For the record, the 100% correct answer to your name being called in standup is, "I am working on the task which is In Development. It will be delivered to the QA team on time. No blockers."
I’m curious to know your thoughts on the following counterpoints:
> I have developed my signature so that nobody can replicate it fluently.
Robots that hold and move a pen have been created to forge signatures.
> I also use special one off archival ink that nobody else in the world has.
I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not because this is absolutely hilarious, but in the event that you are, does this have any purpose? You could use this excuse to secretly “poison” a contract that you intend on breaking (by using a normal pen to sign it).
> Emails do not have any default mechanism like that, especially if they only rest on servers of the interested parties.
Gmail accounts are free and support DKIM. If both parties conduct business over Gmail, those messages have irrevocable sender authenticity. This inability to refute the contents of an email spelled disaster in the USA for the Democratic political party during their 2016 presidential campaign.
DKIM signatures are required, if you want to exchange mail with Google. Consequently just about all mailservers nowadays append DKIM signatures.
A DKIM signature attests that some subset of the headers (typically including the From: header) are "authentic". The mailserver cannot attest the authenticity of the sender; it cannot attest more than it knows, which is that the logged-in account is allowed to send mail using that sender address. It can't attest who was using the account.
DKIM is a spam-prevention scheme. It doesn't provide non-repudiability.
The main thing that I dislike about disappearing messages is that there’s an obnoxious clock and username next to each and every message, even if you write two in quick succession. It really breaks up the flow of the chat when someone is having a stream of consciousness moment.
That’s not necessarily a belief that holds true universally. Plenty of developers have found that React and JSX are two technologies that have beautifully matured outside of their initial home in the web browser ecosystem.
To use your phrasing, React and JSX are always going to be there regardless of what is fashionable for them to be wrapped around.
If you mean React Native, many of those devs are now adopting Flutter fashion, at least from the iOS and Android corners of the Internet I happen to move around.
One might say we’re already there. Median wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Housing prices are at an all time high, pushing rents higher and higher. Our service economy, upon which many stagnating nations thrive, was hit hard by COVID-19.
At the same time, REITs are poised to purchase the impeding foreclosure and eviction-driven dive in housing with all cash offers, bolstered by the same 0% interest rate that drove the prices in the retail sector to stave off the pandemic depression. Yet those low interest rates in the retail sector make this corporate takeover possible.
No IT department in the world has that level of resource, hence the "cybersecurity skills shortage", rolling battles between IT and engineering/sales/marketing, and Shadow IT.
The Zen of IT is giving your users the tools and knowledge they need and locking off the things that are actually illegal. The former use cases no longer bother you, the latter cases don't have exceptions to argue.
I agree that this is not a one-size-fits-all solution. However, if a business user has deep understanding of the problem domain and deep knowledge of the data model behind it (because they may have written it), then I want to move them into my tech organization.
We can always find new Actuarial Science grads.
It's the opposite of the "IT reports to CFO" problem.
Unfortunately, the capitalist system often ends up in rent-seeking. Property rights gives folks the rights to hoard resources and rent them out. This is a complicated topic with no clear yanswer. Obviously, owning, leveraging, and renting assets is a motivator and reward to those who are winning in the game.
My city is already at 50% vaccination rate. The curve is flattened. COVID cases are surging because of the reduced restrictions. If you go out, you’ll become part of herd immunity. You’ll get COVID.
Absolutely. The best thing I did for my React code base was to separate the entire view layer from the logic layer. That literally means I had components called e.g. UserProfileView that were stateless and unit tested, and another set of components called e.g. UserProfile that managed state.
Push all your callbacks into a separate component.
