Depends on the project doesn’t it? Website building is pretty much commodity now, but even taking one step forward and designing scalable public APIs its going to require a different caliber developer.

I'll take that as a "no".

TPMs are almost universally fluff positions. The amount they make is absurd for what they do. I will die on this hill. PMs are often the same, although the position can have value if there's clear expectations and enough sales&#x2

It's not "after a few years", and plenty of people just fail completely at management. It's realistically the same "hack" as "jump around companies to get good raises" - i.e. companies will pay out t

> Very few engineers want to maintain relationships with customers, interview users to identify potential features, manage leadership, play politics for resource allocation, and so on. I’ve never met a PM that did any of that either ;)

Most firewalls and gateway routers already do. The issue is more for internet connected services, where backbone routing can’t do that for scale/redundancy routing reasons.

I think for people that care the biggest obstacles are when a company makes it very clear that you’re just wasting your time by caring. I had a previous company where I worked my butt off on a product for a year and got a bad review. The

It’s almost certainly not a legal takedown request, but this is always been an issue with the DMCA… it’s far too easy to make fraudulent requests, and there is almost never real punishment for them because they require financial harm, whic

Careful there because it’s more likely that the already more popular person also happens to be the person that gets the most donations.

You say that like they weren’t told to do this by the executive team.

No no, you see, it’s a lot of work having endless meetings about what wording to put into documents no one would care about if they didn’t exist.

Chrome was the first browser to stop letting plugins crash the whole thing, so yea it was a thing before for sure, but it was still way better than other things like ActiveX or Java applets…

Android did support it for a time though, it was a pretty good selling point in fact... but then google dropped it too :(

Like many things, it sounds good in theory which is why many try it... but in reality it often turns to shit because you end up with 4 quazi-managers all stepping over everyone else and constantly asking the team to do extra work (like gene

Because it’s not about the jobs, it’s about what salary people will settle for. If a family had to make X to live comfortable before, now you can do so with each of you making half that as long as it adds up to X. People shouldn’t settle f

Imho EM has become a lot more difficult because it has been split into Manager, PM, TPM, scrum master, and all kinds of other shit. It’s weird watching teams struggle so much because you have 3 or 4 people trying to do similar jobs and ste

To be fair, this is mostly a consequence of women entering the workforce. Not that that’s bad, but it’s an unintended consequence that companies were then able to convince workers to work for less because people could survive on it still.
