  1. I got bored with articles trying to make some controvertial points just to grab some attention / traffic. (he says so in the article).

    The OP doest't even deserve your sincere and just to the point response.

  2. Thanks, you just addressed just the points I was curious about the most.

    - How will they survive?

    - What happens with all those unsolved problems, those that AIs haven't found a source with the solution to scrape from?

  3. I posted this link, some days ago:

    Coding Trance Music from Scratch (Again) [video]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5rnQkfO6M

    It´s a well done programming and music performance

  4. Both programming and music in the same (awesome) performance. BTW, she is using https://strudel.cc/. (not affiliated with them)
  5. I won't log in to a site i don't know or trust
  6. I found out about slither.io here at hn. Also found out about the similar one agar.io.
  7. Brings me back too. But what stayed stuck on my memory, was something i read here on HN: at some point, one yahoo dev added his affiliate code to the links !!
  8. Unrelated, please don't use platforms that don't let you zoom in on images with very small fonts.

    On my phone it was really uncomfortable to read the messages back and forth

  9. I'm reading this at the moment! but I also want to compare how well each language helps you develop concurrency solutions.
  10. Can you recommend any other book about the same subject but different programming language? Thanks!!!
  11. I'm leading an in-house team that's developing a custom software for a niche financial institution. The original product was outsourced to a software factory, forward 2 years and they decided this project wasn't worth their time and left. I took the responsibility of moving the project forward, then with only another dev.

    What worked great to me as dev?

    . the direct connection with the CEO as he became a high level PO. With this arrange we were always sure that our work was giving value to the business.

    . I learned a LOT about the business and loved it

    . I was in charge of growing the team when the amount of work justified it. I got several wonderful devs onboard.

    What worked great for the business?

    . they decided and prioritized the direction of the (customized) product.

    . they understood the strategic constraints and possibilities of their software

    what was tough for all?

    . at least the first full year, was spent killing bugs and making the project work properly. Operations needed too much support in that initial period. Stressfull times.

    Starting with a pair of Senior Devs is a good choice IMHO. If you trust them, even better.

    Those points I mention above that I found great, are your selling points to hire some good Developers.

  12. I want to see the internal postmortem of why this happened to CrowdStrike (if they are still in business)
