Neither should be offenses that cause someone to go to prison. Criminal justice reform is so badly needed in this country.

I went from styled, to just using style as much as possible, to finally using tailwind. It's a wonderful development experience, and I hardly ever need to go beyond it. Can't recommend it enough, it makes developing quicker and

You'll make way more money in the long run if you own up to mistakes like this. It builds trust in your company, so that when they think about renewing their contract they remember you have integrity and aren't trying to rip them

Well written tests make refactoring a breeze. Poorly written tests make refactoring nigh impossible, and usually don't contribute to anything other than code coverage metrics. Focus on quality, not quantity.

Those are some intense mental gymnastics.

I honestly don't know why people are resisting these sort of changes so much. I think it's due to Parkinson's law of triviality. It's so easy for people to have an opinion on this, when I would rather change the offendi

I think I dislike the new repo view because the two main columns are reversed from what my brain thinks they should be. Did a quick jumble of the html and css to things I would prefer: https://imgur.com/a/1HEROxa Not

I agree that companies tend to over hire. My company certainly does, which leads to things taking much more time they would with less folks (and often more buggy). It's the age old problem of throwing engineers at things thinking it&

I'm interested in why you feel that way about Netflix. I've been digging into their source code and it's a complicated beast, with flags such as `isGreekAndSafari`. Beyond that, they have to deal with all the random busines

You say "essentially political reasons". I and others say "humanitarian reasons". I think that's the big disconnect here. You don't think ICE does immense harm (you're even willing to downplay it as &quot

I just want to point out that you're wrong to say these places "didn't do anything". Or rather, I would contend that they did do something, aka nothing, which is what led to this situation. "First, I must confess t

I'll say to you what I end up saying to everyone who has this view, read the The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. I can guarantee that if you read that book and look at the data, you'll change your mi

Yeah, that's the same way I've gone about getting raises. And like you, I don't have a bad relationship with the company I'm at. Even if I do end up leaving, I think they'd be happy to work with me again in the fut

by diob 6y ago
This isn't how I've seen it work out where I work. Anytime someone expresses they're going to leave, my company bends over backwards (sometimes too much to be honest) to try and make them happy. I think it all depends on how

I've had some extensions that were approved, had no changes, then suddenly disapproved because someone on the chrome team decided to re-review it and didn't understand webpack / minification. I've been so busy I haven&#x

I replied much the same to someone on twitter. They were complaining that their coworkers were good friends and they thought remote meant they would no longer have friends. No! You'll now be able to make friends outside of tech! Ima

I don't think you read my comment closely. I have almost 4 years of savings right now that I could depend if I wanted to (hell, I could pay off my house if I wanted to, but I know it's better to keep this money in case I need it

I would be utterly drained financially. Most bankruptcy in the USA is due to healthcare. So after diligently saving / working hard / "doing things right" I'd end up in the same situation as someone who lives payche

I hope this pandemic forces more folks to realize that it's possible to do everything right and still need help or a safety net. Who am I kidding though. . . Folks will continue to think that anyone down on their luck deserves it. I&#

I'm glad you are principled. Get paid what you're worth folks!

Very much agree. I severed ties with my "parents" back in December after realizing I'm old enough and successful enough that I don't have to put up with their narcissism and abuse anymore. It's nice to not have to

I feel like Maslow's hierarchy of needs addresses why so many choose to work there.

Have you considered consulting? You sound like a driven individual, so why not set your own rates and cut out the middle man?

I agree that we have to go anonymous, but unfortunately anonymous comments do not bear the same weight. There must be some middle ground. I'm guessing unions would help protect such speech.

by diob 7y ago
This is why unions are so important. Anonymous comments aren't worth near as much those with a name behind them, so I don't buy that as a solution. How can we expect to improve as a society, if we fire everyone who has the courage

You've put into words what I was thinking about the other day. I always hear folks say "Weird there was no inflation after the 2008 stimulus" or even experts try to claim that there is none. But it's not about inflation

How does a person outside the system compete or move up at all then? Sell immediately to someone who owns the means of production? I don't disagree with your thoughts about patents, but I also don't know how to protect regular fo

I think the problem is that no real clear cut method for deciding on duplication vs abstraction exists or could exist. It takes a human to look at the context and decide if duplicating or abstracting is the right answer.
