The users that need rock solid code can get it, but they pay a lot for it. Everyone else has found they can live with a degree of "move fast and break things" because it's seriously cheap.
Software that costs as much as a single employee's salary can practically run a business. Cheap and rapid software development is priced into the whole economy and the economy would look very different if it wasn't.
This isn't to say we can't do things better than we do now, but anyone who thinks we should limit ourselves to only writing 100% reliable code isn't living in the real world.

null | Elavid | null | Make is great if you just need to write down a few simple shell commands to run that might have some dependencies among each other.
But I've been using CMake for most serious C/C++ development lately. Compared to make, I see these advantages:
- It works with multiple build systems: it can generate Makefiles, ninja files (which are faster), or Microsoft Visual Studio projects.
- It automatically works with out-of-tree builds.
- It automatically does dependency tracking so when a header file changes the right things get recompiled.
- It has nice support for configure-time options, like whether this is a release build, and selecting which software components to build. The options can be selected in the user-friendly `cmake-gui` or on the command line when running `cmake`.

Exactly. It's the same reason companies outsource production to China. All things factored, it's cheaper. Sure, there will be some bad runs but you don't see companies like Apple withdrawing (or having recalls). The same goes for development; some sprints might have some unforeseen issues.
Let me ask you this. Have you been to the engineering dept on the local university's campus? How many of the students were of Asian descent? It's the same reason employers cannot find white or black males/females for employment.
According to Bayes' theorem, the likelihood of finding someone with a similar skill set and pay requirement is almost negligible. You'll just waste more time looking for that glimmer of hope.
When you are looking for something particular, it's best to shop in areas that have lots of it so you get competitive pricing. Whether it's production runs or software development.

I care about making you defend your position, because you're wrong.
In what way were the Disney firings in 2015 about ageism? IIRC they were 100% about cost. And TBH, probably politics and infighting. (It usually is).
Do you have any evidence of ageist practices? Like, say, a court case in which an employer was found guilty of this practice and it affected more than a couple people? I'm not saying it doesn't happen; I'm saying that the idea that we are inundated with H1-Bs replacing perfectly good 35 year old programmers because they are old is ridiculous.

null | mmstick | null | I have no idea why you continue to seek to argue with your strawman.
> It was not a strawman
I have already explained it few times already, but I guess I have to explain it again, this time by breaking it down for you.
1) You constructed an argument against a point that I never made. I never made the statement that I had mastered systems/Linux software development. I stated that after college, I then went on to mastering that area, which is an area completely outside the scope of the degree I went for. I've made a ton of progress in doing so, hence my list of areas that I can now comfortably program in.
2) You chose to quote out the inconvenient parts of my sentence because it doesn't fit with the argument you are trying to make. Had you quoted the rest of the sentence, your argument would never be able to stand on it's own. Your point that I stated that I had mastery when I merely stated that I was going on to master would never stand.
3) This is the precise definition of a strawman argument. Rather than arguing against a statement that I made, you argued against a statement I did not make, and you only continue to add on to an imaginary argument that you've conjured in your head.
4) There is a difference between someone stating that they have **gone on to master something** versus **have mastered something**, and yet you continue to argue that I stated the latter rather than the former. I understand that English is hard, but your continued denial that I said something that I clearly didn't is not helpful.
5) You're just being a grade A asshole, like many other redditors in this community. You should take some time off the Internet to learn how to properly communicate with others with respect and kindness, versus seeking out to put down everyone you see in your path through the anonymity of the Internet to feel better about yourself.

null | agent-plaid | null | There are email encryption standards. I'm aware of two:
* PGP, which is _ridiculously complex_ to use for the average user (key sharing and verification are manual processes), and not natively supported in most cases (plugins and special apps ahoy)
* S/MIME, which is _slightly_ less complex and typically supported by default, but moves the web of trust into the CA system instead, which has been so great for Comodo, DigiNotar, WoSign, and Symantec. It's tricky to find an S/MIME cert for pay, and I don't trust a "free" one (am I the product?)
Nobody I know uses either of them—I have gpg for checking software releases (for the few packages that the development team bothers to sign), and nobody uses S/MIME. Only my technical friends have ever even heard of either of them…
That's for end-to-end encryption. Encrypted _transit_ (protection of the connection between servers) is fairly common now, but doesn't help all that much. Each server that handles the message gets to see the contents, so any tapped server can spill all messages running through it… but any server also has the option of doing spam filtering. | null | 0 | 1491320960 | False | 0 | dftikft | t3_63auwj | null | null | t1_dfte0rx | null | 1493789318 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
