It's basic economics: things that are hard to get are more valuable. Another factor is the ubiquity of music - it's in grocery stores, in advertisments, everywhere. I wish I could have the experience that people had before grama

100% agree, although I wonder what the Venn diagram of "heaps of empathy/natural empath" and "CEO of large company" looks like.

I would dearly love to see this list correlated with the percentage of the offended demographic who agree that it is harmful.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

There is some similarity but I can imagine that a list-based version of this would allow union/intersection and customization, etc.

I assume that you have snarky comments to spare for the company who legally put this option in his hands as well, is that right?

Nit-picking time - I'm struggling with this sentence construction: "in an effort to placate two ladies, placed each of them on two sides of his piano" Surely a better way to say this is "placed one of them on each side o

IMO Mastodon is unlikely to become the "new Twitter". It's just a different platform and will lead to different behavior, which is fine. Twitter will likely keep it's cultural cachet until it collapses (unlikely), or M

It seems a little unfair that people who hang out in hateful places get a better UX (ie no ads). If anything, they should generate ads for anti-hate groups and therapy providers and plaster the feed with them.

I wonder if there is a U-curve in the "code produced vs seniority" graph where once you get senior enough you have people under you who can deal with $immediate_situation for you?

I think your edit indicates the answer beautifully. It's a damn hard problem!

I'd say this is a solid portion of the reason. Ideally, we could talk about software in a completely neutral and dispassionate way without worrying about how the recipient will receive the information, or what the potential implicatio

Yes, we all know that the bigger the software creature's title is, the more lines of code the creature must leave behind. Jeff Dean is well known for changing hundreds of thousands of lines a day! he has a whole team of reviewers just

This is a great way to reduce the workforce to high-performing junior staff and people who like to build code castles. A better way to find high performers would be "send me an email summarizing the code that you've deleted and wh

Are you suggesting that he's pissing people off intentionally for the controversy?

Arguably, failing to factor human emotions into your leadership techniques does not qualify as smart behavior.

I've been having the same feeling about discord - this is the future for social media, or at least the social media I want: - Smaller streams, fewer people, more personal. - No great feed of everything. You go to a place to read about

Aha, so overpaying _was_ just part of a grand scheme to light a fire under the employees and the fanboys are right that he's playing 6d chess?

I guess, if you buy the premise that cash flow is problem number one and the company needs a significant pivot, then going into crunch-mode and trying to turn the ship as quickly as possible (at the cost of technical and, uh, sleep debt) is

Fair enough, I certainly don't claim to have full knowledge of what's at stake here.

I hope that the wheels stay on sufficiently to get an idea of where EM wants to take Twitter and find out what kind of value it can bring. Having said that, he really made it obvious to me as an eng that the severance is the option I would
