What's bad about the trend - don't offices typically give you a choice of which you'd prefer? Previous workplaces I've been at had the option of an Ikea adjustable height desk for people who would occasionally switch bet

We need to balance "holding them accountable" and "being realistic". Mozilla cannot compete against Google without funding from somewhere. As far as I know, this is a fact. So the question, to me, becomes "what kind

Though I don't know about you and your experience, I'd guess that the observation is the result of confirmation bias.

It seems that you don't actually object to the principles behind Agile or the processes themselves - just people who abuse and force agile processes on others without understanding _why_ these processes were introduced in the first pla

Why? Do you know the company? There are plenty of companies that would be willing to have such a policy, even if it's not considered a common practice.

Why are you saying no, then proceeding to make the parent's point for them?

As an experiment, I love the idea! Personally, I've found it hard to escape US politics on many of the sites I frequent. The comments/discussion often end up relating the topic to the last US election in some manner - and an unpr

Curious: What makes you believe this? What is the basis of this comment?

I'm genuinely curious - where did you get this idea from? It's definitely not the case, so I'm wondering how you arrived at it.

Oh cool! So based on your comments, you've done an audit of all related code repositories and libraries to confirm? I'm sure a Facebook engineer COULD find out if Facebook is doing this - but just working at Facebook is not suffi

The context you likely have is that of the more urbanized parts of China - not the rural towns and villages where most of the more extreme ("brutal and cruel") practices take place.

This was a lot more common in many rural areas than your post is suggesting.

I'm having a hard time determining if you comments are meant to be trolling or not. You see to be adamantly against an opinion the people you're replying to don't exactly hold. You're doing the equivalent of yelling out

This is an opinion piece by one writer. You may have a valid point, but this article doesn't support your claim whatsoever.

When you are someone who lacks self-confidence or whose actions are determined by how others will think of you (taken to the extreme), this may very well be good advice. This is the type of advice that helps me personally, since I have stru
