Smaller companies are more culturally homogeneous. With smaller companies, managers are usually a reflection of the company's cultural values. If you accept the above as true, then you can start to reach out to team members at the comp

Companies invest in all sorts of things that don't have an immediately tangible impact. In terms of developer productivity, it all depends on management's assumptions built into their labor model. If you are paying top of market f

No more unions. Co-ops > unions. Unions (at least American ones) are adversarial in an unproductive way. E.g. fighting automated subway trains.

Exactly. Okta has given absolutely zero indication that they will notify us next time they have a security event, either.

HN logic: A) my skillset deserves $300k/y in comp B) I'm not paying another $10/m for my bank just because they'll have to have a human spend a few hours a year supporting me

I think they understand that logically. But they are put in a position where that is their least painful move. The incentives are wrong due to poor management.

At a higher price level! It's important to write out and acknowledge that people cost money.

That's an expensive feature request. The friction is there because that's the cheapest/fastest way to go live. It is a leaky funnel, but most early products have leaky funnels. You might also consider working on softening you

The agencies are abusing the guidance and rule making processes in ways that are completely absurd. When I worked in DC, I saw guidance that suggested criminal liability retroactively for selling some financial products. Lots of petty dicta

These are all absolutely solvable. We're building a low-code internal tool builder with features meant to address these drawbacks that keep nocode from scaling. I'm sure others are too.

Nocode tooling available today is already extremely powerful. That doesn't mean non-technical users can really leverage that abstraction well. What I've seen is that the abstractions give the most leverage to developers and develo

If seed VCs are upset about YC's terms, they could always start sourcing deals themselves instead of depending on YC and the like to derisk their investment decisions.

Holy crap how are your comments not greyed out? Marginal income tax rate of 90% != Wealth tax (for which we haven't even tested constitutionality) Also, nobody paid close to 90% thanks to generous loop holes and strategic tax avoidance

"slight negative" is a net loss of what looks like 15k or over 1/3 of the cash value of their current benefits.

That says wiping out all social programs and raising taxes on those over 1m/yr in income would cover 15k/yr. It seems like 45tn in asset seizures would cover the additional 15k/yr for around 10 years. But I would be very worr

The article has a chart. This is a transfer from the very poorest to the middle and upper middle class (how much revenue does a tax on millionaires really accomplish?) I'll take it because it would benefit me, but that doesn't mak

When conservative subs (like the pro trump ones) started hitting r/all and r/popular, they were very quickly banned, using (unevenly enforced) rules. It's well known that SRS engaged in brigading, but they'll never be he

Right, this is closer to the following scenario: Let's say you are on an overpass above a train, and a very fat man is in front of you. The train, if it isn't stopped, will kill 10 people on the tracks. But, if you push the person

I used a virtual card (and froze it) for adobe. They haven't gone to collections. I get emails from them making offers to get me back on creative cloud. Nothing about the unpaid cancelled account.

Badly trained managers, or people who shouldn't be managers, can fuck up literally any system. They're always building better idiots.

Weekly 1:1s help me catch personnel issues that, left unattended, would lead to disaffection and attrition. 1:1 is about helping direct reports reach their professional goals when times are good (it's a great time to literally ask what

From my reading it is less about being "against" division of labor than it is about being against "premature" division of labor. Amazon's API Mandate[0] was arguably incredibly successful, and created the necessary

Yeah, you take a person like this, teach them about people management, and then move them one level higher to give them access to more problems to solve. Hours of butt in seat doesn't necessarily correlate with value delivered.

Upper and middle management might be aware but every system needs a release valve. E.g. you can't have juries without the risk of jury nullification.
