Why? Are the people that drive trains(original engineers) going to be upset? If he writes code he's an engineer.

And honestly if the whole company was like your manager an argument could be made you still made the right choice. Just wanted to share my experience :)

True. And I do think it taught me a valuable lesson that needed to be learned so I wouldn't say it was a bad thing all together staying longer, just expensive.

I remember the loyalty I felt as a junior engineer to that first manager that actually showed empathy and helped me. I stayed in that role longer than I should have and cost myself a lot of growth and money by not switching jobs every 2 to

It's not for you, it's for the next tech entrepreneur who may stumble on this thread. It's a warning that if your livelihood or something is really important to you, you should not build it inside google or apples walled gard

His own developer account was linked to yours ... that's how this works. In the future, fully control the accounts yourself or don't build in someones walled garden and then complain when they ask you to leave.

These stories are always one sided and gloss over the minor policy violation parts. When we get the full story it's usually less black and white. Quick skim over the thread and it sounds like they let an ex-employee have access to one

This is going to come off as glib but the W3C has no relevance anymore, it exists to give the WHATWG the stamp of approval on it's RFCs. It's like the grandfather you give deference to but hasn't been relevant in years. They

If you're working for a for-profit company .... uhh no? And I'm a software engineer, I solve business problems with code. If I decide to to write some code that doesn't help the company I would probably be fired or at least p

I think it does. At the end of the day they will (and should) choose to protect the company above all else. That's their only job. They can also want to help people, have a ton of empathy and be literal saints. But that's their pe

HR has 1 job. Protect the company, they aren't your friends at all. If announcing a teammates passing helps the company they would do it, if they don't think it would they wouldn't. No emotions come into this. (this is not to

Had 2 panic attacks from a well being manager forcing social interaction to keep up team moral. So yeah there is no easy solution, we're all different.

The UX between a A4 desktop printer and a receipt printer is different, this is almost in the realm of a practical solution to a real tech problem (almost). Also, not speaking for others but I enjoyed it because it's a great example of

Fantastic idea, I hope we see a resurgence in this type of tactile, physical tech. I also wish there was a metal spike to put closed issues on as mentioned in another comment, lol. Just makes sense.

If he's serious about starting a new career he needs to be willing to swallow a bit of his pride, but starting as a test engineer is a great way to get a foot in the industry from what I've seen and from who I've mentored. Sh

Oh good we're discussing this again. The rancor this protest has caused in certain tech circles has really shown that we believe we're somehow different or better than the rest of the world. In the real world 1 specific region has

Your argument doesn't logically follow. I can't connect your first and second sentences to any point anyone was making. Asking google to take down someones opinion about a business would be violating that persons first amendment r

Got to say the fact that you thought someone leaving a 1 star review on a service you don't own, google, was worth you escalating it to a real person tells me these companies are doing the right thing. And shaming the CEOs when you mad

If we go by the choices we've made as an industry our intentions are how can we make a ton of money and effectively kill more people. (The first large scale software project and literally the reason our industry was so well funded to s

What the node ipc maintainer did was prove there was at least one person with scruples in this industry. Reading the rest of this thread is proving he's a minority though, depressing. Also if you're going to delete my comments jus

Nope, I'd still hire them and this tells me the ecosystem is dealing with a threat in an appropriate way. Russia citizens have given up their right to play with the rest of the tech world. The fact that this is a silly way to do it doe

He's the boogey man to a large portion of society. He makes the left look slightly bad so any chance to showcase he's just an evil capitalist that steals grandmas money rockets to the top of HN.

The Day the Bank of England was caught in an artificial pumping scheme is way more accurate of a title. But I guess anything to smear Soros and the "left" gets upvoted to HN nowadays. Connection being the authoritative right sees

Some of the earliest software I know of was for guidance systems. Was that political? Edit* To expand I think it was and we are naive if we believe we aren't making political statements with a lot of the choices we make.

I never said 20,000 people should die, please don't put words in other peoples mouths. It's against HN rules. I'm saying if the Russian people showed that they disliked Putin in large enough numbers this would end. (either wi

Are the Ukrainians not real people? Young girls, parents of toddlers are getting killed right now by Russians and we are excusing not protesting this cause they may get in trouble, nah that's not ok.

Next time start by not writing a comment that doesn't add value and is against HN rules. What in particular is wrong about their analysis?
