Thanks for the reply. It was a good read. And I can agree on the points from experience. One suggestion/correction: "Your only way to track message flow is with extensive and expressive logging.", you can do distributed traci

> Tax these Good luck. And I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, just that it won't be easy. Look at what happened in Canada when they increased capital tax rate few weeks ago. It was a ton of articles and opinion piece

Unrelated to you comment here, but I figured you'll see this reply rather than one from your week old comment. I replied to your serverless comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40054222 Very interested in

Can you explain more? I'm very interested in what you have to say about serverless.

In Europe I believe you can request an 80% work week, I've seen job posting and heard it second hand. Here's a Swiss example, https://threema.ch/en/jobs#openings of 80-100% jobs In North America there were an

Late comment, maybe you'll see this. Severance is a slow burn, but the show gets really good at the end of season 1. I highly recommend you give it another chance and watch til the end. IMO, it got better and better every episode until

That's a reasonable assumption. I wonder if it's really going to hold up in court though. Basically wouldn't that imply once a non-white, non-male is hired you're basically with a high probability asking to be sued if yo

And in US employment is at-will, no? What exactly is the risk for a company? Rogue employee stealing IP? Any employee can do that already. Can't fire a low performer? We just saw more 300k people in the industry let go in 2022/202

If I had to guess, it'll be spring/summer 2025 until hiring freezes fully go away and non-senior role open up. Maybe start of 2025. These may be conservative estimates. More optimistic guesses would be fall 2024. I say this becaus

Reminds me of the monologue from Network (1976) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwMVMbmQBug It's uncanny how relevant this quote is 50 years later.

Fair enough. I get what you're saying. But is this about MongoDB trying to deter forks? Are there any live MongoDB fork? Hasn't the MongoDB hype train derailed a long time ago?

by emestifs 3y ago
It's a PR campaign?! What? MongoDB is mentioned in the footer, in greyed text. MongoDB benefits from Terraform vs OpenTofu tensions how? Do you run or work for a DB company? Because your comment sounds like a PR campaign by that logic.

I have no horse in the race, but as an outside observer, and involved in some small open source stuff, I find it interesting the dynamics of these kinds of large public events and forks. Looking at the contributor activity from Aug 13th 202

I do hope they make something great. I'm not hoping for their demise. More competition will push other browsers to be better and challenge their market share. I just am weary of the sustainability of these business models long term and

I didnt take Stewart's monologue as anti-progress. Rather the core takeaway is the vague and grandiose talk of greatness and utopia for all of humanity and the planet that is to come from the AI. And brushing aside the upheaval and co

Grandparent comment originally said, "But how are they going to repay that investment?". LOL, investors don't want repayment, they're gambling for a shot at a dump truck full of money. If they don't get that, thanks

Hiring is fundamentally broken at the vast majority of companies. Maybe the "senior" label is just to try and deter low quality candidates or maybe it's because they don't want to invest in any employee anymore for right

Which part do you disagree with? The slowness, the Fisher-Price looking UI, the overwhelming noise around posts, or the popups to login or install the app? They could've improved the styling so things were nicely formatted and easy to
