I think that misses the overall point: OP is saying the personal emission reductions themselves don't matter AND providing this as absolution kills off the available attention spans that should go towards real solutions. It is akin to

I don't know your scale for small, but my current org is tiny compared to AWS (my previous). So yes - we have to do all those things. I am directly responsible for ALL of data analytics infrastructure in snapchat. Pretty much most seni

We have ~4 hours to judge a candidate. Like it or not, we are going to have to choose :) The complex questions, if I can get answers are awesome. They are also the ones that are hard to objectively describe. Based on the number of blogs rea

The coding is to get a sense of how they write code, how rusty they are, how many good habits they've picked up relative to their experience, how do they think about validation/testing of it, how the go about building it (ad-hoc v

The problem is that is bound by your regex implementation and how it handled overlaps the search strings :). Fwiw many places will just go the next step of - well implement the regex parsing then! But this is a dev perspective though. Am as

Simple Draft Emails (in Gmail for me) is the easiest IMO. I also use keep.google.com for personal purposes. Both work great.

These are the instances where I feel it is definitely worth keeping some people around who act as glue. (or old timers). In our company - we have a tech lead role which is supposed to be the technical point of contact for a given team. This

I hope Nextdoor puts in some measures towards not becoming facebook groups 2.0. Almost all the conversations I've seen in there have been hugely controversial - only now, there is no worry of the other person flipping out and embarrass

Oh I understand the real world pressures, that's definitely not what I was discounting. I can see why people want it, I am discussing the efficacy of it and questioning this general push instead of opt in. IMO that's what you are

Can you please suggest some ways how to fully embrace this? I don't think offices are going away at least in my fang world. I saw a note about everyone headphoning in - I can try this, but am skeptical because those people are still go

I don't understand the push for remote work. I have been a part of remote teams for over 11 years of my career (16 yrs). I have worked from home more days than I can count. It has enough drawbacks that I'd avoid it at any given op

Background: I have been playing video games for 25 odd years now. It has highly reduced, I revert to a bunch of youtube let's plays now. - Equating games to watching football is disingenuous at best. Games tire you out mentally. I like

Code will definitely tell you how something's done with enough energy. It will NEVER tell you WHY everything was done a given way - which is where the comments come in. The trick is to keep them updated, versioned and restricted to WHY

Let's extend that obvious line of thought: what would the basis of this division be? What about the benefits reaped from the heterogenous nature of giant countries like USA? Are you willing to give all that up for this single goal? All

Yay Amazon/Snap reunion! I think the mix up between enlightenment/information vs decision making is the key here. You see presentations at Re:Invent all the time, because they are the former. Leadership decision making definitely

What prevents people from setting up such LLCs and go nuts on such naked options? I mean you can bankrupt the company if they go wrong, reap it if it works out. I am sure I am missing some gaping hole there.
