Margaret Hamilton: Discovered chaos theory and then wrote the software landing the first people on the moon

• Stand in front car
• Shoot the driver if they step on the pedal - that will make the car stop

Remember: there can’t be a woman in office because they get too emotional.

Azure has support for Linux servers. They’ve even made an effort to port Dotnet to Linux. A majority of their cloud infrastructure is Linux it seems.

I don’t think companies are going to ditch their MS365 subscriptions. That would mean getting rid of Outlook and Teams, and that ain’t happening anytime soon.

I wasn’t enjoying Blood Meridian. What life experience do I need to enjoy it?

America: police state controlled by a handful of tech billionaires

Next you won’t be able to own computers yourself. It’s all going to be rented through sky high subscription fees. Technofeudalism intensifies.

They could be praising Satan and they wouldn’t notice anything wrong.

This is what’s most important. Allow for experimentation!

What works well for one team might not work well for your team. What worked well for your team 1 year ago might no longer be what you need now.

What’s the point of the peace prize if it’s going to handed to people in ongoing conflicts?

I think the prize should be abolished. Unlike scientific contributions, peace is hard to quantify.

Well either the AI doomerism is real and we all lose our jobs, or the AI bubble pops and we all lose our jobs.

It’s easy to overestimate how much of software engineering is about coding, when in truth it’s mostly about the code you don’t write.

99% of the time it’s just a basic todo list

Have you noticed how every LinkedIn bro is talking about their vibe coding workflows, but no one is showing what they’ve made with vibe coding?

Writing “iteration” sounds absolutely perverse!

I like it to make it clear when the for loop is about iterating lists and when it’s not. For example, the iterations in Monte Carlo algorithms doesn’t correspond to items in a list.

Outside of the for loop counters i and j, short variable names are awful.

I’ve started to prefer writing it out as ”index” or ”iteration” even in for loop counters. It’s easier to read, and not much harder to type.

The FP in Java is still leagues better than whatever the C++ committee cooked up.
