The article started really strong and I believe the point about React and knock-off frameworks not evolving to really solve challenges modern web applications face is good and worth exploring.

Then it took an awkward and very long detour into gushing over Apple design.

And it "circled back" to a rant that seemed to trivialize things like collaborative editing and undo/redo like they were generically solved problems in the past. No, collaborative editing was not a solved problem 20 years ago. It's an evolving space with recent advancements in the CRDT space from Yjs and Automerge really opening things up.

Started really good but I was hoping it would have ended up with an analysis of the gap between where React (and browsers in general) are currently and where it ought to be; with some ideas around how to cross the gap.

Physical items have geographic price differences due in part to transportation costs. If the point is to lower worldwide oil prices, the USA government should stockpile oil closer to China. I'm not recommending USA operate a CN Military Oil Reserve.
I'm weary of repeating myself, but do so nonetheless, since I can't know if you have read my former comments about this, or not.

So, long story short: growing up more or less disinterested in TV, because small B&W only at home, having more fun playing with my classmates in the forest and so on, I've been mostly unimpressed with TDF and similar. Even on larger color-tv when at home of some of classmates. You know why? Because I couldn't afford expensive bicycles, had no cars following me with spares, which in turn required maximum attention of my driving, and lastly I did not dope ;-> Oh, and running marathons instead if temporary lack of funds required waiting until I could repair my bicycle, because there was always something to fix/exchange, at least the way I've driven. Which came up to 300km a day, not every day, but often. Which in turn I didn't even notice, because I just didn't care about trip distance, instead being fixated on pushing the needle of the tachometer to the right as often and as long as possible :-) My neighbour noticed instead, and couldn't believe it. This went on for years, at least during school times, then went down a little because of real life constraints like work, time, etc.

So TDF and the likes just made me think: So what?

But still 100km is nothing special at all, and 50km are nothing. 160km I do notice, but hey, 3-speed from 1985, who cares? :-) Oh, and I drive during all weather, even on ice, but that is rare.

I am neither some hulk, nor some doped bicyling celebrity. Just fit, born in 1969, 181cm tall, and usually weighing somewhere between 81 to 85kg(83 atm).

Oh, and this 3-speed bicycle from about 1985 I'm speaking of I bought used for 150€ in 2005, which the shop keeper has shown me, after I've been unsatisfied with the 100eds of trash bikes on display, asking for something 'usable' and 'normal' instead. They just aren't built like that anymore!

I think OP was perfectly willing to acknowledge these other use cases:

> Crypto speculation is a vast and fast-growing market, while other use cases are small.

Simply put, cryptocurrency has turned itself into a side-pot for disillusioned and desperate investors. The 'dream' that you're being sold is the same one we pondered 10 years ago - if we add enough bureaucracy, a democratically-controlled currency is feasible!

Time has proven this wrong. Every attempt at making the '15th competing standard' ends the same way. Nobody is putting their money in cryptocurrency, and arbitrary architectural rehashes like the Ethereum Merge isn't going to drive adoption.

I find the “I won’t take less than $X or else I’ll stay unemployed” to be kind of weird as a career planning strategy. If there is an under-supply of senior talent, everyone accepts and expects that the clearing salary for those roles will go up. Yet, if there’s an over-supply, many people seem unable to extrapolate from the previous.
It's a pointless strawman anyway. He's clearly not the one making the decisions, so it doesn't matter if he's sane or not. A big chunk of his cabinet is equal to Obama's as well. And before you come in with "but Trump did X". Yes, Trump was an idiot as well. Different people can be morons at the same time.

Yup.
Have you considered that capitalism and communism are economic systems that are in a sense Turing complete, i.e. they can describe the exact same arbitrary economic phenomena

And therefore what you have described is in fact communism but in a language that is subjectively more palatable ?
I think good engineers (critical thinkers + goal-oriented problem solvers) usually give up and find a better tool (i.e. without an blockchain) for the job after not too long.

There is similarly no shortage of “architecture astronauts,” and whether the greed fuels the use of the wrong tool or vice versa — it probably doesn’t matter in the end.

With the recent Ethereum PoW -> PoS move, I suspect there isn't much profit to be had for anyone except large ASIC farms, so my prediction is a bunch of people are currently discovering the crypto is too corporate for them.

As for the substance of the complaints, yes any unregulated international industry is going to be an ongoing scam. That won't change. We've seen what proud names like HSBC or any other international banking corporation gets up to - law means little, crooked schemes are common. Take away the government choke-point and all the classic schemes will come back.

But people are sorely underestimating how much long term good is going to get driven by this market. It is always going to be one step from collapse, and in 20 years we're going to do a compare and contrast to traditional international banking and discover crypto is just better. Bitcoin has so far weathered rising interest rates far better than I predicted and is looking like quite an acceptable asset for a diversified portfolio. The next crisis is upon us and the governments of the world are going to start haircutting accounts if inflation isn't robbing people of enough money. International capital flows are at risk with all this strife breaking out.

