I imagine there is, even for people who said they just won't. So not a diva. Just honest.

I've found T shaped people are good for early startups, where you can have one person wearing multiple hats. If you are large enough for corporate training events, chasing T shaped people probably isn't that important.

This is the cry of someone who has run out of good arguments.

I suspect its more an adaption to leave the stinger in and pumping poision even if the bee is killed and removed.

I believe spicy foods kill certain types of gut parasites. So at some point in our evolutionary history some weirdo who liked a bit of spice was born, burned the parasites out of their gut, and then with their increased health and no calori

That's a discussion. Not haggling. Demanding the same for less is haggling. As if we can magic time reductions out of our asses without cutting features .

We have voluntarily gone back to the office one day a week now, because we find collaboration easier when tech gets out the way and you can just talk to someone directly. Surprisingly, the team has all loved it and we are discussing adding

Chatting about grannies birthday? Sure. Talking about company ip? Not a chance in hell. When making a purchasing decision for company comms tools, guess which of those two have to be considered.

So you expect engineers to have a comprehensive knowledge of their companies media output, to use when qualifying the legality of code changes?

You are operating under the rather naive assumption that the people and resources used in fusion research are fungible with the people and resources used in other things. When you have a bunch of people who know how to build nuclear bombs s

The joke used to be fusion was always 30 years away. Then the joke was it was always 20 years away. Now the joke is it's always 10 years away. People paying attention over this time have noticed it getting closer as we improve our capa

Stable diffusion has been used to create artwork for shoestring budget projects. I've used it to generate prototype images before hiring an artist to get precisely what we want and a designer friend of mine uses it as a starting point

I think most people's perception of what makes the most sense, involves someone else dealing with as much of the hassle as possible. Which is why online enabled devices are popular and why companies cater for them. If they could sell l

With problem solving jobs, like software engineering, you end up with equal or greater productivity. There is a low-level of constant burnout that occurs with 5 day weeks, but you don't notice the difference between feeling normal and

Even poor discoverability can be fixed with labels. But yes, the out of date info is a killer.

That is the exact opposite of my pre-internet experience. Pre-first-date would normally be a short bit of time in a club or pub when I first met them, before organising a more personal follow-up. There was no 'just a friend' perio

I've had one. I put them on a pip and they found a more senior role at another company. Good luck to their new manager.

Not everything is just an opinion. Thinking that everything is, is a symptom of consuming certain types of agitprop.

Middle management is not there for you. They are there to provide the same type of support to your managers, that your mangers provide to you. Us lower managers are only human.

They can, but the question is if the two on balance produce a net negative across the population as a whole.

Conversely, I had to attend more meetings when I didn't have a manager, because they were no longer there to act as a filter/shield for the chaff around the corn of what I needed to know.

Thats assuming the average is net neutral to your career/work. The average engineering manager may be a net benefit, or a net detriment. The rest we can extrapolate from there.

What happens is that an otherwise productive engineer has to step up and perform the role, but without any recognition of the extra responsibilities or any reduction in expectations of their individual contributions. So then they find a job

Depends on how our propulsion tech advances. From the local timeframe of people on the ship, a constant 1g of acceleration and then deceleration would get people there in a little under 13 years.

Sure, I'll just engage individual agency with these millions I don't have in my pocket to fight a legal battle.

Because of how easy that is to scam. Also the cost is prohibative. I'm not paying dozens or hundreds of applicants to spend 3 hours writing code when most of them are going to be utter shit. If you want to deselect yourself by not doin

Meanwhile the people who were interrupting you have now had their productivity hit. The question is, do the two tradeoff as a net positive or a net negative for the company and how does that tradeoff work in more collaborative roles?
