The team voted, but they don't have real authority here. Could they vote to not make the decision? Could they vote to depose the manager and replace them with another teammate? Your real problem is that the manager might be incompetent

This is not comparable to crippling the efficiency of the US tax system for hundreds of millions of people in order to fluff corporate profits.

Making the world worse so you can benefit is *evil*. It's evil when individuals do it, and it's evil when corporations do it. It doesn't matter that a certain choice is better for the corporation. It's still immoral for

This approach doesn't have any relationship to democracy that I can see. It is very common to delegate organizational work. But it only works if the manager exercises their competence to check and guide the work.

Yeah, the current political system and news organizations would absolutely punish Biden for taking the blame on inflation, so the current "it's someone else's fault and also I am fixing it" is just what you get. ...thoug

As a software engineer in the industry, what problems am I hoping academic research could investigate. Compilers that work like devs do. Almost every time I compile, the code is almost exactly the same, but the compiler forgets everything a

I prefer to think of it as either unmet or unsurfaced demand. It's easier to think about the two places where "induced demand" shows up in arguments: traffic and housing. For traffic and housing there's tons of people wh

In my family, both doctors and random googling have a similar batting average for certain conditions. Some day you will have a challenging health condition and a mediocre doctor. When that happens, I hope you do not feel overly embarrassed

You are an engineer and not a public health researcher. You are not qualified to give advice on whether consulting a doctor is the right course of action.

Think of the leetcode site as a set of practice problems. If you're struggling to solve a problem, then that shows what you should study to become better at leetcode. In your case, maybe the O(n) algorithm is a pattern that's broa

...according to math invented by a manager with an interest in pretending that their case makes sense. Just jiggle the projection of how many people would cancel, and whalla!! You can justify anything.

People at the company want to believe that the exit interview is a good way to catch and fix retention issues. The problem is that unless you have an engaged manager giving the interview, then nothing will change... And if you did have an e

This list of suggestions matches my experience of what works too. Management doesn't really start to care about things until there is a large percentage of underlings who care. Raising the issue privately with calm but direct language

Yeah, but isn't there a CPU cost to having to run through your code on every frame?

"offended me" is a really different thing than "woke me up and messed up my lungs." If my comment woke you up last night, then I apologize for making it.

Why do you feel entitled to idle your vehicle where it's bothering dozens of people? It sounds a lot like you have a problem with your vehicle and should deal with it.

There is a difference between having a large impact on the company's product and it's overall success versus getting properly compensated for your efforts. It's always possible to try to do great work and to push the company

I've heard the "it's a conspiracy to raise prices!!" point of view too. It's a very simplistic way to think about the inflation, and I wish there were a little more critical thinking around it. However, some of the

Typically your pay reflects the company outbidding other offers. If you are able to work locally for large tech companies (in SF or NYC), then you get higher offers, which even the remote companies need to outbid.

There's a long history of other countries deciding that your country still owes them money, and that they're entitled to collect. In Mexico, for example, Benito Juarez's faction won a civil war, and then refused to pay the de
