I've found over the years that Martin Fowler blogs about things the C-Suite is already doing at their companies, and they use this as validation for their choices. This in turn has a virtuous cycle of keeping him popular.

Almost everything he hawks causes misery for software developers, like his whole multi-year spin for Microservices, he's turned refactoring into a fetish (honestly there are people at my dayjob who have been "refactoring" the entire 3 years i've been here) and now hes blogged multiple times about platform teams - which - having been on one - don't work. I see him as a very damaging character.

Well intentioned, i'm sure, but I don't think he has good ideas.

This is a novel insight that the article doesn’t touch on.

It’s absolutely a class indicator. You could order a steak well done at The Factory and you’d fit right in. It fits in with people who have a concept of “fine dining”, which they may not go to much but understand what it means. In other circles in big cities, fine dining is equally rare but spending $75-150/pp at a “casual” (meaning no tablecloth) restaurant is normal. $100 for casual dining is the exact opposite of what The Factory is about.
Be careful when batch applying. My company, for example, requires applicants to repeat a code word in the email subject line. Last time we had an opening, it was clearly stated in the job description, yet 90+% of applicants didn't do it. We then sorted them onto the same pile as those guys from India that booked a CV spamming service, meaning no human ever looked at the CVs of people who didn't follow this simple request.

I quite like containers to limit/reserve the ram/cpu use for certain processes. For example imagine a tiny service used by Few concurrent users that needs a SQL db, a app server, and a reverse proxy (For ssl/caching) in front. I'm quite happy to put stuff like this on a tiny VM with 1vCPU and 1GB RAM. Mnthly cost ~$5 for compute. I typically reserve/limit 64MB/128MB for nginx, 384mb/512mb for mariadb, and 256mb/384mb for the app server (PHP etc).Also I have cpu share reservation/limits too. Of course it requires tuning the configs, but it runs great(verified with load testing and actual use). If you put the same software on the same host with no reservations/limits there are situations where latencies grow a lot or the whole thing freezes because one component consumes too much resources. If anyone knows any non-container lie overhead ways to partition a single vcpu and a gig of ram like this I'd be interested to hear about it.

I find it fascinating yet sad that some people have such adverse opinions toward whole generations, essentially. Why such animosity?
This is great!

Also following this approach, so much liberating not to have "all these dependencies", and having to learn them.

Been writing vanilla css, html, js, (and sometimes using static site generators) to help split the logic between `/content` (markdown, org, txt, json) and `/assets` (js,css,pdf).

When all this is plugged to git, is deployed/published with CI/CD, and served as static pages (jamstack style, git provider pages), things are great!

Thank you for this!

Too many posts on here link directly to twitter. I don't think this is a great idea.

IMO a tweet is not a valid destination for a HN post, unless the conversation unfolding on twitter is the story. We should try and find a better source as you have done
IMO the best approach is to have as little shared infrastructure between teams as possible even if it means more work in the end

That's the route to shipping features faster for sure, but it costs more, requires duplication of effort, and is really painful when you discover two teams built the same thing and you want to unify on one version rather than paying to run and maintain both. Plus, when the cost cutting comes in the bad times, you find whole teams are axed because you don't need two sets of people doing the same job. The remaining engineers then have to unify the features but without the resources to get the work done and without access to the institutional knowledge required to understand the version they didn't build themselves.

If you're an engineer in a FAANG it's not a bad solution to the shipping issue. If you're anywhere else it's a road to absolute chaos.

It's why it's called "fair use".
Fanart isn't the only case of fair use. Parody for example allows it.

And AFAIK, no court yet have decided that AI "learning" is not fair use or what the limite are.

It's not a good job market, but it doesn't seem normal to spend six months applying and only get _one_ interview.

It might be worth asking friends or former colleagues, ideally people who actually are involved in recruiting (hiring managers etc) to take a look at your resume and LinkedIn profile and see if there's anything glaringly wrong with them.

Is your resume in a weird format, or is it structurally weird/overdesigned? For instance, a recent trend in resumes was to show (programming) languages known in a pie chart (do not do this; it is nonsensical). In many companies, the text from your resume is going to end up in a standard format anyway; they'll have tools for this and if their tool can't extract your text they may not bother. Unless you're a graphic designer or something, you probably want a boringly-designed resume.

Are you applying jobs for which you are dramatically underqualified? One thing to keep in mind is that some small companies (if you're coming from one) have _wild_ title inflation; a small startup might call someone with 5 and a half years experience their director of frontend engineering, say, whereas everyone else would call that person a junior engineer.

