I might be a good thing. Colleges have become complacent and too expensive. Costs of an education have been increasing while employment opportunities decreasing for some degree categories. People have been sounding alarms for a while and co

Multiple teams working on different features without communication/collaboration, leadership changes, growth hiring (brings in a lot of devs each with their own style, culture, experience or lack of), with not enough time to learn exis

One issue is agencies can have vague contracts because customers did not have a good grasp of what they actually needed, start increasing scope in subtle ways. For example, you deliver a feature and during CAT they find a way to inject new

Looks like the text was written by an llm. Also unless your product is open source, you don’t need to say anything that you don’t feel comfortable sharing. On another note, can you share the url of your product?

Everything can be changed. Previous status quo might not even have been a good thing. And I actually agree with the argument that people should be treated as individuals and not grouped. But I also acknowledge that groups do get discriminat

You’re right in principle, but taking this out of the context it should be viewed in. The only reason such policies were created is because there was already bias against certain groups. So we can claim that disparate impact policies create

If you do that, Mexico will inherit US labor laws, and workers will suddenly become very expensive. Less than white collar, but still expensive. Low cost manufacturing is built on exploiting weak labor laws in other countries. Does the US r

My problem is the number of steps and hoops to do something that used to be very fast. I feel like this is the opposite of what us engineers are supposed to offer our users. I get it is very secure, but I don't think this is a good com

Thanks for the comments. This is a strange feeling. I rarely feel so at odds with the general opinion. My experience is, passwords are a 1 second affair: open website, tap credential highlighted by password manager, trigger face/touch

I absolutely love Tailscale and can’t imagine living without it today, but that’s what scares me. If they get acquired or just reach enshitification velocity we really need someone else to step up. I know wireguard is OSS and we have headsc

The government’s definition of work needs to be broad enough to keep people from gaming it. If she had to “work” to sustain her life, that should count as work in any definition, whether this is official employment or not. Any exchange of y

As a BE engineer when that happened, I had just started to become proficient in it, coming from Angular. I threw in the towel and went back to my backend world of peace and happiness. So he's not alone, these deprecations are insane.

Let them work for a bit to get their brain juices flowing, then point out the issues in their code review. If they need more help encourage them to discuss with you personally. Never knowingly let bugs go into production.
