I think OPs point is there is probably very little ethical difference between Google, Facebook, and the NSA. The people at all three probably aren't also climbing moral mountain either. Most people in tech probably have to struggle or

You could also just be trying to apply logic to someone with a low-cost, nonsensical argument. The irony being that it's the same sort of attack you're describing, but on your brain.

Fully native isn't especially realistic. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, general purpose tooling written by a small team can't support multiple native UIs. What often works for me is something like Wails, but it has

With respect to fighting wars? No. The military has a couple stand out statistics, first being that most enlisted are of generational servitude while most officers are from opportunity (college recruitment). That means most people enlisted

Generally, the equivalent slur of the left is wantonly labeling things as "conservative". Democrat is kind of odd manifestation as a slur, but I guess represents the parties disdain more directly. The left usually isn't that

I would bias towards can't for these reasons: - Organizations are very bad at promoting - Retroactive pay scale adjustments are rare - Promotion requires tenure and often companies don't align incentives towards tenure

Terminal level generally indicates a glass ceiling that most folks can't rise above. Senior and Staff are generally terminal levels for the rest of the industry.

For whatever reason folks think I made a political jab. I did not. Here's what I said to someone who posted something similar to you: Frankly, I read this article this morning when it broke on the NYP. The NYP stays in my feed but when

Frankly, I read this article this morning when it broke on the NYP. The NYP stays in my feed but when I read their stuff I almost always cross it with other sources. There are none though because all that exists of this story right now is

Probably worth noting this story was first published by the New York Post. Take that for what you will. That said, this is a pretty wild turn of events. From the initial and continued sexual harassment/assault to the racism, and subseq

I've worked at two larger West coast firms and my experience is that executives get worse with pressure. It's not they're born evil or that their compensation gets to their heads. To say it's inevitable is me acknowledgi

I would say it's a aspect of Bay Area tech that is uniquely common in Bay Area tech, but exists abroad at lesser frequencies. Downplaying it given the amount of people who come out to talk about this very thing, as you are doing, als

The article wasn't talking about right-leaning media, OP said that. Most of the business owners in tech aren't right leaning, and most of them are saying junk like this. Which is my point, right-leaning media runs around with a bu

It's honestly not that hard to work at these firms as long as you let go of any sense of self and adhere to the dog and pony show of algorithm interviews. After that, your chances of employment are mostly a lottery, which you will even

Hell, even in blue states. I live in Oregon and we're fighting a gun law that was clearly laughing at the hurdles one must go through in order to undo a law.

Then this message is probably not for you. In regards to my own experience at startups, I've never met a selfish founder (not to say they don't exist). I'm specifically talking about established companies. Something happens t

If you're a line worker businesses, managers, and executives are not your friends. That might seem controversial to some, but to me it's just the pecking order. Executives usually take home large sums from these businesses for ver

Awesome experience write up. Question for you and OP, do you find that using languages like Elixir makes it so you have to look for a certain kind of dev given that Elixir is a pretty niche community or are folks with no experience able t

This is a pretty terrible take, but you don't really seem like someone that can be reasoned to see the human side of an equation. Good luck!

You said it yourself. They're not profitable and they lack cash flow. If they hired under those circumstances without telling employees what kind of risk they were taking, that is unethical. I don't need to know who got laid off o

No, but by that logic they knew what was going to happen if they hired people and did so anyway. That doesn't even pass the most basic of ethical smell tests.

I think it'd be more likely that someone discovers opioids mask their pain while using them for legitimate purposes. After that is when gaming the doctor, street buys, and finally substitutions take place.

You need to use styles of managing work that reflect the nature of the work and the responsibilities of the people doing the work. "Sprints" work okay for product work. I use them a lot less rigidly than most people do with succes
