  • Do 10% of developers do nothing?

  • And that's actually part of the problem: your title doesn't mean anything.

    Not that you're not leading, but what "lead" or "senior" actually means is completely arbitrary.

    In one project I'm lead in, I wrote maybe 5 lines of actual code, because I was in meetings, wrote documentation, did release management (well, I wrote pipelines here, but that's like 200 lines), etc. The actual leg work was done by 4 or five other guys.

    But in another project, I'm lead of myself and another bloke, of course I'm writing code in that one.

    So it's completely possible to have a bunch of guys with the "developer" tag on their title, but they're not doing much developing.

  • That's the thing: You can't know that.

    We don't know what was meant, we don't know what happened.

    So the autistic insistence on nitpicky details adds zero clarity to anything. It's inherently unknowable.

  • The "correct" term is the one the target audience understands to mean what is happening.

    The "difference", again, is academic. They are de facto used interchangeably. Did the author know the difference? No idea. Could anyone tell, which group the people in question belong to? Probably not.

    So what exactly are you trying to achieve here?

  • Actually watch the video, you're way too generous in your analysis.

    The metric is essentially lines of code. That's it.

    So everyone who isn't hacking away ultra verbose code is considered useless. Lead devs and architects often don't write any code at all. They're not unproductive.

  • Statistically speaking, a few of them definitely fucked up at some point and accidentally did the right thing. Or committed suicide.

  • And you really think people use and understand these terms like that?

    You may be correct in the academic sense, but completely wrong in all other senses.

  • Are the Jedi assholes?

    Jump

  • If you want to get all philosophical (which is probably a bit too far, it's George Lucas after all), you could make the argument that the downfall of the Republic is an example of a complacent, non-responsive governmental elite failing to react or even just recognize obvious problems.

    The Jedi are just warrior monks and symptomatic for that. They didn't bring her with them, because they don't care about people that much. They are above the population and act more like demigods.

  • It's a last resort.

    Nationality, race, sex all are things that can't be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he's not that!

    Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can't be proud to be a man if it doesn't matter that you're a man.

  • It would be really great to have some "Python layer" on top of Rust.

    My current work is mostly data mangling web services (Java/Spring Boot) and there's simply no way I could convince anyone (including myself) that Rust is a viable alternative in terms of development speed.

  • What's the most manipulative thing you've ever done?

  • It's just a question of time. Every platform will devolve into either obscurity or cesspool.

  • Especially if you'd add up all the inefficiencies already introduced in the name of efficiency. All those grant proposals, superfluous fluff articles to bump impact factors, etc. are all required overhead to game a system designed to seem efficient.

  • I heard the explanation "conservatives stop thinking if they like the current result".

    If immigrants committed any crime, the obvious solution is to deport all of them. Less immigrants, less crime, sounds great, no further research needed.

    But if it's about something like social security, they go to the ninth layer of indirection to "prove" that it's bad, because now they found a study that slightly agrees with one of their talking points (p ≈ room temperature).

  • Problem is, you almost never know if that's actually true or complete bullshit.

    It seems plausible, but killing virgins for rain also seemed plausible back then in the 70s.

  • And if you remember, that this whole shebang was only started, because Snowden revealed that the NSA spied on all of us, it's getting much much darker.

  • Correct.

    And especially artists, or people aspiring to be artistic, are suffering from an inferiority complex which they try to hide behind grandiose "higher values" of art.

    AI threatens to expose that art is meaningless unless you can use it to distinguish yourself from the plebs, or those you deem plebs.
