In most production cases, there is no luxury of debugger.
In my current $job, all we get is logs from 70+ node cluster and that too in a shared-nothing architecture. You have to stitch together varied datapoints (job logs on multiple nodes, netstat o/p, job logs of other services, http access logs, tcpdump, etc) to even prove that problem is on the customer side and not ours.
The article is a bit of a "dog bites man", but itsobservations are valid. False assumptions are what caused > 50 per cent of my bugs, and for bugs in production, reasonable logging is what you need. The point with going away from the computer and letting your brain process things is good too, and the point about postmortem is spot on. I hate it when my colleagues say "fixed" without explaining how the error emerged in the first place, and they mostly already learnt to supply context to correction of non-trivial bugs. (I try to lead by example and send detailed e-mails after major fixes.)
Sure, nothing in the article is wrong. But if someone has to be told most of these things, and they already are a professional developer? What were they doing when they were supposed to be learning their profession?
I feel they might have replaced an AI-generated em-dash here: "Set up a short chat or team session to share your debugging tricks - what’s working, what’s not, where time gets lost."
If we're going to give anecdotal data, when I lived in NYC I was hired as an H1B, and every single other H1B I knew was paid way more than the median wage. But these were companies not trying to abuse the system. I do not doubt that there are bad actors.
I do agree that there should be minima to prevent abuse. I do not agree that every H1B hire was to abuse the system.
In the early 2010s there were hiring shortages, the startup that hired me would have probably preferred saving on the attorney fees and the 6+ months it took between the offer and the start date. For a new H1B you have to prepare the paperwork in March at the latest, apply the first week of April, for a start date of October 1st. And not only that, but with the quotas and the lottery you're absolutely not guaranteed that your hire is going to make it. All things being equal without a shortage or the ability to underpay, it is not an attractive solution.
H1Bs do push salaries down, because there is more "supply" of workers, so it should probably only be used for hiring for areas with shortages, but even then you can have downturn like what we're having in tech, and some companies may keep their H1Bs over FTE because they are less of a flight risk and can't negotiate their salaries as well. Even with a shortage, this means that employees with that specific skill will be paid less, now it's more of a matter of which one is better for the economy/society.
I like the idea, but also it wouldn't feel fair for some services that I use like Twitch, or some cooking websites. I get that they sometimes really abuse all that stuff, but also I feel like they deserve some kind of compensation.
Hello - I checked with somebody internal at Spotify and the recruiting team could not find these job openings. They are not on the normal Spotify recruiting portal: https://www.lifeatspotify.com/jobs?l=los-angeles
Maybe they're cranking out AI SaaS products to see what sticks. I was going to say low effort, but it's not zero effort and does offer some kind of service. I could have used some AI help for my kitchen design, I hated the process.
It's cool conceptually, but I think for family I haven't known, for family I have known and is aging/deceased that would make me pretty sad so I probably wouldn't use it.