Does anything particularly unfortunate come up if people Google your name? For instance, a real-life version of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine's dating a guy who has the same name as a notorious local serial killer.
ooh good! so I already change what is not correct. thanks
> Am I the only one who thinks meditation with an app is super hilariously weird?

Yes.

> have my phone tell me what to do next"

The phone is a tool. It doesn't tell me what to do.

> you are unable to mediate without the help of an app, start here, instead of pretending you are meditating just because some app tells you every step along the way.

Mindfulness and Buddhism is traditionally practiced in a teacher-student setting. Are they all pretending to meditate because they have a teacher telling them what to do every step of the way?

Your entire comment reeks of utter mindlessness. Maybe an app would help?
Funny, I knew the term from the film with John Travolta and Christian Slater, but never knew it was an actual code word in use.

I've given up on applying through company portals for a few years. Last job I applied myself was in 2016. The rest was people reaching me via LinkedIn.

I'm not a recruiter and have no vested interest in this, but the experience with recruiters from the candidate side is just completely different to justify their existence. From the company side, we also get better candidates from recruiters.

Applying through portals make you feel like a second-class citizen. Companies often ignore you, ghost you, have terrible screening, take ages to respond, give no feedback. Recruiters that reached directly to you have your back and will push for timely responses, will help you negotiate a salary and will prepare you for the interview.

With that said: I had good experience with internal recruiting too. My best salary offer I got was from a company that had internal recruiting (I accepted and work at this company).

But I hope I never have to fill a form in a website ever again.
Ha, but your are both right with the wrong behavior.

You're entitled to you tone, and your initial comment is valid, yes, but it's way to much assertive. Respecting people you're discussing with implies two things: strong assertion needs objective backup, opinions comes with deference.

If not, then, people feeling disrespected are entitled to their (civil) call for proper etiquette, whatever how it stings your ego. You both failed.
Apple is no general computing platform by far and I believe the flexibility is what makes general computing attractive.

How would you not block debuggers if those aren't verified? This adds insane busy work for little advantages and again would make Microsoft the gatekeeper of hardware.

For which benefit exactly?
I have had the same experience job hunting with 15 years experience as full stack and leadership. The market is awful right now, I either get rejected outright with some automated email or I get through to interviews where they clearly haven't read my cv and they'll ask if I have experience managing teams of 100+ (I don't)

I don't even know what the overlap between people that are looking for jobs at my level and people who have managed huge teams is... everyone I know who have managed teams that large is on massive comp packages at FAANG type companies.

It's all very confusing, it made me feel like I've picked the wrong field. I have been lucky enough in my career that I have a long runway, but I'm also not rich enough to retire and do something crazy like buy a farm like I've seen other people in my situation do.

Very frustrating situation, I have been trying to work on my own projects but I'm not a natural salesperson so it takes a lot of effort to motivate myself to do things like cold calls or even cold emails.
This is another great application of AI, well done
This is weird. I've stopped going on LinkedIn because there is a constant barrage of recruiters.

If you list the right skills they will find you.

I agree. I come from a contemplative Christian tradition, and we've adapted Mindfulness to Christocentric meditations. I also practice centering prayer, and this is in the Hesychasm tradition of Christian contemplation.

Hesychasm, and in modern times, Centering Prayer as well, are not without controversy. There are people who accuse us of attempting to "empty the mind" and push out all thought, but my goal is to fill my mind with Christ's abiding presence and peace, shifting focus away from my ego and physical body.

Focusing first on the breath is a fundamental building block of this technique, but it is thoroughly a spiritual technique. To rob this contemplative prayer of its Christocentric nature is to eviscerate all meaning and all purpose from it as well.

Mindfulness is not merely a meditation technique, even when understood by mental health clinicians. It is a state of being in the moment and aware of what we're doing, and why, while we're doing it. Mindfulness is especially helpful to people who tend to dissociate, such as a defense against emotional flashbacks or stressful situations. Contemplative prayer is also a way of life and a state of mind, and likewise helpful for this, but only when it's been practiced on the regular, because under stress, we revert to our basic training and become reactive, so it is necessary to internalize those breathing techniques and exercise control of conscious thought.

Many people, myself included, don't realize that we are in control of our thought processes. It's common to helplessly obsess and ruminate over something good or bad. It's common to expend so much energy on unproductive thinking. But there is a more excellent way. Saint Paul tells us: "the weapons of our battle are not of flesh but are enormously powerful, capable of destroying fortresses. We destroy arguments and every pretension raising itself against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ..." (2 Cor 10:4-5).

> Looking at how they worked with radioactive materials back then, it feels rather amazing that we're still here today.

