I found the article misses a discussion of how workplaces are not just about making money but also power structures. I think managers are less worried about the company making less money but about losing control over their subordinates.

But aren’t projects where you don’t have time to work in the details not also projects where the next project is waiting around the corner?

I find the most interesting part how < and especially “ don’t need to be escaped inside the href attribute. How does the HTML parser know when the attribute stops?

But why? What benefit do you get from giving your best days to the company and not use them for yourself? Usually you don’t get anything in exchange for working hard.

Most ads are scams, as they sell you an image of something you cannot reach with the product. Cigarettes don’t turn you into a cool Cowboy. Just banning the worst offenders is not enough.

Historians are completely right questioning using modern ideas on historical things. For a long time historians used the idea of nations to explain history even though that idea just originated in the 19th century. You can see this especial

It’s not as easy as that. What’s acceptable in test might not be acceptable in your customers conditions. It’s difficult to correctly measure the time for every interaction and humans are extremely bad at telling you how fast something is.

Those are based on the trust of the companies behind them though and don’t collapse so suddenly. Also MT.GOX took several days to fully collapse.

You can put almost infinitely much effort into optimization. When do you stop? Do you test every user-interaction takes less than 100 ms below which it can be considered good?

I agree that not all jobs are like that, but the comment I was replying to was talking about retail workers, factory workers and people who fill in the holes in roads, which do suffer from fatigue.

lock-free ring buffers still have locks for the case when they are full, so it would be interesting to see how the kernel behaves when you never read from the completion ring.
