Hmmm... looks like spam to me....

Yeah, let's reinvent javascript because we have so much junk going on in the browser that we need some more.

The current state of things is that "web interface" is a half backed stuff that works only when internet is active and depends on the latest and greatest Chrome browser to produce some meaningful results (without blockers)

Can we have some RELIABLE applications that are tested and WORK ?

In case you get irked, I am not talking of google apps, Google has enough manpower to actually have something that works.

I am talking about the big companies web, HP, netapp, cisco, etc. their websites are flashy but when you are searching for something.... you are screwed (unless you search for the latest gizmo, obfiously)

Every duplication duplicates the maintenance process and the testing process

There is a reason we have functions instead of writing "inline" what we want to do

Talking to your coworker is good avoiding code duplication is even better

The current code being produced is just junk, unmaintainable, crash prone bound to specific language version and libraries

Google for it....

Ask yourself "what do I want to do " ?

then google the answer you gave yourself, you will find plenty of documentation....

Anyone extremly annoyed of "new languages" popping up every motnth that are there to "solve" an issue that is in most cases due to

• I (programmer) am not able to type ten more charactters on the keyboard and wish a shorter typing
• I (programmer) am stupid enough to use unsafe logic and/or write memory leaking code
• I (programmer) have no idea of what I am doing with Threads and have random faults
• I (company) want to LOCK IN programmes into MY ecosystem, so, let's invent MY LANGUAGE (google, apple)

Someone just pop up and create a NEW language that "solves" one of the above by using weird paradigms or convoluted logic.

Does it solve THAT specific issues, yes.... is it total crap for the remaining part.... yes... are the fanboy paid to shine ligght on that issue only, yes.

And then there are the "useful idiots", always have been there, that parrot the fanboy

How I hate the useful idiot that parrot the denigratory words for Java that Microsoft has spread around the internet....

Find a good mentor

you are not supposed to use gdb directly, normally it is used by the IDE to present you with a simpler view of what is happening.

I am on Linux

and..... systemd is just NSA work to hack into it

will be something like the current CPU bugs, somebody will say, oh, yes, there is a new vulnerability on systemd

It is not just Java breaking things here and there, it is the new normality

It used to be that restarting a PC was a reliable operation, not anymore, some models may hang at reboot due to some stupid interaction with ACPI or whever stupid "smart" bios.

Case in point, systemd, never seen more shit in one single piece of software.

They surely think we are chimp in the zoo

Microsoft: Hey, throw a few nuts at those chimp in the cage....

Java is sooo bad that Microsoft made its own version C# and the web made Javascript and basically everybody is reinventing the weel to do the same thing.

But I suppose that if we use a reliable and proven technology there willl be no bugs to fix and "new code to write"

Think of the "fifth element", when zorg breaks the glass to have people working....

This is current stauts of computing

Please upvote, it is true

A copmpany is naturally inclined in "capturing" a customer

It is not the programmer that makes things "complicated", it is sales and marketing and what they say is that if you provide "unique content" then the end user is happy an "loyal" -> to provide "unique content" quite often you need to "play the rules", happens.

It all boils down to how "smart" the user base is, looking at facebook users and how thay share the most intimate things...

Solutions ? cannot see one, yet..

Yes, we need problem solving skills, but programming may not be the best tool to teach it. Debating, expressing yourself and trying to "win" a debate is also really insighful, maybe more than programming.
