I’d suggest that if the general populace that use your app sort of see “Caribbean”, “Islands”, “Bermuda” to a degree of equivalence to the general area that they are considering for vacation, it’s probably not a dark pattern.

While it’s certainly written from the managers POV and will show that bias, but the behavior and attitude he is describing is not unheard of from SWEs and the personality types that are attracted to that vocation. Frankly it’s frustrating

When I saw this news story about the 5 bullet email it didn’t strike me as an outrageous ask, but then I saw some of the chatter where people were going ballistic about it. I was interested in the HN response to it. I mean probably a good

Yeah I agree that the manager seemed to leap pretty quick onto the “you don’t get to have independent thought in secret” train. Of course we only see one side of the story too. But it kind of feels to me like this might not have been the

Yep, it’s a mob of epic proportions. My neighborhood of 250 homes gets at least that many protesting when the HOA sends out nastygrams about dirty mailboxes. We never even make the local community news. Maybe if I can get Musk to join the

Seems like your battle is more about the work environment they are providing you in the office then WFH vs RTO. Still an uphill battle, it’s not like they are asking you to work in a dangerous and dirty factory for 8+ hours on your feet. P

Fighting RTO is going to be an uphill battle. First off, it’s a fairly narrow class of job that can be performed in a WFH environment. Those same jobs can arguably (because there is no real solid productivity data either way) be at least e

I often vote for and support 3rd party candidates and their parties. Do you? Or are you content to just let your party just run shitty candidates every election cycle? Also, I am not a Trump voter and have never been, but can y’all please

If people want to truly counter RTO efforts they need to stop focusing on the ways it negatively impacts them personally and start focusing on real ways that RTO creates a negative impact to the organization. Your CEO and leadership does

No offense but my comment was a response to the suggestion that someone who didn’t vote somehow committed wrongdoing. Not sure how a diatribe against the “evils” of the GOP voter persuasion machine speaks much to that. It’s obvious to me

This is not even remotely equivalent. Making not intervening when a crime takes place means there is a crime taking place . In the US elections are not a crime and “not voting” is not a crime.

“Complicit” is an interesting word choice here—as if a non-voter is somehow responsible for wrongdoing? What “wrong” was done here? Trump won because he was democratically elected by every measure we have, both popular vote and electoral

Not sure I agree here completely. On its own perhaps not, but if AI is able to deliver nonsensical design decisions at a faster rate than a human, you can iterate to a final better design faster.