They can't stop crypto, at this point it is clearly here to stay. It is going to be transformative and probably for the better. No-one likes capitalism either and look how much wealth that ended up creating - people only stopped complaining after the wealth creation dismantled and humiliated all the competition. The use cases for crypto is circumventing regulation and sure all the authoritarians can complain, but it'll be an embarrassment to see how much wealth that will create in time. Bad luck if you want tight government control on who I can send money to, it isn't technically feasible any more. You'll have to physically stop me.
If he's anything like me, it's just the muscle memory part. My understanding of JavaScript grew basically alongside the evolution of the Chrome DevTools, so there's quite a lot of subconscious navigation that just feels more intuitively, to me, in Chrome.

It's also a psychological bond to a certain extent, having relied on them during stressful times in my career... before that I had only FireBug and that served a similar purpose but didn't teach me quite as well and did never reach the status of "if the Chrome Devtools are open, I can understand what's going on here"-sense of security & confidence.
Isn’t it their stated goal to “solve” the major “problem” of the environmental impact of meat production?

In a way, it’s like the debunked story of the expensive NASA space pen versus the cheap cosmonaut pencil.

Of course, the facts of that story are that private investment, not government spending, came up with an advanced solution, and that pencils really were a potential problem in spacecraft due to fragmentation and flammability. In popular perception, though, the original false story remains very convincing.

Not many of us are going to space regularly. Cheap pencils and pens own the market that matters.

If a fake meat company wants to make a meaningful difference on the environment, they need to cut the cost sharply and make something that can take the mass market.
The simulator can only handle so many disasters at once; the Ukraine fiasco is diverting a bunch of processor time and so something had to be cut.

Owning the only grocery store in town doesn't sound like a risky business model compared to the existing and apparently de-risked "only grocery store in town" business model you'd be paying for.
Three things:

1. Practice talking out loud, possibly in front of a mirror. Hear the sounds of the words as they leave your mouth. Speech is a function of motor processing that can be improved with practice like any other muscle memory.

2. There is a time aspect to speech, like music. Once speech has left your mouth in front of an audience you cannot take it back. It is spent, like time. Think about it like plumbing, like the words are sewage. Your mind runs about 2.5x faster than your mouth. Stay calm and be very deliberate with each of your words. If your mind runs out of control the words cannot escape fast enough and things get backed up. Keep a slow constant rhythm just to get your words out perfectly. Once you master confidence with your speech your faster mind allows you to think ahead to the next wonderful thoughts while your mouth is speaking.

3. Use your education to influence your spike vocabulary. This sounds obvious, but it isn’t. You must reinforce your spoken words with the strengths of your advanced writing skills to ensure your statements are clear, concise, and logically connected. This takes practice and it all comes down to confidence.
We all live in our own world of the mind. Everything is subjective. What traps us is our fear of uncomfortable feelings. You don't need to run from or reject these feelings though. Try being open and accepting. Explore your own conditioning and feelings. It can't hurt you but if you 100% accept your feelings you are free.
When you feel something uncomfortable try just sitting as still, quiet and relaxed and just let it happen. See if you can find what it is about it that is bad or should be rejected. I think you'll find that it's not inherently bad it's just a different feelings. But, if you don't run from your feelings and you accept them the thoughts and feelings that brought them up become irrelevant because, after all, this is 100% subjective. Nothing "matters". Nothings is "important". You don't "need" anything.
Our conditioning tells us we need things and the uncomfortable feelings enforce that believe.
Free yourself by doing ... nothing. Just accept it as it is :)

Of course it’s the CIA’s choice. There is no law saying that the CIA can’t hire someone who has broken the law. Are jaywalkers banned from being hired by the CIA too? It’s their choice to determine their self-defeating hiring requirements.
As a 61 year old programmer, that knew this is what I would be doing since my first exposure as a junior in high school, I can say his insights aren't too bad. But 20 more years on, things start to hit harder. My best advice is to learn to coach, even if you aren't in a coaching role. Find that young 10x team member and teach them the subtleties of the abstractions that make a difference. Don't be offended when they rewrite your code to their way of thinking so long as it did not obfuscate the lesson, that's how they will learn.
Oh and most of the org can only barely abstractly relate to the challenges & difficulties you face.

Really good short article. This is valuable like heck & grounds the whole experience, shares & makes known one of it's widest aspects.

Conversely all the challenges are part of why coding is fun too. Faced with a million rough & pointy ways for things to go wrong, for them to be difficult or to come together poorly, we often eek out something reasonably elegant and capable. We overcome. We make.
so, you think they could have achieved a more impressive result by choosing a better scope of your choice? you should let them know. they are probably already waiting for your opinion!
> (...) with climate change days of extreme temperatures in both directions (...)

This sort of take is unwise. It makes zero sense to invest today in domestic systems with the expectation that at some point in the future there will be extreme events a hand full of times throughout the year. The benefit of shaving a fraction of a percent from the baseline outweighs multipercent gains of hypothetical extreme events that happen a few times a year.
I never ever coded 14 hours a day except in competitive programming. Doing it at work would be insane.
It’s relevant in terms of there being a skilled developer pool to hire from. There are exceptions, but the vast majority of software technologies that have been success have done so by being accessible to hobbiests to install locally, even if that’s not their primary use case.
This is exactly what I've found. My employer relies on my experience and values my opinions as much as they value my actual code out put.
In C++ string literals are const. In C they are non-const, but modifyng them is undefined behavior regardless.

