How is killing 30,000 civilians defensive? How is continuing to take hostages in both the West Bank and Gaza defensive? How is targeting journalists reporting on the conflict defensive? On a prima facia basis, it's laughable to call it "defensive."
Hamas's rockets in Gaza are high school science fair-level munitions. It's not like they're getting billions in US taxpayer money.
Israel is just using this as an excuse to "liquidate" the Gaza Strip.
> “devops” has literally no meaning. I’m only 6 years or so into my career, but I can count on a single hand the amount of devops engineers I’ve worked with that can actually “dev” - and by dev, I mean do stuff like dig into application code and suggest modifications for the infrastructure, or write their own full fledged libraries.
To me that is simply not DevOps. That's just Operations. Businesses are throwing around the title without a care for the word
Personally, I mostly set the length to 15 lines because too often 10 lines maximum just doesn't work in real life codebases
> Do Rubyist really write code like this as a second nature?
In my opinion yes, only the "old timers" that came from some other technologies write these annoyingly long methods (with many temp variables) and then they "wine" about rubocop.
> I mean, if I have to jump around half a dozen different methods and classes every time I look at a method, does it really help comprehension at all?
If you have to jump around, then the method names were chosen badly.
> You call devs Junior until they have over 5 years experience? Wow, that’s harsh
Less than 3-4 years is absolutely junior dev. Up until around 7 or 8 years is mid-level. Passing beyond that would be senior dev and the other titles then follow.
With the obvious note that it's not strictly time bound - someone could easily get stuck at mid level for much longer if they aren't progressing. It's pretty hard to still be only junior after 7+ years
I still very much consider myself junior but someone I know with less experience than me just recently got a job with "senior" in the title. I have seen senior job postings that say something like "3+ years of experience."
I absolutely do not consider myself senior and I don't think I will for at least seven more years.
One of the big reasons I realized I still _was_ a junior developer was because of Sandi Metz's content showing me how long of a journey I still have to go :-P
I don't personally think it's strictly about the time one's been programming, although in my experience that can be a good benchmark for e.g. how good one's abstraction, API design, etc. skills are.
You are using absolute numbers to make it look more extreme than it is. 107000$ are 94000€ at the moment. Considering the living cost in the USA, it might still be higher in the USA but not that extremely more
No, the numbers I quoted are correct. If they seem extreme, it's because they are compared to everybody else not named Switzerland. I'm using absolute numbers (what?) because those are the dollar wage figures directly from the BLS for software developers. Living costs in the US are not higher than in Germany. That is only true in the most expensive places like eg NYC, SF, Sea.
If you're in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas or several dozen other major cities, cost of living is very reasonable in the US. Your healthcare costs are typically either entirely, or mostly covered by your employer if you're an engineer making $100k+. In Atlanta your all-in effective tax rate is under 30% at $110,000; in Dallas it's under 24%. What's the problem?
That bloody civil requires resources from somewhere, so a bi geopolitical power with interests in that chaos is necessary
