Do you think "lines of code" is a useful measurement of developer work? Because I definitely don't.

An irrelevant metric. As absurd as IBM’s attempt to pay COBOL devs by lines of code. Ideally you ship 50 lines that are intelligent vs a bunch of AI generated shit. Just saying, cuz this thinking is gonna fail companies in a big way. They’re already really bad at this.🇺🇸 🇺🇦 ✊🏻 @adron@metalhead.club (@Adron)Sat, 27 May 2023 19:10 +0000

My favourite feature in #Java: the generally small amount of drama in the community.Gunnar Morling 🌍 (@gunnarmorling)Sun, 28 May 2023 15:29 +0000
I don’t know what the drama is with rust. I just know that everyone right now is saying there’s drama with rust. Which is bad for the language because outsiders like me rightfully or wrongfully just develop an opinion the language is toxic.

TIL that movie "trailers" are named thus because they were originally shown *after* the movie, as advertisements for what to watch next. I never even thought about how wrong this word is for something shown often even before the movie is even released.

Apple saying they “pay developers” billions each year is like a bank saying they “pay” people that use their ATM. It’s our money! From paying customers! All Apple did was carry the bag from one place to another, and, in the process, dip their greedy fingers in it. Apple does not *pay* us for anything. They give us our own money after extracting a tax.

you don't lose your engineers because they're solving dumb technical problems, but because leadership is bad. if leadership makes some sense then people do the work they need to do.
We spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools or put developers out of work, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.
40 straight years of supposed innovators whining like absolute babies at the faintest hint of government oversight, promising just endless Utopias if we embrace just two choices: either zero oversight at all, or shitty regulations they get to write that coddle the biggest and wealthiest
