I continue to be amazed how the respect for the work of IT professionals gets lower and lower. This article attempts to reduce software development down to "people pleasing". A prostitute is also paid to make the "investors" happy but even people who've never hired one agree that not every demand by the "investor" can be fulfilled and that the prostitute can set boundaries. Yet, when it comes to software development, people such as the author of this article claim that the only true definition of done can be derived solely from the desires and wants of the business people (some of who tend to change opinions depending on what time they'd woken up). Imagine if civil engineers operated in this way.

The level of respect that the typical manager or C-level has for the developers' efforts and time spent into keeping up-to-date with the industry has decreased, and now with the big promises of AI it will become even lower. Professionalism demands a certain baseline level of respect for one's effort and expertise.

Yet another reason why I should not be updating from Sonoma...

Which school is that?

Looks really cool, however I would be more comfortable if this was a desktop/mobile app rather than a web app. I would like to have some sense of control over my data and prefer if it is not stored on a server somewhere.

The author barely mentions anything about security of the server setup. I would at least run some online security checks for open ports, etc.

This is a great book, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for taking the time to write this response.

So far I have not been able to find a better offer than contabo.com

Quite interesting essay, thank you!

The article stops short of an explanation, because the explanation for the gap may actually be very simple. However, it is more fashionable to talk about inequality gaps without actually looking at the causes.

Poorer students are more likely to be lazy and not want to study, due to their upbringing and because their parents are also less educated and have more distrust in the skills that are taught in schools. Richer students' parents are more likely to be well-educated and thus to impose on their children that they need to study harder and take education more seriously.

This is not news or any revelation. Of course, some of the richest kids may also be lazier, but the big difference would be between the poor and the middle-class kids.
