Sounds like their heuristic for impact is wrong then.

I'm explicitly referring to internal docs for the engineers that no one outside the team sees or cares (unless they want an example of docs). They're mostly markdown files or adding annotations to various code. I still think it&#x

I disagree with it moving quickly, all it does is encourage me to not update documentation and not actively improve the code in other ways due to inane bureaucracy. And surprised surprise, no on else on the team wants to document anything e

I feel this in my soul, I'm not even allowed to update internal documentation in our repo without linking it to a JIRA ticket.

This is what tailwind does already. Colors are defined as design tokens in a config file: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#color-object... Utility CSS is by far my favorite way to write CSS, especially i

I mean at the end of the day we’re products of our environments. If SWEs can only work on features and do nothing else that is still a sign of poor project management. Just accepting that fate is worse for your growth I’d wager. But idk, I

I wasn't blaming this problem solely existing due to being incurious but more of lamenting how corporate environments don't encourage people to be curious.

I mean that's fair, but I'm talking about wanting to be curious and encouraging environments where curious individuals can be lauded instead of dismissed. Not everyone on a team HAS to be curious but for those that aren't the

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the info but this is beyond disappointing.

If you don't use custom fonts and strictly system fonts, you get a lot of performance benefits; which may seem minor, but multiple this by tens of millions of people and you're talking about a real world climate impact here. If th

Yes but death marches are typically a sign of bad project management IME. As for lack of curiosity, the environment obviously plays a huge role in what is encouraged. I feel like history is repeating itself here (at least in regards to deat

It wasn’t my intention to blame engineers but I agree with the other reply to you, someone needs to be responsible for creating these environments. It’s not like we’re dealing with fundamental forces of nature here, this is all self afflict

I wasn’t trying to blame engineers that wasn’t my intention, but someone needs to own establishing the environment that actively encourages or doesn’t encourage curiosity. Talented people are found everywhere, but hopefully someone with aut

That’s totally fair, I honestly meant to blame the environment and not people. It just sucks to see the pattern of curiosity get stamped out of people due to environmental changes that aren’t obvious.

I’m starting to slowly realize how terrible it is working in environments where people simply aren’t curious. It’s so hard for me as an individual contributor to decouple this way of thinking. Curiosity is how we find better ways of doing t

Wow! That’s disappointing, I never had issues updating the OS either but now I’m worried since rolling back is so painful. Extremely disappointing that a machine with decent hardware gets sanctioned to be trash when it’s still useful to do

I thought about waiting as well a few months back but with the supply chain issues I decided to just order a 'suped up MBP with the fastest processor and 64 gigs of ram. Took 2 months to arrive too. Hoping the machine will last me a de

In the context of the episode Don Draper spent the entire episode thinking about the minor character constantly. When he says the line in the elevator we know it’s absolutely not true, especially when the character was asking Draper why he

Can you expand what you mean? IME self documenting code is a myth.

Nah, it’s just that LC problems take practice to get good at. Similar to weight lifting you wouldn’t expect to bench 250 lbs your first week, but after training and making progress you’ll get there (or close). If you’ve never done LC (or an

White sounds are useful for people with cognitive disabilities. Seems like the right location to me FWIW.

People say this is hard to do but I’m unsure of the reasons why. Is it possible the plumbing is vastly different between business and residential or is it just another zoning issues that makes no sense?

Management is often not privy to these details. I doubt more than two dozen people knew about the news internally before they publicly disclosed it.

Could you expand upon what you mean by liabilities? Are you referring to the ecosystem or something like hooks?
