Settling for #2 in search and cloud isn't exactly a bad consolation prize.

That's true, but what is the rate now? If it's going from 3% to 5% that's not as bad as 10 to 17 or whatever.

If he can convince thousands and thousands of employees to pack up everything and move across the country on a whim, then he can go ahead. No stopping that. Washington state has already been through this shit with Boeing.

I like that part too, because it also brings up the notion that US version of near absolute free speech is not the only on that exists. That other countries have banned hate speech without falling into totalitarianism, banning legitimate po

This isn't about sharing legitimate political views at this point, it's about helping prevent radicalization. White nationalist content should be viewed no differently than content by the likes of isis. I think it's completel

Reddit still allows white supremacists and other assorted awful things to go through their platform.

No, you can say hey amazon might use this if they do a security evaluation first. It's totally cool for your data though, don't worry about it. Amazon fucking sucks at dogfooding.

MS Internal tooling fucking sucks compared to Amazon. Just atrocious. Though I wasn't in Azure so that might be better.

by anth_anm 8y ago
No, that's not accurate at all. Amazon made choices on how to do things, years ago. These choices are being remade just because the new hotness is containers and not using uncool java. They have a lot of tooling that works for them, an

This matches my experience using the internal tools pretty well. But hte team I was on was mostly using AWS, which meant the tooling was better. We also had a bunch of people who wanted python instead of Ruby, so they started using python a

> In essence, the idea that it was open was only so far as Google would also like you to implement whatever Google was already doing. Standard for anything google makes open. Which is why being "open source" is not enough.

If I move from help desk to programming that usually requires retraining, switching teams, etc... Programmer to manager is just a promotion.

Lots claim to, but then end up with a manager per 10 devs, a senior manager per 5 managers, a director for 5 senior managers. vs 2 principal engineers for the entire org up to the director. So you can either jump over to management and be a

Companies shouldn't be regulated at all ever except when it comes to letting racists spout hate. Then they should be regulated into requiring that. Plus harassment and other bad behaviours.

They don't need rehabilitation, they need to have not been put in prison for a fucking plant in the first place. Go to prison for weed. Get out. Realize how fucked things are now that you're a felon on parole.
