I'm curious though - if I'm a skilled person who wants to find "a place worth working for" how would I do that? Especially in a remote work world? Most of the places I've worked over the years are smaller and more n

Sure, but that's a classic tragedy of the commons. I've been applying selectively to some places over time, and have had less than 10% even send me a rejection letter. As an applicant, if I actually needed a job, I can't affo

Sure, but if it's a bad fit, it's still tied to you. Your team or some other team is now blaming you for their bad hire and you don't get the money.

I've been curious about that. Any time I ask about it, a lot of Arch folks come out to explain why Manjaro is terrible and makes all kinds of bad choices similar to the ones TFA is about. How much of that is real vs. overblown purism a

Installation when you're not working from a completely bare hard drive seems to stymie so many Linux distros. I keep finding myself back on Ubuntu and Fedora because they seem to be the only two that put any effort at all into making s

I always hear this and really want to jump in, and then I wasted a full week trying to get Arch to dual-boot on my Framework laptop and just couldn't get it to work. The Arch wiki installation instructions regularly were out of date wi

I think it's more of a thing internationally? I could be wrong, but I definitely hear more of a talk of travel agents in europe.

I'm literally in thee process of trying to do this right now and have gotteen responses from their support within an hour or two, including late at night. Maybe stuff got better, but 2FA Recovery seems to not be as bad as you're s

Yea, the hills and water really mess up public transit routes in Seattle, making it a lot harder to get around by bus in any sort of efficient timeline, especially around the Queen Anne and Beacon Hill areas.

I'm not sure that tracks? When I've visited Seattle with friends, I walk to almost everything, even in gloomy weather. I don't see how "living outdoors" requires a car - if anything, driving everywhere is the the op

I generally agree, but it also does feel like just an extension of dogfooding. If you work for a company that has a product that solves a certain business need, it generally makes sense that you wouldn't hire a different company to sol

They didn't say they'd never work somewhere with MS tools, just that that was part of the reason for leaving. I totally get it. If your employer is telling you a major part of your job is communication and giving you bad communica

I mean, it does instill some fear though. Knowing that a lot of companies are going around laying off 5-10% of their folks means I'm a lot less confident I can get a new job if I'm laid off or quit my job. Which means I'm goi

That makes sense - if you learn words and phrases from their common use vs. from instruction, you're more likely to know both the literal and colloquial version of the words. That said, taking everything as textbook literal isn't

I mean, I definitely end a fair number of days thinking "I may quit" at various points in my career. I'm happy for the ability to do that. I'm not arguing that layoffs don't suck for those involved, but if offered a

But isn't this discussion literally about the idiomatic concepts involved? The whole argument of semantics is a "literally vs. figuratively" discussion. Workers were "used" in the way I use a tool to do a job, but p

And that doesn't apply to ICs? I've worked with plenty of ICs just trying to show they "led a project" to make Staff or higher and did next to nothing to "multiply" any amount of effort from any other IC.

The problem is that then it tends to become a sort of charity work. I've had multiple managers who essentially felt like they were burnout martyring themselves into serious problems in their life to try to support my team. I've be

Not exactly, but the sort of "I don't have to outrun the bear" mantra only works if the bear is going to stop at the first person. I'm certainly not saying to give up, but you need to prepare for things to get worse whet

Yea, the government is worried about you staging a riot or attack. Disney doesn't really have that risk profile.

But that assumes that the bad consequences of these things will only fall on those who participated in bringing them about. I think of the data/surveillance system as being similar to global warming. Sure, it's good if I try to be

Sure, but asking me to self-report that information is a lot different than requiring proof of it.

It's fine to prefer people give away things, especially in OSS communities - I'd prefer free stuff too, but I don't feel like it's unreasonable to try to charge for it any more than it's unreasonable to ask for dona

Sure, and plenty of constitutional rights have exceptions with balancing tests. You can't say literally anything under the first amendment, you can't own literally anything that could be used as "arms" under the second,

That makes sense and generally tracks, but I guess I'm not sure I feel like it's 100% an issue, especially in a civil trial like this. Plus, in this case, this isn't the accuser/witness, this is the defense, right? Reddi

I was under the impression we often allowed anonymous testimony in courts for criminal trials, often to protect the identity of the witness and avoid the opportunity for them to be coerced or intimidated. I imagine often the situation is th

Yea, I've never really understood that perspective. It's something I'd be curious about - maybe ask if they did something technical during it to stay sharp if it's a recent gap, but I don't see it as any more of a b

I'd guess that some of that is also that the majority of the "Any developer will do" companies are the ones who just laid off a ton of people because they had too many from strong hiring in the last couple years. We're l
