Prisoners dilemma. Who needs to say it when everyone knows it's in everyone's interests to play the game. I feel that a lot of these layoffs are really the result of delusional hiring euphoria vs malicious anti-employee strategies

This has been happening for decades. The only maybe novel side of the story is that post COVID, there may be a hope that remote workers are paid at least respectable wages vs their head office peers living in extraordinarily expensive citie

Nah, Blackberry, ohsa, Nokia dominance, etc. were way more relevant to the markets than Windows Mobile (not really CE as CE is more relevant for embedded and tablet like verticals).

Microsoft didn't miss mobile, they supported many or all verticals of mobile probably 10 years before it ever really took off. They absolutely bungled it and pulled 3-4 various strategies that all seemed to fall flat by miss-judging th

Throw in as much garbage as you like, the human brain is only wired to appreciate a certain degree of information before it all gets washes out as noise. This is why imho the last 20 years in cinema has been a slow skid toward meteocracy. T

An average tenure of 1 year in a job is a red hot flag I'd almost immediately reject. Life's too short to spend a month wasted training an employee that's just going to jump again. It's my number 1 no-hire criteria. Good

"For Java, the latest one. Current latest java still runs 20 year old jars." Not necessarily anymore. Many of the standard JVM features were removed in 11+ instances, so things like _some_ of the JVMs JMX APIs were removed for one

Because these are probably better expressed as metrics. A good observation platform will try to weave all of these concepts together to form that picture you're describing. Some observation providers call these events or annotations. T

Logging is kinda a mess in general for contextualization. Most that support it use kV tupled appended to the log line itself. OpenTelemetry is probably the best hope of supporting a world with contextual logs, metrics, traces which imho is
