What OOP refers to is not “writing code” but “designing the code.” Everyone can write a book. Even I can. It will be a fucking shitty book, because I don’t know how to create suspense, give depth to characters, or any of that stuff. But it’s still a book. Writing code is easy. Writing good code is hard. If you want a program to fetch the current outside temp from an API you could throw together random lines of code that vaguely does what you want that you found on stackoverflow and iterate until it works. Will it catch edge cases? No. Will it output in a pretty format? No. Will it be maintainable? No. Will it be the next Facebook? Hard no. But you did write code.

Writing code is easy. Writing good code is hard. And that is why we have door stoppers called “Clean Code” to help us on our way. You might notice that the “how to code” books aren’t much thicker than a a pamphlet. But if it ever as much as touches on the topic of good code it will make for a door stopper worthy of a nuclear bunker’s entrance.

And the realist in me says that no one outside Britain knows what Elizabeth Tower is. And probably half of Britain.

Jeg har selv mærket en kæmpe forskel nærmest natten over. Mit feed var ulideligt. Jeg bruger ikke LinkedIn så meget selv, men når man er jobsøgende er der ikke meget vej udenom. Nu får jeg flere opslag fra mine connections og ingen opslag som “I går spildte min datter sin kakao i bilen. Det lærte mig disse ting omkring at drive et startup”

Uanset hvad er det ikke kønt, men tiden vil vise hvad det er. Det kan også være noget så simpelt som forældremyndighed.

Lige nu er det senior til principal software engineer jeg søger. Den her var principal. Men jeg startede ud med at søge i projektledelse og andre stillinger der binder udvikling og forretning, hvilket jeg også har god erfaring med. Det gav bare ikke pote hvorfor jeg nu kigger på udvikling i startups hvor der også er krav om ejerskab.

Jeg håber noget lignende kan ske for mig snart. Andenpladser er ikke helt så sjove :p

Nu ser det ud til at jeg samler på andenpladser i jobsøgninger. Den gode nyhed: Jeg bliver ikke længere ghosted. Den dårlige nyhed: Andenplads er stadig ikke et job…

“Dine kvalifikationer og baggrund lyder meget lovende og vi er glade for at du har sendt os en ansøgning. Men vi bliver nødt til at informere dig at vi ikke kan fortsætte processen, da vi har valgt at holde samtaler med andre kandidater.”

Hvor mange andenpladser skal man samle sammen før man kan indløse det til en førsteplads?

Danish here: This isn’t exactly a foreign concept. All of my project exams in University had a written part (ranging from 50-150 pages), sometimes a technical part, and then an oral part where we defended the report. That’s one per semester.

Defending an essay would likely not take more than 15min, 3-4 hours was enough to probe a group of 7 to figure out who should get what grade based on contribution (or lack thereof if they just rode the other’s coattails). 5min to present the essay with a short summary, 5min for questions to probe the student, and 5 minutes for buffer.

I could even see this be used as a combined written/oral exam where you get a grade for both in a language class. If the essay is shit but your oral articulation in the foreign language is excellent then you could get top grade orally while failing on the written exam part. That means no actual loss of time.

The hard part is that most grades in our version of high school (gymnasium) are based on the teacher’s observations of your abilities in class. It is only some classes that are randomly selected for a end-of-year exam to save time. This idea about defending an essay wouldn’t work in the rest of the classes.

Well, obviously he meant sublemmy!

Nu bliver jeg nødt til at boykotte EA endnu mere.

Who the fuck believes this shit?

Jeg ville ønske jeg havde din optimisme. Jeg er bare bekymret ved at de brugte begrebet fundet “i live” og ikke “i god behold”

Men vi finder nok ud af hvilken vej det peger når pressemeddelelsen i morgen kommer. Men om ikke andet er det nok enten en tur med interrail eller slavehandel. Hvilket også er lidt af et spænd…

Det er også min tanke. Ungarn er også lidt berygtet for at være et transitland for menneskehandel.

Det kunne være værre, men det er nok ikke lige dér man har lyst til at finde sin forsvundne 15 årige datter.

Kæft hvor genialt

The AI is most likely trained on the human mods.

Because the box office isn’t adjusted for inflation.

Det der kommer til at ske er at der er en masse tomme biler der kører rundt 24/7 fordi det er billigere end at betale for parkering når de ikke bliver brugt. Det er der pt. store udfordringer med nogle steder i USA.

Christians haven’t exactly been saints either. Let’s not forget the thirty year war, the European wars of religion, or the crusades just to name a few.
