Absolutely correct, but I think it’s still valuable to be able to recognize if you’re struggling against the code or the domain. Additionally, once you recognize that you can also recognize if you’re dealing with incidental complexity (e.g.

The trick is to dig deeper into those big library's dependencies as well. It's turtles all the way down. The other thing I find is that big libraries are either mostly dependency bloat (as implied above) or dealing with a hard dom

Not published yet, but I snagged https://absurd.engineering/ and hope to write about security engineering, cloud security, and running my own consultancy.

I don’t disagree with you, but I also don’t believe allowing or continuing to normalize deception of the general public is an acceptable status quo. Congress and the public may decide what level of non-renewable energy sources is acceptable

I think the argument here is that they shouldn’t deceive the public about the realities of their operations in order to raise or sustain their profits. If the service is essential, the consumers of said goods can make their own decisions ab

Both a customer (and now investor!) if Kagi’s and can’t say enough nice things about the product. It’s refreshing to have a search engine that will give you relevant results rather than shoveling ads down your throat.

There is plenty of money that can be shaken loose, but there is no political will to pursue it. Bezos himself could personally pay to educate a generation of US citizens. Most of us can’t process the amount of wealth that one individual has

I've been using Nu as my default shell in Windows Terminal on my personal PC for a good year or so now. Can't recommend it enough. It integrates pretty well with windows PowerShell/CMD in that you can easily reference binarie

Reddit has about as much technical complexity in its core product as Twitter—both can be trivially cloned. Alternatives exist. It’s the network effects that made Reddit valuable: the people, communities, 3rd-party clients, platform integrat

I view it more as an observation on compensation compared to value their labor brings to the employer’s bottom line.

This is a short-sighted argument. A list of who cares: * Any media reporting on what’s happening within Reddit. Remember when WSB was all over the news cycles? Picture that but with some malicious mod/admin setting somebody up to take

I'm of a similar mind. I also think the argument of this protecting the employee, while true, feels a it weak in the face of an employer deciding to leave a laptop they didn't adequately scrub with said ex-employee.

by d4mi3n 3y ago
I don’t disagree with you. I’ve been wondering what the economics of shipping thousands of laptops internationally shakes out to be. I suspect it may be a wash given the laptops are used and are likely depreciating assets. Anybody ever mana

Also laid off by Shopify. Agree that leaking was not the right call but I would have to vigorously disagree about the “well done” lay-off bit. Issues I observed included: * A complete lack of resourcing for the operational teams conducting

I've become a big fan of LogSeq for these reasons. In LogSeq, you have pages and trees of data (aka blocks[1]. All can be cross-referenced or embeded between each context. It's quite nice. 1: https://docs.logseq.com&#x2

This misses the point that the op is making: $100/minus cost prohibitive for anybody looking to use the API casually or explore deeper integrations for it. You might be able to get a solo developer to pay $5 - $20 USD per month to tr

Shopify is a bit weird in that the CEO Tobi has controlling shares in the company. Short of embezzlement or intentionally destructive behavior he's effectively unaccountable to anyone but his own stock portfolio.

Same boat. I thought something was bound to happen based on chatter and signals I was seeing. Weird and contradictory comms around budgets. Noises about manager/employee ratios. Timing of financial reports and stock trading blackout pe

Is there any way to know if any audit mechanism works before it's actually been put into practice? I share your concerns, but it seems a bit early to worry that auditing + lawsuit enforcement isn't worth giving a spin. Do we have

This is an interesting topic I've explored a bit. The tldr; is that if your business can't afford or recover from a vendor having an incident, you shouldn't be using a vendor. This is often why highly regulated industries are

I'd argue that they're overlapping sets of concerns, not necessarily identical to or subsets of each other. Off the cuff: * Being an anonymous person walking through a city. This is a privacy concern and only becomes a security co

This is a sentiment that is repeated with every new generation of programmers. I heard it when I joined the industry. I’m sure many before and after me did as well. Hard to say if it’s any truer now than it is today, but the kind of work we

The GS schedule capped out below what I was making at the time. Other commenters here have pointed out what the dollar value is, but I forget the designation for the salary band.

> leave you with a predictable but modestly achieving team at best. What I'd give for this to be the norm. For any organization past a certain size, having a team that performs predictably is worth it's weight in gold.

I'm not sure the salary matters much in practice here. What we should avoid are scenarios that force folks out of their livelihood when they're subject to a non-compete through lawsuit or threat of one. I'd love to see them g

I think as professionals many of us like to take pride in our work. A natural way to do that is for code to be "clean". The problem, as I see it, is that this is often a subjective metric and what we take pride in doesn't alw
