As someone who's done a fair amount of frontend work, the hard part is always squeezing text into a clean UX. The problem language is usually German, so if you have copy like "share screen", you have to find a way to fit in 1

These glasses are super interesting - if laptops didn't have displays, their form factors could change considerably. I'm imagining a rectangular shape with the track pad right aligned to the keyboard, rather than underneath.

This only works if you're the gate keeper to a feature shipping. If the role is flipped, meaning you need to convince the gate keeper, good luck getting them to read your minutes. And it doesn't necessarily need to be a toxic rela

I was surprised you chose http for your IPC - I was expecting there to be a more handy tool that Python could expose and Go could leverage without needing to keep a second process constantly running.

> What DOGE should tackle is fraud, which is a known problem. You know how you stop/reduce fraud? More regulation, the exact thing these folks want to avoid. Some fraud is good, it enables processes to be efficient, so I doubt DOGE

If your team has high alignment on what needs to be done and how to do it, then yeah, no processes are needed. But if you ever want to hire more than a handful of engineers, you need to processes to train them up and build alignment.

Agree completely. But if you're a middle manager, aren't there countless jobs available for you out in the world? Just being a middle manager is a safety net in-and-of-itself, so might as well take risks regardless of whether you

Can you share an example? I rarely have this problem, likely because I bias towards building it myself and only bring in outside tools when there's significant time savings

I appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing. Mine is that great engineers are extremely hard to find, given there are many more jobs available to them than there are folks searching right now. For nearly every other role, the opposite

Because it's hard, and I'm curious at which stage does the difficulty of hiring local talent outweigh the difficulty of dealing with immigration

Don't take it personally, those guys are hard asses with citizens too. Did something similar in Montana, we just wanted to cross, take a picture and cross back - 5 minute trip. Got very similar treatment.
