I am making music right now


I think our brain's power lose its functionality,"thinking", when we forced to something.


I learned that following your heart and being in love with a specific programming language aren't what make you a software engineer or even a CEO.


I've learned people who hate Java are basically racists who hate Indians.

And all you have to do to find them is say that and wait for people who say "No! Java is bad because..."


Wow is this true? Hopefully I don’t come across this way. I’m a huge Kotlin fan but strongly dislike Java for its verbosity.

Is hating on Java really a dog whistle like you say?


Wow … that’s quite the comment. I can’t say I’ve made this connection. Could you expand on this more?

My gripes with Java are because I feel it’s

1. A poor language to introduce students to computer science

2. Contains a poor api for date and time

3. Encourages overly verbose oop design

4. Has an infuriating garbage collector that’s often extremely hard to debug. Most advice just tells me to use a different garbage collector.

5. Not a fan of the thread story.

6. Large complex libraries like spring often dominate the language.

7. License issues… thanks oracle…

8. Often large memory footprints

If you’re hating a language because of a group on people or vice versa perhaps you should look inwards.


I see in a lot of communities without mention anyone that there is a lot of people that actually rude with newbies and they link the lack of knowledge with the lack of intelligence, and I don't know what the relation between them, maybe this person has a knowledge in something else you don't actually have!


I am really amazed at how people, often without any awareness, are persuaded by banks and companies to buy more and more even when they don't actually want the product. I am also amazed by how our minds allow us to feel a sense of satisfaction after buying something we don't even need.


I agree with that as well, the "why" explains the business logic and that makes much more sense to me. Otherwise, I might end up explaining the algorithm (the "what") instead of the business behind it.


I really liked the story; the technology can indeed change our mind gradually and make us accept things we once refused. This actually made me ask: how do we rearrange our ideas based on that?


True somehow, I see a lot of people who don't understand the business well cannot, absolutely, design a good software.
