After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/
  • It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.

    Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.

    Is Critical Thinking the Most Important Skill for Software Engineers?
  • I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s critical thinking as that’s too wide a term to be useful. What I would put in my top 3 skills are:

    • problem decomposition
    • curiosity
    • being open to feedback / criticism

    Problem decomposition allows you to take huge problems and fix them as if they’re nothing more than a few tiny issues.

    You won’t learn anything after the initial knowledge required to do your job and keep on growing without being curious.

    The same can be said for feedback, a lot of people attach their ego to their work. This is such a limiting factor, holding you back from improving in areas you weren’t aware of.
