Why would she whisper

Some people will refuse other treatments regardless, so you’re not changing the outcome.

Why would someone using another OS say that they use arch?

I’m European so I’m out of the loop. Do you actually have 17% interest rates? I’m getting 2% over here.

That’s different; it implies one of:

• The amount of respect that is due amounts to zero.
• Some amount of respect/disrespect is due, but you are not offering that amount of respect.

“With all due respect” and “with all due disrespect” both contain the exact same amount of respect.

50% increase per 18 months yields

0.03 * 1.5^t=0.05 =>

t = 1.26 18-month periods,

or 1.26*18/12 = 1.9 years before the market share is 5%.

They clearly have not been to a Swedish breakfast buffet.

The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

I’d say most of the GoF patterns evolved in a C++ toolchain (and then the Java junior devs started a cargo cult around them that has survived to this day). The book was never as language-independent as the authors envisioned it to be—in fact I’d argue that with the right programming language design the patterns happen implicitly or are obsolete.

Are you autistic?

I do.

I thought I was in the target audience until I found it requires a paid subscription to tell my friends I just pooped.

I disagree with almost everything in this article, especially the premise. Technical debt is just an added cost of maintenance and development over time, like an “interest” paid in terms of work hours. It doesn’t matter if the developers have knowledge about it - a company with lower technical debt will develop the same feature faster, because they’re not fighting the existing code base as much.

Most of the technical debt I’ve been forced to create has been with the knowledge of better ways from the get-go. We just chose a worse design for short-term gains (time to market / ran out of money) and realize we have to pay with a higher development cost in the long term. It’s very much like taking out a loan to deliver faster.

I hate it, but in economics a company is not considered to leverage all its potential unless it takes on some debt - a debt free company moves too slowly to be competitive. The same applies to technical debt. You can have too much of it but you can also have too little. It’s a strategic choice.

It’s not that simple

So basically the goal is to successfully convince people to “eat my dick”

So enlist a professional photographer before sending dick pics. Gotcha.

Well, it has been my experience that kindness is in the eye of the beholder.
