I'm curious if you know much about jobs doing this kind of thing. I've worked a ton with Python, and know a lot about using Cython to write extension modules, wrap C++ code, etc. I really want a job where I find performance bottle

The way it plays out with dietary issues is just one topic. I happen to be sensitive about it because I've experienced several companies treat me (and other non-meat-eating employees) pretty inconsiderately over it, and fail to address

I read the title and I think, "OK, FP's not the answer ... what's the problem it's not the answer to?" I think the problem is dysfunctional workplaces in general -- things like open plan office dogma, "full sta

You continue saying a lot of stuff that's just not relevant. No one's talking about diving into deep conversations about eating habits in salary discussions. I'm saying bringing up eating habits at all -- even just the slig

It's unfortunate to see that you rage-replied item by item, not bothering to read the overall context before firing off irrelevant commentary that was addressed later. Manager types definitely do systematically have a dehumanizing agen

Well, what we have received for our huge sum of money + stress + dealing with this abusive legal apparatus is that my very young nephew has not been physically alone with his biological father for several years, thus ensuring that he hasn&#

This hasn't been my experience, but I also don't think you're seeing everything I'm trying to say. For example, how should you handle it if the company tells you there will be vegan options at a lunch meeting and then th

I understand, but I guess I've just come to believe the only things that get funded, whether by VCs or by governments or by internal approval in an established company, are low-risk incremental variations on consumer bullshit, generall

Thank you. I am addicted to good management philosophy books. I think Peopleware also discusses a lot about this rare kind of manager. On a less serious note, I really hope that for Turn the Ship Around! they went on a multi-city lectur

I really do disagree with your premise. My experience in this issue has been expansive, even far outside of just the legal system. The organizations that conduct supervised visitation, for example, are basically hard-coded misogyny, and hav

I wonder how much counter-signalling there is on the part of the interviewees. They are going to be prone to say things that associate far-mode, positive ideals with them. Like, they won't say, "I found a lot of meaning that time

Even just what you suggest is going to raise a red flag for anyone in HR, without a doubt. A "team player" would eat the company-provided food (... or would just shut up about it ... <-- this really is how HR and managers ten

Are we as a community learning anything noteworthy about the particular composition of those approaches, e.g. the list of stuff at the bottom of your comment, from the contest winners? If yes, then why don't many, many participants sna

Not only that, but to me that entire rubric for the self-assessment of skill is extremely off-putting. It's also baffling to me that the salaries they peg against are salaries of start-ups and certain VC-backed companies. Why isn'

Do you explain the dollar value of the food prepared by the chefs to new hires, and offer to make up their compensation by that dollar value if the chef services are ever terminated in the future? I've worked at and interviewed with co

The $200K level is really, really not mythical in NY. Many software jobs at all kinds of companies, ranging from start-ups to pure tech firms to food service organizations to finance companies to advertising firms will pay a software deve

This is psychotic. For one, I intentionally did not use gender pronouns in my comment to avoid seeming like I was blaming someone in this sort of trope. Yet you inferred them anyway. Secondly, the child in question was unplanned, in a relat

With 4 years of experience, even if I rate myself as a 5 on self-assessed skill (I'm certainly not), the salary offered for New York is far, far below anything I'd consider, and significantly below even what other start-ups offer

I am a burnt out and long-term unemployed engineer who has had no luck on the job market. I've taken to writing a lot of poetry lately as a way to process my feelings and it has been very helpful. I actually recently read the book How

You seem unfamiliar with the long and extremely formal research and experimental evidence supporting the use of prediction markets. It might be interesting to read a more detailed popular account [0] and then dive from there into some of th

I'm not sure making more is expected. In my other comment I mentioned e.g. sports teams or quant trading as examples where even average performing subordinates can make more than their managers. But yes, the decoupling of manager pay (

In efficient markets, like sports teams, even average team members often make more than the manager (or coach). This also happens in some financial organizations that reward profit and loss on individual levels (it's very rare, and not

Exactly right. If allowed, they will happily torch the commons and work on how to secure their own comforts while others suffer. The only socially responsible way to handle it is with enforced regulations. Yes, of course that presents it&#x

I like David Deutsch's idea of an effective form of government too: how easy is it to eject the current one and try something new? Then, if we must be subordinate to the idea that we're just making small changes, aking to "th

Tolerance extends to the understanding of a culture and abstaining from deriding someone based solely on that culture. The joke, which reveals a deeper personal value judgement on behalf of the person telling it, speaks of a "good gay&
