@brian_armstrong I have never met a single person who could be an effective leader of 15 direct reports. That extends to not just engineers, who have particular quirks to manage, but just people in general.

This honestly sounds like a nightmare. And be an individual contributor on top? Laughable

@yapdoss I would make you mow my lawn next if I had one

i’m convinced you can get good at anything if you just do it enough.

exhibit a:
- I sucked at math → became a cs major at harvey mudd
- terrible runner my whole life → just finished an ultramarathon
- too shy to call & order pizza → now I host events
- too homesick as a kid for sleepovers → moved across the country & now solo-travel across the world

I literally bought huge books and read them and programmed from them. Also a good amount of fucking around and finding out too.

Also read a ton of source code. I still don’t understand why devs don’t read source code much. Reading WP source and later rails source taught me a lot

[Kyros @IamKyros69]

How did people even learn to code when there was no docs, no YouTube… nothing?

Genuinely curious.

Good news: we are officially in “this can wait until after the holidays” range

Damn my FYP is a dumpster fire now. Thirsty or trash takes about dating from people that need to touch grass, grow up, or both.

That’s what I get for overindulging in reading about myself lol. Give me back my crypto, programming, and travel tweets plz

I can't believe 10 years later I still need to argue for tests in software. Meanwhile people complain about react vs FS rails vs go micro services when really the user doesn't give a shit, just solve the problem well. The shitification is real

[Бриан Роблес @BryanAKA]

Great article. I agree with a lot of the points the author makes, and I think a lot of it comes from a combination of the VC model, pushing for unsustainable winner-take-all scenarios, served with a side of falling standards of software.

@moritzkremb Builder

[Adam @adamdotdev]

lot of non-programmers with a lot of big opinions about the future of programming these days

[Бриан Роблес @BryanAKA]

@DuringJs Yeah I guess it depends on what you’re optimizing for. America is still the best place if you want to optimize for making money.

I don’t. I’ve always optimized for making my life a series of good stories to tell. Money is just an ingredient to that.

Living in cities like Copenhagen, San Francisco, and San Diego, I have realized that I need to live in a city that inspires me just by existing in it, living my daily life.

Copenhagen is beautiful and serene, bustling with bikes and people. Surrounded by culture and history.

Every time I read takes like this I’m curious what kind of experience the poster has with software engineering

[the Rich @Duderichy]

willing to bet my entire net worth software engineers still exist in 18 months

[chad fowler @chadfowler]

Technology choice for developers is a fashion choice. (Even superior) unfashionable tech loses. Fashionable tech wins.

It’s annoying but has been true for at least the past 30 years.

[Бриан Роблес @BryanAKA]

I’m the kind of person you will likely hire when the AI backs itself into a corner and you can’t get your code fixed because you can’t prompt it into good architecture. And then we will be the colbalt people charging $500/hr

[Бриан Роблес @BryanAKA]

The people that say AI is going to replace software engineers are outing themselves as the ones that create the most tech debt at their company.

AI’s are great boilerplate writers and rubber ducks. And there is tremendous value in that.

But they are not good software engineers.

@stack_tracy_ Also got a response from the farcaster community about looking at rainbow wallet and blue sky apps as a good reference point for production applications

[Бриан Роблес @BryanAKA]

@nullvoxpopuli YES PLEASE. I’ve implemented or used a TrackedPromise like interface in basically every modern ember application I’ve worked on.
