It seems like $100k is conservatively a pretty typical salary these days even outside the big companies. That is $4M after a 40 year career, which makes you a millionaire when you retire if you can save 25%, even if the savings appreciate 0%. This seems pretty accomplishable.

But perhaps the idea of "being a millionaire" you're thinking of is not that you slowly manage it over a long career, but that it happens more quickly?

I disagree. I've found Javascript to be quite complicated.

However, I agree with your takes that:

1. It's highly accessible - yes, you can learn a single language and get away with only knowing that language for a good chunk of your career nowadays.

2. It does involve fairly immediate feedback (somewhat akin to Python in that regard), because it's interpreted. Given that it's also visual, and a strong majority of people equate the internet to solely what you see in a browser, it's a pretty gratifying experience (even if, later in your career, you avoid it like the plague).
Are hydrofluorocarbons from air conditioning systems really significant source of green house gas emotions (like Carbon dioxide is). I’m imagining that they are only global warming producing when the air conditioning systems are disposed. The lifecycle of an average system surely is long enough for that to be a problem. And if it is, aren’t there ways to capture the green house gasses during the recycling process?

Also we have to live with the fact now that the planet is significantly warmer now, and is getting warmer still. Even if we stop polluting now, there is already much damage done. Peoples life’s have been changed, and we will need to change our habits to stay healthy in this altered world. This includes more air conditioning systems in places that previously didn’t need them. Staying healthy is just as important as stopping the climate crisis.
Surveillance capitalism isn't the same as advertising. But I think your point is undercut by the fact that most of the industries you mentioned are doing… fine? TV is thriving selling ads (broadcast/cable) and also subscriptions (Netflix/etc). Radio is thriving selling ads (terrestrial) and also subscriptions (Spotify/etc). Even newspapers are figuring this thing out; NYT added a record number of subscribers last year.
> For example, natively getting a list of children is `el.children` but natively getting the parent is `el.parentNode`, not `el.parent`.

Actually, .children is the child elements; .childNodes is all the children (including comments and text as well as elements).

> Meanwhile, natively getting a list of classes is `el.classList`, but when I'm getting children I also get a list, so why not `el.childList` instead of `el.children`?

I’m not sure why they want with .classList instead of .classes, but I expect .className is a part of the history. If redesigning it from scratch and still retaining the functionality of .children, I’d rename it .childElements. Certainly not .childList.

And of course, the reasons for most of this stuff is the history. Some of the web’s APIs have aged well; others haven’t.
The country where I’m from, the de facto corporate culture trains the junior employees to furiously scribble down notes as a manager/executive is speaking, as a formality and sign of respect.

I'd say it's more nuanced. Reading code properly _is_ writing code. Ie i have to work through the logic as if i'm writing it, which is effectively writing it in my head, before i know if that's what i believe to be optimal.

I can _just_ read the code of course, and understand what it does - but just reading isn't analyzing it to the degree you do when you review/write the code. In that level of analysis you're looking for edge cases, bugs, etc. Reasons you'd write it differently. Which i suspect is functionally similar, if not identical, to writing it.

You can define your own `$` function. This way you can have the clean code without the entire jQuery library

function $(arg) {
if (arg.charAt(0) == "#") {
// HTML spec does not support ids to start with numbers [0]
// (you may not need this conditional on your website)
return document.getElementById(arg.slice(1))
}
return document.querySelector(arg)
}

Using this function you can select your comment with

$('#27677234')

jQuery does add many extra features but if clean code is the only thing you are after there are other options.

Great point. I've actually done some of my hardest work for hobbies, volunteer positions, or just helping friends with huge projects. And I loved every minute of it. There's a lot to be said for being able to appreciate accomplishing things and working together with other people.

I've had good success hiring some bootcamp grads for this reason. Some of them may not have the years of experience that senior candidates or even college grads might have, but you can find a lot of hard working and highly motivated people among bootcamp grads.

This is especially true for those who came from careers that involved a lot of hard work or manual labor. It's refreshing to work with people who enjoy getting things done and can appreciate how lucky we all are to be able to sit in air conditioned offices and type on computers all day. Contrast this with some of the perpetually disgruntled college grads I've seen lately who think we're taking advantage of them unless we pay them Google L6 compensation that they saw on levels.fyi .

I want to propose a new Bingo style game where you get points when AI researchers (or rather their marketing teams) throw around big words that nobody understands, like, er "understands" with abandon. But I can't be bothered.

I think you misread the comment. Or at least read it differently than I did. I read that most software engineers who work hard in their 20s and 30s can become millionaires at some point. You seem to have read it that they will become millionaires in their 20s or 30s, which I don't think is what it says. My reading is more that putting hard work in early in the career sets you on a path to pay off debts and start saving and also have the experience to get good jobs later, which allow you to save more. This meshes with my experience of the industry.
I am kind of surprised they didn't ransomware them all.

> This is obviously controversial, since we are thinking about how this could displace a large portion of developers.

It... couldn't, in net.

Tools which improve developer productivity increase the number of developers hired and the number of tasks for which it is worthwhile to employ them and the market clearing price for development work.

See, for examples, the whole history of the computing industry as we’ve added more layers of automation between “conceptual design for software” and “bit patterns in hardware implementing that conceptual design as concrete software”.

It might displace or disadvantage some developers in specific (though I doubt a large portion) by shifting the relative value of particular subskills within the set used in development, I suppose.

