I think they were trying to say because Twitter successfully suppressed conspiracy theories in the past that it gives them a pass when the information happened to not be a conspiracy theory. If that was the takeaway, I fully disagree. If yo

Normal? That's not what I was talking about in this specific instance of Twitter though. Maybe you can make your point more clear.

Elon's playing word games. When the average person talks about State Affiliated Media they're referring to editorial control. As far as I know NPR has always had editorial control and goes to great lengths to maintain neutrality i

Micromanagement has been around for a long time and workers have long fought to undo the entrenched philosophy of it. It isn't just an expression, it's an entire ideology that's well-defined and has been for some time: https

If you go on to read "micromanaging done right" it's pretty clear that the author is a micromanagement apologist.

The first half of the article is a great perspective for managers and senior engineers. Then I got to this: > If you think about it, we should all love micromanagers: they are helping us do our job! By making decisions for us, checking o

> Engineers read code when they have to work on it. If naming and structure are good, it will be self evident what that code does and why. In early greenfield software, sure, but given the test of time this assumption will always fail. T

Not to undermine the post, but this to me seems like, "mature software engineer" versus "non-mature software engineer" with the caveat that not all engineers make it to maturity.

Under your logic we've mostly all morally failed. The truth to me is a lot more nuanced. A lot of times engineers don't know how a product is actually being used. They have some key metrics they're responsible for but those

I hate to break it to you, but if you ask every software engineer which companies are morally flexible you'll quickly have a notch in every companies belt and then some. It also usually isn't engineers that are the morally flexibl

I think most of them also get commission. Depending on how many people they recruit that could be a sizeable amount per year. Recruiters do work really hard, I've personally known a few, so I don't think that's an indictment

In organizations I've been in it takes a while to file or lay someone off. It's generally easier to get them transferred out somewhere where they're miserable instead. Some people don't find those jobs terribly miserable

In the article they mentioned they had a lot of patches to rails. They effectively made a fork. At enterprises it can be seen as not worth it to go through getting your changes merged in because it can take a long time. Once you make that d
