I have no data to back this observation up, but everyone (especially in the media, but also in corporate life) is attacking "worker productivity" lately. Everyone's got a reason, but when you dig into them they all stink.

I'm not really a fan of in-browser IDEs. To me, it seems like a good way to constrain tooling environments. What I would love to see is an extension that runs all of my tests and debugger in a type 1 hypervisor that can simply send a s

Now if only we could jail lawmakers that crash the economy with their stupid ideas. /s This seems brainless. Companies do need more accountability, but starting with a "for the children" issue is pretty bad sampling.

Ageism does occur in this industry, but I've mostly heard it around associating various levels with age or years of experience. For instance, at a financial product company I worked for I saw a man who went on to become a Googler get c

Agreed, this sounds like OP is in the wrong job. To me, there are two types of companies as an engineer. There are companies that like engineers to focus solely on product. This is the kind of company you'll hear "don't reinv

Prostate cancer is one that men should be especially familiar with. My dad was diagnosed years ago after his PCP ignored escalating PSA levels. Although he's a "survivor" of Stage 4 his life is a shell of what it was, and has

Mushrooms are already decriminalized in Portland. I've not seen any public incidents of folks on Mushrooms. Most people just stay home.

This is kind of an odd take. I'm from a small town, leaving is looked at as the privilege because opportunity is short. Additionally, people who come from families where wealth or security is not common often need to support their fami

Speaking for myself, I disagree with OP. I have a price for nights, weekends, and overtime. That price, however, went up beyond the average salary. Second to that, even if they do want to pay that money it needs to be in writing. No amount

The form of hardball (that I'm aware of) would be blacklisting providers, which means good faith people get blocked along with bad faith people. That'd limit a lot of people from the US communicating back to India. It would be pos
