you can buy your own health insurance. This is like saying that because you dont get free lunch anymore that losing your job is "life threatening". Somebody has to pay for it. This liberal mindset of "make rich guy pay" is at its core lazy and selfish.
I think that the health industry itself is a scam, and over priced by bureaucracy but that doesnt mean that another person should take your burden. Your health is your responsibility not your employers.
Employers shouldn't be playing health insurance because that shouldn't be necessary. Minimum wage should cover basic care. Either minimum wage is too low or basic care is too high. We kinda take care of this through taxes but its a bandaid on a corrupt overpriced monopoly industry.
do you work with Laravel ... it has not advanced dev quality of life. It has great marketing and has grabbed a % of the dev base so lots of people work with it. It has done nothing better than symfony, codeigniter, Zendframework.
I feel it breeds bad coding habbits, many coders like it simplicity but when they use it they implement many inefficient functions, mostly around querying the database. Laravel has this robust query builder api so you have many novices accessing the database through it without understanding what they are doing.
I dont really know what "quality of life" is provided by Laravel. Its just another MVC.
Healthcare has little to do with health. Its this thinking that is the reason why Americans are declining in quality of life.
Stop blaming the other, its not making you stronger or better. Better healthcare will not stop you from drinking too much , eating too much, not exercising enough. No drug is going to fix your social anxiety. Drugs fix symptoms not causes.
This "health disadvantage" what is it exactly. I bet its lung and diabetes issues. We do it to ourselves. Once you accept that you will see the fix. Its not some billionaire giving you money , it you not giving money to the drug dealing (alcohol, unhealthy food, weed/tobacco/vape) billionaires and getting active.
Religion used to be a good way to get out before, a secular nation needs to find a similar motivation that gets people out of their houses. Maybe the worst drug is the media keeping us planted in our chair. Either way I dont trust the gov. so even if we put more money into "healthcare" they would fuck it up. Prove me wrong.
its just about wording ... is "Vegan" copyrighted. Its sounds like wrongful marketing at this point, but you cant "stop" BK from serving a product no matter how they want to create it as long as its illegal. Maybe it will be "Vegan(tm)".
And who cares, these people are crazy for not consuming amino acids and it shows.
unless you actually start with these language , then move to loops. Which is really easy. Map/reduce is fundamental to scheme like the closure is fundamental to javascript.
Im not sure how many colleges teach it 1st year but Northeastern University uses scheme as the intro language. The professor there wrote the blue book.
browsers + javascript + css (frontend opensource) ... to backend , many frameworks for each langauge, many languages all documented ... to persistence layer (mysql , postgres, mssql), and finally server but as OP said thats on amazon, Azure, Dreamhost ... etc
OP is discussing more so the practice of professional dev for 70 - 90% of the devs. Business guys want results , they dont care about scaling and so its about getting it out ASAP. Theres alot of politics, I was taken aback at first, with the idea of CS/software being very technical but it seems that this creates more of a differentiator for political manipulation, cause everyone is already skilled in analytics.
I could go into more detail but basically its all there and a search away (google). In fact there is a term in the industry called "google-fu" (like kung-fu) which means the number of searchers you need to perform to get an answer.
Its a double edge sword. All devs are on their own for learning, but all the info is out there, you just need to be willing to search and learn.
Sadly many people are not like that, and that seperates the good dev from the bad dev (besides the politics).
I assume its the same for being a surgeon, that all you have to do is study and learn the info and you can do it. But having a steady hand is very important. And sadly , if everyone had a steady hand , you'd still have the same amount of surgeons. Those who can do. You want to be a dev, open up the next tab and type into your tool bar "how to learn javascript". Realize that devs created this tool for you, and if you are not a dev its because you dont want to be. Its all there, the web is your oyster.
>All this advanced tracking/planning stuff from companies like Atlassian seem to me like some kind of weird, dystopian "C-Suite-Porn."
no matter how good the software is , the people using it can make it suck , especially something like communication software
Ive said that things like jira are all about clarity , organization and making process strict. If you dont have that then the tickets become a bunch of unproductive threads.
Also with enough determination you can turn an excel/google spreadsheet into a good bug tracker
I think their software is pretty good , but bad PMs bad process and it doesnt matter. If you managers cant decide a consistent way to run a sprint youll never be able to efficiently record and track it.
Its like we are putting the cart before the horse. Before we can create a good organization tool we need people that want to be organized.
rails did the opposite of php , and I think its harder for it to pivot in its community.
-php started with no framework , everyone just did super minimal strait to the db and template query stuff, very unorganized but you knew the underlying apis and tech because you were right up against them
-rails started very ridged. separating programmers from the underlying apis and tech
Now php devs had to create the ecosystem of organization but the experience of working with the the server and db was still useful particularly when doing something unique or when one needed special performance
Ruby devs needed to learn to become leaner how to break away from the framework when performance was needed. This was completely new and I feel the community did not support scripting away from ruby. Mostly the community was focused around ease
also at the same time PHP was improving the language. I dont think Ruby had the same improvement and some of the stuff I have heard about ruby makes me cringe.
linux: cd /dir (no info)
windows: open directory ... all the info and different views depending on your selection currently like image file thumbnails
in windows you are always accessing this meta data so it makes sense to speed it up. while in linux even the ls fucking does give you meta data you have to add the extra options so it doesnt makes sense to speed up and waste storage on something that is infrequent
Basically syntactic sugar taken a step further.
