This reminds me of a job I had 15+ years ago where we did code reviews by emailing files to one another with our changes. It worked like this with the first part of the file being a script and the end of the file being a base64 encoded zip

I listened to that same episode of Throughline. It was a great discussion that touched on aspects I’d not considered. One the key takeaways for me was the question of “what is it trying to achieve?” and “is it working?” To which the answers

No go for the PDF for me. They’re all too large. Why even produce an ebook if it’s too large to fit on the most popular ereader? It’s only 177 pages too.

At the end of the article, it reads like BTS was already about to be dropped by Amazon before the unionization was announced. It sounds like it could be a Hail Mary by BTS ownership. Why else would an employer immediately concede to union d

Unfortunately, it does not seem to. Others have mentioned how heating and cooling a private residence is more energy intensive per person, but even vehicle miles traveled aren’t reduced. It turns out people just drive to more places that ar

I’ve worked in 6 companies over 20 years, across many teams. In none of them did devs have to commit to work in sprints. Sure, some did sprints but work rolling over was more a conversation point about priorities and scope of the work rathe

Reading that article really makes me never want to go back to being a manager. It was almost everything I disliked and found stressful about the job. That I don't really understand why others find being a manager appealing is probably

Agree with others that it's bad advice. At my last job I gave about 5 weeks notice which my manager convinced me to extend to 6 weeks. I was a manager and timing at the end of the year was not ideal due to performance review schedules
