Liking any of these indicates a belief system I don't agree with

Software craftsman
Fart sniffer detected
- Am I wrong or does that title he's given himself directly contradict his dislike of code ownership? Or is it just he assumes he deserves credit for the code written by any of his subordinates?
  
  Code ownership implies that 1) changes to that code are bottlenecked/gatekept by its “owner”; 2) code is siloed and there’s poor organizational collaboration culture.
  “I am enabled to seek out the needed background and change what I need to move forward” vs “that’s not ‘our/my’ code, we can’t touch it. Let’s file a DEP ticket against that team and wait a few months”
  
  that particular point likely refers to the fact that he prefers shared ownership: ie nobody should be “the one you go to for X part of the codebase”
- Yeah, I threw up in my mouth a little when I read that.

Lol. Let’s ban accountability, refactoring, and debugging, never work alone, never coordinate, avoid productivity, and refuse ownership—then scream when things break, don’t integrate, and fall behind schedule.
"This is all your fault!" built-in. Why didn't you intuitively know what myX is supposed to do and how it's used?
Provocation just for "engagement" really. 102 comments so, to some degree, it works.
E: Guys, it's satire. Lol.
- I don’t see any ban of accountability, refactoring or debugging, coordination, or endorsement of screaming.
  I recognize most of these as specific antipatterns that get adopted because some manager read a blog or no one actually had a clue was “agile” meant.

  Go ahead. Point out the anti-pattern baggage.
  There are enough coders on here from before the post-dot-com made mentors extinct that I'm sure they'd love your specificity.
- Let’s ban
  overshot your mark. maybe you misunderstood what you read and that's why you're so needlessly het up.

This might be my type of job. I ssh into a server and build the backend using bash scripting in nano. HTML and CSS is also done using nano on the live server. No SCRUM needed. We have a large group of testers we refer to as "customers", and they pay for the privilege.
- Real devs write each http response by hand. If you use a server you're a filthy casual soydev

That's great! I wouldn't want to work for him anyway.

Code Ownership
Lol did someone try and make him maintain the shitty code he wrote
- Individual accountability
  
  Team accountability is almost always better.
- more likely a reference to someone being the 1 person you go to for a particular part of the codebase like they own it

Just build whatever you want on prod and disappear after the deadline so they can never ask you to update your code
- Sorry the developer you are calling is out of scope.
- And write all Code in The most complicated and unreadable way possible. Dont use comments.

There are two types of software engineers: those who are anxious and those who are narcissistic and grandiose. This guy is easy to place in the latter category.
- I was so happy when I got a job working with a guy who was super chill and a genius to boot, such an impossible combination to find.
  Our mantra was pretty much do the best possible thing to reach the widest possible audience, nothing is off the table and no user is left behind completely. I learned such a wide variety of skills there. It went great for nearly a decade before everything went to shit because my guy had left and I was left to deal with a 3-1 managerial hell.

Whatever this guy supposedly architects, it ain't software.

ORM's
Place ALL of the business logic in stored procedures.
Eliminate the backend.
Make the front end connect directly to the database.
~~Profit~~
Introduce tons of bugs and terrible performance.
Database is compromised within five minutes of going live.
- No, just write a repository to expose domain operations and implements them using SQL directly. Trying to fake OO object graphs against a RDBMS with a super-complex and leaky ORM is just painful.
  
  Would you classify GORM that way?
- I have for years been pumped to create a sql only side project or sql + frontend
  
  Please don't. I self-host actual budget, and they compile SQLite to WASM to use it in the FE. That just feels... wrong.

- I'm confused. Are you saying all of that is a consequence of not using ORMs? Because if so, that's absolutely not true. ORMs truly are complete trash.
  
  Sounds like you were hurt by an ORM.
  One huge benefit of an ORM is that it does type checking. it makes sure your tables exist, relationships are valid, etc, and it makes easy things easy. If you add a column, it'll make sure it gets populated, give you decent error messages, etc.
  As long as you use a proper repository pattern setup and isolate DB interactions from the rest of the code, how you construct the queries is completely up to you. I try to use DTOs to communicate w/ the repo layer, so whether an ORM is used or direct SQL queries is largely an implementation detail.

When you don't have a downvote button, all you get is an echo chamber

Golang outside of infrastructure
What does that even mean?
- He's missing out on HUGO, Gin, Surf and Ebitengine just to name a few.
- Golang is petty slow with a GUI I've found, a web UI works well but GTK or something like that is slow. Maybe that's what he means?
- He wants all his infrastructure to be pure golang.
  
