"trope of programmers being low IQ", I've never heard of this, but then maybe I'm just another low IQ programmer

I think op meant the opposite. Makes more sense in context.

We have a job that runs https://pitest.org/, analyse the report and tweak the codebase as per the results. Not sure it's ever found a bug that's likely to happen in prod but definitely gives us a confidence boost

We use this as well. It caught some lurking bugs when we first turned it on. Since then it catches things before merging, so it is harder to keep metrics. It did just point out a bug in a PR of mine the other day so it’s at least doing something :)

Unwoke candidate: "I just want to follow orders"

https://milgram.hr is gonna be my next bootstrap!

Ironic, as that is exactly what the unwoke people think about the woke people. They see it as an ideology that you have to "take the knee" to, a ka "follow orders", to be accepted into the community.

I think at either extreme its probably true. I don't spend my time signaling on linked in, but I do like to have a "diverse" team. Things just feel more even when you aren't surrounded by the same types, and there is space in that for white people with right wing views

I wasn't aware all the other job boards were for woke people

Linkedin timeline is worse than Facebook these days.

That's not implied by the existence of a special interest job board.

Many companies engage in woke politics and activism. How would you go about filtering them out on all the other job boards?

Been that way for at least 5 years https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10190846

There's a few articles in the old comments that explains it's use case a little

Why not just have white text on a white background? No idea what's in the article

Only if you disable JavaScript it's white text on white background.

It's current trend to write CSS styles in JavaScript.

On Desktop I see black text on white background, although the videos don't seem to load.

Reading mode to the rescue!

It's like #222 on #FFF ... not bad contrast?

Not sure why, but on my phone it's barely readable.

Night mode or dark theme related maybe?

Some sites don't set a body background color thinking it will always be white.

Might be related.

The font could be made bold..

Extra thin font violates accessibility standards.

Firefox reader view saves me on a regular basis.

Same, I think it provides some UI components over some common dependencies/services/infrastructure for Java apps but still after reading the site and repo I wouldnt be surprised to learn I'm completely wrong

Netbeans was better/easier to use than Eclipse for a long time in my opinion (100% accept that isn't worth a whole lot). I vaguely remember that in about 2010/2011 trying to use the maven and git plugins for eclipse together and hitting a lot of errors. Netbeans wasn't perfect but it worked AND used the system installations of git/mvn. Also, Ive never understood why Eclipse insists (at least last time I used it) on importing files/directories into some sort of workspace decoupling the files you see in the IDE from those on the disk.

Switched to jetbrains IDEs now though ha

I studied Java then taught it for a couple of years about 2001/2. I even got the Sun Java Certification. As luck would have it, I never programmed professionally as Java developer. Last year I decided to contribute some patches to a Business Intelligence (BI) tool written in Java. I could only afford a few hours a week. I tried Eclipse, didn't get anything done for a month. Switch to Netbeans, and was able to contribute my first patch within a few hours. Most things just worked, I didn't have a good handle on the intricacies of Netbeans but I was productive. I know Oracle is "evil" but that didn't stop us using Java. Not sure why Netbeans usage is higher. It really is a good IDE.

I dont know if I can "recommend" this as we are just starting out with it, but have a look at reflect.io
