Yes, it grows timelines. Doesn't allow devs to "shortcut" real work or degrade the original ask by finding a library that gets you "70% there."

However, this is the ONLY policy that doesn't open you up to these kind of insane attacks.

Another example: I was charged with "not a single dropped package" for the entire frontend streaming 270,000+ videos per second (8m RPS!).

Many of the devs wanted this or that python/ruby/bowser library.

I implemented training there. Teach a man to fish, kind of thing.

Perhaps one such example was at a #fintech banking startup. NuGet was the curent hotness and a dev wanted to use a custom jquery lib.

I blocked the PR, and immediately interviewed the dev.

Turns out the code was horrible, riddled with uncaught exceptions, etc.

I ended up writing the func myself.

Throughout my career, I have painstakingly opened and reviewed almost every "package", "library", "include" of every project.

100s if not 1000s

I've been ridiculed for not using popular packages, and even reprimanded for "taking too long" when reviewing big packages, delaying or refusing projects.

Given the happenings this year this objection is understandable. FDA was already stretched thin before and with the anti-science "leadership" now it should not be considered a trusted regulator - at least for the next 3 years.

LOL. This entire article is about a single MacBook Pro dropping $200.

Uh, no they haven't. Plenty of articles on the rise of prices over the last few months, jacking up new memory build costs by 4x.

Thought HDD prices, which started to rise 50% this summer, are starting to recover.

All because of AI demand.

I spent 2m looking, but I can't find a link to the source code on ur website.

Thanks! Yeah, but why have a login requesting so much?
