Very well put. This is the work flow which has worked best for me over different teams. An opposite which I could accept is asking people to carefully rebase their drafts, but I see it as a higher effort with a bigger risk of screwing up, w

Maybe they test (with code or manually) different commits and then point out which one introduced the problem in the ticket system. Could be useful but parent mentions a megacorp, so maybe it's just some bureaucracy or ball-breaking.

I don't see this technique applied too often. I see more often: - reading the affected code - reproducing the problem step by step with a debugger Which I guess works for all kinds of problems and not just for regressions, therefore pe

Unless we're talking about different workflows, squashing works great. In my team, we merge squash our PRs, having a guideline that they should be a small increment. Here's what happrns: - when you checkout a commit, you are guara

Technically, licenses are not free/open source if they restrict usage. Some have created licenses against commercial or unethical uses but they are not widely used in software, as they open a can of worms - these restrictions are subje

It has been a very competitive market, so companies have to give something to employees. If it weren't, they would enjoy the spoilers and pay the minimum they could - given the amounts of layoffs, we may be going into that direction.

I think this is a next step we must demand after everyone gets on board with E2E messaging. Metadata is still data!

I contest both opinions: 1. More and more people care about this, eg journalists, politicians, etc. Apple has been talking about this a lot, although some being propaganda for messages, but their customers are already somewhat aware of priv

Regarding hierarchy, I have an anecdote about India. A manager told me that western teams are more likely to challenge a ticket than Indian teams, who hesitate to do that and are more likely to power through. His theory is that the culture

I remember reading a case study from their engineering blog about this a few years ago - I couldn't quickly find it but maybe it's still out there. It was some think about optimizing for read speed, because one write from a celebr

nitpick: git is enough to keep the history of old code, but it's not great at letting you find it.

It would be nice, but unfortunately it doesn't align with their goals - they want you to use github features, not git.

Companies are suing Mexico: if the justice system is as fast as my country, I'd make them go through the normal process, and have a verdict in 5 or 10 years.

I wonder about the numbers: are cash payments a major enabler in imoral activity? I guess they can make it slightly more difficult for a drug dealer to buy a car or house, but my intuition is that corruption and money laundering deal with m

Psyops? They can tweak the algorithm to try to push for certain topics. Not shove them down user throats, but rank them a bit higher a few times and see if it catches on.

A list of hashes instead of hosts would be even worse, as it the blocking would be the same, just with reduced transparency. Every time they would add new hashes, people would need to investigate which websites they correspond to. Quite evi

The truth exists, but often we cannot know it, ie incomplete information, biases, etc. Or sometimes you may be predicting the future where it absolutely doesn't exist yet - you plan a new policy to improve something, but you can never
