>And I think you would find, if you are lucky, that a competent European junior-ish developer would not get out of bed for less than 60k Euros (65k USD), a more senior developer would demand more.

You realize that 60k usd after tax is 240k PLN which is like 6.6 times minimal wage?

This is good cash, not top, but good.

Junior people earn 36-120k PLN, so half of that.
Stuart Semple is kinda known for pulling stunts like this.

Whenever Vantablack was released to the world, the artist Anish Kapoor got exclusive artistry license rights for the pigment. Semple was rather upset about it, so he then made a pigment called "Pinkest Pink" and one of the terms and conditions of buying it is that you agree to never share it was Kapoor.

I don't know what his intention is with this project, but I'm sure it'll have an interesting outcome.

Keynote is surprisingly good for this, and I’ve used it for animated data flow visualizations in the past.

While I like the idea of something like anime.js and think it raises the ceiling on what’s possible, I’d still probably start with something like keynote just to get the idea out of my head and into a format I can validate before going into code.
The submitter was following the usual practice of using the article's title, so seem a bit harsh. Perhaps someone could repost with the title "Tolmasky proposes Google's removal from W3C", then the flaggers (who I suspect may have other, more local motivation) wouldn't have that cover.

It has 4 fairly common ingredients and only needs a couple of days to create. You can be sure that China will make a spreadsheet with all possible combinations of synthesis and farm them out to their Universities for rapid development... and then they start hunting for the 'ideal' version... flexible, fast to synthesize etc.

The Manhattan project and moon landings happened because the US spent a significant % of it's GDP on the project. We might have Fusion already if they repeated it...

Right, the page 28 of this article mentions "On some benchmarks, task-general models (not explicitly trained to perform a task) surpass prior state-of-the-art performance held by a task-specific model" but they don't provide data for fine-tuning of their very large models:

> developers will need to explain why they're using certain APIs.

Great! I just hope the same will be introduced on Android. From the very beginning of the smartphones history, I immediately noticed apps put pointless requirements to be given permission for everything and I wanted such a policy to exist. No permission besides those strictly necessary to fulfill the very function of the app should ever be given or even asked for.

Nevertheless I'm afraid such clauses increase the power of the vendors like Apple to fight the apps which do whatever they hate even if that is what the user wants.

That's just absolutely unnecessary nitpicking.
We typically use programmer, developer, or software engineer as synonyms as a whole, but I tend to view those titles as more junior/intermediate/senior.

A programmer can program code good enough, but that doesn't mean they are good at solving the goals business requires and communicating it.

A developer can program and develop a small enhancement with good communication. Sometimes can also break things down so other developers or programmers can work on it to.

An engineer an orchestrate an entire new project and can identify multiple areas where developers and programmers can be involved. A good engineer will do so while maintaining great communication with the users to ensure they get what they want.

An architect is someone who comes up with a plan to build something without any real care about budget, labor costs, or labor skills - both in software and in buildings.
Are there any common benchmarks for this, preferably pre-packaged as a container?

Edit: Point being that if you can point someone towards a container or simple to build benchmark like that it becomes infinitely more likely that people will run it on some hardware compared to "Yeah I guess if someone could develop a benchmark and then also happen to have access to a diverse set of hardware to run it on". The easier it is to run a benchmark the more results are going to be floating around (regardless of if it's a good benchmark, Cinebench and Crystaldiskmark would be prime examples of this).
CentOS Stream actually hasn't changed at all, it's the availablity of RHEL source RPMs which changed (only for the customers who get the binaries). CentOS Stream is developed completely in the open, with open build systems, universal access to sources etc. Alma recently announced that they'll change from rebuilding RHEL to rebuilding CentOS Stream, and Red Hat is quite happy with this since it means there are more eyes finding and fixing bugs before they get into RHEL, and having the nice side effect of contributing to upstream communities since changes in CS must be upstream first.
This is a decent article, but for me the best discussion on parelleism in Python is Raymond Hettinger's talk "Keynote on Concurrency, PyBay 2017" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv25Dwe84g0

It includes a very important observation that lots of problems are small enough that they can be solved with a single CPU core, and that lots of problems are so big you need full on Cloud Computing Distributed Processing with effectively unlimited number of cores, and there are relatively few problems that are too big for 1 core but can be made tractable by going up to around 10 cores. (This is the "Martelli Model of Scalability")

Also this...

