A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.

Are you suggesting such an app can be purchased outside Google play but not used?

Having an app check a license server isn’t exactly new. Google play is simply a third party license server.

Sorry for the late response.

Thats not what quantum mechanics shows at all.

What is being described is the pop-sci version quantum mechanics.

That version has people believing in multiverses and wormholes and other nonsense that is not falsifiable like magic and has no evidence like magic but people believe in it because people desperately want magic to be real.

50/50 chance they believe you.

If you take every grain of sand on Earth and stack them in a single column…

No. This is just a movie. There is no free energy. Free energy wouldn’t collapse the economy, it would accelerate it.

But there is no free energy. Physics is pretty clear on this. Even if it was possible to spend a trillion up front to create a system that generated energy at no additional cost, there is still the cost of transmitting the energy, there is still the cost of maintenance. Someone will still be able to extract a profit delivering the energy to you.

You can already experience free energy with solar panels and some batteries. World hasn’t ended yet.

Sounds like projection. Probably just got back from meeting with his Russian handlers and posted this to sooth their impotent rage.

You think parents should get their kindergartens an Apple Watch?

Perhaps you think I’m referring to children past elementary school.

Regardless of what Apple says AirTags are and are not for people will use them however they see fit. For example, they are not for tracking pets but there are pet collars designed to hold an AirTag so clearly many people are ignoring Apple.

Attaching an AirTag to a child’s backpack seems like an obvious way to track one’s child, even if it’s not supported use case.

The purpose isn’t track things you know how to find but to find things that get lost; like children. There is also enough paranoia about kidnapping that I’m sure there are at least a few children in every classroom that are tagged.

I can only imagine how often teacher’s phone light up for these.

I agree.

One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.

I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.

The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.

Without having to look at the device?

I second Kagi with the additional mention of their “lens” feature that allows results to be restricted to scholarly sources which is very relevant to the meme’s search needs.

Sure just don’t allow it to justify over spending.

The idea that one “should spend more” is not the correct way to think of what is actually an ROI decision, return on investment.

This thing is more rant than article so it’s hard to refute what is being said.

People who tell you they are smart never are.

Likewise, people who tell you they’ve figured out how to navigate the system without being influenced by it are the easiest to control.

One of its basic premise here that is flawed. Most people go to the polls knowing exactly who they are going to vote for. Those who don’t, are the ones marketers are trying to influence.

It isn’t really clear what the goal of this rant is. I find a lot of these things come down to the adage “teenagers think they invented sex” – people often confuse their mental awakening as novel discovery.

These people are rarely smart and are rarely worth listening to as they clearly fail to understand the next steps to such self discovery is to explore existing knowledge.

I’ve been seeing more and more of these click bait article that no longer answer the click bait question.

Feels like the result of AI generated content, except feeding the title into chatGPT results in a more succinct answer with the same wishwashy unspecified value.

The article is padded with the typical fluff to add authority.

Prompt: “How often do sleep scientists say to exercise to avoid insomnia”

ChatGPT 3.5: “Sleep scientists generally recommend getting regular exercise to help prevent insomnia. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine suggests aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week, spread throughout the week. This equates to about 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. However, it’s essential to find a routine that works for you and to avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime, as it may interfere with sleep.”

How interesting that god in their infinite wisdom would fail to account for the design flaw. Or maybe they were lazy and just didn’t care how these beings would appear to us.

Can an infinite being be lazy or fail to account for a design flaw? Seems less than infinitely wise to me.

And if it’s just a test, why is this infinitely wise being running quality assurance on his creation. Shouldn’t all that infinite wisdom have precluded the need for testing?

“Media attention” doesn’t appear on your quote nor the entitreity of that Wikipedia article.

The other two are merely your personal interpretation of how you split the phrase “professed refusal”

Professed can as easily be satisfied by going on a piracy forum and declaring your allegiance to the movement.

Refusal is what piracy is. The act of ignoring copyright law, is the refusal.

“I do not agree with copyright law and will not be restricted by it” – This statement satisfies “professed refusal”

I do not have to petition my senator.

I don’t have to stand on a street corner with a sign.

I will take it further and claim that you or anyone else adding arbitrary rules to how one must practice civil disobedience is antithetical to civil disobedience.

Did you even bother to consult a dictionary before you wrote up this silly gatekeeping nonsense?

There is nothing in the definition of civil disobedience that says it needs to be public.

There is nothing that say we have to openly challenge the authorities.

There is nothing that says we have to get the medias attention.
