A software developer's experience life cycle:
0 - 5 years: attempt to replicate what your current senior is preaching, assuming that's the right way. Reading "Clean code" and preach it as gospel, even though you don't practice any of it.
6-12 years: gained the belief that you are better off coming up with solutions yourself, usually "sophisticated" and "elegant" which to everyone else (and also yourself a few years later) is an over-complicated inheritance ridden shit show. You have realised the "Clean code" movement is actually a cult but still believe code reuse is the holy grail.
13+ years: finally realized that simplicity and pragmatism is the most sensible way for most software development. Code is now readable, maintainable and functional. You took the few good bits from "Clean code" and ignored the extremism. These are the golden years.
The problem is most developers jump ship and stop developing before reaching the golden years, thus resulting in most software projects looking like shit.
Unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make it untrue.12 -
This isn't serious. I struggled with the order. The main point was that the smart ones left the industry. I thought about making JS Devs be lowest tier. Please contribute your own version if you can think of a better ordering.18

(Yet another rant on TAR commands.)
Whose idea was it to make TAR file listing "tar -t" and not "tar -l"?
How does it make sense? It goes against intuition.
It would have been more logical to make "-t" tarfile instead of "-f", and to make "-l" list.

I hate complex boolean logic.
(true||false) && true || false || (true && false) ... etc (continue for at least ten clauses four times as long)10 -
There is nothing in this world that can run at 100% efficiency except transformers at power plants.5

I remember when fashion looked like this. But now… what happened? Since when exactly did people turn into living billboards for overpriced brands?4
