"It's good that samples are easily available, as code often explains a concept better than documentation for many developers."
This is not good. They are just too lazy (or rushed) to read any documentation.
We did a major project years ago where the lead architect thought a particular system was behaving in a certain way because he did not read the documentation. He thought the system was load balanced when in fact is was just fault tolerant. The system collapsed under load requiring a number of different work-arounds that are still in place even after the initial problem was factored out.
These people have taken over. They are now development managers, senior developers, and architects.
You know how you learn not deploy shit code to production? When you have to support it. Most of the people in the above mentioned roles have never had to support software in production, much less troubleshoot the root cause. I have, and the most common issue has been copy-pasta code and snippets from popular websites and blogs (sprinkle in the failure to read the documentation).
All corporations remove support far away from developers. All corporations have absolute shit software despite the army of professionals working for them. They throw it over the wall and call it a day. The managers insulate the team from issues by lying to management or not telling them at all.
Shh... don't give them any ideas. Managers and executives already think everything is easy/simple. If they hear about this it will only lead to more ham-fisted bullshit. Never mind, we have already jumped the shark.
Yeah...anyone who runs a search and employs the first snippet they find is a moron. There is context and the need to make sure you and most everyone else is not doing it wrong. A lot of times you can find an answer on SO but you need to read all the way to the bottom and follow the links to other SO posts and answers to find the best way to handle something. When you don't know what you are doing it is often difficult to judge what is correct.
TLDR; Cut and paste coding is more involved than just cut and paste.
The reason we are debating this is because scientific management was considered a fad. It turned into evidence based management--which is only practiced by a slim minority of people and is rarely mandated as corporate policy. Why? Because then the sociopaths couldn't run roughshod over everyone with their Richard III bullshit.
We still live in an age ruled by superstition and magical thinking. It is the preferred mode of sociopaths.
Sociopath == someone who wants to be a manger (sit around barking orders, gets pissed off if he has to do something) Leader == someone who organizes because no one else is (gets his hands dirty and makes sure everyone else is happy and marching toward the goal)
If something like this spread then people would have more time to think about the propaganda they are fed every day. The cornerstone of brainwashing is that you must consume a person's time so that they cannot talk with family and friends or read as much. Major corporations will not let up on factory hours unless they are forced to. Making you work 5 days all day ensures that they have you on your days off as well. Get real.
The obsession with fitting everything into 40 hours weeks makes me want to punch someone in the throat. Hours worked is a meaningless metric unless you want to give people an avenue to do nothing.
What size of company do you work at? Large. How many people work there? 50%
CIA also got caught spying on the senate. Lied about it after getting called out... Vice did a FOIA request and some patriot sent them the apology letter that was drafted to the senate but was never sent. They stuck by the lie til the end.
I hope he realizes that the encryption legislation would have to make it through the house and the president....with silly valley screaming the whole way. It will cause more privacy/profit problems for bug tech....and thats the last thing they need right now. Glad he mentioned there are private talks going...that should go over well.
The peepee thing, the pepe thing....all plausible but no one cares. Track something substantive like the deep state or the number of 1950s cars in Cuba.
I have owned a lot of Dell and Lenovo laptops and have never had a single keyboard issue. A lot of them had keybaords you could remove and stick in the dish washer.

"Code samples are pretty much always "not for proudction". "
Someone please notify all the developers and architects about this please. Please. [whimpers]
Mod up.

Python is the new most popular language for throw away code.

We don't have metrics on our current working conditions...so why is that a requirement for another seat of the pants management decision?

I think you just discovered the enterprise productivity equation

To the point of being absolute trash

OMG this. Having the time to become an athlete is one of the most valued things in my work-life balance.
It does nothing for privacy. We will see what it really does for competition.
Because their shitty nosql architecture will not support it. Try searching a document database on random shit. It is all tied to user keys.

MSM only act that way because thier viewers are that way. ....or maybe it is the other way around?
