@kelseyhightower Even if you make like 120k, that is around 70k after taxes, health insurance, retirement funds. So I would say retiring in your 50s and if you’re more frugal even 40s is possible for high income jobs but still more of a niche thing here.

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@kelseyhightower I think the question is what do you consider early and what lifestyle do you want to live. Compared to Germany, US Tech Salaries are fairly high and taxes are low. Here, earning between 100-150k is already really good and normally you won‘t get more than that as an employee.

Stupid ways to compensate programmers:

I've seen every single one of these. They backfire and make working for your company a living hell.

Pay your developers by the number of bugs they close. After a week, they will start committing bugs on purpose so they can fix them a day later.

Pay your developers by the number of features they deliver. After a week, nobody will want to work on anything that takes more than a few minutes to complete.

Pay your developers by the number of lines of code they write. After a week, you'll get triple spaces between every line of code.

Pay your developers by the number of commits they make. After a week, your repository will become more useless than a screen door on a submarine.

Pay your developers based on the reviews from their peers. After a week, you'll have a hostile environment, backstabbing, and politics.

During the British rule in India, the government wanted to reduce the cobra population. They offered a reward for every dead cobra.

Some people saw this as an opportunity to profit. They started breeding cobras to kill them and collect the reward.

The British government had to stop the program. With no reward to collect, farmers set the snakes free, making the infestation much worse.

Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

@amantinband I experience something similar, heavily utilizing these tools changes coding to doing code reviews all day which is really draining

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@amantinband Please record those 😇👍

This is a valid Dockerfile for a NodeJS application. It is also a pile of 💩!

We can improve:
- 🔒 Security
- 🏎️ Build speed
- 👁️ Clarity

Follow along as we go from 💩 to 🥇!

I'm happy to announce that my new course "Cloud Fundamentals: AWS Services for C# Developers" is now LIVE and thanks to a sponsorship from @dotnetonAWS it is FREE! Just sign up and it is yours to keep! A massive thank you to @awscloud for supporting .NET! https://t.co/ueDIbHQK6o

@davidfowl The scary thing is that for questions like these it mostly provides really good and factually correct answers. Until for some questions it just makes up stuff like Scott Hanselman being the CEO of Microsoft. Hope people will double check ;)

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@abnxtr @davidfowl @codeopinion @nickchapsas @dotnet I can highly recommend Amichai Mantinband. Fairly new channel but if you like the pace in Nick Chapsas videos, you will definitely enjoy this channel.

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@danielmarbach @NServiceBus Thanks a lot, this looks interesting! Yes we are on dotnet. Let me read the docs and watch your talk about it and if questions remain, I will get back to you <3

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@clemensv Say there is an external client that consumes the queue, how would one make sure that the message hasn‘t been consumed yet or is this only possible with different topics? Thanks for your answers, this is the last question ;)

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@clemensv When considering a setup where a client application like an app pushes to the queue, the tests would potentially be 1. is the queue up and running 2. do the messages end up in the queue 3. do the messages have the correct format

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@clemensv What is the best way to run automated tests and verify the correct behavior against an azure service queue on production when performing a test that pushes messages into that queue?

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@amantinband Well deserved and immediately jumped to my favorite channels together with @nickchapsas

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@shanselman My wife and I use: „git status“ in texts to see how it‘s going

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@nickchapsas We‘re switching from Moq to NSubstitute in more and more projects. Main reasons are easier syntax and usage without the Mock wrapper objects.

[Scott Hanselman 🌮 @shanselman]

So Windows 10 has "Game Mode" to optimize when playing and streaming. It has "Presentation Mode" when you're using PowerPoint and projecting.

I propose Developer Mode. I want Indexing off, Virus checking off, max filesystem speed, optimized caches, etc. IDE/Text editor priority.

@LastSliceGame @windowsdev Are there any plans to follow up on last year‘s last slice challenge? It was so much fun!

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@tornado9015 @andrewhair @darioscarpa Have you written something on how you solved it beforehand? I would be really interested in your approach ;)

[fishishuntingsharks @fishishunting]

@windowsdev Personally, I loved challenge two the most that came with a nice level of algorithmical and implementation effort to solve. The usage of the led display in challenge 3 and the "ready player one like" retro feeling was awesome as well, though ;)
