I was working at a theatre really late one night, and as I was leaving town a girl just got into my car. She thought I was a taxi, but she was *incredibly* drunk. It was *way* out of my way, but I drove her home, make sure she made it in, and left. There are good guys out there.

This documentary was great. I also like the last experiment they were running that didn’t work how they though it should either. The last words being “raise the torch up” :D

It’s not the undergrad degrees - it’s the research. Many SV companies sprung out of research projects, or ideas from researchers (postgrad or staff) that wouldn’t have in other environments.

That snippet is the key part of why this is so different. Sure there are interesting things about the malware itself but it being delivered via trusted systems management/monitoring software and practically undetectable (unless know what to look for) broke people’s threat models

Which, to be fair, can hide certain classes of bugs (Heisenbug - like memory or race conditions), but that’s a reach. Throwing tools out your toolbox that increase execution speed by reduces cognitive speed is really smart, because we know CPUs are the long-pole in development ;)

I sympathize - it’s hard to recognize the F4 because with the energy crisis they can only run it at gas mark F3, so it doesn’t have that “wooooosh” sound, but more “raaaw”, which at a distance sounds quite like a Canberra, especially during mating season.

Another example of Microsoft being too early with an idea, and on the wrong platform. I know there’s a lot of “Clippy hate” out there, but it did help people do simple tasks on complex products. Fast forward 10 years and Siri, Cortana, Google Now are Clippy impersonators.

Depends on what you are debugging. If it’s a distributed system, or a long-running bug, or a Heisenbug, then “debug by printf” is a reasonable strategy. Trying to wrangle these bug types in an IDE is just as crazy.

This was a story that I used to tell my software engineering students - requirements and architectural choices tend to live around *much* longer than you expect.
A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter:
What's the big deal about railroad tracks?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?

So, never written anything complex enough?
Or just debug by printf?
Maybe an ML engineer (or formal methods) where if something isn’t working throw it out and start again?
Either way, IMO no “real” engineer would be proud of that statement.

Bugs are implementation flaws - you can scan code for them and they have a pattern to look for. Flaws (design or otherwise) is where the code works as intended but has unintended side-effects. Those you have to (re)do design reviews and look much more holistically for.

One of the reasons people stay at MSFT for so long is because they can have multiple careers, doing very different things (search, games, hardware, etc) without changing company. Or they can go very deep on one thing (OS, compilers, etc) when there’s few places that also do that.

Somewhat cart-before-horse here. Cortana died not because Microsoft couldn’t figure out how to monetize it (tho that was certainly talked about) but because when Windows phone was shut down there was no (usable) platform for her to be on. It didn’t get to being profit concern 😢

What Netflix is doing isn’t “dumb shit”. It is to you (and me), but their program management, and A/B testing, has that this increases engagement and follow-ok viewing. Stickiness is king on these platforms.
