What do you mean by "google push app"? Are you referring to Google Authenticator? The reason I ask is that I also removed 2FA SMS from my account and instead use the Google app whether to authorize the login or not.
>But if you take one thing away, let it be this: garbage collection is a hard problem, really hard, one that has been studied by an army of computer scientists for decades. So be very suspicious of supposed breakthroughs that everyone else missed. They are more likely to just be strange or unusual tradeoffs in disguise, avoided by others for reasons that may only become apparent later.
I really take issue with this. Imagine all of the progress that would have been delayed or quite possibly not achieved had people not persevered against the traditional thinking. Yes, GC is a hard problem but just because something's been researched for a long period of time does not mean there is no room left for innovation. Breakthroughs come some people that think differently not from people that think it's all been done before.
>Uh, the one following hordes of brain-dead Java developers hand-coding getters and setters?
I can only image what they think of you and it's probably not very good. You must be a nightmare to work with and be around. Which is probably why they keep you away from people.
>And is delivered 2 years later, requires 5 times more people and costs 10 time more to develop. And Python can be plenty fast if you use the right libraries.
Sounds very anecdotal. This seems to be your modus operandi. I could say the same thing about worthless Python developers. No wonder that language is in decline and seldom used in the enterprise.
>What do I have to be bitter about? I get paid well to write Python, C and Go on bespoke and interesting back-end systems and don't have to attend daily stand-ups with brain-dead Java developers and Oracle DBAs and listen to them duke it out over who's fault it is queries are running slow. No thanks.
Again with the idiotic anecdotes. You must have been exposed to a work environment that was not congruent to that of your own, but somehow think it's the blueprint. But, make no mistake, you are a bitter man and if Java contributed to that then I'm thankful for its existence.
Yes, Java developers still hand code their getters and setters. What era are you from, again? Also, those "brain dead" Java developers still write code that smoke your dog slow Python code regardless of how meticulously you hand crafted your code. So yeah, I would be bitter too.
