Compromise makes sense when both sides are willing to compromise. Speaking broadly, the U.S. government and its institutions (NSA) have proven reluctant to compromise even when the American public is. I’d be willing to compromise here if al

Yes, I imagine the ad-hoc creative process does get thrown off when transitioning from in-office to remote. As a remote worker for the past 3 years, that’s been involved in creative engineering discussions, it’s on the individuals and the

I'm not disputing that customer interests are aligned with a business's profitability insomuch as they'll be around to continue to provide you the product or service you want. We agree here. I'm simply wondering if there

All of your concerns are alleviated with a simple return policy. (A customer-focused benefit.)

Have to disagree with your conclusion, counterpoint being Jeff Bezos who maintains a number (a majority?) of business lines that compete on price.

All fair points, a mix of which some focus on customer benefit and others on benefit to the business. Perhaps the motivation behind my question was wondering whether there’s an opportunity to eat SaaS margins with products that compete by c

Semi-rhetorical question: why do customers accept something like this delivered in SaaS form? It seems so antithetical to customer obsession when this is the exact type of problem that lends itself well to a locally running application. Why

Just in case the author stops by HN: I want to echo the sentiment that this post was awesome, informative, and motivating. Thank you for posting, and please continue with your blog!

People that want to control P&L necessarily want accountability . I’m not sure why it’s difficult to imagine someone who’d want that? Every founder of a company, by definition, is seeking and taking accountability. Your second point is

> embedded IC is given free reign to spend time helping other teams organically Then, by definition, they wouldn’t be an “embedded” engineer, no? In fact, what you’ve described is not at odds with what I’ve described.

I’m afraid you constructed a strawman to argue against that doesn’t occur in my comment at all. I’d like to hear more on your thoughts about Google’s IC track and implementation, especially if you’ve worked there. Care to provide a compare

Responsibility vs. accountability. If one wants more accountability , then you must move to management. Responsibility can and should scale with IC levels. What’s the difference? Think about when a project fails. “Bad things” happen for th

I’m a very active vegetarian that runs/bikes and strength trains 9 times a week (some days include a cardio and strength training session separated by 12 hours). So, needless to say, I need a lot of calories and protein. I’d recommend

Yes, this is engineering in a nutshell: determining a course of action within a set of constraints that meets your objectives. Where constraints can be time, cost, physical limitations (processor speed, memory size, disk space), etc; and ob

Google pushed the narrative that they were more than just a “better search engine”. Specifically when they proclaimed to be the stewards of organizing the world’s information with a clear dictation from the top of “don’t be evil”. I’m on mo

Exactly this. I’ve grown tired of Fitbit’s lack of cohesive bug-free products — simple things like adjusting the volume of Bluetooth headphones were known bugs for years without progress — and I had to make a choice between jumping off the

If you don’t mind, it’d be awesome if you could email it to me (in profile). We’re both engineers here, I don’t need anything super polished. :) Just interested to see your approach as I’m in the middle of writing my own my own.

Nope, GP post is correct. Your body dramatically increases muscle synthesis and nervous system improvements while you’re asleep. A caloric surplus is one piece of three-part puzzle: progressive overload, caloric surplus, and sleep.

I agree with you, I think Porsche’s approach is terrible. I just like to ask about the Model 3 because usually when I hear touch screens won’t beat buttons, it’s from someone who hasn’t test driven a Model 3. And I say this because I though

Sure, I’d be interested in seeing actual data. Which is why I qualified my statement with “probably” because of course I have anecdotes that counter your anecdotes. :) I just don’t have the time to look into any primary sources.
