I disagree. We're all accepting that the modern world exists primarily online, but instead of preparing our children for the online world, we build a walled garden with no access, until the age of 16 where they get unlimited, uninformed access.

The only solution to this problem is parents teaching and directing their children. The state cannot and should not be involved

    Before Brexit the chosen enemy was Polish people/generic eastern Europeans. They are ostensibly white, but many conflicts were over the number of them that were coming to the UK to work, despite that they were mostly doing jobs with high demand like cleaners.

    It's only since Brexit that non-European immigration has skyrocketed, as well as the onset of the small-boats issue, since we can no longer send them back to France.

    Don't re-write history.

    Like, you might have someone working on something in a new codebase but misunderstanding the architecture or just going in the wrong direction in general and a review is the best way to correct course before getting too far in

    I think the article is suggesting this person should be pair programmed with until they understand the architecture and can be trusted to contribute correctly, and I actually kind of agree - it always feels terrible to tell someone a PR they've worked on possibly for days is completely the wrong direction, and arguably this is already 'too far in' if they're going to need to essentially start again.

    Intervening earlier in the process should lead to less wasted effort overall, but people often seem to treat pair programming like its two people at 50% efficiency, when it actually saves a lot of cycle time on reviewing code.
