I give all my juniors a score from ~2-4, which is a multiplier on the estimate for any task they're assigned. If it would take me N hours to do something, I expect them to take no more N*M hours to finish the task, and if at any point

You get paid an up front amount for enrolling, and then you get paid a per-event amount for complying, as well as different amounts for e.g. testing, having smart monitoring, etc.

I see two big problems with GPT: 1. It presents information really well that is completely false. I don't know exactly how it works under the hood, but sometimes it spits out paragraphs that read like the fever dreams of a flat earth

I've worked in curtailment. It's a fraught shell game. I think it's a great idea, but the system needs better controls. Many companies sign up for curtailment for e.g. heat related reasons who have heat based energy needs. Wh

It's interesting that Elon laid out that Medium is one of Twitter's first targets, and now Medium is making this shift.

I don't believe for a second that this has anything to do with safety. There is an imprudent war on fossil fuels going on in this country, that is well intentioned but poorly thought out. And to frame this as a DEI issue is just icing

Hi, so I looked at the links in the above post and while cartoony they are clearly not okay. It's not a "normie" take that we shouldn't sexualize children, even if they are animated.

A friend of mine (not in Japan) took over the family business. Previous to this, he was a "second chef" (is that a thing?) at a relatively well known restaurant regionally. He took a ~25% paycut, he works harder and longer than he

When a company does this, it's generally a knee jerk reaction to engineering telling product that development pace is slow because of "all the meetings."

I disagree with some of this greatly. Some of it is 100% spot on. 1. Getting laid of is usually pretty liberating. Everyone knows the company isn't generally doing well, the air is hot with friction, and you probably know you're w

I have been turning my life around for the last 10 years. I will be turning my life around for the next 40 or more. You get out of the world what you bring into it. The lie that success is based on luck or starting point or whatever is not

The government will incentivize the kind of homebuilding that profits developers most (which currently seems to be townhomes in the 300k range and mcmansions in the 650k+ range in the suburban US). Developers are prolific political donors.

If you ever intend to have more than 1 developer working on the project, just use React.

Because art has never been more separate from the people. There are small local art galleries in my city. They are vibrant, and full of the kind of art I want to look at. Meanwhile, the local big name art gallery (which just rebranded to an

Completely agree with everything said here. Because of the way Rimworld is balanced, there is really only one way to properly "play" the game.

Being a manager is like having kids. A lot of people don't want to have kids, because they see how other people's kids behave. You can do the right things and raise incredible children. A lot of people don't want to be a mana

Yesterday several of my friends were timed out on Facebook for criticizing Kanye because they linked to a rumble snippet/clip/whatever. That's about as ham fisted a censorship policy as you can have. Please don't be dism

Twitter is already losing advertisers in droves. And not because of its own actions. It seems that, similar to newspapers, purchasing ads is also in some manner purchasing control of the platform.

I understand and mostly agree with what you're trying to say, but your first statement seems a bit prejudiced.

The problem is the land owners who didn't see it as a tragedy are still the ones pulling the strings. Florida is on borrowed time.

Hiring has slowed to a crawl, and the hardest hit appear to be junior/low level devs not going into the startup space. I'm seeing a lot of hiring for senior positions. I'm getting more, not fewer emails for interviews as a CT

Science programming jobs suck. You get all the bad parts of academia, including less money, plus you're seen as a janitor rather than an engineer, and you get to deal with scientists all day. Tooling roles in SWE in every other field a
