Down leveling is a pretty common strategy larger companies use to retain engineers.

I feel like this comment is emblematic of a dramatic misunderstanding of blameless post mortems. They're pretty simple; systems that fail can be attributed to teams, practices, systems of understanding, etc which is diametrically oppos

When Lina took over she wiped her series of interviews, thought pieces, etc from the internet almost over night (I've followed her since she was a fellow). Her long form writing and podcast interviews are incredible. She knows this pro

I'm also in Oregon, specifically Portland. DMARCs for fiber are largely shared by providers which is why you can have multiple providers in a given area. That way they don't take up extra pole space and the city can pay a single p

That building is made of steel with a stone and mortar facade . Facade is not structural. You can tell what side of the building absorbed the blast because that side is missing and likely melted. Structural stone is carved out of large sla

I've read this style of comment a lot lately. I'm an amateur wood worker, carpenter, and occasional framer; to call a wood structure toothpicks is a bit misleading. Houses are primarily composed of "sticks" aka 2x4s that

A startup that I worked at that worked on municipal water infrastructure often had to sell to rural areas first because they didn't have a rollout of complex existing systems to decouple and migrate. I suspect that's analogous to

There's two curious things happening at once that are not often talked about together: there are RTO mandates and tech companies are also dropping stock compensation without a replacement. Whether that lends credence to the authors the

You're right, order of magnitude wasn't the right choice of words. They're 3-4x what they should be, and RealPage is responsible for a sizeable portion on its own, which is saying something.

Competitive markets keep things within a tolerance, imo. If the average is $4.10 then you can expect the price to vary up and down by some amount depending on location and other things provided. What RealPage does is distinct because it ass

By now I know three major languages: Go, Python, and Typescript. I know tradeoffs at-a-glance, I deeply understand the syntax and its various forms, the full array of tooling and what they do, and lastly (but maybe most importantly) I can

Before there was GitHub there was Sourceforge. Sourceforge supported several different protocols and git still won. Gits internals can be confusing at first, but once you understand them there's really nothing you can't do. Being

I couldn't disagree more. The tooling that is Kubernetes was written by SWEs in ops roles and there's many more examples like that. Much of the CNCF donated tooling wouldn't exist without SWEs in ops roles.

Folks here are bleeding over from the post on community being a contributing factor. Ezra Klein has pointed at device access, but I'd like to take Ezra's theory one step further: hope. Conservatives culturally live in a mind castl

Somewhat of a cynical take, but a lot of programs called DevOps and SRE are actually the same old ops people armed with some scripts and better BI tooling. It's rare to find definitional SWEs in these spaces and when you do you should

por que no los dos? The whole shabang is a big, abrupt departure from how we enforce traffic laws. Normally you had the option to face your accuser, there was room for interpretation and discernment, and the law was sufficiently nuanced.

I would suggest you experience the process. Go run an automated red light and see how it works, all the way up to trying to appeal before you boldly claim the process works and is fair. There is now usually a police officer in the mix, but

Portland is designed in this way. Unforunately, busses, cycling, walking, and trains are also at competition with each other in such a way that they can encourage car travel. Safety of all of those is also another relevant subject.

The best way I can describe the courts setup around automated red light cameras is as a kangaroo court. They have very little oversight, the owner of the vehicle gets ticketed regardless of the driver, and the fines are fairly high (dependi
