I agree with you in general. I just don't think a person 6 months out of college can effectively do what you describe. When I was six months into the job I certainly didn't know how the org functioned, nor did I have any political

I don't think being led / managed by someone younger is a big deal, but this is a weird story. The author was just 6 months into his first job then made a leader of three much more experienced employees. That makes me think someon

You made too many assumptions about me. I'm not at the top. I'm not even from the US.

Yes. I'm at least half serious. 1. The system is unfair in the first place -- Indian's quota is not in proportion to their population. 2. The bill tries to flush the queue, that leads to: 2.1 The perpetuation o

This is such a terrible "fix". “For the next 10 years, more than 90 percent of the employment-based green card will go to citizens of one country” This is so unfair to citizens of other countries. Don't get me wrong, I have n

Right. So it is a world in which everyone is for themselves. Companies shouldn't blame employees having no loyality then. Having survived a few rounds of layoffs and saw colleagues let go, I said to myself "On a scale of 0 to 10,

This comment articulated my thought so well. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who would react like that. :-) The industry is playing a silly game.

The act sent out two messages to me. 1. They have low-balled me before, they will do it again. 2. They don't pay based on how much value I generate but as little as they can to prevent me from moving. Royality is a two way street. Whil

> he was one of those people making easy SV money Yet what I see most of the time is that organizations exploit employees' passion. The more you like your job, the less likely you will leave, so why bother paying you more? I had a m

So? What is the significance of one single event? Looking at that site it is not that uncommon. Did this event catch your attention simply because it had the right keywords (US Dept of Energy and China)? MIT hijacked someone's route?

"A person familiar with the analysis told Reuters it had been conducted by global firm Nardello & Co and that customers could ask for more detail on that company’s findings." So I guess yes you can bypass Super Micro if you&#x

The context of the NYT article is that bad news in Chinese media is censored. GP already said "the kind of ...", which was not about a specific piece or a specific link, so it would be natural for me to interpret GP's comment

Open source project with 2 PMs? That sounds very weird to me. In my mind that open source projects should be driven by community.

zinc.rc is certainly interesting. Thanks for sharing!

As a C programmer who fiddles with low level stuff I wonder why people get exciting about such trivial thing. Don't get me wrong. Rust is an interesting language. The thing described in this post is well within its capability, i.e. IMO

I just want to point out accepting pull requests for signatures is a bad idea -- someone is going to lose the race and rebase over and over if unlucky, assuming many people are going to sign this. :-)

by notabot 11y ago
I myself don't really see any motive of doing that. It is administrative burden (maintaining the service that bridge API and existing system, managing GitHub accounts / tokens). Compare that to the number / quality of pull re

My company pays me to work on a fairly old-school free software project and we run our own git service. Our workflow is email based so we won't ever consider switching to GitHub. That said, we do sometimes consider setting up an offici

Wow, this is unbelievable. More than two hours have passed and the page is still live. Someone even fixed the typo, which is even more insulting.

Please define "properly written" then we can discuss who is going to fund it.

This is not the first time they rant about this sort of things. Of course if they can't stand the code quality of Xen they are always welcome to switch to KVM, virtualbox, bhyve or whatever open source hypervisor they think has the bes
