Still going through a talent drought. Has barely made any impact.

+1 on this. People forget product development is a collaborative process. If a PM is just chucking work over a fence, they’re not a PM. They can’t be doing their job effectively if they’re not spending as much time with developers as with c

I agree and disagree. Even competent managers and high performing teams hire people when the amount of work stress exceeds a limit and it’s mentally cheaper to onboard someone into the team. I think hiring is all about making peoples lives

Not like that, but I worked at a startup that was on its fifth (or so) pivot. Worked many 12 hour days, heaps of crunch. I’m still on the BP medicine because it stressed me out so much.

+1. I have a group chat with my wow friends and we have been mostly connected (with some brief periods after Cataclysm where everyone stopped playing) for almost 15 years now. We’ve had in-person meetups and I have a solid conversation with

Incidentally, “fell off the back of a truck” is a euphemism for stolen goods/goods of unknown origin. When I read the summary I thought they were going to say someone flogged it.

I have many friends from New Zealand and I am under the impression from them that most housing in places like Auckland is the most expensive in the world for what it is. The prices (apparently) make purchasing housing an unattainable goal.

How could a stolen session token even be useful. I have to log into tools every day, if I change IPs at all I have to re-authenticate, and all prod access needs to be approved and has a finite lifespan. How could a CI company be that neglig

My bank has ATMs where you drop all your coins in a hole and the notes go on a stacker. It does all that stuff automatically If there’s a damaged or counterfeit note it spits it back out. This is certainly 100% automated and it tells you ex

There was an article on here a few days ago about a call centre outsourcer who exploits workers. They make them pay for training, giving them tiny shifts, and then when they’re available for an hour but only take one call they only get paid

Spot on. You remunerate people based how much respect you have for them and what esteem you hold for them. If your company pays you less than you’re worth, then they clearly don’t value you. Very few people would show up to work without the

Magnetic deviation might not have been an problem in a single year, but magnetic drift can be quite impactful even over a decade. It can be quite severe the further North you get which can really throw compass directions off. The airport i

LastPass gets hacked so often that I’m not surprised. I stopped using them about three years ago and I’m happy that I did. I just don’t understand how they can be so consistently bad at this when they are a security company. I can underst

There needs to be a link between donations and turning off monetisation features.

Just remember, SBF wasn’t donating money to these causes: he was donating his customers assets. These organisations are lucky the assets don’t get clawed back because this money should be considered stolen or proceeds of crime.

My non-cynical take is that they have overheads for data in GDPR-esque regions. They want an excuse to easily eliminate that overhead. They can’t “just” take your money before closing so they need to justify it.

I think the point is that it's not magic, but a very clear and obvious system that's been created using native tools. I've run into a lot of people (including Senior SRE/DevOps people) who don't realise that Contain

How come CEOs never get fired during layoffs? Laying off this much of the workforce is an indicator they have done their job poorly (I.e. failed to adequately forecast industry trends and demand). Any normal plebeian would be out the door i

I only have one question to everyone here who is complaining about “job hoppers”. Do you pay more than 5% increases in salary per year for performance? If you don’t like job hoppers, be the change you want to see in the world: create a good

I have yet to be in a performance cycle that ever whipped out my timesheets. It has always focused on the things I have achieved, and that has resulted in a pay increase/bonus. Maybe timesheets are whipped out in a performance cycle bu

“Give”. Taiwan have been preparing for this war since its inception. Taiwan will be going to war without Western support and I think most Taiwanese would prefer Taiwan burnt to the ground before surrendering without a fight. If someone inva

I personally see no ethical conundrum BUT you are better off starting your own company and consulting directly. That way there’s no middle man and you can take all your $$& to the bank.

“The 80% of the floor space that we dedicated to kind of factory-farm, battery-chicken housing for people to use their desks…” Rare to see any corporate anyone call out the modern offices for what they are.

When you are salaried, you are rewarded based on your deliverables. If you can deliver two jobs of output to satisfactory results, then who cares. Some employers may require the full 38 hours, but let’s not forget the whole point of salary

+1 on this. If someone is as smart as they think they are, building up the team is always the best option. If you’re always going to be ahead of the curve hours out how you can make everyone perform better as a force multiplier rather than

It could be as high as 10% if you have a connecting flight, maybe? I’ve been fortunate enough to always fly direct and never had any lost baggage. I’ve always assumed direct is fine, it’s once you start transferring loads across different f

Honesty with my own limitations and then planning accordingly. I also have an inbuilt system where I just stop doing things when the bucket is full. It renders me temporarily unreliable but it’s a reliable way of shedding unnecessary load.

The one thing I dislike about these articles is that it seems to paint India as a place where skilled Engineers are not from, when in reality there are a lot of talented people in India and from India. What these stories should be saying is

The thing that boggles my mind in regard to this is that they don’t take them to an impound lot . In Australia, if your car is towed someone then has custody of it. I guess initially the “courtesy” part is that it’s meant to be easily find
