What's most likely to happen: 1. She'll ask for a raise. 2. She won't get a raise. 3. She'll move to a new company. Depending on the company point 2 might not look like an outright "no". It could be a soft &quo

Cutting edge technologist for the investors, old school factory owner for managing people. Makes perfect sense if you're trying to extract the max amount of money.

> Musk told workers in the email that he wants to see subscriptions account for half of Twitter’s revenue. Given the direction in which their advertising revenue is going, they might get there.

Always on for the meetings in which I actually need to talk to people. Everyone else at the company has video on too. I could occasionally turn it off for big meeting with 30+ people in which I'm just listening.

Yes, it's a well solved problem and much easier to do in Python. The author just wanted to do it in Rust, that's all.

No, it won't change the diff in hiring postings from month to month. If anything, it might make positions more difficult to find if the posters from the hiring companies don't keep up with the threads.

Only billions of people using social media to interact with each other. But since there's a downturn you get to write an article with a clickbait title.

Even "perpetrator" is harsh - overhiring is a business mistake, not some ethical or legal violation. It's part of the deal - you get hired, and you can get laid off later. It sucks for the employees to go through but they are

This question comes up in every layoff thread. It doesn't mean "this will have negative consequences on me personally". It means "I don't blame anyone else for this".

No way, increasing compensation for current employees was difficult even when the market was hot. I'm not buying that the companies with hiring freezes are giving out raises (certainly not more raises than before).

Layoffs at the top companies put downward pressure on the entire job market - fewer open positions, less mobility for everyone, more competition... if you're working at an average non-tech company and want to move up in salary, now you

Yes, he’s a billionaire and he’ll be fine anyway. Does accountability mean something only if his life is ruined or he loses everything? I don’t get that line of thinking at all.

by jstx1 4y ago
Equating accountability to his lifestyle changing makes no sense to me.

Tax away… all the Meta stock? We’re talking about ownership of assets, not about income. What do we do when we take his stock - do we sell it back on the market crashing the price or do we establish government ownership of every large compa

He's losing 10s of billions, that seems like a very real way in which he's being held accountable.

Hypothetically, what could he say/do that would make you go "oh he's incompetent and he'll run twitter into the ground"?

I don't get why you're singling out Go - you can certainly test your Go code just like in any other language (and Go's tools for it are probably better anyway).

Arguments against: 1. Google prefer Kotlin over Java for Android. 1. You're old so your opinion counts for less. 6. On the stackoverflow survey Java is less wanted than APL, bash and CSS. 2. Go has a cuter mascot. 3. Java just copied f

As a beginner (having finished the book and not much more) the example in the top comment is very difficult to parse and hold in my head. At a glance I have no idea what we're doing and why.

Wait what? :D Written comments are very different from verbal communication which is different from charisma. So no, they definitely aren't all charismatic, far from it probably. Also, "trope of programmers being low IQ"?
