This has always struck me as one of the more blatant and out-in-the-open financial inequalities in this country.

IMO giving Engineers “space to learn” and “work with new tech” is one of the greatest challenges any Engineering leader faces. I have a pet theory that the soa/micro services trend has in large part been driven by this problem - giving

I think OP’s question was why do we need an “ungoogled chromium” in the first place, shouldn’t stock Chromium already be ungoogled? And if it’s not, in practice how is it then different from Chrome?

It’s already happening IMO. Tech wage growth has been pretty slow esp outside of the FAANGs, and many agreed upon “best practices” are commonplace in the industry now, leaving less room for differentiation among workers

Agreed that that was the most interesting part of the essay, but not with the “easier to spy upon” part - I’ve been working remotely for years now and whenever a conversation leads anywhere close to being “sensitive” (eg, even talk of poten

Even more, the words “bad” and “good”. Yes we should be using the words “simpler”, “more maintainable”, “more approachable for newcomers” etc and their opposites. Engineering is all tradeoffs- let’s be precise on our adjectives unless we’re

The good thing about starting with just server rendering is that you can sprinkle in react if you just have one section with heavy interactivity and build from there, whereas it’s harder to go the other way around

I used to do a fair amount of artsy stuff, and always stepped back to admire my work at multiple points in the process, as I suspect isn't uncommon among artists Now at times when I have the space and time to code things the way I want

Lobbying and corporate interests has hollowed out our government, simple as that. Great for the markets though, which in turn causes those few who make it into the investing class to vote for more of the same, creating a vicious cycle.

You need to have available funds to do this though - for those fully invested, they will have to wait for their paychecks/contributions, which could be peanuts compared to their current exposure

Eeehhhhhh, if the overall company doesn’t have a good culture or vision etc, there only so much management can paper over

I’m stealing this too! I often try to persist exploratory history as separate remote branches, but for some reason a lot of the devs I’ve worked with are very adamant about deleting any and all “unneeded” branches, and I end up appending su

Sometimes I wish I was a salesperson. My performance is clear as day and I automatically get compensated accordingly

There’s more nuance to this - poorly written unit tests (eg excessive mocking and things like testing private methods) actually make it harder to refactor code, and using strongly typed languages vastly reduces the importance of unit test

Two of the more recent ones that really grate me are “lift” (which isn’t even used consistently, eg “what is the lift (effort) on this” and “how much lift (benefit) would this give us”)... and “North Star” shudder

Ctrl+F ability is so understated. I often use mobile sites rather than their respective apps precisely so I can Ctrl+F to find what I'm looking for on the page quickly

You’re missing the point. This is a bad algorithm that is in effect nothing but false positives, and not even on his posts, but on posts he _liked_ Do you want to live in a world where you don’t dare to do or say _anything_ online that can

Yes, this is the standard (and often correct) refrain - but think about it from the founders perspective: He risks 0 of his own funds to have a shot at getting rich and never having to work again; he gets the excitement of growing a company

I like bringing up this barometer the next time I'm asked to work weekends: "Did a bomb go off in our datacenter? No? It can wait then."

I can understand requiring the team to be present/online during a certain chunk of the day, so that meetings can be had and people are around if others need help or need to coordinate, but, time tracking for FTEs!? I can only see the m
