Many intelligent people have called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, with sound evidence and good reasoning. But Ponzi schemes refer to bad things, while Social Security is good. Therefore, it can't be a Ponzi scheme.

People are far more interested in what they heard than in what you said.


Story of my coding career

New guy at work (recent CS grad) doesn’t test anything he builds AT ALL - Tells me it’s done - I try it and it fails - Show him the error - Tells me “oh didn’t think about that” Do people not check their work these days?? There are art history students more capable than this.

My dad told me once if you're not first you're last. I still think about this sometimes 🤔


Wow! I feel so honored. Someone took time out of their busy day to look me up and insult me. People usually just ignore me on here. I'm growing!

You are the “CTO” of a Mickey Mouse dev shop that makes the most mid webapps for no name clients. The only difference between that and a script kiddie is a shitty haircut and a suit from the mall

Fact: People at Google writing Rust are as productive as ones using Go and more than twice as productive as teams using C++. And there's another reason why performance and correctness critical systems are being written in Rust, rather than Go.

Banning pharma ads is blatantly unconstitutional and it's shameless to see people who were yelling about "free speech" five minutes ago thinking it's a good idea


Whenever someone does an AMA the questions are so boring. They are giving you permission to ask them ANYTHING! Don't let the next opportunity go to waste.


Yup

OOP allows midwits to pretend they did work by creating 20 different inheritance heirarchies and wasting time. Meanwhile we write better code with simple procedures, (and traits or interfaces). When called out OOP fanatics claim "You did not understand what we meant by OOP". 🤔

I'm a software engineering consultant. Imagine, I tell my clients: "You must hate OOP. OOP is awful. Stop doing OOP, now!" What kind of advice is this. Same for advice from online folks. It's baseless and ridiculous.
