This reminds me of the "Every dev should be senior" mindset that is all too common in this industry. I don't see how supposing every devOps specialist is replaceable by average engineers is a real solution.

Lots of theory here but surely there's some solid science that can address these ideas?

I think you answered your own questions. Abuse of power isn't separate from a rational threat.

Absurdly oversimplified.

Skills and work ethic are learned behaviors. You're technically correct that those things can help you rise above, but you're missing the point that environment is the key factor.

"Family" or "religious" pressure is fucking pathetic. We're supposed to be talking about adults here, why don't you change his diapers while you're at it? If family or community is such a strong force in o

What an arbitrary career choice. If you'd avoid a job due to politics, you'd probably leave a job due to politics. Maybe you think you're rising above public opinion concerns to polish some kind of sycophantic business minds

I really don't care if there's a mindless consensus against the ethically sound perspective, that proves nothing.

Being a hypocrite about paywalls after the company is re-structured is related to this somehow?

A good CEO is the most public figure of the company, under constant media scrutiny. If you think that's unfair or that the public shouldn't care about public figures, that high horse will only take you as far as hand waving theory

The Hypocrisy of Some Blogger Summary: The co-founder of OKCupid made a donation to a homophobic senator in 2004. There's a lot wrong with this "scandalous" revelation. Do we have any direct word on Sam Yagan's change

Spam filtering in Gmail is a killer feature, now as much as when it first appeared. These rants always skip that detail, the primary reason I stick with gmail.

You can ask literally any time, but unless you have a real reason it's a waste of time. A good reason would be an increase in responsibility. Otherwise wait for your performance review. If you don't get one, ask for it.

If you don't see the problem with IP hoarding by non-artists you're either a shill or naive.

That sounds like the old chestnut of blaming pirates for the fade of the album in the music industry. We don't need to invent reasons, the death of physical retail is enough to drastically change the landscape. I'd say the new pr

"Saga" is far too broad, and they have no fair claim on that.

Glass and bluetooth have the same problem, they are peripheral, accessory devices. That's what makes them uncool, they're unnecessary. Maybe someday glass will cut the rope of being paired with a phone, but not anytime soon.

Just look around at people wearing headphones right now. Have attitudes really changed? As a technologist, do you see someone with headphones and think "progressive"? Of course not, you meerly ignore it unless there's a pr

Well it was free, but the killer feature for me was media handeling.. it would take just about anything you threw at it and form it into a blog post. Sound file? It would upload to soundcloud and drop the player right in your page. Video

That's bordering on misleading in my opinion. "Lasting impact" that can't stand up for itself, needs to generate a little confusion first.

You mean the PS3 and 360 combined eventually caught up. The stated strategy of innovative hardware is a hit-maker, the Wii nailed it. If it's a fluke, the DS wouldn't be where it is today. There is a history of intent and delive
