If you use it for a single company (ie one login) it is OK, but IMO a worse experience than Slack; MS get away with it because it is free. Where the true nightmare begins is when you need to login to multiple tenants/workspaces. You si

As a consultant, I've become accustomed to being referred to as "the resource" by operations people. However, the day an engagement manager refers to me directly as "resource" is the day I openly start referring to

Yes - from the examples I've seen, it appears that we're heading towards the Star Trek bridge computer. Even back in the days when TNG aired I don't think anyone really considered the computer "intelligent", just ex

There is a cleaning product called "Stardrops" in the UK which has advertised itself as having this stuff included for decades - probably a big deal for them, since the logo used to be a smiley little falling star; obviously much

Doesn't make sense to me. $123M is a lot of money, but not to Amazon. Surely keeping the property as a long-term investment would make sense? It's not like California is suffering terminal decline. Perhaps it is the ongoing cost o

That is one of the worst designed things I have ever seen. The instructions barely made sense at all for the first test, and for subsequent ones where you can enter 2 responses there is absolutely no indication what should be going on.

This sounds like a specific cultural peculiarity - there should be no reason why judges aren't replaceable with temporary cover from further afield, or "understudies". I appreciate that might not be realistic in the US where

The obvious answer to this is not to allow the reduced hours - either do the full job, or do something else. Not exactly progressive, but then there aren't many jobs with these special conditions, so that's fine.

YES. I have the dubious honor of needing to use at least 4 different Teams tenants over the course of a week and it is enough to make me want to pitch my computer into the sea. App, browser, private browser - doesn't seem to matter. Wh

I wonder how much major tech companies are taking into account "revenge" when doing their firing. For example, if I was a GCP Solutions Architect and got laid off, my skills would be well suited to jumping to a customer who is usi

Exactly this - most people here aren't in any way anti-tech, they've just read enough bleak sci-fi novels to know an approaching dystopian hellscape when they see one.

I don't think it is deterministic - and the things which make someone a good CxO are obviously (to me, at least) not something which you can teach easily, otherwise MBAs wouldn't have such a shoddy reputation. It is more of a fusi

Nice approach. However, my main take-away from the article is that they have 40 recruiters for a company of 800, which seems high. I know a company expecting growth is going to need more recruiters, but still 20:1 feels excessive. Is there

Thanks - you inspired me to find the right search term for my issue ("CI/CD in Julia"). Basically, the idea of using the REPL (at all, and particularly for package management) never sat well with me; I was looking for the equ