  I read it to mean that he believes Golang should only be used for infrastructure and nothing else.
  This is an assumption based on a structure of: if you [insert dot point] then we ain't cool.
  Allthough I only rarely exclude anyone from anything for any reason, I suppose one addition I would make to a list of mental farts I use to elevate myself, would be: people who communicate their ideas like a PowerPoint and expect to convey real meaning.
  What I find crazy about X, is that even though it's owned by Musk, a lot of Americans are quietly and conveniently ignoring it. People are losing their shit over Tesla and then posting about it on X.
  I watched a YouTube video the other day where the presenter, who is a full time politically left content creator, was sharing his screen and discussing a Bernie Sanders X post, from within his own X account. It's crazy.
  Why anyone is still on that burning pile of trash, I will never understand. I mean, if you want to say anything longer than 280 characters long, you have to pay a premium. This is the opposite of 'free' speach.
  Peace!

In an effort to make the post full of engagement bait, the dude ironically made it less engaging.
Remove every bullet point except Lombok, and you got yourself a proper flame war.

Hating on Lombok and setters simultaneously seems contradictory.

This feels like a facetious post because what. There’s no way he’s serious
- From my own professional experience (which covers various industries) if the guy works in Startups making B2C, this wouldn't be overly surprising.
  There is a very special kind of mindset that's highly likely to develop when you're the guy with 5 years experience surrounded by basically kids, in an industry were the path for "winning" is shameless self-promotion, who never worked outside that environment and whose customers are this vague anonymous crowd (worse when they're mainly fanboys) - in the absence of professional references to compare yourself with, without hard feedback from users and customers, surrounded by people for whom making software is entirely "make it up as you go" (rather than, you know, and engineering process) and in a business domain were the biggest boaster get the biggest rewards, lots of people start breading their own farts and calling it perfume.

Lmao ok ill just follow best practices and end up inadvertently writing an orm from scrach then 🙆‍♀️

NGL I was on board at the first line. He lost me quickly after though

No mutable types? So like.. no lists? no for ... i++?
I get that there are alternative approaches, but I don't quite see why you'd want to go to that extreme with this idea? It's useful for some applications but even for a simple video game it's likely not helpful.
- It's perfectly possible to work without mutability.
  Is it desirable to be entirely without it? Probably not, but leaning immutable is definitely beneficial.
  
  Yeah, copying can totally screw you over. Mutability is fine, just make sure it's safe (e.g. what Rust does).
- There are non-mutable lists and every other data type.

  https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/collections-2.13/concrete-immutable-collection-classes.html
  “for… i++” is easily replaced with a foreach, range, iterable, etc… in any language of reasonable capability.

  I should've said that right away, really. That's on me being online while tired. At that time I did not really think outside the box I was working in that day
- Pure functional programming is often like this.
  
  Or pragmatic functional programming, or rediscovered by “OO” programmers who realize they are messing up the Redux store bad.
- Erlang/Elixir doesn't have muteable variables/types. Appending to a list would just create a "new" lists.

Ideal situation: single guy working from home, no pets. Neighbors describe him as "pretty quiet" or "I dunno."

Good riddance.

He didn’t rule out BASIC so he good in my books.
- Ew...
  
  That’s: 10 PRINT “Ew...”

Which is why he doesn’t have a company of his own. He’s a terrible leader.

Extroverts cannot comprehend introverts.

Wow, the only one I agree with here is MongoDB (and probably Lombok, I don't write Java), and that has more to do with their licensing issues than anything technical.
That's pretty impressive.
Here's my list:
no-go list of languages - Java, PHP, Ruby, C++ (unless you absolutely need C++ for some domain)
OOP - OOP should be isolated, not forced on every problem; many OOP advocates are dogmatic about injecting it everywhere
waterfall - screw that noise, faster to market + faster feedback is generally better
That's really it, and I'm totally willing to mentor someone who likes the above if they're otherwise a good developer.
- If you had to write Java you probably would like Lombok if you dislike boilerplate (it can build object constructors, comparators, and field accessor methods via annotation).
  
  Java is boilerplate though. It's finally getting almost tolerable with static imports, arrow functions/lambdas (whatever Java calls it), etc.
  If I had to write Java, I'd push for Kotlin instead, after failing to convince management that there are much better options for the problem they need to solve.

I’m pretty in-line with all these.
“guru”-driven, fad, and ineffective management processes, misunderstanding and corporatization of low-overhead planning tools, rather crappy (and faddish) languages, and not putting team first - all bad things.
