I'd argue these aren't mutually exclusive. The email/comms might be okay, but this is still their fault and will ruin people's lives. Most (if not all) companies are shit and don't give a shit about you. We're

Not only that, but half of those services would become acronyms very quickly. Would this be easier if you needed to integrate with UPS, TCS, ISS (which also stores videos these days, though HEIFF and h.265 has obviously been moved to iOS-IS

Isn't it already like this though? Most companies won't do that by default, but when push comes to shove, they care about the bottom line much more than the person. Plus they have almost all of the leverage. I agree with the GP be

If you've ever worked with non-technical people it becomes clear that the issue is not really about Windows, Mac or Linux. They all have issues and they just delegate it to the "geeks" to figure it out. The non-technical peop

But these are not absolutes. You can learn to use and read `unless` just as effortlessly as you did with `if`. I didn't learn to use/read `unless` on college. But I did focus on trying to learn these things and today I have anothe

I believe this is somewhat prevalent in the Ruby community as of late where people try as hard as possible to "lock down" the language and limit the ways you can get to a solution in the name of the proverbial "ease of unders

People can prefer the "one obvious way" and you can use a language that has that as its motto. Ruby was built with "developer happiness" as an objective and I don't see it changing any time soon. I'll never und

Oh, I saw an example with `app/operations` and assumed they were just renamed. Guess that changes everything for me. Will definitely give it a try.

For me it's a shame that they doubled down on the "interactors" (which are now called operations?) pattern. I really like the containers system from `dry-rb` and overall how the routing/controller system works. I like th

I don't believe that's true. As an example, I hate every option available for phones right now but I can't just not have a phone. I have no real choice. Whichever decision I make will send the wrong signal to "the market

Yet most of these aren't needed for small crews... do I care that my DB is not HA when I have 1 RPS? You said yes, but I disagree. Do I need centralized logging if I have a few servers? It's already centralized for free. It's

I never quite understand this mentality that many engineers have. Instead of taking advantage of advanced language features and teach them to people, we more often than not create rules to avoid using them because "someone else won&#x2

Most importantly because most organizations just copy what everyone else does. They're afraid of trying anything different than the status quo and don't want to risk it. "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM", right? Sam

I guess the problem is how the gifted programs are being executed rather than their existence then. When I read "gifted programs" I certainly would think that race or social background has zero influence on acceptance (even though

I probably should have made it clear on the article that I'm talking about software development and not every possible type of work. When you scope it to software, remote does imply async work at varying degrees. One of the reasons I c

If I were to use the 80/20 rule here - at least for startups - I'd say it's the opposite. Only a very inefficient company would have 20% coding time. I imagine the scales start turning the other way as companies grow, which i

>Your interpretation of the term "remote-friendly" is not the common interpretation. Maybe on a general level that's not the common interpretation, but in software that's a different story. You don't expect to jo

I have to disagree with this because that's not what I've seen in the wild. If everyone made a clear distinction between remote and async, I'd agree with you 100%. But the term "remote" is in my view intentionally c

by Draiken 4y ago
Others pointed out the same. I agree with that too. But colloquially I've only ever seen the term "remote" being used, which is why I chose it. I'd love to be able to search for jobs with the keyword "async" in

by Draiken 4y ago
I like the specific term of async work. Haven't seen companies use it in the wild yet. I definitely agree that not everything can be done async, but the reality is that most companies don't even try. They just default to sync work
531.
by Draiken 4y ago
True. Someone else pointed out that some call it async work instead. I've never heard companies say they're async though, only remote. The two seem to be conflated most of the time.

I had never really thought about it in that sense. This is a very interesting take that honestly made me a bit emotional. Thank you for this.

So is this the famous mid-life crisis everyone talks about? I never assumed this was it because I don't explicitly think about mortality all that much. I don't particularly mind that I'm going to die. I also haven't boug

Genuine question: how do you find these goals in the first place? Do you just randomly put them out there and work for it so you can tick that checkbox? Take for example starting a company. I had that goal before and today I know that'

> Still, why not follow the goals you feel you should pursue? I think that's the problem I tried to describe: I don't have any. It seems everyone has goals that they put aside for one reason or another. I achieved the majority

(GP) I actually have a 21 year old. When I married he was 7, so I probably lost the craziness of the early years. However I raised him as my son the best way I could. I don't particularly like the idea of having more kids though. Put t
