A somewhat disingenuous article discussing a problem as old as the entertainment industry and painting it as Twitch being somehow uniquely exploitative. > I hope I convinced you to mentally categorize the average hard-working streamer’s

I experienced both sides of this in five years at a company in hypergrowth. In year 1, I was determined to accomplish X and ignored the skeptical comments of some colleagues who'd been at the company longer than me. I failed and wasted

People click on stories about GameStop. No conspiracy necessary.

If this is their strategy it's incredibly silly. 1. The Steam Community Marketplace already exists. 2. Why is GameStop - a retail chain with an increasingly irrelevant brand - the right company to build a digital marketplace? 3. Why wo

Can't reply to your deeper comments on this thread, but in the meeting minutes they decide they'll replace Maus with a different text about the Holocaust. So it's not really a debate about whether 8th graders should be ta

You should read Maus if you haven't already. It's an excellent book. That panel comes from a short sequence in the book called Prisoner on Hell Planet . I first read Maus as a child (10 or 11 years old, so younger than 8th gr

Ah, you're right. I got confused because the township managers were incorrectly referred to as "supervisors" earlier in the Twitter thread.

Surely that's an incentive for the supervisors to swear in a quorum of auditors? Otherwise who's going to determine their compensation?

I wonder if supervisor compensation can be determined for the current year without a quorum of auditors?

Why would you lie about a contract being expired when you could just say, "this software is provided without warranty (see license) - I offer support services starting at $X/day" and likely see the same result?

Is there a product out there that makes it easy for open source maintainers to offer enterprise support services? I think support is probably the best way of making money from open source, but a lot of maintainers are unlikely to have every

It doesn't really explain how they reached the conclusion that that would help. Like, yes, it's a problem that they had a giant Consul cluster that was a SPOF, but you can run multiple smaller Consul clusters within a single AZ if

Literary theorists have been debating the nature of meaning within texts for well over a century. The matter is not settled. You advocate a highly intentionalist interpretation of a work - the author says it means this, so that's what

That's one perspective. Another is that we're in a highly competitive industry. Our shitty code is severely hindering our ability to move fast and respond to competitive pressure. Had we paid more attention to quality while buildi

Nope. The startup I work at has been compartmentalizing and chipping away at our shitty code for the past eighteen months. We're not doing this because it offends our aesthetic sensibilities. The shitty part of our codebase is truly sh
