Yeah, that's a good point. Sometimes my landlord (who lived above me) asked me to turn the music down while I was working from home.

I'm a "middle manager" managing a team of 3 right now, and my team has been all remote since I started in this role 4+ years ago. I have over 20 years of software dev experience and I still contribute to our code base. It&#x2

Is your company hiring?

Ah, that's a good point. It's unclear what exact design elements are being referred to, and whether they come from public source or a blog post.
246.
by autarch 5y ago
I understand all that. The author claimed that all of the relevant design elements were part of repl.it's open source projects on GitHub.

This still helped me as recently as 2017, so it's not like this stopped being true 20 years ago.

I think "too slow" is "too slow to onboard juniors", not "too slow in terms of performance".

I've been working remote since 2002. I've done both full time and contracting. I've been full time only since 2011 at two different employers. There are _enough_ employers that will allow fully remote employees that it's

At a public company, equity comp is a stock grant. This has a greater likelihood of being valuable than equity in a private company, though of course the value could still go down.

That is correct.

> So you believe she was asked to do it by her publisher? Yes, almost certainly. It seems like a smart way to get the author and her book in front of more eyes, and it seems to have worked, since we're talking about it here!

This is published on tor.com. Tor is a publisher of SF/F books. The author wrote an SF/F book for Flatiron Books, a publisher with the same parent company, Macmillan. So clearly this article is part of her book's marketing.

I really enjoyed the Spelunky book.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If I paid $8/month to every author that I like enough to buy most of their books, that'd easily end up at $500+/month, and maybe $1,000/month. Compare that to buying all their books (

The subscription fee is $5/month. The payments _you receive_ back are via a formula. So the maximum you will spend is $5/month.

I think this is exactly what companies should be striving for. I can't say how many do strive for it, of course.

AFAICT, B was polite and respectful while engaging in open debate. The problem here is A, not B. The problem is _not_ the requirement to be polite and respectful.
