these are the first people to go in times of trouble or politics, which is a real shame because the bulk of work in almost all companies is done by solid, experienced workers, not rockstar hierarchy climbers

look for smaller, private companies. They'll require you to do a broader range of tasks, but there's no progression because there's no hierarchy or formal management. Most of the devs I know who've been in the same role

I think you've answered the question. It's really easy to generate slop now. AI to build a standard front end, AI to generate content. It's like geocities again, but no labours of love; not much labour at all.

I really dislike almost everything Oracle and Larry Ellison, but he had an early-days adage "There are 2 jobs at Oracle: you're either building software or selling it". At a early-stage startup most people should be doing bot

This is how auto executives designed the Pontiac Aztek. How can you possibly become or develop new "architects" with this approach?

I'm a first-time Director at a SW company with a total org under me of ~30 people in 5 different subject areas. I struggle with what you highlight, but it's impossible for me to go deep in all these areas. MY boss is the CTO and h

This just sounds like having a point developer. The challenge is too many companies expect this without giving up a feature-dev headcount. Any work the get done aside from point is a bonus and unplanned.

The best development teams WANT this. They will readily take on the responsibility to get the autonomy. The problem is many companies give the former without the latter...

I believe you're referencing the Engineering Management principle of "share shit work evenly".

hand-off needs to be really carefully defined and managed efficiently. Client tickets rarely respect arbitrary calendars, and the context switching alone can be really expensive. The best I've seen is a primary/secondary setup whe

with the WASM work in DuckDB this is actually a great use-case. For so many workflows you can do everything in a local browser session.

It has great CSV and JSON processing so I find it's almost better thought of as an Excel-like tool vs. a database. Great for running quick analysis and exploratory work. Example: I need to do some reporting mock-ups on Jira data; DuckD

Supabase IMO sits in the middle of the curve between Firebase and PocketBase, not really the same use case as DuckDB & MotherDuck.

I've looked at quite a few options, and this one (the product of a single person) is a great base, and MIT licensed: https://github.com/caioricciuti/duck-ui If you want to support a real OS UI take a look.

by dowager_dan99 2y ago
I don't see this as the same thing. Deno is an OS product within a commercial enterprise. DuckDB is an OS project/org; MotherDuck is a for-profit company. They have tight integration and partnerships but were largely independent.

>> but it’s intention and effort which matters. I think I understand what you're saying, but this is a very dangerous generality. I think the HOW matters more than the intent.

it seems overly charitable to give Google, THE advertising company, the benefit of the doubt here when the biggest impact is it will now show way more advertising.

it's a good base level, but misses dynamic updates, custom rules and interactive element picker/blocker.

by dowager_dan99 2y ago
this seems realistic with consideration of a lot of previous tech advancements. We focus on the disruption, but meanwhile the efficiency improvements follow closely (and often more easily) on the coat-tails. We should definitely be looking

seeing your first YT ad in a decade is quite the shock!

also you'd think that the pushers of this agenda would get real-time updates to things like block lists metadata. God knows they do it themselves several times a day...

only gets updated when published and doesn't support custom rules or element picking :(

by dowager_dan99 2y ago
I have a similar situation, though for more personal, first-world problems. I used custom rules for things like YT shorts, Jira's giant bar for emoji-responses in comments, etc. I'm not sure there's a good substitute on Chrom

We don't need to do this directly, but any attempt is high stakes. Cuba armed itself by proxy and while it has had some form of "independence" at what cost?

let's not even open the conversation on Teams. The fact that so many businesses (including my employer) run their fundamental activities on such a piece of shit BLOWS MY MIND. I'm sure there's some cool tech and lots of smart

I really have not seen anything material since windows 7 that would meet the bar of major improvement. Windows 7 with bug & security fixes, adding support for new hardware standards and SW developments, and feature evolution would be su
