I would easily believe that Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc., explicitly staff these teams with childless adults.

- baq 10mo agoGiven how easy it is for my 13yo daughter to get around screen time restrictions on iOS in ways I wouldn't believe are possible I'm not sure these people are even adults.
- selectively 10mo agoApple has an engineering base that includes people who were recently children. Think about it that way: why would they make things harder for who they were in the very recent past.
- lovich 10mo ago> Apple has an engineering base that includes people who were recently children. What? I didn’t realize Apple with in the habit of hiring people straight out of high school instead of after going through enough university education that ends up with candidates in their early to mid 20s
- selectively 10mo agoYep. They hire talent. University grads will work alongside red team folks that are maybe 22 years old and have been at Apple for two years. It's a thing. I personally know more than one person who has a background along those lines.
- lovich 10mo agoI was more pointing out that 22+ year olds aren’t people who were “recently children” unless we’re continuing the trend of infantilizing adults farther into their 20s. I was also under the impression that the faangs hired a larger % of post docs into their first industry job than most companies, so you’re also getting 27+ year olds as entry level engineers and scientists
- selectively 10mo agoI think someone who is 22 was 17 in the not that distant past. Apple hires talent, they don't care about anything else. Again, I am speaking to things I know from my actual life and people I know in the physical world.
- lovich 10mo ago> Apple hires talent, they don't care about anything else. Again, I am speaking to things I know from my actual life and people I know in the physical world. How many people do they hire without college degrees? I am legitimately asking. I understand that was a thing in the tech world decades ago but my understanding was that big tech’s idea of “talent” has evolved to include mandatory education credentials like at least a bachelor’s degree if not further education. 18 is recently a kid 22 is someone whose been an adult for an entire Presidential term. I might be splitting hairs but I struggle to view that as “recent” Edit: removed an unnecessarily aggressive paragraph that added nothing to the conversation
- selectively 10mo ago[flagged]
- lovich 10mo agoWhere are the faangs hiring people with skills sans the credentials? Everyone I’ve talked to at faangs has basically described it being the next step after college for everyone they hire, other than Amazon
- lovich 10mo agoAh, too late to edit but this is another sub year account making statements like > 22 is recently a kid. We have nothing further to discuss; you are unreasonable. Using a semicolon correctly while claiming another human held position is unreasonable. Definitely regular human activity. @dang, is this forum just going to be humans talking with a forest of bots are you guys going to have any moderation
- hn92726819 10mo agoHow does she get around the restrictions? I'm not aware of a way to do that on iPhone
- dan12ha 10mo agoChange the region. Not time and date, that can be blocked by screentime. Change the region. Sometimes takes multiple attempts but it does work. I had to pay a bug bounty to my child to get them to tell me how they did it
- baq 10mo agouninstall app when limit runs out, reinstall used to work.
- naravara 10mo agoWorkaholic office cultures tend to filter out adults with kids by default so it doesn’t need to be an explicit effort.
