It definitely referenced it when I first read the article.

I wonder what the motivation would be for removing that reference.

EDIT: Note that I am not user "runn1ng"; I am corroborating what they referenced about the contents of the article

EDIT2: They even mentioned three-or-so specific forums or websites, or something.

I’m kinda curious what a developer with a couple years experience and making his own company would be able to demand back in the states.

I think “apprenticeship “ isn’t a thing in tech. Things change quickly and companies don’t want to pay more money for people to develop software. Mostly because developers are viewed as a cost (a well-paid cost) and not money makers.

And then the ageism problem. my biggest concern is what I will do if my business fails. Would companies even bother looking at me? Who knows shrug I’m in my late thirties and I’m pretty sure no one would hire me for developing, though I could probably be hired as a manger or team lead.

They seem less readable to you because this is not what you're used to. While I agree that complex, one-line comprehensions, possibly with more comprehensions nested inside, can be quite unreadable even for experienced developers, I find that the given examples, with clearly separated expression-loop-condition structure, tend to be quite easy to read and understand, even for junior developers.

> I agree but in containers' defense they weren't supposed to be about security in the first place.

> In my understanding the main incentive for the huge push behind them was immutability and them being microservices-friendly technology.

I'm not a container historian, but I believe this came later: when Docker and the like entered the scene with their ideas of immutability, LXC on Linux was already several years old, and BSD Jails / Solaris Zones probably a decade older still; and they were all quite mutable.

When I first came across them, I viewed them as very lightweight VMs, with (as you say) rather insufficient security, but still useful for experiments or to segregate services for ease of management.

In what sense?

It's a program (or function, or object, etc) where you feed in events for changes in market data and perhaps other things, and it feeds out commands to buy and sell particular quantities of particular instruments at particular prices.

AIUI, that program is typically quite simple in structure: it might work out target prices for some set of instruments based on prices for another set of instruments, with a function that is not necessarily more complicated than a polynomial. Then it buys or sells if the market price is sufficiently different to the target price.

The structure of the pricing function will be designed by a quant, and the coefficients in it will be set by fitting to historical data. A lot of the work goes into developing tools and practices for doing that fitting, backtesting the fitting, etc.

Ask HN: How do you promote a dev tool and build community around it?
I'm sure many of you have launched before a product targeted at fellow developers. I wanted to ask if and how did you manage to get it off the ground before you raised any money?

Let me give you some context first. I'm working on a product for web developers which:

- is free and we intend it to keep it so
- is serverless and we host all the necessary backend for it
- has a JavaScript library as its frontend
- is relatively easy to understand and use
- isn't open-sourced (at least not yet)
- is ready for a private beta

I guess a reference product you could compare it to is Firebase.

I've always thought the best way to gain the first users would be through tutorials. But it seems these days that if you post somewhere a link to a tutorial of a free product some (many?) will consider it a shameless selfpromotion. At the same time, the web is full of similar content about established products.

What marketing strategy did you use to get your first 10-50-100 beta testers?

“Supply and demand” has two sides. You can ameliorate demand distortions while also building. They’re not mutually exclusive.

If someone wants to or needs to own for a short term, a sensible policy is to ensure that they don’t profit from

Great tool to track your ranking ... Most accurate and real time data provided by this site
For one, you have to pay a senior developer to train them for a year plus before they'll really be productive. And secondly, there's not really a cost saving. If I hire a senior at $200,000 a year they're likely 10 times more productive than the boot camp grad I can hire at $80k a year or the offshore contractor I can hire at $20k a year. Plus that senior dev will be able to think about good architecture, team dynamics, bring industry experience, etc.

Now I do think there is a place for hiring interns and new college graduates once your development org reaches a certain size or the company is at a certain level of stability.

It's very simple, really. If you only raise salaries on personnel rotation, you do not have to raise salaries of those employees that do not jump ship. You save a bundle if you have a large workforce.

This attitude introduces a skew where your workforce gets progressively filled with people who do not switch jobs. It's a dangerous outcome, to be managed with care. If you get stuck with those who do not switch jobs because they are too incompetent, you have a big problem. If you manage to get those who are competent but content, and not very concerned with higher earnings, you have the ideal result: stable, competent, performant team, with controlled costs.

While it's basically impossible to stop a person that is really really determined to kill themselves, many suicides can be prevented by making the means less available. For example, reducing the package size of paracetamol and requiring blister packaging instead of bottles reduced the number of suicides in Britain: https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/02/a-simple-wa...

You can still walk into as many pharmacies and buy as many tablets as you want in total, so in theory this shouldn't change anything. People still can - and do - kill themselves with tablets. In practice, it requires a much more premeditated plan which seems to hold off a substantial quantity of people.

Weird statement. "Best" is up to debate, but "most customizable" is definitely Emacs.

Well, that's all good but it doesn't explain how did we get there.
I think, Moore's law resulted in a resource curse for PC and mobile. Unlike with the shared computers from the past and cloud services from now, you pay not for the resources you use, but for the resources you own. And under the Moore's law they grew exponentially for quite a while, so the software simply followed the trend growing exponentially in overheads, too.
Technical reasons are probably secondary, since we do still have real-time computing, and high-performance computations in their own respected niches. It's not that all software is inherently bad, it really depends on what it is for.
I believe, the socio-economical reasons of the current state of software are most interesting and the least researched.

As you said, there are degrees. Paying your rent on time is 90% of being a good tenant. Going back to your other example, yeah, the gate was broken, but as you said, you didn’t actually care. I’m guessing you never complained. So how is that all that relevant? Not saying the landlord shouldn’t fix it, but you’re just making excuses. You don’t actually care.

Suggestion: pay your rent on time and none of this will ever be an issue. And I wouldn’t bother “lawyering up” when you fail to pay your rent and get an official demand to pay what you owe. The law is not on your side and most courts will take a very dim view of the excuse that the gate is broken, especially when you never cared enough to complain.

Only anecdata, but if the team (company) is small and you're chronically understaffed, there may not be enough time for "training" - maybe this is a bit skewed towards "more generalists than specialists" - but I've had this experience.

Let me try to give a only somewhat made-up example. If you have 3 people doing a big web application in one stack, I see no problem having 1 or 2 of those 3 be relatively junior. If you work with 5 different tech stacks that keep different parts of the company running, it might be a bit hard to get someone to learn 2 programming languages in addition to needing a little advice in their main tech stack.

Not saying it's a valid reason, but if a lot of your hard decisions are actually important architectural ones and not small "how will this small piece of software be developed", senior people are actually a lot more important than usual, than say, in a team doing feature development.

Also about your definition of Junior.. depending on where you work, 4 years often is not really junior anymore - elsewhere you'll not progress to non-junior until a few years more...
