That focus on increasing shareholder value above all else is definitely a regrettable inevitability of publicly-traded companies. I know my engineering curriculum hasn't focused on empathy, or ethics much at all. Unfortunately you can&

Being offended by a pay cut doesn't make you a sociopath, just makes you selfish. And "emotional value" is much less relevant to a company than engineering value. I know lots of people focus on less profit-driven motives for

What you're saying makes rational sense, but people's egos are not rational. It's the principle of the thing: why tolerate a pay cut when there's a long line of companies in the valley itching for your skills?

Do you also wonder why the entire Western world doesn't give extra penny to global poverty relief? http://www.globalrichlist.com/ Perhaps we're all just flawed, self-centered people trying to keep up with what our

That'd cause a big morale hit & big incentive for engineers to leave. Support staff are great, but at the end of the day they're not what drives growth for the company.

There is such thing as ambition, and a desire for more power/money than you need. The human condition!

There's a difference between what leadership will say publicly & what they really mean. Reading between the lines of retail manager's inspiring speeches will reveal that their personal careers are directly affected by the stor

Voice typing will never be robust enough to handle the innumerable use cases of text input, even if the technology were significantly improved from where it is now. As a trivial example, inputting information that you don't want to be

The reason it's not the best analogy is because keyboard layout is not biologically programmed like handedness. If anything, Dvorak being more ergonomic makes it more biologically friendly. > I wouldn’t actively try to teach them an

The most common shortcuts do tend to be on the left side of a Qwerty, but in a Windows environment at least, almost every letter key is bound to a common shortcut. As an avid shortcut user, the only letters for which I can't remember a

Even if the kid has a laptop like many do now, how easily will they learn Dvorak when qwerty comes stock?

To get philosophical, a parents' job is more to prepare a kid for the world as it is, rather than engrain your own preferences to the point of impracticality.

Right! After too much time watching CinemaSins I automatically think "This movie brought to you by ____" when I see a prominent logo. Like the Microsoft Surface in Marvel's Netflix series.

In fact we can tell from Googlers commenting here on HN that individual engineers often disagree with some of the practices of their (huge) employer.
