Closure! (I don’t think so, not many programmers like reading/writing functional code. But it is his current favorite language, so, who knows?)

i guess this time the book involves a foreword in every chapter written by a woman that explains why they shouldn’t be allowed behind a computer

I don’t have any examples personally, but I’ve been told by a lot of people that he has some views about women, race, sex, homosexuality, etc which many would find objectionable.

Edit: his Twitter is pretty much 50% programming, 50% GOP politics. He might be a bit more progressive than your average Republican, but he still expresses a strong anti-left/anti-“woke” set of beliefs.

twitter happened, I guess

But today I stumbled across a long twitter thread that I can only describe as intentional character assassination. The author of this thread is misrepresenting facts and making some pretty nasty accusations. Again this is not all that unusual, except for the fact that I was not invited to defend myself. […] The gist of this author’s thread is that I am a misogynist; and that I should not be taken seriously in any regard. I understand that efforts have been made to have me excluded from conferences, and to boycott the publisher of my books, etc.

This is just a lot about people’s reactions to something, but nothing about what that something actually was

It’d be nice to see what the actual something was so one could judge for themselves

Edit: I took a look at his twitter, and he seems to be pro-trump and anti-kamala and anti-walz, calling him a socialist who let Minneapolis burn, as well as transphobia thrown in here and there and more that I didn’t bother to read

…so I’m gonna go with “the people’s reactions to him likely had a point”

Interesting, thanks, I didn’t know anything about that. I’ve probably looked at the book at some point, but don’t remember anything about it.

So… What is the problem of women in tech? Either I skimmed over this or he fails to get to that point at all.

i am genuinely waiting for it. read the first one almost 10 years ago and it gave me a good start into my programming journey.

even if this second version won’t bring in anything new for me, I will be glad to consume it

I should get to work on my opus, “Dirty Code”

Inside I’ll reveal all my secrets like: not writing tests, not documenting anything, putting the whole app into a single python file, object-disoriented relational mapping, obscure SQL tricks, unobscure no-sql tricks, and more!

Just make sure the first chapter is dedicated to spaghetti, and contains various GOTO statements telling where the reader where to go shove it and other obscenities.

I read a book like this once! It was like, “how to code badly.”

It was actually kinda fun.

I hope your book won’t have a table of context and those stupid indexes. If they read it, they should know where you mention topics, right? Tables of contents considered harmful! /s
