“For example, a senior title at Big Tech typically expects more from an engineer than a small developer agency, a non-tech-first company, or a recently founded start-up does” This is simply not true. Seniors at FAANG type companies simply d

Ok but the person you are replying to literally just went with average to avoid rare geographic salaries. Finally in seattle a top electrician makes 100/hr or ~200k/year. A top developer with similar years of experience makes $500

I appreciate you engaging with me on this. You might enjoy a book called “The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium”

I think banning it is bad. If it turns out to be correct you lose so much trust in institutions (which is thin already as “experts” continue to be exposed as frauds, just look at Afghanistan) However, if it is false (most likely) then banni

I don’t think its a 50/50 split on climate change. I think the majority think it is happening. The disagreement is more on the confidence that this is something govt could ever address via policy and if the policy cure would be worse t

How do you distinguish between disinfo and being wrong? What if the “authorities” are wrong? Is it disinfo to say so? For example: Is suspecting a lab leak as the cause of Covid disinfo, misinfo, wrong or right? (We dont know yet a lot of s

I believe in absolute truth but that is increasingly unpopular in an increasingly relativist age. However, I don’t trust any broad society wide effort to censor anything. Even if it works well now and the deceiving evil people of today are

Censorship is bad. Once we start allowing it it only increases. Misinformation is subjective. There is nobody we can trust to be the arbiter of what is misinformation and what isn’t. Also the first attempts have failed terribly.

This article could have been 1/3rd as long and contained way more data. Overall, I agree that online ads and disinformation have been give a god like aura that is not deserved. As a percentage of views on platforms like facebook the am

This sounds like a combo of mild depression, burn out, and concrete/legitimate issues. I would try and disambiguate which of these is the driving vs contributing factor. Reductionist reasoning trends to nihilism for every job/acti

To be clear, I have done it both ways with a QA team and pure XP style TDD. Both projects were successful, the money is in the bank. Both projects had good steady velocity for years and AFAIK are still printing $10-100M/year. Maybe I j

Those must have been very trivial bugs with very cursory manual QA. No complex side effects or interdependencies. Could have done it in 30 then with TDD.

That sounds…inefficient. Push code, ping QA, they test find issues, ping you, you fix, ping QA…

Why is “amazing culture” always parroted by managers who are typically loud and extroverted and think it is amazing because they get to strut around and dash from conference room to conference room. If people dont want to go back then you b

I mean all the people trying to sell you methodologies and scrum masters and all that huey. The manifesto is just guidelines and tradeoff preferences. Its nothing special, its nothing new, its just concise and unfortunately marketable.

I think we would all want our own offices and some peace and quiet. Also the Agile industrial complex is a bunch of charlatans. Real agile is a good set of guidelines. Aside from that this article seems off the mark and self contradictory.

What do you think will happen when the chains beat out the smaller restaurants due to economies of scale? They will raise prices because there are no competitors and lower wages because there are no alternatives. They will collude. They wil

You realize wages based on supply and demand are very accurate at measuring exactly how much value to “society” a job brings? You may disagree but economic equilibrium in the price of a common good such as an agile coach is telling you exac

This is a bad answer even in the contrived context in which it is given. The better answer is along the lines of: Architecture patterns are abstract concepts whose implementation may vary. You can express an MVC Architecture without a datab

Monopoly claims need to show customer harm and an absence of alternatives. I don't think Twitter fits either definition as it has many competitors, it is free for users, and the advertisers are the customers and they have even more alt
