I don't really understand the point of advertising the 'anti-microbial' properties. Antiseptic creams are far less expensive if you're applying it to wounds. Ingesting something for its anti-microbial properties seems a bit strange when there is plenty of research suggesting that having a healthy gut microbiome is beneficial[0]. People eat certain kinds of yoghurt for the very purpose of encouraging gut microbe activity.

Is this purely to advertise to the homeopathic crowd or am I missing something here?

The nice thing is that such beauties of interfaces are rediscovered by the younger generations. The rise of the REPL interface for python is a great example which makes this language feel a lot like BASIC on stereoids. And the notebook interface was kind of a game changer for open source scientific computing. Despite volunteered by some software from the 80s and 90s (thinking of the young Mathematica and Matlab GUIs), it is something which really got widespread nowadays, from my feeling. The distributed nature of these tools over the web is probably boosting this experience.

Furtheremore, the small joy for programming can always be around the corner. Take for instasnce https://tixy.land/ , its a small creative code environment. Or take https://d3js.org/ as a bigger ecosystem which made animations and svg really fun and easy with javascript.

Yes, there are a zillion ways to wrap a long piece of cloth (people have been doing this for at least thousands of years), and there must surely be one of them that works for any body shape. The wrap takes a bit of practice and is definitely slightly slower to put on/off than some of the carriers though (maybe an extra 1 minute).
It's the exact same criticisms every single time about other languages too. Unsafe C, slow Python, verbose Java, messy JavaScript ecosystem, etc.

When criticism is valid, it doesn't matter if it's novel or not.
I don’t think they have a choice. Reading between the lines, the CA who cross-signed their previous root doesn’t really want to continue doing so (or asked for a lot more money) because LE usage reached levels that are just too risky. I don’t blame them: a single bad actor found doing something particularly nefarious with a LE certificate might lose them the trust their business is literally built upon. I don’t see any other CA queueing up to help what is typically their commercial nemesis. And as they say, at some point they would have to do it anyway, might as well rip the plaster off.

I cut my teeth on C64 BASIC. I got one (a C64) for christmas 1984, the manual had several pages of sample programs that you could program (one ever had a mistake in it). By New Years day I had tried atleast 4 of them.

I'll be honest, I had more fun making making ASCII art that would endlessly scroll & loop thanks to a "GOTO 10" at the end of my creation.

If I'm even more honest, I find myself wishing for a GOTO command I could use in my bash scripts once in a blue moon. (I know they are a bad/horrible/lame crutch, but my brain seems to blank out any other options and just says to me: a GOTO would work perfect here.)

If it wasn't for a C64 and BASIC, I wouldn't have the career and love of technology that I still do [Checks calendar, HOLY FUCK] 36 years later.
Once you get past a certain brightness, you really need a way to manage the heat output. I don’t think most people want an extra heat sink in their phone add weight and taking up space that could be used for other features or more battery.

If you really need a very bright light, you can find small dedicated flashlights that will do the job much better. But I think, just like with a camera, the tool you use the most is the one you have with you.

For me at least, a 2-year-old took an order of magnitude more attention than a 7-month-old. So I wouldn’t hold your breath.

My 4-year-old is finally getting a bit more independent now though. Now that he is able to read books, draw pictures, build things with construction toys, etc. that can keep him independently engaged for a good while with intermittent encouragement.

I was careless with my wording. By workstation, I was emphasizing the station portion.

As an example, my current cube at Intel has walls all around (albeit short, but some buildings have walls taller than most people), 2 file storage cabinets with a fair number of drawers, a decent sized desk (enough for 2 people, not that we'd do that). Correspondingly, the cube is enough for 2 people. Also, I have a whiteboard.

Tech debt is always described as a metaphor. The word itself is a metaphor for something ill defined. The problem with the metaphor is that a vague definition of the problem means that there will be equally vague solutions. No one is really sure what tech debt is exactly. There is a formal property to the program that correlates with our level of understanding of the program and our ability to change the program with limited understanding.

You give a metaphor of a kitchen to help someone understand the problem. To solve the problem I give another metaphor: Wash the dishes and scrape the grill to prevent technical debt. Does that help you understand the solution? No. It gives me nothing. The solution is as ill defined as the problem.

There is another phenomenon that the kitchen metaphor fails to describe. The failure is this: All measures to prevent technical debt will fail given enough time. Technical debt can be eliminated but it cannot be prevented. Even if you try to write the cleanest code and you're given unlimited time to organize your code, all of your attempts at prevention will fail.

How do I know this? Because the most insidious form of technical debt is always unexpected. People may take shortcuts here and there but those shortcuts aren't taken with the knowledge that there will be huge problems down the line. The worst technical debt always appears as mistakes that weren't known. A shortcut taken now can be valid and never lead to problems in the future.

Technical debt that actually causes serious issues exists only in hindsight.

What is the formal definition of Technical debt? The set of all code that isn't a combinator.

I think some of what you describe, i would consider to be "mentoring" not "micromanaging". I at least view those differently, but i can see how they can look similar in a lot of ways.
If you print only occasionally, wouldn't it be easier to just use a print shop? Not sure how common they are in the US though.

