As the field of SE/CS is getting more press, graduates are flooding the market. Yet, the curriculum given in many universities still seems barren when it comes to professionalism, forcing newcomers to learn via unpolished street creds. Not only is it leading to mysticism about what skills are required but is also leading to a lack of discipline, duty, and craftsmanship.

A fully automated cleanup strategy. This is a comparison of different programming idioms for performing cleanup work. Common use cases where this is used include: Locking and unlocking synchronization locks. Opening and closing files. Canceling asynchronous operations that aren’t needed any more. Allocation and deallocation. A naive solution: Cluttered cleanups int frobnicate() { set_up(); int err = foo(); if (err) { clean_up();....

Denver Skyline from a Remote Worker's Office; Photo Credit - Kim Corbett; Thank You) I have been, with one 9 month exception, a fully remote worker since 1999 and a manager of remote workers since 1996. Heading into 2020 that puts me at over 20 years of solid, day in and day out remote work so, I'll admit, that I know a thing or two about remote work. I've both been a remote worker, managed remote workers and I think all possible perm....

Nikita Prokopov, on the growing complexity of software and the shrinking number of people who understand it: “In programming, we are developing abstractions at an alarming rate. When enough of those are stacked, it becomes impossible to figure out or control what’s going on down the stack. ... Docker and Electron are the most hyped new technologies of the last five years. Both are not about improving things, figuring out complexity or r....

I am obsessed with autocompletion in shell mode. Running a shell in shell-mode instead of a terminal emulator has so many advantages. You can treat the whole buffer just like a normal Emacs buffer. You can copy and paste and edit the line normally. You can hook it into native Emacs functionality. You can even display images! However there is one big disadvantage. You lose access to the state the shell.
