They should have been monitoring the traffic within their infrastructure. I can understand rolling something out for a couple of months but two years is a bit excessive for this type of use case. It's like going to a pump that counts t

We can all sit in a room and recite things that do not sound right to us in our little high-chairs. The point is, she did not tell the CTO that she was a victim of sexual harassment. End of story. Informing the CTO that one of the managers

I think you should take your advice here. Recode's version: 'In Fowler’s account of her year at Uber, she says that she explicitly reported the incidents of sexual harassment directly to Pham when she ran out of clear remedies. No

Did YOU read THE Fowler's account? "For example, Fowler wrote that she also spoke to the company’s chief technology officer, Thuan Pham, about a termination threat Fowler’s manager made for reporting his manager. That type of thre

Are you implying that the CTO created a culture of harassment and told HR to sweep things under the rug? Based on what? Assumptions?

Let's use some logic here, instead of quotes. An unqualified HR department that does not have proper procedures in place may not notify or relay all of the facts to other parties. Using your logic, if I'm in charge of HR and simpl

Doesn't matter because this is a modern version of which hunt; everybody is assuming that the CTO knew about this simply because he is a CTO. They do not know what it is to be a CTO; pretending does not count He can't know things

> This is actually an odd case, as it was mainly the result of improper training and different configurations between two planes. That might be the case, but I would rather not be on a plane where children are allowed inside the cockpit.

Why is this on the front page with over 30 points? This is not an issue with CloudFlare; their service will pass whatever weak E-Tags you want to the external request. They are proxying the misconfiguration over. The title should be 'M

I never used the word complicated. If you are a technology company, the architecture should be interesting. Great engineers will not stick around if you call it a day and become a feature factory. Unless your goal is to retain sub-par seat

> scalability is easy now Dumb, often limited scalability is easy now. Elastic Beanstalk approach is only as good as it's the weakest link, which you have no control over. EC2 is having issues with recovering from standby? Good luck

Except that you don't need a CTO if you are building out static HTML pages. Sometimes you need to put a twist on the problem to make it a bit more interesting if you want to attract smart people.

A part of me does not understand how start-ups find so many different ways to burn the inventors money. Another part of me wonders how these people have so little workload that they can afford to sit in a 2.5-hour class every week and take

Only if the output is an issue, I rather have an engineer who is still excited about coding vs. an engineer with barely any production.

Are you telling me the countries that could care less about spamming elegant PR pieces every other day about women in technology, have more women engineers? Can we brainwash them with a Chinese version of Kardashians or something?
