I’d say there is a large-ish list that could be written using the criteria Pierce used (i.e. amount of influence determined by citation). However, the field has really taken a more compartmentalized path in the years since this list was written. In 2022, I think the list would be much more compartmentalized as a result. This list was compiled 2 years after Pierce published ‘Types and Programming Languages’ and almost the whole list is cited in that work somewhere.

Years ago I worked as the project lead on a legacy enterprise web application that had been running for a number of years prior to my taking over. This was a large financial organisation, and we were governed by considerable amounts of regulation. The decree had been handed down from high up on the mountain that every year we were to submit the application to a security audit from <unnamed consulting bodyshop>, in addition to a more comprehensive pentest from actual professionals. The security audit consisted of the consultants running a series of scripted HTTP requests against our application checking for the existence of unsecured —or accidentally deployed— resources, such as /.git/... or /.svn/... or similar. The revolving cast of front-end developers who had contributed to the project had been guilty of numerous sins, but one galling sin in particular was that when a valid route could not be resolved by the Redux router, the front-end returned a '404' page with a '200' HTTP status. The first year this happened I ended up being buried under a mountain of paperwork having to explain to all kinds of pointy-haired people why we hadn't actually spectacularly failed our security audit when every kind of SVN artifact imaginable by the consulting firm was marked as existing.
Domain expertise is absolutely not a given. For example: I'd wager very few devs working on healthcare apps have any experience working in healthcare. Very few ad tech devs have ever run an ad campaign.

In regards to staying up to date on php. Surely best practices aren't changing very often? For myself, I look forward to some niceties coming in my tech stack, but I honestly care very little if literally anyone at my org is aware of them. We won't be retrofitting old code and using it in new code will come with all the little gritty interfacing with old code issues that always surface.

So why should I judge them on something that will have little or no impact on their day to day and when it does come around the people who do keep up are more than happy to show it off and evangelize?

Well, there is actually a shortage in specialists here but it is true that you can see a specialist in days at least if it is acute/urgent. (Usually your general practioner will give you a letter of referral and leave it to you to make an appointment but in urgent cases they might actually call a qualified colleague to make sure you get that appointment soon).

From what I've seen, you might not need to worry much about that. React codebases seem get rewritten every 3-4 years.
Yeah, "once", as in the first time, as in the "setup" process.

If you meant "setup" as in literally just playing a game you've already setup, then sure, that can be fairly quick, but still not as quick as Stadia was.
I don't "hate" TS. I understand how useful it can be. But I don't enjoy working with TS code - especially in large codebases which have been touched by many developers, each with their own understanding of how to use TS. When it comes to the world of professional web development it's up to me to adapt to the project's coding requirements, not the other way around.
Nobody wants an American style health care system except for Americans who have convinced themselves that the absolute buckets of money they feed into that horrific system have given them 'world leading' healthcare

The NHS isn't fit for purpose because it's been deliberately undermined by decades of right-wing government. Other nations such as Australia have walked a similar path
Literally just (Friday) had a discussion with my German colleague who passed a kidney stone on the day before (Thursday) in Germany.

All was fine until it came to the topic of his health insurance card: see, on the Thursday he was taken to the hospital they kept his health insurance card. When he went to his actual doctor the morning after they wouldn’t even talk to him unless he had it and getting it back from the people who took him to the hospital was taking too long; so he started the long and drawn out process of getting a temporary bit of paper mailed to his address from his insurance company stating that he had insurance.

The NHS, for all its faults and the weight of its underfunding: would never have a problem like that.

Casual is a nebulous term, but perhaps "widely accessible" is easier to evaluate. We can measure accessibility by games sold.

By sales, the highest-selling games are [1] Minecraft (now AAA), Grand Theft Auto V (AAA), EA Tetris, PUBG (before becoming freemium), Mario games, Pokémon, Terraria, and Red Dead Redemption 2.

So by sales, the vast majority of top-selling games are AAA. For what it's worth, I think similarly to you about preferring indie games to AAA games due to lack of time. But for most gamers and people in general, I don't think people even calculate the 40-60 hours per week. Most players probably just spend a lot of free time and weekend days gaming, and then the hours add up.

You do have a point that a large number of players play free-to-play games (e.g. League of Legends and many phone games), but there's a fair argument that AAA games are also targeted at "casual players," by evidence of their wide popularity in terms of massive sales numbers.

