Sure, this is useful for the outliers who just straight don't work as much, but much less useful for telling the difference between a busy person and a productive person. I have seen bad devs who make daily commits with tens or hundred

You seem to think that vetting contributors or reviewing all code commits for malicious actions or code is some unreasonable ask. That should be standard practice. If someone is getting angry that you actually check their code for vulns, or

There are a lot of dismissive folks who think this is some kind of one-off event because you can't prove it's not- oh wait, the other attempts we can prove aren't enough evidence either! I understand being wary of America t

I think they are using community to refer to F/OSS projects as a monolithic entity, rather than a million separate and often competing and disagreeing fiefdoms that have always had issues with toxic assholes worming their way into too

It seems obvious that the conversion rate was higher among people who wanted extensions, because the people who don't are the ones who already decided not to use it; rarely are people going to turn down more free time to use something

Not them, but I agree with their point that management is, by definition, where the buck stops when it comes to projects, yet are never held accountable when projects go over budget or behind schedule, and that is instead put on developers.

I really hope this is sarcastic. Is a developer that takes 2,000 LoC to fix an issue that another takes 200 to fix 10x more productive, because I'm pretty sure it's the opposite? Productivity has to include "efficiency"

Another example is when the government already told you to begin retaining evidence, which is what happened in 2019, but Google ignored that.

Sales down, share buyback, next step is a "realignment of resources" within 6-ish months, i.e. layoffs.

Yes, why do you want to record people who aren't on your property?

I love my big company job, while still hating the company itself.

That doesn't really change anything, unless they're intentionally trying to be obfuscatory to people outside the community. I don't want news I read about groups I'm a part of to be vague to the point of confusion either

Honestly, the weird thing is we don't need another person at all.

Yes, were still interviewing. Harming productivity only matters for hourly staff (in the minds of bad executives leaders). Salaried folks have to finish the with no matter how long it takes, and it doesn't cost the company more.

Seriously. How do you write an entire post and not pin down one single person, place, thing, opinion, etc? The only conclusion I can draw, as to why an author would choose to write only in generalities, is that any concrete facts or stateme

IMHO, not lower demand but higher supply, especially with all the big tech layoffs, and so we have a glut of applicants who know enough about tech in general to make it tough to tell if they're lying about their specialized experience

At my current job, we had a position that an absolutely stellar candidate supposedly ghosted HR on. Same thing; candidate reached out to me asking about next steps, and I was like, "let me check". Went and asked HR, and was told

We weren't agrarian back then, we were still hunting stuff with sticks and simple stone tools (12,000 years ago/ 10,000 BCE).

Yep. Computers are just binary-state machines. Everything you can do with a computer, you could do with water channels and pulleys and gates (if you could assemble trillions and trillions of them). No one would ask whether the water-channel
