I eventually came back. Let's see if it can be more joyful.

@heidiann360 I prefer systems that crash to ones that have gray failures. I'd rather build for kaboom than a whack a mole game of find the slow.
English
Crash fault tolerance gives a false sense of security. Just because your distributed system can handle crashes does not mean it can handle grey failures such as slow nodes, even if they feel “less serious” than nodes crashing.

@redrapids I think you are going to get a lot of replies that are correlated rather than causal. I see this a lot when people say things like "pure functions" as though they cause quality rather than being correlated.

#programmers, what's an easy technique that most people don't do that could improve code quality significantly?

@redrapids "Measure twice, cut once".
This can be in many forms, but using a second means to describe your code. Explain it to someone else with voice, comments, design doc, etc etc.
It's remarkable how often the restating will show flaws in the logic.

I'm happy to do this as long as it is appreciated by management and my salary, bonuses, and promotions reflect it.
My job is not to make an organization successful, it's to do what my organization wants ie, what they reward.

“That’s not my job” The more senior you become, the more your job will involve filling gaps and stepping up to handle situations that aren’t anyone’s job. Your job is to make your organization successful. (whatever that means) There is no “that’s not my job” anymore.
