Old server? This shit runs on mainframes.

Here's a one strategy: just fucking do it snowflake.

The other trade off is shitty pay and benefits.

Sometimes a publisher will charge a nominal charge for the e-book if you buy the printed one so you can get both.

Hand crafted machine language not even using an assembler :)

From that description of your workplace my guess is whatever their expectations were they never imagined you :)

Exactly. If a machine can understand natural language why would you waste it's time writing code? in fact when it gets to that point the machine and everyone else may have no idea of what low level instructions to run to convey the same thing as something in a spoken language they same way we have a huge gap of understanding between our physiology and our thoughts.

'Scramble' -lol not like anyone could see it coming.

True that.

No.

The problem with Agile/Scrum is that it is based on the premise that the first step to going to the moon is climbing a tree.

The problem with Waterfall is that it is based on the premise that every project is a moonshot.

For some reason that image fucks with my brain. She seems to be constantly changing to me but stays the same - weird.

No math no CS degree.

Context switching is expensive.

Yes I did see that the spec allows for class definitions which I didn't realize. So it's technically OO but it has to be the worst one for actually doing OO programming. The first compile is to IL code but I'm pretty sure it either jit'd to native code when run or ahead of time using ngen tool and once that happens the il isn't even used anymore except for reflection. Of course the jit and ngen processes have to do a lot more checking than would otherwise be needed for a simple compile.

IL Assembler is not OO it's obviously imperative. The lower level they are compiled to is machine language.

Do companies actually pay people to attend these?

No.

How about IL Assembler?

Oh yeah forgot F#.

What a surprise Pascal is not very popular :)

I think there is merit to the idea that since the whole world is wired it seems likely that there is sufficient signal from the internet to predict movement. I wouldn't be surprised if someone is already looking into it. Of course if it works it will end up with computers playing against other computers and using post bots to influence what they other computer will do or what they can force force people to do :)

On the other hand after thinking about it for a minute the amount of noise is staggering...

Stage 2: use Disposable pattern incorrectly

ACID or ACID not. There is no 'enough'.

Writing an accounting system on mongo is pretty much grounds for a lawsuit.

Ah of course. The burndown chart is behind him.

Where's the guy who has never laid a brick in his life running the show?

Spot on.

Neither.

It's interesting that you mention SE since in general CS seemed to be much more oriented to theory and mathematics than anything to do with how to create and organize maintainable code. That anything involving so much abstraction could fall under the heading of 'engineering' never really made sense to me.

Did it take you about halfway through the course before the light went on?

You might think that would be embarrassing but it's Hello Kitty fans we are talking about here. They don't keep it a secret.

Nobody has any idea of the "97 things that every programmer should know" - true story.

A+

assembly != machine language

Cool but snippets leave a lot to be desired :)
