You assume there is a surplus. If I tell you at the beginning of our conversation 'The salary for this position is between $80K and $120K depending on your experience, education, and demonstrable skill etc'... Throughout the cours

That's a bit strange. It's like buying milk. I couldn't tell you exactly how much I could buy a gallon of milk for right now (without looking it up). But I could tell you that it is for around five or six dollars. I could

Both. And I try to give them a rough idea of the things that factor into pushing one into the higher end of the range or lower end.

by clavalle 10y ago
I fully agree. At the time my assumption was that candidates had a pretty good idea what a 'normal' salary range is for a position. I was wrong.

by clavalle 10y ago
Of course not. But every role has a range, more or less, which is a balance of the value that role creates vs the alternatives in the market. The range is due to factors such as the risk an individual embodies based on previous experience

The code or the actions? I'm all for holding people accountable for bad actions but I don't think that writing code is enough of to show intent to harm.

Whether it is a coder that knows how to speak design or a designer that knows how to speak code, that translator role is absolutely crucial. Without you there to bridge the gap, product creation might have ground to a stop.

>If you have a huge communication firewall between engineering and design There is a natural communication firewall when a designer knows nothing about code in the form of language and vocabulary.

I made the mistake of hiring a designer that had no idea how to code. It was a special little hell.

by clavalle 10y ago
I don't need a designer who can literally sit down and code with the best of them; I need a designer who knows enough about coding to know what is practical. Just like I don't expect an building architect to pick up a hammer, I ex

Did anyone think that? They were pretty clear about their position before the election.

It is a zero sum game so that statement cannot be true unless you mean over time and in different places. If that is the case then it is a great argument for coming up with a set of rules beforehand that both parties agree is fair.

Yup. I've seen really nice people become incredibly wealthy and stay incredibly (maybe a little too) kind and I've seen petty people get a little more cash than their neighbors and become intolerable condescending assholes. It&#x

Facebook is powerful. A thousand disparate networks would not have the same potential for global change and community. I am not a huge Facebook fan, but Zuck is right about that much. That potential could be squandered or worse. Right no

Communism seems like an idea from the 19th century shoehorned onto economic discussions in the modern age. Is it really necessary that the means of production be owned by the labor put out of work? Or is the real problem not inequality (wh

I would get behind that, especially if it means screening for those that would rather not do it but feel like there is no other choice and making them aware of their options.
