How about just take that same time value and give them the equivalent time off work? That will do a lot more for their mental health than “therapy.”

Every day not in the office is a day not wasting time.

It seems to mostly be driven by managers who are not part of the productive class and therefore can’t perceive the hit to productivity and WLB the office incurs. If you spend your entire day in pointless meetings anyway, then yes, maximizin

Have you ever tried hiring these people? At FAANG scale? Good luck …

You really can’t go wrong between those options. Anyone who is questioning you must be nuts.

That’s a solution without a buyer in a market that’s about control and indoctrination, or childcare at best. But not education.

Level - how so? I’m on the extroverted side of an introverted team/industry. I love WFH because of its obvious superiority. Yet it seems to me it is more isolating of more introverted colleagues. It is a lot easier for them to take a b

It’ll make more sense when you start thinking of the economics profession as a priesthood.

People want FAANG talent at half-FAANG wages, or worse.

One of the great questions of the 2020s is - why are they pushing the bugs? Cui bono?
71.
by rajacombinator 5y ago
Don’t push it. Just pick something else to focus your spare time on (fitness, video games, cooking, whatever). Eventually you’ll get inspired again.

Like cosmic ray bitflips, I’ll believe it when I can see it.

Yea, looks like the course catalog, not curriculum.

Where do you think VCs get their ideas from?

Have you run into problems where it hinders team scaling by creating too much cross-team friction?

Yea this sounds a lot like my current situation. Microservices sounded good, a lot were built over time, now no one wants to understand or own them so they’re just getting punted around aimlessly.

Big fan of the two you mentioned. A couple more to add would be: - Use black to format your code. No exceptions. - Very modular code. - Tests, although this costs time of course. Focus on meaningful rather than trivial ones if needed. - Wri

Very easy just start interviewing. Grind leet if you want to be serious about it.

So what’s the even moneyline on Google projects like this? 9 months?

It sounds like the tax software you used screwed something up and did not account for your cost basis correctly. I would just pay an accountant who has experience with crypto trades to file it for you properly. The IRS is pretty reasonable

Absolutely, but it’s one of those first world problems that I wouldn’t mind having!

It's an intractable problem. Even sophisticated managers who are not experts will propose absolute crackpot ideas. Just show them some clips of Watson and AlphaGo then try to extract as much resources as you can.

Hard for me to see what the profit in that is, and China seems to like profits.

Same as any negotiation. Have an alternative, threaten to walk.

Because everything I’ve read indicates that scenario is not in fact plausible. I’m wondering what the more likely but potentially equivalent alternatives are.

Try looking harder? Basically every webserver framework comes with server side rendering out of the box and as de facto.
