Not strange at all. The company basically wants the PIP employee gone but puts them on a plan instead of firing immediately, so that they aren't sued. But its bad for the company having someone on a PIP who is liable to be disgruntled

If its been documented then you're probably on your way out, or you should at least operate as if you are. I don't think a "stronger manager" would put you on an official PIP if they wanted to address the issue quickly.

I don't think its an unpopular idea. But the fact is, being an employee is a lopsided relationship. You only have one employer but they have many employees. You leave and they still have an army to keep the business going but you get l

I don't see what fairness has to do with WFH. Its in the company's best interest to maximize employee productivity. If an employee has to travel three hours per day to sit on zoom meetings, they might not be motivated to perform a

I do worry about that and that's why the most important thing is to work for the right manager. Keep on their good side, make them feel like you're an asset even if not sprinting every sprint, and I've found that they'll

Work is named "work" for a reason. Its a lot not fun. I've been slinging code for 35 years. It pays the bills, sends my kids to college etc. Of course i'm burned out but I would be tired of anything after this long. Tric

Its really not. For example, a map function tells you that there will be the exact number of outputs as inputs. A for loop doesn't have any guarantees. You have to read each line inside the loop to understand what its doing. In practic

But not because you can't easily chain functions. That's just a deficiency in the language design.

On scrum projects I've been on, its essentially the waterfall model. Business comes up with a product and date, product and engineer give high level estimates. Program manager creates a project with all the stakeholders, product manage

Err checks are a big one. I don't want to worry about error handling when prototyping. There are little things like having to prefix methods with the struct name and type, and bigger things like no default arguments and by name paramet

I've been coding full time in it on a large team for four years now. If Go is this difficult to comprehend, then maybe its not the simple language it claims to be.

You can write abstractions in Go and it has generics. Its just that the abstraction aren't as good so you end up with harder to read code.

Personally I don't find it great for prototyping. There's just too much boilerplate, which is why I use other languages for fun/personal projects.

This is the same as what restaurants do now. They started charging a "service fee" or surcharge. You might assume those extra fees are for the workers but it goes to the business.

Desks, drum machines, synthesizers, mixers are not really niche products. They take fairly common items, and create a version that appeals to hipsters but is not as useful as cheaper options. Example $2k for this little synth https:/&

Funny because I bought a pocket operator because it was the cheapest drum machine I could find. Glad they made the jump from Kia to Lamborghini.

Not obvious to me. We just implemented a streaming solution using the iterator interfaces. They are just functions so reading the code its easy to understand. Adding special language support only serves to obfuscate the actual code.

Weird. Many downvotes to my comment and then a bunch of random complaints having nothing to do with the article.

Not sure what this has to to with the article. Kind of wondering why there are so many off-topic comments attached to mine. Maybe the word suburbia sets people off?

Yes, that's a different problem than the article is referring to.

More people live in the suburbs than city centers. That's where the real problem is. I don't have any problem walking around the streets of SF.
