I suggest reading the whole comment. I address this concern directly in it. Yes, there is a global supply chain fragility when it comes to a few companies controlling the supply of microchips. Nobody is suggesting that Apple somehow can do

'git blame' is an excellent name, because who write a piece of code shouldn't matter. For a coder that's ready to take responsibility, figuring out who did what doesn't matter. All that matters what the code is now

Studies are never meant to be an ultimate answer to everything. And just because they're not the ultimate answer, doesn't mean that they are therefore worthless, bad or "bullshit".

I'd say it's like a tiny smoldering piece of charcoal, that suddenly ignites when there's too much gasoline in the air. You may be aware of the signs early, and even know what your progression is, but just before the tipping

Studies aren't there to cater to your ignorance. Burnout is well defined, and generally quite well understood by even the general public, this is not news. You switched from "soft science is all subjective nonsense" to "

This myth of "spoiled developers" definitely feeds into the problem. People feel like they cannot complain about their work conditions because they have nice toys and benefits at the work place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_burnout Burnout is not just a subjective term. It is a highly researched syndrome and can be tested for.

Being even slightly burnt out should be alarming. Some people don't even acknowledge their burning out before they become unable to work and fall into depression. It's not normal to feel this way. Being burnt out is not just reg

Saying that a member of a party leaving is "throwing it all away" is ridiculous. She tried to address the problems internally, didn't get her way, so she left. Why would one have to continue being a member of a party that one

Yes. The efficacy of different kinds of action is highly dependent on the existing structures, of course. That's not to say that nothing can be done, it's just a matter of choosing the right tool for the job and gathering up peopl

It's a bit disingenuous to lay blame on companies for hypocrisy, when they have to play by the system set up by politicians. Capitalism doesn't give you any extra points for being sustainable. If anything, it can interfere or be i

Historians do document public figures' personal lives all the time. It's a regular part of the research and not at all uncommon.

Companies who track your information, including FAANG get regularly investigated and often fined for violating antitrust laws when they use the data they've gathered to limit or outright kill competition. I find it disingenuous to ask

I know why it works this way. I'm not claiming it has a bugged implementation, I'm saying it's broken by design.

Oh wow, I had to try it to make sure. I can't believe how broken the fundamentals of JS are. There should really be a whole new standard library made from ground up without `this`, mutability and all the other legacy stuff.

Composability is not about syntax but being able to express code as values. You can have complex behaviors from pure functions that are guaranteed to work and can be recomposed into more and more complex structures. It's not a big thin

I guess I'm then somehow doing subconscious mental gymnastics to prevent this, because me and several of my colleagues have coded like this for years and it hasn't been a problem even once.