Anecdata: i know of somebody who had a suspected stroke. waiting times to get an MRI scan was weeks long. 8 hour waits in A&E is considered normal and Ambulances often don't show up on time. Getting an appointment with any kind of specialist within a reasonable time frame is flat out impossible in lots of cases.

The NHS when it works is wonderful, but at the moment it's in deep crisis. I have no doubt they waste tremendous amounts of money. If done properly privatisation and deregulation could just save it.

(Edit: granted the American system is awful, but it's very disingenuous of this article to pretend the NHS as it stands is much better.)

He may be right with the general idea, but the point was that his phrasing needs some serious work. The classic argument is really that they should be censored so they can't easily organise and kill us. If he doesn't say that, I don't know if he realises what stakes he's talking about. (he probably does, but... say it)

I'm annoyed, because there are lots of people who don't realise this is literally about survival for others, not just about free speech ideas.

Not directed at you specifically, but just a reminder for anyone who hasn’t been burned by it yet: floating point addition is not associative. (a+b)+c != a+(b+c). It’s close, but if you’re not careful you can get bad results where the accumulated small errors turn into wrong answers.
> You had to buy games at real $40-$60 prices but you could only play them through this limited service.

sigh As a gamer and actual Stadia user this is not a complete or fair depiction. Like almost every other cloud/gaming service including Xbox etc. Stadia had a "Pro" subscription model which have you access to dozens (hundreds?) of games.

Furthermore "you could only play them through this limited service" is exactly the same model as every other gaming service!
Remember that the UK also has a private healthcare system — everyone pays for the public option, but if you have a lot of money you can get expensive care.

The thing is that British people pretty much uniformally reject private healthcare, because they don’t think you should pay for something as basic as healthcare.

Instead the big popular drive is to make the NHS better (even though the current government is actively trying to make it worse).
I think I still prefer them? Projects with descriptive names, given time, will evolve and scope creep until the name becomes more misleading than descriptive.

I agree they shouldn't if its outside working time, but they can and should fire you for being an asshat at work.

Also, sounds like you think all 'woke activists' everywhere are always destructive. Which is an interesting take. At what point does someone cross the line to become an inherently destructive 'woke' person?
Doesn't deemphasizing estimates acknowledge and imply that the estimate is delivering whatever the boss (I mean, Product Owner) wants, when they want it? Possibly with the ineffective filter of bullying and misleading the team into some imprudent commitment instead of simply ordering?

For example, between 2011 and 2020 the Product Backlog items lost the estimate: it means that if that feature is late it is the fault of a struggling developer, not of a superficial planner.
Lack of authonomy is an inherent trait of most jobs, including coding. (I mean, as a coder, you basically have an infinite queue of tickets to implement, and you have little to none say about what's in them in the first place. That's your work life.) Just because something is ubiquitous doesn't mean that it's healthy or even "normal" and that people should just "grow up" and accept it. Let's just take it for what it is - a way to make meaningful amounts of money, at the cost of mental health and other vital aspects of being human - just like most jobs are (only, in most jobs, the amount of money aren't even that good).
Correcto. Also - what a therapist can be good at varies. They might be really good at zoning in on specific traumas but absolute dogshit at getting you over your general malaise.

I went to a therapist because I started having very obvious anxiety attacks (and my life sucked generally) but I couldn’t pinpoint the reason down. They were able to immediately pinpoint the source of the anxiety attacks (abandonment issue) and I stopped having them immediately cause that’s all I needed to hear to get over it.

But when it came to trying to get over my chronic stress and malaise and overall shitty life/lifestyle? They had nothing. They were basically like - “well you are with the wrong partner, you were born poor, and you’re trying to live in the most expensive place in the world and do it on single income. Yeah - you’re gonna fucking suffer. Sorry I have literally no solutions except move away and give up - which obviously does nothing for you because you’d never be here if you were the type of person to ever give up career wise or in relationships.”

It was like talking to a brick wall for those issues. Great for specific trauma problems - terrible for anything more ambiguous. Which - to be fair - I really don’t think any therapist could solve. It’s why I don’t think I’ll ever go back. It doesn’t seem solvable by wishful thinking.
Try building a search engine today. The barriers to entry are much harder.

I’ve often heard the saying how “everything easy has already been invented” and that it’s so much harder today to invent new things.

I think it’s a fallacy. Things were just as hard in the past.

