Because they miss deadlines. Of course we can characterize the developers differently. I am considering the employer perspective

I would agree but I am adding the people that pay for the coders work into this equation ("managers"), and they need function in time. Some (most?) of them seem to consider the design decisions the coders problem. It's in the coders interest to make the code easily expandable, integrable, reusable, readable, to make the coders life easier, to allow them to easily meet the business goals.

Of course every programmer would like to make the best design, but sometimes there's no time for it, and that's when slow/fast/experiensed characteristics come into play

You say "usually", so I assume googling forums for similar design decisions and having internal discussion within myself can count, without having a crowd of fellow programmers physically beside you? If you're capable to hold such an internal reflection, then basically you can "google for experience"

Yes, though in my experience managers never ask programmers to work slower to increase quality... :)

Thanks! And what's JPL? Do you mean NASA?

What do you think, can it be that some type of bad programmer would write a quality code?

They will never try to reinvent the wheel, they will google up the best practices, write in small understandable chunks, thoroughly follow naming conventions in order to not confuse themselves in the future, document everything in comments etc.

Their bad part is mostly the speed. Lacking experience, they have to consult with stackoverflow, refactor every now and then and eventually burn out.

While the good and fast coder will deliver the working code in hours and days to the manager's satisfaction, though not as universal and forward looking (in terms of configuration and integration hooks).

And the coder that I classify as mediocre knows and employs all the programming patterns which makes their quickly written code standard and understandable, but not always working as expected until several testing iterations pass.

So what do you think, does this classification make sense, who would you hire and what does the first category need to do?

Sborex, the low code platform | Java Camel+JSSE developer | Remote via Upwork

A team (currently headquartered in Russia) developing a low code platform with a graphical flowchart engine for defining and executing Apache Camel routes seeks an experienced Java developer with Apache Camel knowledge. The requirements are as follows:

- Apache Camel.

- JSSE (the security)

- Having good experience with relational databases is also wanted.

- Experience with docker/kubernetes, including invoking them from Camel will be much appreciated.

- Knowing BPMN (activiti/flowable/camunda/jbpm) and SIP aren't required but would be helpful.

- We don't use Spring/Boot, your knowledge of it would only be helpful as a source of useful patterns.

In Camel, it would be good if you were familiar with components like Jetty, Netty, websockets, SIP, LDAP, Docker etc.

My native speaking language is Russian and I can speak English, but I better understand the American accent (I think).

Your task will be to create different processes within the platform and in parallel to learn the java codebase to be able to add the missing features and fix bugs. I, the initial author, will always be around to navigate you through the code.

The project page is here: http://sborex.com/poc/

I am hiring globally via the Upwork platform, please see further information there: https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~01f59ba239df8b029c

I'm not sure if I had to post into the 'freelancer' thread, but here you are. Cheers!

I was developing a way to easily configure the CRM app we had on my previous job, and eventually came up with my own BPMN execution engine that started to look like just a low code platform for anything.

This is an example how a customer record for a CRM app can be configured visually. It's both the record manipulation and a conversation script in one, just for demo purposes.

I think you could put any non-Valley country/region name there instead of Canada

New comment by fedd in "Looks vs. Results: My ugly ad got 150% more clicks than a professional design"

fedd — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 01:13:14 +0000

I have an ad blocker in my mind that filters out any commercially looking or sounding message. not only it works on websites but in the streets for billboards, during voice phone calls and face to face conversations.

the ugly ad that violates most of the ad traditions is more likely to be followed by me. (especially if it lacks the call to action part. I hate calls to action. especially when it's me who's going to pay)

How is it even working? How a city is going to tax a company registered in, say, Delaware? What if every municipality in the world decide to tax every company created everywhere?

The article mentions another city where it's working - Portland, afair. How's it possible?

My instagram account belongs to somebody else too. I could once recover it with "forgot my password" feature, but then they took it back anyway

Hi, I've put together some hints on how somebody can try what the visual app/service platform I'm creating now, is capable of.
