   > Engineering manager, product manager and project manager What kind of Agile are following that has these roles defined?

   If you say "Project Manager", I'm already suspicious that you're actually doing agile. The most popular agile framework scrum doesn't have a project manager role.

   1. Companies choose to make money above everything else. 2. Companies choose ethics above making money. You can only pick one, and it seems you want companies to go for option 1. I want to see more companies go for option 2.

   At the company I'm currently working, they accept that seniors crunch out less code than juniors. Because of all the "side jobs" you listed.

   At $8, you still get "half of the ads". At this rate of advertisers dropping out, it will be a very tiny 50%.

   Elon clearly never admits mistakes involving his ego. Same with the discussion now with Kasparov where Elon clearly didn't know he was fighting the Putin regime for a long time, but still doubles down on his mistake. This character tra

   True, but when the corporate entity makes revenue, you basically decide to either keep it as a profit, or reinvest into the company itself. You would assume that reinvesting means the company is growing and so is worth more. I get it that s

   Did I say something stupid because of the downvotes? If a company chooses to reinvest the profit into the company, and therefore increases the valuation, it can be a gain, right? In that case no profit is made. If you have $1 loss and gain

    I think half of the ads and more exposure of your tweets.

    I get it that this is about profit. But to be fair, you have to factor in the valuation of the company to see if something was gained or lost in all those years.

    5 to 10% sounds way too high for me. To validate, I did a quick google search to see how YouTube premium converts, and it seems at 2.5%, which seems realistic to me.

    @dril seems to come close (I didn't know him, probably because he only has 1.7M followers). On twitter he's only at place 5,391 ( https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/dril ). MrBeast and PewDiePie are both

    Browser bookmarks are very convenient to add. So why would I use this app instead of just bookmarking pages?

    Marketing wise the difference is huge. Say you release a new game, and want to know which marketing channels to focus on. As it turns out, Twitter will not give you much new customers that haven't come into contact with your game befor

    I know for (indie) games, twitter is a lagging indicator. That means you don't get famous through twitter, but twitter is a lagging indicator of the success on Steam. I can look up the source of this statement if you're interested

    Are you sure the popularity on twitter was the driving factor and not a lagging indicator of their podcast success?

    Can you name the MrBeast or PewDiePie of twitter?

    PewDiePie, MrBeast, Kids Diana Show, Like Nastya, Vlad and Niki in top 10. Great trolling.

    Maybe they lose the appeal as you say. But on the other hand, maybe everyone now wants to avoid not having it.

    Sure, but that small number of people are already famous outside of twitter. YouTube and TikTok creates new celebrities, twitter doesn't.

    Let's take the US as example: you claim that news sources will not discredit the president or government?

    by koonsolo 4y ago

    You have to ask this question: How is the government controlling the media? In Russia's case, it's pretty clear. They have laws to prohibit free press, jail time for claiming things opposite to the Kremlin. In some other cases, it

    Western media is not controlled by the goverment, so they are free to report on anything they want. I saw them interview pro-russian people in those regions right in the battle areas. On YouTube I follow Denys Davydov, a Ukrainian pilot tha

    Reading through the responses here there seem to be 2 kinds of ways to look at things: 1. Manager needs to be the most knowledgeable, and steer the team with the correct decisions. 2. Manager cannot be close to the code due to other respons
