Decade-Old Freelance Outsourcing Models Is Broken: Here is the model for  2020s
Current outsourcing models are a decade old and do not meet current agile needs for product engineering. Hence, this is broken for Products that are iterative in nature (Platforms such as Toptal, Upwork, Freelancer, Gigster are only suitable for projects!)
Hence the need to rethink outsourcing models for products; we believe the solution should have the following composition:

1. Workflow systems for Product Roadmapping, Planning, Design, Engineering, and Management.
2. Iterative Engineering Approach.
3. Iteration should define the basic execution cycle and unit of execution.
4. Sprints should define the basic unit of work!
5. Saas Model (customers should be able to subscribe to iterations and pay for sprints delivered).

We are doing research and have built a basic MVP to test this hypothesis; if you're interested in trying it out, please request access on https://www.grupa.io
According to Dan, you're both outliers: https://twitter.com/danluu/status/1058029337923014656.
We spend a LOT of time at work. It's ridiculous not to seek fulfillment at work as well as elsewhere.

Edit: I think maybe I didn't communicate well. I just mean that being fulfilled at work can be _very_ significant because work is such a huge part of our lives whether we like it or not. And so not _seeking_ fulfillment in work can be a huge blind spot.

I didn't mean to imply it should be prioritized above all else, or that it's shameful not to have the luxury to achieve this to a high degree, as the OP presumably does.
Because "there exist situations that parcel cannot handle because it doesn't allow configuration". That's a useful thing to know. The fact that the OP can't recall what the situation was also provides a useful piece of information; that it's likely something that is not run into often.
Mostly the priming effects, i.e. read about old people and act slower, be in a room with money symbols and be more selfish.
This is great - thank you!

This is almost exactly what I'd like to do with recursive CTEs in one of my current projects.
Those dependencies, many probably written by unknown authors with 0 stars on github, have complete access to your computer and can execute arbitrary code. Even though it shouldn't affect production, that's still a big problem for your own machine.

To put it another way, would you willingly download and execute 730 programs from unknown authors on your computer?

Just to set the record straight, there was no hateful part of my post.

I was referring to the uproar from the residents near where I live (which is part of an eruv) about a mosque being set up there, as reported by major press outlets:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/14/golders-gree...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/islamic-cent...

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/faith-leaders-condemn...

The point I was going to make was that they appear to care deeply about what is inside the eruv (e.g. a mosque). You say it is just about pushing a stroller around and they don't care about what is inside my house etc, but we can see that if someone tries to set up a mosque inside their self-declared jewish area (i.e. eruv) and it is literally national news due to the level of anger and racism.
Software engineering just isn't that hard. Tedious yes, but not remotely difficult. We've been fed the narrative of economic success that many folks have forgotten what personal success looks like. You can be successful in your career and still feel like a failure.

Therapy is the answer here. You have to un-brainwash yourself from the notion that your job is your life and figure out what really matters to you. Then focus on that, and use your job to fill the boring hours in between.

I agree that you need to push yourself and discover who you are -- but the answers to those questions aren't going to be found at work. This sort of mid-life crisis is pretty common for career-focused people in their late 20s - early 30s and the solution is to find interests and friendships outside of work.
The idea is that McCLIM is a base and that there are so many applications (like a listener) that it approaches an actual development environment.
I just learn whatever is needed for the product I want to make. After being a programmer for a long time it's very easy and fast to learn basically whatever.

Not just Terraform, but the rest of the Hashicorp suite is powerful and relatively easy to pick up. At the tail end of last year I taught myself Terraform and I'm looking at Vault next.
Interesting point. I'm also more likely to be able to leave my car while it's "filling up" if I'm just plugging it in, as opposed to if I'm refilling the gas. It could actually work out for them, even if the total number of customers goes down by half, if they're twice as likely to go inside and buy something.
That’s a great question, and the conclusion I draw from observations are just conjecture.

The thing that bugs me about these genres of dumb TV is that the constant attention grabbing and little dopamine hits of whatever the crisis de jure is has to have some impact.

This might be my favorite feature in Bitwarden. Numbers are colored differently than letters. Red may not have been the best color choice but not being colorblind myself, I can't say whether it's an issue in practice.
For mobile non-game apps in app stores, targeting private people as users? If so, you then do have a very different market around there indeed. Let's not dig for market research reports, I don't really have the interest for that now. I'll just take your word for it.
I thought the article author’s background could be of interest:

More extreme. It only applies to the same core, more or less. The original benchmarks are on a one-node CPU, after all.
I suppose this depends on whether you prefer to live to work or work to live. When I was younger I lived to work. Now I work to live. I've taken up backpacking, woodworking, and put a greater emphasis on my family life. If anyone is on the fence here, I definitely recommend working to live. If you can avoid misery at work, you're a lucky person, so do that if you can. But at the end of your life the odds you'll be most proud of selling a few more units of some software is very small.

