  • A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

    The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

    I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

    The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

    There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.




  • Sure but that’s why the message is being sold. The right wing is a post truth political movement. They are the alpha wave of the next global fascism movement.

    Seeing the number of legal migrants who support Trump reminds me of the German Jews who supported the rise of Hitler.

    It feels like a necessary step.

    The genocide this movement is pushing for will not care about legal immigration status.

    We’re past the echo phase. We’re deep into the, “I replaced Jew with Immigrant” phase.
