I've spent decades trying to gather wisdom. I still don't have any. @Stripe

Hiring programmers by asking for tech exercises on the spot is like hiring chefs by making them participate in Chopped.

@jessitron We are in a similar abyss in politics and economics: The most correct is very hard to get, and one has to teach new concepts to society to move forward.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron The trick is that you picked examples where "correct but incredibly difficult to understand and explain" is not really that good.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron Aristotle is very far from the most accurate philosophy, but moving it forward was a matter of centuries of cultural change and using difficult concepts. This lowered the Field's utility to most.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@d6 The perfect moment to show off a scala map where keys are types, and everything is verified at compile time. Pick a type, any type.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@bradurani @apachekafka Scala, with the Java library, and censorinus as the datadog library

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@astrostl @fak3r I was fully expecting to see art made out of shredded resumes

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@mattyglesias This is not just for large metros: Spanish towns with 100k people have the same shape, and could not be more livable.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron I could go on and on if required, but ultimately you get the drift: Having the people you need when you need them is a privilege. One that few have, and others do not deserve

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron Imagine someone that needs an adult to provide counsel, but their parents are always away

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron An AI therapist could be far more available than a human therapist.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron Maybe someone wants a good editor for their jumbled ideas for a book

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@jessitron Imagine an assistant that helps someone with depression and no friends

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@chimeracoder The fact that she says "one cast member", as if it was a random cast member, not one with the same name as the show, does not help either.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@aconbere @Blaisorblade @paf31 @bodil Note that making it actually readable was an anti-goal here.

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@avibryant It is developed at my current employer (which also released EvilPlot). We use it for real things, but a science startup is very different from Stripe

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@avibryant I so want to see how much better/worse this works than Scalastan

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@isaach And let's not forget, top quality docs that are up to date are way too expensive, attention wise, for most services written in the world. My wsdl experience was all about those services where good docs would have been irresponsible

[Jorge M @hibikir1]

@isaach Mostly spec, plus doc display tools: Too much focus in pages for humans, filled with info that comes from strings people copy and paste badly. Swagger felt like it tried to be like Stripe's docs instead of wsdl, just way worse.
