it does with the dying itself.

Ideally I could eat animals that are happy and content then instantly dead without ever knowing what's happening. If we could breed them with little switches in their brain stems that can be turned to Off via a wireless signal ...

I'd want that. That would be great. Press button, chicken drops dead. Takes 1 microsecond to die.

The more important question is how self-aware is the chicken? Does this self-awareness give it rights? Do rights stem from self-awareness, or from humanness, or is it arbitrary based on a wishy washy feeling of "Hm, that looks too severe. Oh but that other thing, that's okay". Or is how we treat them based purely on how much they can take before the taste becomes too poor for us to bear?

Ultimately the point is that meat is tasty.
A more practical use might be found in psychotherapy - recalling traumatic memories to identify the relevant neurons and then switching them off. That could be extremely useful for treating PTSD if it's feasible to do so.

A lot of of the criticism of GMOs is based on flawed science and misleading use of statistics

That article you linked was flawed on quite a few levels. It argued for example that France was able to reduce its levels of pesticides without using GMOs and used percentages to show the reduction, thereby arguing that GMOs are not necessary

But looking at absolute values, France had a far higher use of pesticides and insecticides and even after the reduction it is still higher than the US, although in the US herbicide use has gone up (primarily glyphosate, but that replaced other more toxic herbicides).

Greater crop yield means more efficient use of the land and resources. I agree we produce more than enough food but reducing yield is not the answer. Also we've barely scratched the surface in terms of using the potential of GE.

Sort of, yeah. See https://testing.googleblog.com/2017/04/code-health-googles-i... as one of the examples of a type of Engineering Productivity work that I do at Google (although as you have basically pointed out, there are reasons we avoided that word for the work that I do, although I still think it falls under the broader umbrella).

It seems like the thing that you're worried about (I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, this is just the sense I get from your post) is people hiring a sketchy consultant to come in and have everybody follow some process whether or not it has anything to do with their work or making things actually better. I'm definitely also opposed to stuff like that and I've made a few jokes or snide comments about it here and there on the blog, in http://www.codesimplicity.com/book/, and on my Twitter feed.

Leisure as a status symbol of the upper classes is nothing new though - it's what's required for the Good Life according to Aristotle, and it's long been the aspiration of the English upper class: a marker of nobility.

The famed Keynes biographer, Robert Skidelsky (The Right Honourable Lord), has an intriguing book with his son, Edward Skidelsky: How Much Is Enough? Money and the Good Life.

Starting point is an essay by Keynes from 1930, Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren, in which Keynes predicted that 100 years from then, economic progress would have improved productivity and real incomes so much that everyone (in the developed world) would only have to work 2 days a week and be free to enjoy their leisure otherwise.

Now, it's still a few years until 2030, but it doesn't really look like that prediction will come true - and the book is an examination on why.

Makes you think. (And sleep. And take time off :-)

"I think microdosing LSD is 100% placebo and that we should stick to rationalism and science"

Well, according to your own words you are not sticking to rationalism and science, you are actually letting your pre conceived notions about what's right and what's wrong dictate how you act without any scientific support.

Maybe. I've interacted with a lot of companies on this subject and I've found that not to be the case, though. There's usually more that an individual engineer can do about the system than sometimes they believe. It's not that there aren't management problems--there are and they are real and they do cause many or most of the failures in the software engineering industry in part. However, purely blaming management for the quality of your code is an irresponsible attitude that won't actually get you anywhere. And I don't mean "irresponsible" in the sense that you should be blamed for it, I'm taking about responsibility as the ability to be cause over your own situation, the ability to be the source of the things that you yourself produce. If you're sitting around saying that somebody else is responsible for your production all the time, then you're not going to be able to be at cause over it or come t change it in the way that you want. So yes, there are management flaws and they do cause this sort of trouble, but there's also another attitude that you can take toward it and ask yourself, "What CAN I do about my code, like for real?"
In this day and age it's not that fun anymore. You need to prepare what to do when there is a lot less snow around.

Btw, I should have been more clear (and it's past the edit period). These people are specialists in IoT. "Branding" was just a response to the parent's question of if anybody is highlighting that aspect of what they do.

I can relate to what you write. I too have gone through such a bleak time. And yes, the spiral can become a vortex. But there's hope:

People around you are NOT better than you. For the most part they are faking it and hoping like crazy that they'll make it. In some places, e.g. SF, SV, everybody is "crushing it". It's an act. Most likely they suffer from impostor syndrome.

It is daunting to change everything at once. So just pick one area and make some small improvement. You imply that you are married. That is a good place to start, sit down with your spouse, tell them how you feel and discuss how you could make one change (cooperatively) that improves things for both of you. Then you could repeat this. Having improved home situation is an excellent start. Emboldened by such a success you could have a similar step with a very good friend and so it goes on. I would leave becoming better at work to when you have some wins on the board.

There is no stigma in seeking professional help. It certainly helped get me onto the right track (I was single at the time and hardly had any friends due to working long hours).

They still have to have good clustering of samples for each variant they are testing. That is, there needs to be a sufficient number of samples in each of the three states (homozygous normal, heterozygous, and homozygous variant) for the software to look at the analogue signals and draw a box around each of the three clusters. This generally prevents the analysis of rare variants using chip technology.

I would be very curious if you could look up the variant that 23andme have reported you have on http://exac.broadinstitute.org/ and let us know the "Allele Frequency" from there.

The thing is, most people are carriers of several rare mendelian diseases. When we do whole exome sequencing, we get on average a couple of hundred rare potentially pathogenic variants in each patient, of which possibly 20 or 30 are actual causes of rare mendelian disease. However, the patients are only carriers of these disease, and are completely irrelevant to their health. The likelihood of them having children with someone who is a carrier for the same condition is very slim (but something we investigate every day).

Getting both sides of this arg: basically 'sep of concerns' is viewed as being 'seperation of technology' rather than actual sep of concerns. Eg, put documents and styles and behaviour for a related component together, seperate that component from other components.

It's a slightly silly argument because really we're arging between slicing something vertically (tech) vs horizontally (components) and the nicer thing is probably to do both - have lots of components with the documents, styles, and behaviour separated out within each component.
