I remember the devops guys preaching about this "better culture". They talked about a no-blame culture for one. It resulted in a bunch of virtue signaling where I worked. At the end of the day, the people repeatedly causing ops re

Yeah, and the reason 30 under 30 is a warning sign is because the founders that apply to and agree to do Forbes to do "30 under 30" are much more concerned with marketing than actually building a legitimate product. Legitimate und

If you are a veteran of software in a big company, we all know there will be weekly or bi-weekly meetings that some PM will set up. All the PM will do is go over the JIRA tickets and be like "is this still happening". Default answ

To be honest, it may help for the modern Ferrari driver. It doesn't help for those who appreciate the Ferraris from the '90s and before.

It is ironic that she talks about "the patriarchy" brainwashing people. I have serious doubts that she came up with the thought to blame it on the "patriarchy" herself.

Don't even mention Ecobee. They've done the exact same thing as Google Nest by bricking their older hardware.

One guy at our company once had this brilliant idea as well. Go to a bar and validate the idea with strangers. After all, our business idea was related to sports and they would surely be interested. I thought this was a great idea. All thre

I have a friend who I suspect has resorted to answering me with AI when I ask him a question via text message that he may not know the answer to. Many people do not want to appear to not know things, so they resort to this tactic. I persona

I don't mean to be negative, but things become boring fast when you have no hobbies and interests outside of work. You were likely programmed to do work -- so much that it became your only hobby.

I agree on all points. However, if he already had several millions like Mira and Ilya, his choice to work for Zuckerberg would likely be different. Where is the glory in bending the knee to Meta and Zuckerbeg?

"Founder" and "founding engineer" are two entirely different things. One of those phrases is a glorified substitute for "early engineer". Kind of like when you buy a "founders edition" Nvidia GPU. You

Guy claims he's tired of paying for electricity because of the "ludacris" (sic) costs so he's going to "DIY". Yet, first thing he does is pay a guy to do it.

Comparing Holmes to Neumann is a terrible parallel for obvious reasons to those that understand these matters. You should have used someone like Jeffrey Skilling instead.

Anyone here heard of Lacework? Nope. Thought so. This could have been Lacework had Mike Speiser not let his hubris catch up with himself.

May I suggest using proper English? I believe part of the reason you are getting downvoted is due to the hat language you are using. Several people, understandably, will not comprehend.

I found that in ethics classes, a lot of it was holier than thou and virtue signaling instructors preaching but not necessarily practicing. I am not saying all of the instructors and people who teach ethics are bad, this is what I have obse

This comment is hilarious because the term used to be "vagrant", and then it was changed to "homeless" because people were offended by it. Society truly has reached a new level of being offended.
