What would you recommend instead?


If bought new:

Lidl (if you live in a country where they are active), BlueBricks, or Cobi. But there are half a dozen others which are excellent.

Used Lego is fine, though.

You believe every tech oriented person already knows everything there is in the book?


No, but most will at some point in their career hear about it in comment sections on HN and the like, or in many different forms hear the adage that adding more people to a project makes it later.


Many developers don't spend time on hacker news or even any of the similar forums. To be stereotypical, HN readers seem more likely to be young, working for FAANG in Silicon Valley, and not a middle aged sharepoint integration developer living in the Midwest (although obviously they are also on this site).

I've had developers who treated it like a job, did it, went home, and weren't interested in the Mythical Man Month (but intuitively knew some of these principles).


Everyone experiences things daily without fully appreciating the patterns and insights that could be derived from it (would be exhausting if we did)

The book most definitely helps tech workers.


I'm not a doctor so I won't pretend I understand how these treatments work but:

> Tracey immediately recognised the therapeutic implications, having spent years trying to develop better treatments for inflammatory conditions such as sepsis, arthritis and Crohn’s disease. Existing drugs dampen inflammation, but carry a risk of serious side effects. Here was a technique with the potential to switch off inflammation without the need for drugs.

I don't think anyone wants to switch off inflammation for everyone, all the time or as treatment for everything, but there's treatments where it's desired.


sepsis isn't an "inflammatory condition". It's a death sentence if it isn't dealt with promptly. Lumping that in with arthritis renders this meaningless.


Sepsis occurs when inflammations goes from being localized to being spread throughout your entire body. The bacterial infection is obviously the root of the problem, but it's the inflammation that actually kills. Being able to turn off that severe systemic inflammation might buy doctors precious hours or even days to successfully treat the infection before the patient's critical organ system shut down for good.

As laypeople, should probably take a beat before saying statements made by experts and medical researchers are "meaningless."

From google:

>Sepsis is a highly inflammatory disorder with the presence of organ dysfunction in severe cases and mostly caused by bacterial infection (Bone et al., 1989).


Google uses piper, not git


Isn't Android on git?


AOSP is a distributed as a bunch of git repos, but Google uses an in-house VCS called piper.


We have started using OnDMARC recently https://redsift.com/products/ondmarc which is unfortunately a subscription service, but does add value to us through their "Dynamic DMARC" and other email health goodies, not only reporting.


Within the city limits in a nice-ish neighborhood 1000 EUR per month. I've been living at a 1200 EUR/mo 2br in a hipster neighborhood for the past year and a half here.

If you go to neighborhoods where the locals live or outside the city limits you'll see the price drop considerably. A friend is living one hour away from here and paying 600 EUR for a nice house that's four times the size of my apartment.


  Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Yes
  Technologies: Ruby/Rails and React/Node.js are the ones I've used most recently

I don't want to clutter this too much with buzzwords or stuff I haven't touched for a while.

I've got plenty of experience in backend systems but I've been working on more user-facing stuff lately and I'm really enjoying that.

There's more details in my CV with links to the stuff that's publicly available.

I'm looking for jobs with relocation to Europe or anything remote that'll allow me to work from Europe, I'm an EU citizen.


The article doesn't say it was developed in Russia, it says "The computer itself was developed at a research institute outside Moscow, and production was transferred to the German Democratic Republic"


How do you read "The computer itself was developed at a research institute outside Moscow" to mean anything other than that the computer was developed in Russia?


I really liked TMNT as a kid, though. It's a very hard and frustrating game, but I wouldn't call it one of the worst NES games ever made.
