Having an entire separate org whose sole job is to create backlog items inevitably ends up with 100s of items, 15-30% of which are "high" priority. Many of these will have out of date specs by the time engineering can pull them in

If you are OK with adding more hardware, you could use a physical device to press the preset buttons. Something like this - https://www.amazon.com/SwitchBot-app-controlled-device-mecha...

I have the exact same issue with joining a meeting. We use gsuite, so most meetings will have a zoom link in the subject or description. The order of operations for joining our daily standup is: -> Click on link in calendar -> Accept

I think this was useful as a "learn what WebAssembly is " guide. It shows you how to build a wasm module from c++ source code, and how to use your module in a browser.

I agree with you as a user. From the company's perspective though, I'm guessing there's a decent correlation between "people who will pay $, instead of free" and "people who have enough disposable income to imp

I know it might sound like a minor ding, but the signup form doesn't allow apostrophes or accents in the name fields. Many people (myself included) have these in their legal names. I know this is US focused, but for an org that's

The problem is that it now takes the recipient 2 minutes to listen to your message, and can't search for it when they need to reference it again in the future. If you literally just typed out the same words you spoke, the recipient can

The fact that I've paid them for the hardware gives me more confidence that I'm not the product. Ironically, the fact that I can get TeamViewer for free and use it to get remote access others' computers makes it feel like a

The worst part is this isn't even just going to affect folks that would never think to update their router firmware. The firmware they do push out is frequently a massive downgrade. About a year ago, I tried to update the firmware on

As someone with a tendency to accidentally work 60 hour weeks sometimes because I genuinely enjoy the work, I think you have to balance any praise with very clear expectations for the rest of the team. Something like "40 hour weeks are

While this is true, saying "I got fired from my first and only job in tech. Also I can't provide any professional references because my manager has a grudge against me" can be a red flag for your next employer, or even next f

I had the exact same attitude as you. I got laid off at the start of covid from a travel-tech startup. At first my mentality was "I'm a really good engineer with a solid resume, I don't need my network or even need to use a

All of the "no code" websites you see (even on HN) asking for an email address to sign up for updates on a non-existent product (ie gauge interest) seem to disagree with you.

Having used NiFi in production, my biggest issue with it is handling source control and multiple environments. As the "IDE" is effectively also the runtime, the lines between "local", "stage", and "prod&qu

I think that's kind of the point of references though, right? Your resume speaks for itself, but you wrote your resume. It's a good sanity check for a potential employer to quickly verify that it's actually accurate. People

I'm not sure that other companies near the scale of Gmail have a lower false positive rate. Sure something niche like fastmail which is going to have, on average, much more tech-savy users, will have more accurate user-reported spam fi

Wonder if this is also one of the reasons that they try so hard to opt you into using their built-in "Google VPN"? Get some users that might otherwise use VPN software for "security in public places" to just trust Google

For their original plan, the "slower after" was capped at 256 kb/s, it's not clear if the same applies to the unlimited plan.

Interesting distinction between the new unlimited plan and the old one: "On the Fi Flexible plan, video streams at 1080p (Full HD quality). On the Fi Unlimited plan, video may be streamed at 480p (DVD quality)."

I'm fine with this as long as they're clear about it up-front. If every employee is emotionally invested in the company you can imagine that they don't want to hire new folks that aren't - there would be huge culture cla
