excellent read. My brother in law has been extremely successful with real estate from his single apartment beginnings, nowadays when we meet and I ask him "how are you" he replies "I'm blessed".

dude I know you have a lot of money, I just wanted to know if you were sick or something. smh

But that`s the job. It`s not like they were doing something else and this is a side effect.

If i employ you to clean human feces, you can sure me for not providing adequate protection etc but you cant sure me because you had to deal with human feces. That is the job.

well it's interesting because it gives an insight for those of us who aren't there how things actually work.

Musk fan or not, you can't deny this has no interest

the whole point of driving a Tesla is not to rely on the Saudis

yes yes, I get that but it also competes with their current cash cow. They obviously want a say in this technology that is inevitably going to destroy their oil revenues (and that is not a good thing).

Saudi Arabia? I know they have money but it's like selling your chicken coop to a snake

I think the proper cause of action in that case was to return the car and do an old fashioned stake out with lots of beer.. I mean redbull and catch the burglars redhanded.

This made me laugh. We were tasked to write an app for a customer and one of the main requirements from their product manager was the app had to open within 1 seconds. Not a problem we thought, then their technical guy came up with all these requirements that had to be resolved during the startup sequence.

So it was not simple and it was not fast. Nobody wants simple.. ever.

The implementation of this cheating is more insidious than you think. There could be a requirement to put in a "simulation" for testing. There's nothing unusual about implementing this feature. Then another request comes in at a later time to make this feature a build setting. Then at a later time someone who is not a software engineer toggles this build setting on production build during manufacturing to put it out in the field.

I've been in the business for 15 years, I have never seen a successful product fail because it was written in language x or y. It fails for a lot of other non programming language reasons though

which part? I skimmed through it and it mostly seemed to be group interplay, direction and competition. This is what kills products, not language of choice.

The only joke here is somehow this author thinks the success of your project is dependent on the language you pick

Sounds like it would increase the risk of RSI instead of decreasing it

it's funny looking at cars from 2013 extolling the virtues and greatness of diesel engines vs gasoline ones