I owned an ISP in 1998 and there were plenty of search engines at the time. Google invented something unique and innovative and they were rewarded tremendously for it. There were literally hundreds of other companies trying to do the same thing but Google was better. If it was low hanging fruit then Hotbot or any of the other major players could’ve done it.

> so he started the long and drawn out process of getting a temporary bit of paper mailed to his address from his insurance company stating that he had insurance.

It happened to me that I saw a doctor and had forgotten to bring my health insurance card. I was then required to show it within (I think) ten days or be charged the cost of the visit myself.

All it took to fix that later that day was to log into the website of my health insurer, download said document as pdf and mail it to the doctor's office.

It might not be as simple as you might like but it does not have to be as bad as their experience was.

Standalone headsets (like Meta Quest line) are much more interesting then PCVR which requires beefy PC, base stations and lot of cables and setting up.

Paying $1000+ for a standalone headset might sound too ridiculous but when you understand that it is the whole computer, it is much more acceptable.

Perhaps you're oblivious to the myriad of ways in which Americans are denied/discouraged from access to health care under a profit-driven system, whether it be denied claims, or in my case, HMOs trying to direct you to doctors who are not seeing new patients.
Does that mean seeing a GP for anything? Here in Wisconsin you can walk into an "urgent care" clinic if you're insured, and be seen by the doctor on staff right away. But appointments with an actual date and time are typically booked out several weeks. Likewise for any kind of specialist or an MRI.
You are taking about general trust into brand. That's not what the trust means in this context.

We are talking about trust for Google to launch a new product or service. It's not worth to users nor businesses to direct any money or effort into anything new Google makes because it's not for long.

Google simply can't be trusted to do that.

You’re right, but only symbolically so.

Sweden walked this same path and is deeply deeply suffering the privatisation.

Doctors are nowhere to be seen, waiting times are absolutely impossible to work with. You basically have to beg to see a doctor and even then they will likely decline you unless you’re in pain.

It’s ridiculous. It can be directly attributed to the privatisation of the underlying services.

Yes. Let's work around the moral panic that some people might enjoy tripping for a few hours under medical recommendation and supervision by not even investigating whether existing psychedelics are a viable treatment, and instead assuming that the trip needs to be removed.

It would be one thing if psychedelic treatment for mental health were widespread and the time off from work or the experience was distressing to patients. But we've skipped step one there, and it has absolutely nothing to do with how unprofitable effective psilocybin, ketamine or LSD treatments would be.
What's that research going to be used for? Will it become of the basis of policy that says 'only asians are allowed to enter the power lifting club', 'only east africans on the running team', 'only white land owning men are allowed to vote'.
That's my point. It's hard and apparently nobody else is capable of it, even with most of the work done for them.
I am not claiming that techies/economists are a homogenous group. Many of them understand the humanities well; more still reject the idea of an inherent separation between these and the hard sciences. The same is true of some of the more humanities oriented persons, in a mirror image. Every group has its open-minded and close-minded individuals.

The problem isn't Taleb specifically. As it happens, I do like his books quite a bit. He just happens to be a common figure in the problem we are describing here. What is happening is that there is a strong trend in some parts of the tech and science crowd to apply a halo effect to themselves and to reject certain sources of knowledge on account of it. If this halo did not exist, Taleb might not have been the target of obsession because his audience would not have fallen into the belief that they could apply models to everything and call it a day in the first place.

It's true that we could be kinder to people such as the blog post author, and suggest more things to read. But at the same time, reading is not sufficient and a booster shot of self-awareness and humility is needed to move past the halo. To the author's credit, he does write about his rejection of certain types of scientism, but moving past viewing the non-STEM world through a filter is necessary and that in itself requires a shift that is more easily attained by direct confrontation such as what the GP attempted rather than reading your way out of it over a period of years.

Besides, the tech crowd won't be the ones suffering from their way of thinking: they'll have enough capital and surplus to fall back on. It's the rest of the population that is at the mercy of FAANGs and other assorted "move fast and break things" aficionados.

I really need to emphasize how wrong this is. Your employer definitely doesn’t need you unless you’re working for an exceptionally small company/org where you can hold them hostage/ransom.

You are dime a dozen in the real world. The only reason you’ll ever get a sense that they “need you” is because you are being chronically underpaid and you are so incredibly cheap that just talking to you for 30 minutes to do X is way more efficient than paying you the 3x you’re worth.
