The link is weird. What is :99 at the end of it?

Regardless of everything else I'm afraid that job-market-wise OOP is dominating which makes it difficult (at least for me) to do serious knowledge investment in FP.

OOP related I've seen it used nicely -usually when kept as simple as possible and mostly as a message passing mechanism. But more often than not it ends up as a big ball of mud or an overengineered mess of design patterns and opinionated (to the point of cargo-culting) principles (SOLID etc). Specially from younger devs.

Excuse my ignorance but I'm wondering how difficult/feasible would it be to have all CO2 captured from burning coal etc and thus making them zero emission.

Senior dev (>10 yoe). Not the type that looks down on people and not a fanboy or an evangelist of any sort. But I regard developer experience highly. I.e. I hate to have to spend days to fix a dev sandbox before I even start doing my job.

Yeah, that -together with going through all the interviews/take homes/etc again- is the biggest inhibitor. Dunno, maybe it's time to start considering a total career change. I'm fed up with the actual reality of doing SW engineering for a living.

Manager agrees on most of my points but, for various reasons, he cannot/won't change anything. All he can do is chase up people to set up a knowledge transfer meeting (when excessive meetings are just a sign of the dysfunctions of other levels).

Agree. Having been through a lot of both take-homes and whiteboards I can say that whiteboard may be bad but at least it respects your time.

There are such managers (enablers who trust you). The irony is that usually you get them on doomed ships that refuse to change their ways anyway.