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use parallelism."

Couldn't agree more.

I had colleagues with 20+ years of industry experience who couldn't communicate efficiently, extending every short call to 1h+ meetings, require long and recurring discussions for the smallest details, or define tickets that always had to be reworked. The same people were often off by magnitudes with their estimates and reluctant to suggestions to improvements in their tooling (i.e. linter plugins for their IDE when necessary).

On the other hand, I had teammates with ~5 years of industry experience who outpaced the whole team, delivered optimal quality, were empathic, held workshops for other devs, and still had enough time/power to work on things like refactors.

In (Brazilian) Portuguese software engineers are usually graded Júnior, Pleno, or Sênior, where "Pleno" means something like "full". It is used for these intermediary situations where neither Junior or Senior applies.
This seem pretty simple to me. Dropbox opens a role. They get 1000 applications. They hire one person. 999 people post on forums that they're getting rejected everywhere they apply.

Going more macro, there are 1000 people out of work applying to every job. There are only 100 jobs open across all companies. The same 1000 people apply to all of them, only 100 get hired. 900 people post on forums they can't get a job.

This doesn't need to be a conspiracy theory. If there are fewer jobs than there were last year (particularly in sectors like junior dev and FE eng) there are going to be people who don't get hired.
The languages don't directly influence the aesthetics. Rather, there's a culture that precedes a language, and the audience it attracts, and it defines the marketing of that language, among other things. Of course, there's always interaction and mutual feedback. But I'm just saying I don't see this as the high order bit.

In the case of Ruby, in fact the culture didn't come from Ruby, but Ruby on Rails, which marketed almost exclusively to non-programmers. "Classic" programmers suck at design.
> yes recruiters, this 100% works, we won't use you if you're shit regardless but we'll 100% entertain looking at your candidates

Maybe 99%. This doesn't work on me. Any swag I am sent from a recruiter gets handed to someone else. I turn down dinner and drinks because I feel like I'm being manipulated. The harder a vendor or recruiter pushes here, the more uneasy I feel about using them. I don't want to hang out with people who only want to be around me so I can give them something.

Edit: Sadly, I think this doesn't help me from the perspective of being recruited, but I can't help not being comfortable playing this game.

Let me guess, you're one of those people who think nitpicking on every small thing leads to "quality" code?
You mean she is a Russian. Being a Russian implies that if you want to stay alive as a highly visible Russian that you are pro-Putin, regardless of how you really feel. If you don't then there is a good chance that you will be declared a foreign agent and end up in jail or dead. The realities of living in present day Russia should not be underestimated.

Have a look at Zemfira, another Russian who did speak out against Putin. And Zemfira is a lot more popular than Elbakyan is in Russia. That said I have no evidence one way or another what Elbakyans real position is on any of this but I'd be careful to judge, especially for someone who is in the crosshairs of many powerful and wealthy organizations.

As for Stalin: there are no excuses for Stalins wrongs. And yet, you'd be surprised how many Russians to this date revere him. This along the lines of 'he was a bastard, but at least he was our bastard'. He kept Hitler at bay on the Eastern front (at massive cost in lives) and that alone makes him a hero in the eyes of many in Russia. In that sense he has some of the same feelings associated with his person that for instance Churchill in the UK has or Roosevelt and Truman in the United States. From a Western point of view any appreciation for Stalin is likely moderated by what happened during the cold war but from a Russian POV, especially with the massive propaganda machine there you have to contend with a severely distorted image.

