> In a bad startup you typically can’t ‘push back’ meaningfully. If the management doesn’t understand how to treat people well, people pushing back won’t educate them, and employees have to get work done to justify their presence rather

I don't know how that follows, you're not going to necessarily escape terrible bosses just by going to an established org. If that's the thought you'll have quite the rude awakening. Everything you just said is true of w

In that case, you leave. If you're a decent engineer you'll find work in a few weeks and any other startup will be happy to have you. Unfortunately for non engineers I understand that may be more difficult and for those starting o

I’ve never had these abuses working for a startup. I feel like you have to push back against things instead of just going with it. Or choose the position better because they sound like bad jobs regardless of the type of business. That’s wha

In your case was the patio set sold to another customer or was it a logistics issue at the supplier etc or is there no way to know what the problem was? I think those are all separate problems that may have various solutions, and the only o

Very satisfied with elixir and the ecosystem is growing! There are some performance concerns if you're doing a large amount of list or string manipulations but these are somewhat special cases and I tend to reach out to a Rust NIF to h

Start to write documentation*

First, thank you. You sound like a very conscientious person. Second yeah that is generally what I've run into it's often one or a few people writing documentation that really benefits the organization but other people don't

by Grimm1 5y ago
I think talking about documentation is important because it's really the key to helping people understand code, and therefore maintain it. I think the idea behind self documenting code is nice, you should write code that is easily unde

The use case is we automatically generate documentation on the fly, so I'd want to be able to then also automatically update their documentation site with our new docs we've generated. From what you're saying it sounds like t

I think you mean, have the employer buy that laptop/phone for them. The employer provides an, imo, unreasonable ask, then they should have to provide the alternative.

Is there a way to keep Docusarus running like a live service and make an API request to it to generate documentation pages? Or is it strictly an offline cli tool?

by Grimm1 5y ago
This looks great, I looked on the API but I'm not sure if I'm missing this, is it possible to serve documentation to Docusaurus and have it generate from that served documentation? I've been working on, what I consider, a pre

I never disputed that there is talent that exists and doesn't know it's worth. Crying shame is what I call that though.

I think you've misread this chain, the poster above me wasn't talking about OpenSource, just hiring in general, and my initial comment was saying 132k isn't going to get you very far. I was responding to that poster's ge

That's valid too, but and big but, I'd argue your engineers aren't being paid their value though and that's largely down to what I feel is Europe not valuing engineers relative to what they accomplish enough. Don't

On the flip side, Silicon Valley isn't the only expensive place and 132k was well below my full time salary in New York as a senior eng before I jumped into my own work. Actually I don't think I know any full time engineers right

How are you dealing with the fact common crawl updates their data much less regularly than commercial search engines? And that each update is only a partial refresh? Edit: And I will say your site design is very nice.

We're engineers (or academics), pedantry is occasionally a hill we die on. Trying to be precise in language allows you to communicate an idea the most effective way, imo, and at the end of the day that's you're goal. At least