I couldn’t disagree more with this. A meaningful connection to your output is important, but most jobs are bullshit and won’t satisfy that need. Leaving a cushy job to pursue that is rarely a good idea. The grandparent post is right - get a hobby or find some way to volunteer and give back.
Yea like wtf is a "former Egyptian engineer"? Like is he not Egyptian anymore?
Switched to Rollup.
The concept is easy to grasp, but for me the challenge is figuring out which testing framework/suite is best for the language I'm dealing with (and then learning the intricacies of how the tooling works).
Very few people have that luxury. The career path for your average software dev in Silicon Valley does not have a lot of interesting work involved -- it's a bunch of middleware stuff like parsing data, CRUD operations and updating documentation. It's the 21st century version of being an auto mechanic -- super interesting at first, but there's a definite ceiling on the knowledge.

There is only so much interesting work to go around, and you're usually not going to be doing it. You can seek fulfillment at work, but you also have to be prepared not to find it. Seeking fulfillment elsewhere is the secret to not burning out.
"His posts appear hours before I awake every day, despite us being in the same time zone."

Real blog software* lets you schedule posts. It's eminently possible that he writes these in batches and has his blog post them at midnight local time. He seems to be using Wordpress, which has multiple plugins out there to make this even easier to do.

Regularly keeping this up for eleven years is nothing to sneeze at but I am pretty sure that the likelyhood of him getting up at 3AM every morning and writing a post is nil.

That fact nonwithstanding, users might be better served by having more "freedom of expression", e.g., by software that lets the user type any text into any field.

Of course, if the user doesn't succeed in entering a phone number when asked for a phone number, the user will probably need to confront that fact eventually (or fail to achieve what he or she set out to achieve) but it doesn't have to be during the typing into the field.

In fact, that is how web forms worked in the early and mid 1990s IIRC, and I have second-hand information that it was easy to get random users to interact productively with a web form during those years compared to how easy it was to get them to interact productively with other UIs, e.g., a form implemented in Windows 95.
Switch to Parcel from Webpack for my latest project. I was actually surprised that it just worked, I didn't even have to write a config file (being used to Webpack this felt like I saved hours of work).
Bill Gates calls for income tax in Washington state
For my own learning, I'm pursing three things:

1) Elixir: since I teach it, I pretty much need to keep digging further and further into its ecosystem, looking for useful things to share with my audience and looking for better ways of building things. For example, the series I'm in the middle of is on LiveView and the next in my queue is on Absinthe/GraphQL. I knew nothing about LiveView a year ago and spent a good amount of time last spring struggling with various Absinthe-related tasks. A year from now there will be even more "must-learn" libraries.

2) The intersection of development and marketing: as a developer, there are marketing systems I can build by myself that would be very difficult for most smaller online businesses to do, but also highly valuable. I've been taking some of Brennan Dunn's courses (working on his ConvertKit course at the moment) and it's been one of the best investments I've made.

3) Rust: I don't have any business reason to learn Rust at the moment. However, it's a particularly good complement to Elixir. Elixir's strengths are stability and productivity, but it's a bit weak in brute force number crunching. Compiling natively invoked functions in C/C++ has been a thing for a long time, but at a terrible cost. If those functions trigger an exception, they can take down the entire EVM, negating the famous stability of Erlang/Elixir. Rust, on the other hand, is very good at making the most of the CPU and memory available in a manner that guarantees safety. So NIFs written in Rust can be used in Elixir projects without fear!

I'm also interested in using Rust with WASM, so there are multiple ways I can see learning it paying off down the road.

For anyone out there learning Elixir: You might want to check out Alchemist Camp. I've had overwhelmingly positive feedback from people who have used it to learn Elixir from scratch (https://alchemist.camp/episodes, scroll down to the bottom and click Lesson 1)
Same here. I never thought that made me an idiot, though. I just don't interview well. I had far more problems than just the technical portion of the interview when I first started in the field. I've gotten considerably better at the non-technical portion of the interview over the years, but being able to do higher level thinking in an interview has always been a non-starter for me.
sounds like a decent simulated annealing or genetic algorithm search. which seems fine. smart people trying different ideas for a while.

I agree with the first half of your reply and the overall sentiment that freeriding like this is just gonna leave you just further disappointed and dissatisfied in your life.

However, one thing i disagree with you and a lot of other similar replies on is that finding another more challenging job is the only way to solve it. Wouldn’t OP working on a side project or contributing to open source with all that free time he has solve the existential problems he is having just as well? Not even mentioning the fact that doing so sharpens his technical skills, adds projects to his resume, with the main difference (as opposed to working an intense job) being that he has way more freedom to choose what he wants to work on and how.
Too bad this post was flagged before I could read it. It really deserved a Scott Locklin rant. It takes a special kind of disrespect to attack the field of machine learning from the viewpoint of a roleplaying techno mage.

>Take any solid element that doesn’t vaporize, and heat it to, say, 700 degrees and you will find it emits exactly the same spectrum of light as any other solid element also at 700 degrees. The reason this happens is because we live in a quantum world.

i think the author is deeply mistaken here. The idealized "black body radiation" of classical physics would be the same for both elements. It is because of quantum mechanics that the actual spectrum of different elements at the same temperature is different.

GTK has the advantage of having fully capable bindings for every language under the sun, so I would generally agree.