Nowadays, the dangers of exposure to radiation have been well publicised and I'd guess that most people over-estimate the dangers as plutonium can be handled quite safely (unless it goes critical of course). They used to regularly carry plutonium core halves in their lab coat pockets - one half either side of their body.

From https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-most-dangerous-substanc...

> Plutonium needs to be handled with care. You must avoid a critical mass. If you are machining or grinding plutonium as is required in reprocessing used nuclear fuel for solid-fuel reactors, you should avoid breathing the dust. But because it is a slowly decaying alpha emitter with very inefficient body uptake, it is one of the more easily handled toxic substances known to man. Our fear of plutonium is totally overblown.
You've picked on a single part of my comment, which was more as an informational part to clarify that the headline doesn't tell the whole story. At no point did I make it a complaint.
No, no one calls someone with 5.5 years of experience a junior engineer.

No, stress is actually physiological. What your saying is limited to specific sources of stress.

That makes the tech far more expensive because you introduced useless overhead without gaining anything relevant.

You didn't protect non-tech savvy users at all, on the contrary, you introduced a point of failure for their devices. Some have customized ones which would need to be verified. Doesn't sound like a good idea at all.
That's the fun right there.

I can only speak for my little corner of the market. For systematic trading, there's LinkedIn and there's efinancialcareers. Those are places where you find ads for the type of jobs I'm interested in.

But don't apply for the jobs on those portals, that is just a black hole. Just look at the ads, note down the names of the recruiters and firms they work for, and either phone them or message them on LinkedIn.

They'll have a chat with you to find out your situation, and then they will tell you what jobs they've got. Note that every recruiter in the whole world thinks they have a great relationship with Citadel, Millennium, and every other well known employer in the space, so those intros have no value at all to you, since anyone could be your gateway. They'll also have a bunch of less well known firms, so you need more than one recruiter since they don't all know everyone.

Of course LinkedIn is also a way for the recruiters to get in contact with you. Just set yourself to open and wait around, a fish comes every week or so.
Interesting and it made me try out Vivaldi. Ten minutes later I had lost trust in their claim of privacy.

It uses Microsoft Edge while installing to open links - like the link to their privacy policy - while the OS is set to use Firefox (and every other app use this). Then I found out that it has zero containerization features at all. Don't want Google cookies from one tab read in another tab? Use a new Private Window. No thanks. Uninstall, and then it used Edge to open a page asking why...
Yeah. The recruiter doesn’t bypass the process, except maybe the first stage. They just get you into it with enough attention to get at least a first conversation, and usually a polite way to nudge the company for a response if they get slow for whatever reason. Still sometimes helpful.

Honestly, an internal employee referral helps in similar ways, especially from an employee who knows you well in a professional context. But that isn’t always available.
> It's definitely not the same thing as a massive tech corporation trying to automate their livelihoods, but please keep making this flawed argument analogizing two completely different processes.

Ah yes, the famous massive tech corporation behind stable diffusion.
If we say "security updates only" for the kernel, does that mean we won't support new processors and graphics cards? When Intel and AMD say they have a patch that enables new processors and peripherals, do we decline it? Why?

People will expect the distribution to just work with newer hardware.
Or maybe you're saying upgrade to debian 13 if/when you get new hardware but stay with 12 for fifty years on current hardware?

Intel and AMD should fire their marketing if a lot of people feel ok running the same hardware for fifty years, no?
I imagine a branding change will be in order before actually delivering anything to users?

While I could believe in the artist and their history of fighting off legal challenges, I am sceptical around the ability to (re)build even one of the mentioned tools for the budget. Adobe has an immense moat (hence its complete gall around subscription pricing) for a reason. Otherwise everyone would just be using GIMP.
I didn't start working that early but still find it hard to define because these days "full stack" is someone who can write frontend and backend web apps – but on my first few jobs "full stack" was anything from writing javascript for the web to setting up or troubleshooting a server, or debugging a SQL query plan

I think the best description is "give me a piece of tech and I can probably figure it out"
By tools, you mean a gmail label, yes?
A smartphone is a device designed to distract us and hold our attention. Even with a well-behaved app on it, it's still designed and configured to constantly beep and whistle and send notifications, and fly into our hand and compel us to doomscroll something unimportant. It's fairly impossible to reconfigure a consumer device so that it doesn't do this.

Someone who is practicing contemplation should not be held prisoner by a robot voice or a glowing screen, but instead reach an inner presence of God, and His stillness encompassing all that we experience during that sacred time.

It is absolutely necessary to shut out every distraction possible. At the same time, we acknowledge that the practitioner will be distracted in some way, not through his own fault, and we must learn the proper response to fleeting distractions. But to purposely tether yourself to a created, pagan object is to invite failure from the outset.
