Yes! I think it becomes distracting if you listen too much of the same genre, and if you mix awesome songs similar to the feelings you describe but with different genres, those moments can become more frequent. I sometimes write code at the

I’m beginning to believe people is pissed because the example was dating, and now they think the whole argument was how some people can be made to do/feel things, instead of a miserable simple example on how even people is a system tha

What OP means is (I hope), yes, people are complex entities, each with their own nuances, but our behavior is not something astral, magic, that cannot be analyzed and figured out just yet. In fact we can be (to a certain extend, at least) p

My experience has been people is afraid of asking, as the article puts it, “sensitive questions”. Afraid of the repercussions: Will they react aggressively/defensively and never talk to me again? Will they feel bad and have depression

Perhaps he means when you’re already part of the company. You should nonetheless fight for your rights, but HR is not there to help you as employee, I suppose is what the message is about. They are there to safeguard the company from employ

Wow, thanks for this wake-up call! I had checked localstack + Terraform combo some time ago and I don’t recall that option being there. Time to refresh my knowledge on this.

You know who has to suffer from this? International buyers. I buy a lot from Amazon, and I live in Colombia. While these days there are a lot of direct, global shipments from Amazon, I still buy a lot of things I leave at my aunt's hou

You expect too much from the same people that complains about the simplest of things. Yours is the most down to earth approach to these issues . No need to look for an extreme, or fast solution (which I think is what drives these things; n

I actually thought it was weird OP mentioned those things, even when they are exactly prime example of the people the article and many of us are talking about. You see them, for example, at College/University (in my country, at least):

I didn't like a review saying it's small because some components were left in the cable and hence not all USB-C cables work. It might be an outlier/mistake, but yeah... I have been using this RAVPower 61W Wall Charger for som

I think this is key, but it costs a lot from companies (and also people), culturally, economically, and sometimes constrained by law. Should you keep all seats even when 20% of your workforce prefers to work remote? What do you do with thos

To me it sounded like the other 10%. While the 90% will be there and not all will necessarily interrupt on purpose (they can be guided to increase the 10%), you focus your most productive interactions with the 10%. From time to time you wor

Actually, I think it's kinda funny and ironic that in Spanish we use "menso" as an insult for someone that is stupid. Formal (kinda) definition on how we use it in the Spanish section here: https://en.wiktionary.or

Can someone provide counterpoints to this? I also think like OP, but people can’t sometimes comprehend such decision. I recently went to a job interview for startup, and they were selling me really (like, way below even average) crap salary

We were kind of heavily invested in Atlassian stack, which means we used Confluence a lot. We had a good system for creating and looking for documentation in our wiki system, so I hope that was not a selling point for Slack. Unfortunately w

Along with all the bad things people have already mentioned, you have to add that, in reality, it's a creative job, which means it's inconsistent in producing good content regularly. I'm not saying it's not possible, jus

Indeed. It’s a topic I sometimes wonder about. I always tell people we have things we are good at doing, and things we love to do, and while they sometimes coalesce, you have to think about the future yourself and plan ahead so you can gene