Qt is harder to create bindings for since it’s C++, meaning it’s more likely that your language of choice doesn’t have bindings, in which case if said language doesn’t have C++ interop you’re stuck.

I have a few thoughts.

1. Vague historical anecdotes are not quantitative evidence.

2. Existing biological evidence supports an inverse relationship between testosterone and tear production.

3. Stoicism is a sexual selection criterion found in human attraction research to be used by women, along with complexion, height, upper body strength, and facial symmetry.

4. Anecdotally, I find that men are often crying around friends. I find that they don't like crying around superiors. Additionally I, and many men who have compared notes, find that women in particular don't seem to like their SOs crying. That would seem to fit in with 3.
If you are on the java platform I have an unpopular recommendation: get familiar with OSGi. Its specs, its history and its core concepts. The learning path you go will teach you a lot about how to build systems, how to think about api design, modularisation and standards (compared to one-off company owned tech). Its almost certainly makes you a better developer/thinker.
Work smarter not harder. Your brain should be sweating not your fingers.

I worked at a Big Corp, and would often spend the day surfing or training for ironmen, and coding at the cafe shop between sessions.

My reviews came back nearly the top ranking consistently. My “secret” if anything was jumping into the hardest technical problem available to me and taking it on largely myself.

The folks that were promoted faster were the ones that put out business critical fires and spent 80 hour weeks debugging customer issues. Which was well deserved imho.

Google is a huge company, with tons of opportunity. Your risk adjusted return there is probably higher than YC. If you can’t figure out how to hit homeruns at Google you are likely to fail everywhere else.

Your managers job is to tell you what you need to do to become a “critical” employee that’s on the fast promotion track.

Hi Rick,

I am currently pursuing my second degree in Computer Science. My first degree was in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California. I am actively looking for any kind of opportunity to get my foot into the software world, and I believe working for your company would give me that opportunity. Are there any internship opportunities available at InfluxData? I will be graduating in August of this year, so I am actively looking for internship or full time opportunities. Please let me know.

Thank You,

Having talked to some immigrant workers in America about similar situations, I think the issue is a bit more nuanced than that. Yes, from what I hear, illegally low pay and benefits are not uncommon. However, there is also a lot higher sense of obligation by the employer towards the employed, since they are fellow members of a tight community. The boss is expected to put up with more of a requirement for job training, time off for family issues, etc. because if they are a jerk boss the word gets around about it in their own peer group. So, while they may not be subject to all of the same government restrictions that stranger boss-employee relations are, because of a tacit agreement not to report your own to the feds, they are also subject to a lot of extra restrictions that a stranger boss-employee relationship is not.
I think that might be what inspired the “rooftop assignment” plotline in the first season of Silicon Valley.

I’m pretty sure that the Linux behavior makes sched_yield more suitable to the 40-yields optimization I use for locks.

I don’t buy claims about lock behavior based on microbenchmarks. Microbenchmarks have wildly different behavior from one another so it stands to reason that they have wildly different behavior from real code.

Linus’s excuse is that if you use a real lock then shit is good. That’s a pretty good excuse IMO.
Can you elaborate why?

I tried it in the past (maybe a year ago) and just 2 weeks ago, too. The experience I had was aweful. Pretty much nothing was working. Maybe I am too biased from Parcel and I got disappointed when even simple things such as starting with an HTML file as root module does not work, or when importing CSS does not work, or when using TypeScript does not work.

What I particularly disliked is that it cannot even cope with the standard stuff that I throw at it. CommonJS modules (only the standard...)? You need a plugin. Not only that: I had to specify what modules I wanted to include and what they export. Do you know a way around all these wholes or is your solution always pretty much self-contained?
We are highly lucky to be in a time where it is very easy to switch among high paying jobs across various companies. If you are able to get by with 10% of your mental capacity, I am sure you would be able to land up a lot of jobs. I would recommend you apply to many places, and take it from there, depending on the interviewing experience.

I don't think you really need to learn anything special for job interviews. There is no necessity to understand special technologies, as most good companies are fine as long as you have any experience with similar things.

I would also recommend you read books on programmers. I recently read "Masters of Doom", and it might open your eyes into goal driven programmers and their impact on the world.

Also, out of curiosity, which companies do you think have a higher hiring bar than Google?
Quantum logic and programming. Given the demonstration of quantum supremacy, AWS expanding into QC with their Braket service, and MS releasing Q# in 10-20 years this will be one thing you will want to have learned. All of the silly JS frameworks can wait. The ML world gains massively due to underlying speed gains of QM. Security considerations will have to change drastically. Having a head start here is extremely valuable given the steep learning curve of QM/QC.

This is a great answer. I was going to say something very similar, but rather than a therapist, I’d recommend meditation!

Talking to yourself about yourself and seriously debugging, can be a lot of effort but long term, it is very rewarding.

I always say to people, “Emotions and intuition are just a complicated set of logic you don’t understand yet”.

Emotions can be a fog in your mind, blocking you from seeing the path from where you are to where you want to be.

Putting in the time to understand the root causes of your emotions, start to help map your mind and you can better navigate and find paths to your final goals.