This is very complex and Russians (also those in exile) are having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that this time around they are the bad guys. It's obvious to me and to you but patriotism is a weird force that can cause all kinds of cognitive dissonance to be suppressed and for people to stop seeing clearly. Germans are still struggling with this today (to some extent, but hopefully less every year) and I suspect that Russians will have similar problems for many decades to come. Ukraine will be rebuilt but Russia will be a pariah state without a chance of parole and you can expect people inside Russia to be living in a state of denial and confusion for long after this is over.

The company I worked for already had an exclusive contract with the recruiting agency.

We weren’t going to hire contractors outside of that agency.

Heck, my manager asked me did I know someone with the same skillset I had, I had a friend who was looking for work and asked for a rate of $80/hour. They wouldn’t hire them directly. I had to negotiate with the recruiter and my manager until we also settled on paying the agency $120/hour to hire my friend so he could get $80.

No my manager also wasn’t responsible for choosing the agency. That was chosen on higher levels.

"Let's invest money to continue enhancing existing solutions, which are free and open for all" sounds just so much less exciting than "we are going to end Adobe with $235k from our backers".
What you're discussing has little to do with seniority - those are some personality traits that are great to have, but you either have it in you or not - people who are bad at explaining stuff will usually stay bad at it for the rest of life (but can still be fantastic in e.g. architecting things).

Being a senior dev is IMHO much simpler. It's all about being able to solve problems independently, without needing supervision, guidance or tutoring. If you can pass to a dev some business requirement, and know that they'll return with an optimal solution implementation, you've got yourself a true senior dev.

I was pretty confused what it is too and then I loved it.

It's debian plus some shell trickery and CLI tools that let you configure debian and debian packages as a router from one large config tree using neat CLI tools (that support commit/rollback).

Normally you'd need iptables, a separate DNS package, DHCP server, etc etc to set up a router, with VyOS you just change VyOS config and it configures normal debian packages for you.

Plus everything is exhaustively tested and configs are reverse compatible, hiding all breaking changes underneath.

It's super neat and it works perfectly on a £100 fanless Celeron J4125 box from Aliexpress as a home router, routing and shaping 1gbit without breaking a sweat and with deeply sub-ms delay.
It’s such perfect condition I have to wonder if they bought a cabinet then made up a faked story about finding it out on the curb outside as trash for clicks.

> microservices are essential at any large company

There in lies the rub, the majority of engineers don't work at companies that need the kind of scale that Facebook has.

The majority of us work at smaller shops that can get by fine without all the overhead that microservices introduce. The problem that I see is that there are to many folks not weighing the pros and cons of the architectural decisions they are making, and are just joining the cargo cult.
People went full monoliths to full microservices.

The same people are now saying creating microservices is a sign of incompetence and the smart thing to do is create monoliths.

But not to sound ridiculous, they bring a spin to it: they now say they create modules within the monolith.

Software engineering is like fashion. It goes full circle every X years.

We should replace the term ‘trim fat’ with ‘cut flesh’ because it’s ridiculous and demonstrably wrong IME to assume management knows which resources are fat and which resources are actually crucial muscle that they would be (funnily) forced to re-hire for the sake of the health of the business.

I dislike Adobe more than most people and feel more strongly than most that it's essential we have viable alternatives.

But the whole way this has gone about seems incredibly naive both to the realities of building piece of software like that and not to mention just trying to make the "Open Office" to Adobes "MS Office" is really shortsighted considering what modern tools look like.

Feel the ultimate end of this is running out of money probably with barely a prototype and causing a lot of bad blood with the artists and illustrators who trusted him with their money, also naive to how much this stuff actually costs when the founder can't create anything towards the goal themselves.

Oh I also notice they fell into amateur crowdfunding trap of offering merch for a tier as low as £129. Getting those produced will cost at least £30 each for only 320 of them, shipping anywhere in the world, hoodies are heavy and bulky can go up to £50, the time/money wasted organizing the logistics of it isn't worth it. By the end of it you've probably lost money.
