I particularly hate the elitism of the "perfect programmer" crowd. most of us are out there writing shitty CRUDs in the language of the day.

and the thing we always forget when we get such comments is that most of the time, issues with bad code and layers upon layers of crap, come from the business requirements.

software development is often criticized for lack of formality . but no one ever seriously starts building a house thinking of "refactoring" it into a skyscraper in the future. but with software development we're taught to focus on the house only, and if the time to build a skyscraper comes, we'll see. YAGNI, KISS, etc.

and at the same time if we go building thinking of an eventual skyscraper we end up with stupid, useless shit as "hexagonal architecture" and 32 layers of shit, navigating a sea of interfaces and making the developer experience terrible. (I recently had to add a single property to an API that was built by a "new architect". it took me 2 hours to figure out, and around 8 files changed, not Including tests -because the project had no tests).

Also btw, your story here is irrelevant. You come from a high income country anyways.

Indians going to the USA aren't making money like you are in Europe, and Europe isn't as welcoming as the USA is to immigrants.

During a short time I worked for a german company and a part of the team was in India. Because German bureaucracy kicked them out of the country and they had to stay out while the company sorted their papers. There is a popular youtube channel about a vietnamese girl living in Germany that tells her story of how tough she had it there even after graduating, the stress she had to go through every time she had to renew her visa.

People on H1B in the USA don't really worry about that. It's their company doing the paperwork for them and they're not under the whim of a bureaucrat, like it's in the USA.

I don't want to be aggressive but i mean, you're really a case of "check your privilege".

Every coworker I've talked to (europe-based 30+ software developers) agreed that if they could change one thing in their careers, it would be to try to land a job in the USA in their 20s when they had energy to burn and FAANG base salaries were 150K+ a year. Then move back to Europe before burning out, but with several figures in their bank account, and get a decent job with the added bonus of "former FAANG" in their resume.

Fewer foreign visa holders open up slots for US students and workers.

that's not how it works. companies care about talent, not nationalism. why would anyone hire dumb americans if they can hire very smart asians for the same price?

Because even if you're deported you already made a TON of money, especially if you come from India.

A PhD in america can easily get 100K+ a year, in India? Good fucking luck.

No other country on earth has that level of salaries. So yes, it's a very safe bet. If you do well, you stay in america and become a high income person. If you are unlucky, you get deported and already made more money that you would have made if you left for your home country.

lol "entra" means in spanish "[it] enters" or "[can] enter".

the service for "keeping unauthorized things out" is called "can enter"

It's like the company I work for. Usage of AI is extremely limited (by a CYA training session): do not ever upload any company code or files to the AI.

Also the company hosts everything externally on Github, Gmail, and Google Drive.

Apparently the lawyers believe Google is only training AI on questions you make on Gemini and isn't scanning Gdrive and Gmail for everything (which we literally know they are because they announced "agents" for Gdrive files, and Gmail is full of "agents" too)

I mean, some delays are good. An example of this is when Apple decided to leave only USB-C ports for everything on Macbook Pros, but in the newer generations, they added HDMI back and also an SD card reader.

Which is very welcome. Adding HDMI to a $2k machine costs nothing and can save your ass. If you're a speaker at a conference and need to connect your laptop, it's probably gonna be HDMI, certainly not USB-C.

The SD card is also welcome by photographers and videographers who make heavy use of SD cards.

Certainly two very valid use cases for people who own macs really, and that aren't a compromise for other users (they're not taking anything away by adding HDMI or SD).

USB-C promised a lot and it hasn't materialized. I wanted to hop into USB-C at the very beginning, about 8 years ago, and it's only become worse. USB-C may or may not have PD, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, etc. Apple does it mostly right with "all ports supporting everything", PC manufacturers are hit and miss, and it seems to be mostly a laptop thing. I'm not sure about the current state of desktop motherboards but last time I checked, they didn't really support Thunderbolt or DP and they only included one single USB-C connector.

If you're a laptop user, many monitors include USB-PD to charge your laptop, and DP to send video to the monitor, plus a USB channel for USB-C. You basically use your monitor as a docking station, with a single, thin cable. It's very neat. But AFAIK, you can't do this with a desktop computer.

If what you get in exchange of your money is a license to use a product for an indeterminate amount of time, then you're not "buying" but rather "leasing".

How about you first get your english right before going all "well obviously"?

The difference being that the DVD, by nature of the license being tied to the physical object, is perpetual and irrevokable. So when you buy the physical item, you buy both the item and the license and both are tied to each other. The expectation of the meaning of the word "buy" is very clear: you bought an item, you keep it forever.

When you "buy" a movie from amazon, you don't get to keep it forever. You keep it only for as long as the license holder considers. Which may be forever, or may be 2 weeks. In this case, the meaning of the word "buy" has been subverted to mean "lease for an indefinite amount of time".

that's all this guy is about. playing other people's music and doing commentary on them.

I don't know about them but zoomers are insufferable now with their "late stage capitalism" cliche. Everything they don't like is capitalism, and it's a symptom of "late stage" capitalism. They are as fucking annoying as boomers with their "this country is going straight to hell" bullshit. Both are obnoxious and unprofessional, voicing political opinions no one ever asked for.

Since the french "right" proposed cooling government buildings and schools in France, the left is, of course, opposing it. They claim air conditioning is "far right".

AC penetration in France is very small, only 7% of french houses have one. The mortality rates in Europe soar over 150% during heat waves.

This guy is completely disconnected from reality

And in the process you also break HSTS and are unable to access half of the internet.