The common pattern of behavior I have observed with micro managers is a fear of perception, such as a fear of looking bad. Most commonly this manifests as the boss wanting a hyper selective output they wish they could do themselves because either they do not trust the employee and/or because they cannot communicate what they want.

Contrast that against excellent managers who provide proper direction and allow their employees to safely fail for growth because you learn more from failure.

Technically you can use Gradle from the command line. Gradle isn't pretty though. `gradle init` for a simple Kotlin hello-world application generates 20+ files and folders, which to me is an incredible amount of bloat. Not exactly Unix-y. Agreed about Kotlin being made by JetBrains being a negative. It's a great language, but only working with one IDE, JetBrains', is a trap I'd rather not be in. They seem to be on the wrong side of history with the Language Server Protocol becoming more popular every day.

I’ve worked in a startup where they were unable to deliver integrations in time because previous work had been done “quick and dirty”, and significant amounts of money were lost as a result.

Don’t kid yourself. That is technical debt, it was our fault.

Technical debt isn’t “bad code” it’s what stops you from shipping features; and it’s more important for startups to manage, not less.

What youre referring to is very early stage stuff, where the total LoC is so trivial that a few people can just remember all the details of it in their heads, so it doesn’t matter how messy it is.

...true, but there are finite physical limits to humans; you can only keep doing that for so long before you flub it up, and lose a lot of money for your employer.

This is one of those moments that people just flat out fail to have intuition about.

Same process, same results right?

Nope.

Same process with diminishing returns <— reality of software engineering over time.

So specifically:

> After all, whatever you think of the code or design decisions you've found, it has clearly justified itself just on basis that the company is successful enough for you to be there finding it.

This is wrong.

It was the correct decision/code at the time for the scale at the time, which, since you are there looking at it, it is probably no longer suitable for.

Not intuitive is it?

There’s a lot of truth in this, but I find the people that pivot toward practical software engineering skills early in their PhD are still highly valuable to tech companies.

I think the issue here is you can’t become highly skilled in software engineering overnight, and compensating by flexing softer “problem solving skills” isn’t enough to compensate. If you want to be effective in data science, you need to commit to being a rockstar programmer AND statistician AND be well versed in a number of different algorithms.

Unsurprisingly, this is difficult, and so the market of people who do it well is small. That’s not, however, a referendum on the value of predictive modeling and software engineering. I don’t see advanced math and software engineering skills going out of fashion anytime soon, simply because they are hard to acquire and immensely powerful in the right hands.
A my last $job I had a direct manager for the first 3 months then they moved on and a replacement was never found. 2 years later his manager (my ex-managers manager) quit and was never replaced. I worked there for just about 3 years total with no real manager.

Luckily for them I'm very independent and they had a lot of obvious problems to work on. But it was rather silly.
I am really enjoying the way you are expressing this argument, and I think you are mostly right.

I’d like to add a caveat though. At least the places I’ve worked, tech debt is a polite and convenient way to provide political cover to all individuals.

“We made some dumb choices and I don’t want to point fingers but the more we let this go the more exponentially time consuming to maintain this will become,” and/or “some of our team can’t figure out how any of this works and we don’t want to say those people are _dumb_ exactly, but working this piece of the application could improve our ability to make modifications and generally improve the competency of our team” or maybe even “this star engineer gets obsessed with this code-shape and we don’t want to lose her, so we should let her write it ‘the right way’ to keep her happy.”

These are examples were “tech debt” is being used not necessarily for lack of understanding about the problem, but rather as a shorthand to discuss a *mostly already understood problem” while providing political cover to everyone involved. Maybe management insisted on some dumb things, maybe engineering did some dumb things, maybe if we don’t do this dumb over-engineering task we’re just going to be distracted by it for the next year.

When the “tech debt” is NOT a clear trade off being discussed using those words as a shorthand, I think it’s that there’s a lot of little issues that can come back to haunt us in a wide variety of ways that we already know how to fix (eg security, documentation, efficiency of a core process could sink us if we have unexpectedly good success, whatever, and general “risk reduction” activity that is a million little things that are too plentiful to identify in isolation with any amount of efficiency). Calling it “tech debt” in this scenario is an admission that we don’t understand the risk profile of our own code well enough to make good choices, so we’d like to spend some time organizing the code so that we 1) can understand it will enough to maintain and modify and 2) better understand the potential risks of our code (and potentially mitigate some risks along the way).

It’s sort of like, you’ve got a bunch of floor managers, but you had them all just tossing product into the warehouse as fast as possible rather than doing it in an organized way, and now they’d like to maybe do their job so that we can actually have an inventory and get what we need when we need it. Yeah, you hired floor managers, but it doesn’t magically get organized if you reprioritize them to shove everything in in whatever way is fastest. Ie, it was a dumb idea to do it that way, and maybe some of that dumb is on upper management for telling the floor managers to “just shove it in ASAP” and maybe some of that dumb is on the floor managers for not confronting upper management about it before starting, but now that we’re here, let’s just agree that there was some dumb that happened.

> With the correct materials, in theory you could slow down light enough to control its flow through a circuit with a series of nano reflective materials and its overall carrying capacity for speed of information would far outmatch electrons which require a medium to travel through which ultimately renders it many times slower than the speed of light depending on the properties of the material.

That's an extremely load-bearing "in theory".