This seems like an odd take. I'd be interested in tangible data, but I'd be inclined to believe that most tech-affluent people are probably OK with QR codes being the norm, in general. It saves money, paper, and isn't really a hard step for anyone with a phone. In general the west is pretty pro-tech.
It's good business to keep your customers alive.
There's a good amount of discussion on this topic in "The Mythical Man-Month". The entire book is discussing the factors that affect development timeframes and it specifically addresses whether AI can speed it up (albeit from 1975, 1986 and 1995 viewpoints, and comparing progress between those points.)
I guess it depends on what we're calling "hard work". I think most software devs have already done lots of different types of hard work to get where they are. Going to school, doing intern work, finding a job and learning new languages, etc. It gets easier once you've established a career, but it takes significant work to get there.

But if we're defining it as "working lots of hours," then yeah, I agree, don't do that.
Huh, yeah the basic intent is the same as with Transparency (hadn't heard about that service until today) -- but its super simple to build out, and any company can easily do it...

There is a bad-ass product from Seagull Scientific, called "barTender" (as in Barcode Tender) -- which is free to use, and does any and all barcodes/QR codes - and label document design.

The only cost is a $500/$600 license for actually connecting it to a printer - but it makes it a breeze to create awesome labels, and print them out en-mass (like many thousands on the high speed printers)...

You can hook it up to a DB or a spreadsheet for pulling all your product labeling info easily to fields so they auto fill for the products you are printing.

Also, with using bitly - you also get a map of the geoip location of each scan - so you can see where interest is high geographically...

that’s not how DHCP works. in the context of a machine coming up/renewing a lease it’s basically a broadcast and anyone on the network can reply. the traffic needs to happen on the interface where you get the ip (guessing the main interface is also using dhcp)

I totally agree. If you want to get ahead, you need to “hack” the system by convincing people in the upper class that you belong there too. Working hard is a great way to signal that you’re middle class labor.
Note that "have access to a machine on the same subnet" really just means "can send traffic to the VM local network". In other words, partial compromises (ex: docker container, VM, chroot) that have access to this network are enough, as well as attacks that let you send traffic (ex: TURN server abuse)
Conflating social media bans with a government's ability to punish citizens over speech is utterly absurd. The real complaint here is that folks want to express their opinions on a site with the biggest reach, and if they are relegated to a smaller site (of which there are many) then they pretend their rights are being violated. This notion is itself as anti-free speech as it gets.

I'm not sure you're being fair.

I don't like the "STEM arrogance" bit (I wouldn't go so far as to say there is anything inherently arrogant about those in STEM), but I also don't think you can ever fairly judge the value of someone else's field.

You don't know why they went into the field -- I promise it's because they saw more value in it for themselves than other fields.

You don't why the school offers such programs, but I promise they wouldn't offer it if they didn't think there was some demand for it. (Programs that don't get students to enrol stop existing pretty quickly.)

So while I don't believe in "STEM arrogance" or "HN arrogance" (I'm here because I believe this is one of the least arrogant and most open-minded online communities I've ever encountered), I do believe it's arrogant to proclaim yourself the authority on whether someone else's field has value. Just because you don't see the value doesn't mean it's not there. It might even be more valuable than your own.

By the way, not sure if this was intentional on your part, but "maybe you should take some time to analyze where your feelings come from" is very much an idea that came from the humanities. So there's a certain amount of irony in your comments.

I agree that the vanilla JS snippets seem hilariously more complicated, but simplicity isn't everything.

In a corporate environment, if "I need to include jQuery as a dependency" involves asking another team how to set up custom deployment or whatever, and that is the difference of days between deploying a feature or not, then I'll definitely take the hit of 10 more SLoC vanilla JS.
> Why can’t we use...

You can. Nobody’s stopping you.

Perhaps you meant “they” instead of “we”.

Pet peeve.

I’ve found when you use the proper pronoun — ‘they’ in this case, unless you make concrete — it focuses your thinking.

That is, if you want to know why ‘they’ do something, you’ll naturally ask ‘them’.
But, when you use ‘we’, you’re more likely to just imagine your own solution.

Nothing personal.

‘We’ is the bane of my existence...

In order for this post to be somewhat relevant, I’ll add this...

Well I guess it depends on the current price of gas. I was playing around with ENS on Ropsten and I estimated it takes about 1/2 a million gas to buy an ENS domain. At current gas prices that's ~$30USD, but this time last year it would have been around $5. With the per year cost of the domain being $5 on ENS and About $12 on most of the registrars I looked at, it would have been better to go the ENS route (setting aside the gas cost of regularly updating the site, which I guess could also be avoided using IPNS, though it wasn't mentioned in the blog post so I am not sure about this).

> Putting the extra effort into a menial job isn't "a grueling workout", it's mortgaging your body and health for a price you'll regret in 20 years.

Maybe if you're working grueling construction jobs or consuming fast food and soda for 3 meals a day because you're too busy for anything else.

However, having worked in an industry with a lot of people who are on their feet and doing physical work throughout the day, I've come to realize that sedentary jobs like programming are a huge risk to long-term health. Sitting at a desk all day every day takes a toll on the body. The people who were active and moving about every day for decades are still in good physical health years later. The people who sit at desks all day (without compensating with exercise) accumulate a lot of health problems and weight gain if they're not careful.
