hayertjez | 1 year ago | on: Norway set to become first country to transition to electric vehicles

Also Norway did find out simply replacing 1-1 and making the transition has not only good benefits[1]. Because they made it so cheap people took less public transit, walked or cycled less. Also they didn’t regulate the weight of the car, so more traffic deaths ( as is the case in most countries). The most sustainable mode of transport is biking, walking, public transport.

Meanwhile cars are allowed to get bigger, heavier and thus more dangerous (SUV and Pickup trucks). See https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo?si=GvZy7BC7AqwsFmUW Not as an excuse for a driver to take seat after drinking too much alcohol or taking cannabis. I find it a rearguard action by concentrating too much on the driver and not on the weapon (car) itself. In my opinion a more difficult but more worthwhile is to make infrastructure more safe in general.

hayertjez | 1 year ago | on: How can you tell if you're a good developer?

TLDR: I agree

For me that is part of seeking feedback. I try to do evaluation with the customer, especially when I am the only developer. I always feel a little bit anxious, but it’s always worth the talk.

This is a post how I came across the existence of multiple cooperative inheritance and used it to create better testable code. This is my first post involving code, so I am curious if you have any feedback. I'd like to know if fellow developer use Multiple Inheritance and for what purpose. Let me know if you liked the article.

hayertjez | 2 years ago | on: The Undercover Generalist

I can remember you having a "Plato workshop" and I actually found that interesting and funny.

Generally I am against the idea that every one should be a specialist. I caught myself that I even in my head wofo=rust, because you market it in such a way. Even though I know this is not the case.

Funny story I started as Process Technologist in my previous job (studied chemical engineering), transitioned to a Developer and went to a kind of proxy-sysadmin role at the same company.

You talk about generalizing within the same domain (programming), what about if you have additional skills. Something I struggle with, as I managed a Waste Water Treatment Plant, designed Dairy factory lines and now I am Software Engineer. It is all Engineering but oh boy is it difficult to market yourself as both. So perhaps I should narrow it down on my own website as well.

hayertjez | 2 years ago | on: RSS is dead, subscribe through email

Great idea, with myself only having one blogpost currently. I should give users the option as well (in the future that is) For the rest I completely hate the Subscribe Here banners, so I agree with the rest of your opinion.
