It’s also important to note that scrum masters, product owners and business analysts, despite what the company org chart may lead you to believe, belong to middle management and need to be treated accordingly. Scrum masters are particularly

It’s fascinating how resistant pretty much every industry is to taking lessons from aviation, considering how much empirical evidence there is compared to almost every other management paradigm, which basically amounts to “just trust me bro

I found that out the hard way first time I worked in a company with European managers and majority Indian ICs. Acting European got me PIPed and then fired so damned fast for failure to shut up and do the needful. I don’t think H1Bism is eve

Yes, but then the entire rest of it is all about every other type of sacrifice, culminating with that of God himself on the cross, and the Catholic mass is a continuation of that exact sacrifice. And almost every other religion also practic

While the decline is not universal, shrinking parishes is itself a reason to sell older and more ornate churches and either build smaller strip mall ones, or merging several parishes into big expo center ones. Of course it only adds to the

Clearly yes if we go by the Bible. Then we should be happy to get away with just gold and labor and not our children like Isaac.

I think the biggest challenge is not any of the technical or legal problems already mentioned, but that none of these buildings are laid out with the primary objective of being fun to run around shooting people in. So once the novelty wears

I sometimes wonder why they don't just sell the whole thing to a real estate developer or something. If inornate churches that look more like strip malls and expo centers are so much better for the laity then imagine how much more good

That must be what foreign aid is for. They can’t steward their own resources, and they don’t like it when we go there in person and do it for them, so we have to give them a portion of our own. But then we hoover up all the people who could

Magic Circle, is that something everyone is expected to know what is?

Could it be argued that we in the west have some degree of moral responsibility to prevent brain drain from developing countries? I don’t see the point of giving out tons of foreign aid when we’re just going to pull the rug out from underne

Now everyone but the west is practicing slavery, yet the supposed economic benefits of slavery seem to elude them. Why might that be?

Obviously more by a huge margin by consuming mega yachts. But that’s still pretty insignificant compared to the economic impact of the companies that they run, like Amazon, Oracle and Tesla. Could you elaborate a bit on spending efficiency

Should we really be upset about that in particular? It's not at all obvious to me that the more wealth they have on the top end the worse off we are at the bottom end.

I thought maybe it was related to Gabriel Syme. Like how similarly sounding letters are changed to make words look more kool.

What’s the use case for a counter that doesn’t update the backend? For example a like counter wouldn’t be much good if nobody else can see your like.

Fine, but using a ` or ‘ instead of a ' or ’ should be an arrestable offense.

Was the OP edited? I don't see anything about having gone mental in it.

Hard mode: has anyone left web dev for something completely different? I enjoy low level programming, but embedded seems to have much higher barriers of entry. Performance profiling and optimization is also fun, but I've seen very litt

Thanks, that's encouraging. In your experience how valid do you think the idea that tech stacks and their environments influence workplace culture? Go culture seems to discourage over-abstraction, but how much of that comes through in

That happens for sure, but you'd still rather have one that can both build real solutions and grind leetcode than one that can build real solutions, but ends up wasting time on HN as soon as the going gets tough. And I say that as some

What a bizarre product. Why would an encryption algorithm care about what language the plaintext is written in?

You’ve also optimised for a developers who possess a certain degree of grit and determination even in the face of boring and unfulfilling work.

Perhaps it’s better to ask what will put the greatest cognitive strain on the developers. Generally I want to program for the specific case first and hopefully make it so small that it doesn’t hurt to throw it away when the requirements cha

My first reaction to the misspelled sentence was to attribute it to men skewing more towards autism than women, and therefore being less tolerant of deviation from the rules in informal settings, and I would expect this to be reflected in t
