Consider that the constant blaming of forest management is actually a tactic from the right to prolong denial of climate change by their voting base. Yes it helps, no it isn't going to do that much when California fire seasons have ext

Power users didn't build any empires, get over yourself. It's the users you call stupid who do. Also a piece of software and its ecosystem is hardly an "empire"

I went to a private school for 2 years in HS and it was far more challenging academically than public school, was also harder to get A's so I distrust your statement. Most private schools also have waiting lists to get in so doubt the

Part of the purpose of these tools is to raise visibility to other parts of the business and facilitate progress estimation. Only pushing for comments in code seems to be like saying F the rest of the company and lets only do things that be

The lack of understanding of Leave No Trace by the general public is pretty astounding. Even among people who self identify as hikers. Lately there have been a lot of instances of people painting on rocks or painting rocks and leaving them

I have had the opposite experience which is more in line with the author of the article. Most coworkers I've had that refactor a lot were the best technical coders on the team and we're usually refactoring other people's shor

Well obviously don't refactor in a vaccum, part of an engineer's skillset is anticipating future changes and being flexible to them. You can still get DRY with slightly different functionality, most people with some OOP background

this is still drastically better than no union which results in massive exploitation once there is a decent amount of qualified workers available. We see this less in software in general because the demand for competent developers is so hig

There are plenty of full stack developers. Just because you work on both stacks doesn't mean you're expected to know everything there is to know about frontend and backend. I've worked at both large companies and startups and

Why is outage history pre-acquisition removed from their history? If you try to go back in time it seems they only retain history up to a couple months after the acquisition. Is this just a 2 year retention policy or something being swept u

How would businesses be more profitable if they exercised the right to refuse service more? You also realize the people who exercise this right the most do it for reasons you likely don't agree with.

You're fighting against a strong current. Mass video surveillance is inevitable and people are welcoming it with open arms. I highly doubt that lawmakers will legislate that people cannot record video of another persons property as a s

Nest makes too many decisions for their users that I disagree with. Not sure if other camera companies do this, but they used to give users the option to show a light or not on the camera and they since then have forced all Nest cameras to
