It’s all about being comfortable with not knowing when you need to act. Believing that you can learn everything upfront is pure hubris, and once you hurt yourself enough times, you just drop the pretense.

In other words, life is Bayesian, not frequentist.

It’s not about business optimization, it’s about not having to defer to someone’s knowledge from the position of power.

AI bubble makes so much sense when you start looking at it this way.

Good point.

Gl.iNet is a great value router, but if you want to do anything really interesting, it won’t do.

I have Slate AX chugging along, and have been eyeing teklager boxes to do actual routing, with slate as an access point.

Most QA titles have very little to do even with QA itself. If QA doesn’t start at ideation, you’re not doing QA.

There are penalties. They require proof of intent, however. So there are no penalties.

Oh yeah, please do imagine there is no such thing as a time zone.

On an ellipsoid!

Identification != Authentication

As obvious as this sounds, I’ve learned over the years that most people don’t understand what it means exactly.

“Huh, I wonder” has been driving general scientific progress and heart failures in engineering since forever.

I’m giggling like a kid that finally got the candy from the top drawer. It’s beautiful.

If you push tickets - software developer at best.

If you iteratively solve problems by learning, building models, and trying hard to break said models until a sufficiently robust one remains - welcome to engineering.

If you’re a software engineer, you’re applying an engineering process to the field of software development. Adding a shopping cart to a blog can be a perfectly sound solution to the problem at hand.

Engineering becomes more important at scale, but scale itself doesn’t define engineering.

Don’t learn Elixir to replace Ruby. Learn it to enjoy OTP and BEAM.

I would love to join a cool company that’s willing to accept a dev that can transition fast. However, most of Elixir job listings I find are gambling or crypto. And I ain’t gonna touch those.

When people say “pointers are hard”, they mean “I have no idea where the star goes and now an ampersand is also implicated”.

Don’t discriminate. Many men want a guy that can provide too.

Good news, TDD is methylphenidate of software development!

Every wave is affected by Doppler effect.

When a car rushes your way, it’s a tiny bit bluer, a little bit hotter, it’s drivers’ phone is operating on a slightly higher frequency and it sounds higher. According to you.