In cabin medical audio jacks [2] are the likely explanation, but it would be easy to inspect those:

* Unless someone had made dongle that once inserted looked like the same plugs, but raised enough to hide the dongle and match the color/texture of the surrounding plastic. The fake plugs on the outside would not even need to be functional and the device could be set to start on a delay, so whoever is placing them is not physically on the flight when it starts. It could even have an accelerometer to turn on after take-off and turn off on landing. If the person intentionally booked a seat at end of the plane, very likely they could easily add it when everyone is trying to leave the plane.

I have worked on ASICs, FPGAs, compilers, routers, clusters, servers, websites and mobile apps. But I would not describe myself as a "full-stack developer". To me that implies a very specific thing - a RDBMS backend coupled to heavyweight javascript framework frontend.

Unfortunately that is pretty much C++ as it still gets taught in many places.
I feel like it's only a psychological chasm because ad-supported content exists at all. If such sites did not exist, I feel like people might have to pay more, they would be more choosy, but then sites would also have to really put more effort into their content. That would eliminate the phenomenon of a thousand sites writing an SEO-farmed article on every possible topic imaginable, and bring it back to 1-2 sites that really put in effort because they care about the topic. Honestly I think the internet would suffer a bit for the first little bit but it would actually stabilize into something a lot more useful.

If there is anything I have learned in life so far (I am close to 50), it is that my first gut feeling when meeting someone irl is pretty much spot on. I have ignored this feeling when it was negative and it never worked and I have ignored this feeling when it was positive and wasted time over it. I seem to have a solid gut feeling about people (but only after talking in person; it somehow doesn’t translate to zoom or something) enough to have people asking me to go into meeting with them and be a fly on the wall to get a feel. They usually ignore what I say but I have not often been wrong; did lose a lot of money and time ignoring it.

Tldr; yes, trust it

> Lots of companies only want young people

The older I get, the more I think it is not the company itself but middle-managers.

Managers with an authoritarian streak will have trouble handling experienced developers that objects to non-optimal designs and processes.

It is much easier for such a manager to handle young naïve developers that gladly accept to work 5 times as many hours as a good design needs.

Software don't work well with an "do as I say, no matter how stupid it is" approach. I think that is why Silicon Valley (and Europe) has much greater success writing software than asia/India.

The magic, curiosity and joy I had also faded for me once. Like you say, much of my jobs included lots of plumbing. For work the elegant solutions that gave me joy would be seen as anti-patterns. The languages I enjoy would scuffed at as being relics. The problems I enjoy seen as useless because there are already solved in bloated over complex enterprise libraries.

When I would program for myself in the weekend I wanted to work on problems that would look good on my CV. Focus on techniques and languages that will be beneficial for my carrier. Soon also my hobby coding became a lot less enjoyable.

I then decided to seperate my hobby and carrier. In my spare time I started working on the things that fascinated me. Implementing operating systems, creating software rendered 3d engines, compilers etc. All from scratch. All in my favorite language (which is Common Lisp for me). Not caring if it would bring me money once, not worrying if anybody would use it or wanting to put it on my CV once. The only reason that is to enjoy it.

Straight away the magic I felt as a kid about computers came back in full strength. It hasn't faded since. And the funny thing... I started enjoying my enterprisy work also again. Already getting my coding passion fix in another way I could appreciate my work and the way of working for what it is.
I think it was pretty clear from context which was meant.

It's interesting that one can take away radically different things from a technical career.

For instance, at around the same age, I much prefer pair programming ; try to avoid remote work ; have little time for drawn-out technical discussions ; etc.

I wonder how much of these takeaways are career-path-dependent and how much are due to innate personality traits.

I keep hearing this. I’m 48 and between the time I was 34 and 46, bumping around in your standard enterprise corp dev jobs, I found jobs relatively quickly - the shortest time was 4 days from starting to look to having a job (corp dev at the time a F10 non tech company), the longest being two weeks. Every time besides the first, I was juggling multiple opportunities and had three offers. I change jobs 5 times during that time period.

In hindsight, until the last two in 2016 and 2018 they were just journeyman CRUD jobs with the last two being hands on dev lead and de facto “cloud architect” respectively.

I just got my first job in $BigTech at 46 two years ago. It’s not officially a “software engineering job”. But for all intents and purposes I’m doing the same type of work I did at the last couple of jobs - gathering requirements, presentations, development, and a shit ton of yaml, HCL, PowerPoint slides, and diagrams.

I’m sure at 48, I could contact my network of former coworkers, managers, recruiters and someone would give me a job even if it were just a standard .Net journeyman developer again.

If you’re still randomly submitting your resume to an ATS trying to prove yourself to companies by reversing binary trees on whiteboards while juggling bowling balls and riding a unicycle on a tightrope, you’re doing it wrong at 40+ years old.
