JFK set the goal 8 years out, not less than three to align with his presidential term to try to make himself look good. He also got a lot of feedback from NASA on the timelines of what was possible so the goal wasn't pulled out of thi

> Because published articles frequently omit key details This is a frustrating aspect of studies. You have to contact the authors for full datasets. I can see why it would not be possible to publish them in the past due to limited space

> But why? Why would a US citizen want to be snapping mobile phones together for 6-12 hours every day? I live in the US and don't support the tariffs but I'll give my best shot at answering. The US is fairly poorly educated on

The leader of the US was actually supposed to function as a king. Washington was offered the role of king for the new country however he rejected it which ended up leading to the presidential role. It's strange how much reverence Ameri

Really interesting response. So if hiring from the outside isn't ideal and promoting from within isn't ideal, what is the solution? Going back 3 years ago, what would you have done instead?

Get lucky by being born at the right time so that when a technological revolution starts, you're able to build up a monopoly-like position in the market. Ideally, you've prepared for this by working or studying the field for seve

It's also not a good analogy because it compares across positions. Someone in marketing would not be compared against an engineer.

There's always winners and losers with any type of change. Look at COVID. Some companies thrived and had their best years ever and others went bankrupt and closed down. A lot of negotiators talk about win-win agreements which may be

On productive days do you work too much? Have you tried setting limits on your work on those days?

Yes I am struggling with this exact situation. A person on my team fits this profile. They can do the work. It's just that their output is below average except for the times when we've had serious discussions about their perform

I can relate. This was pre-pandemic but I was a mentor of a junior who I quickly identified as someone who was struggling. To compensate I spent a lot of time with them, meeting multiple times per week. Looking back after two years I can&#x

It's not micromanagement when the manager is trying to understand what is happening on the team. That's part of their job. If they were asking for updates from you every 5 minutes, that would be micromanagement. How long do you t

Agree. I lived in Japan which doesn't change clocks. In the summer the sun rises at 4:30am but it's only light out until maybe just before 8pm.

I've worked for a couple single founder businesses (not with OP though). I'll never do it again. I think it's much healthier when they have someone on equal footing that can tell them when they're being unreasonable and

The South should have been allowed to secede from the Union. The US would be much better off today although that would have come at the expense of the new country.

Haha, this also happened to me. Although in my defense, I was actually thinking of leaving the company before becoming lead. In fact I probably stayed longer than I would have otherwise due to the opportunity.

I don't know if those types of articles have any effect. Salaries are much higher in SE than other fields. That has a much larger impact of driving people towards CS than any articles could have.

I've wondered why software engineers don't get royalties similar to Hollywood writers. If a writer writes a hit show/movie that is still played 10 years down the road, they receive royalties. Why isn't software the sam

Stayed in Canada too long. It had always been in the back of my mind to move to the US for work but I never did due to not being confident enough. I realized in my mid-30's that I was approaching a "now or never" scenario and
