Clean code leads to more testable code leads to more tests leads to better products. Don't be so quick to dismiss "clean code" as some BS.

I've seen first hand how someone writing a 500 line function struggles to test it. But splitting it up into more manageable chunks of functionality makes it easier to write a test.

Imo perfectionism is chasing that last 5% performance.

Clean code, design patterns etc are just good engineering practices... Not perfectionism ....

You don't understand "the average person" in anyway, shape or form if you think they would even know what an operating system is...

The average person will never use Linux. I prefer it as a dev, but windows and mac have won.

Until some big vendor just releases a specifically linux machine, which they won't.

Almost anyone can solve problems. You want to find someone who you actually want to work with. The days of the anti social "lone genius" are long gone.

"Employee productivity is at an all time low" is quite the statement without facts and figures. Do you have any proof?

That would be trespassing, but is it actually illegal to experience license content or just to copy/share it? If I'm in a bar and they are playing illegal streams of movies are we all commiting crimes or just the bar owner?

Unreal engine. Just download it and let him go. Maybe even unreal editor for fortnite but that hasn't got much docs. Kids have unlimited time. Unreal has starter projects and loads of docs/YouTube vids to find out how to do basically anything. I got a cracked 3D application at 11 and I'm not in anyway computer expert. Kids are capable of way more than we give credit for.

I'm the best musician on earth but I can't play any instruments but I can imagine a really amazing song, you'll just never hear it because it would take 1000s of hours of me practicing to actually learn to play so that I could prove it. So you'll just have to make do with my words and believe me when I say I'm the best musician alive.

Here's an article I wrote describing the song but without actually writing any of the notes because I can't read or write music either.

But I've listened to a lot of music and my tunes are better than those.

I went to school for music description so I know what I'm talking about.

Is it culturally English speaking to think this just sounds like social anxiety rather than an expected norm? If someone thought they were superior than me and expected a particular greeting or whatever, I'd tell them where to shove it lol

We are all equal.

This is so cool! It'd be nice to get some more info on the info windows. Like a photo of the train would be awesome (similar to the plane trackers)!
