No didn't mean to imply that, but tech companies are looking for some unicorn of young with a ton of relevant experience. Young is because ... they can pay them less. My point is they have someone in mind for these "senior" p

Most people working at companies, especially in leadership positions, are entirely focused on their career. I've seen this multiple times. At my last company tech leadership was dumb enough to "say the quiet thing" and got in

They want senior+ who are <35yo, but then when they interview the 35yo for a senior position, they give them an offer for a non-senior role so they can pay them less.

They knew how the product worked (they used the product) they just did not interact with devs - so they didn't really get the implementation. Their only opinions there were formed from leadership who was very biased with what they want

If you want a figma, I'd prefer if you worked with a dev before making it, then also worked with them after making it, to get on the same page. Creating a design out of whole cloth and handing it over to a dev, with minimal interaction

Yeah, and most of the maintainers have largely quit now because of abuse from John Buckman. I think Mimoja contributes occasionally but not in a large capacity.

Wait, your product people talk to devs? /s (at my previous company they did not ... lol!)

I agree with these points. Someone mentioned the PPT method - and I like it for your reasons! It's like a wireframe.

by roflyear 3y ago
I don't think it's a trust thing, but yes - I think leadership not knowing what they want is a big part of it.

I like the PPT - it is more like a wireframe! Yes, similar to the photoshop days. I forgot all about those. Has been almost 10yr since I had that happen! PPT doesn't bother me because it's very "what we need" not "h

Has anyone else worked with teams where their entire idea of "product" was to create 100s of designs in Figma, and then just hand them to developers? What started this mentality?

Decent proved that they can't do a good job at software and don't really have a vision or intention to do well. The owner's proposed "fix" for TCL is a rewrite using "vanilla javascript" using little or no

I didn't say it wasn't obvious in ALL CASES. And even in those cases there are language and communication issues that make it not obvious. Someone who doesn't speak English for example may use a tone that comes across as infl

Technically correct, but can be applied to a lot of things that were technically correct: - Land was the Lord's to do with as they pleased - Slaves were the owner's to do with as they pleased etc.. if the wealth is gathered throug

Right. But there's a difference between that thing and why it was downvoted. It could have been downvoted because it is factually incorrect, which means you should be careful about posting incorrect information. It could have been down

Correct, but if they are there this isn't a problem, so if it's a problem I'm figuring they aren't there ...

by roflyear 3y ago
Is that "why" though?
498.
by roflyear 3y ago
There's big problems with both downvoting and flagging: you don't know WHY people are doing it. Without that, you can't correct behavior.

HN has a problem that it rejects "shaming" in the community. I think you can shame people in a way that isn't completely abusive, and even instructive. Shame exists for a real reason in communities - but it only works if the

True, absolutely, but if you add type hints before you refactor, it isn't too bad.

No, I don't think so... > Same in Flask and FastAPI. Development is so quick that I literally don't feel like coding. Haha, isn't this good? I mean, it's not going to do hard stuff for you. It's good for the bori

What benefit would this give Google?

I can't imagine it's a mutual notice period?? that's the only type of notice req. that I'm aware of.

It's true: some people like Docker for Python, some like venv, some like conda... some lose it entirely and install everything locally! (acting like I haven't done this at least once!)

Well, I apologize. Poorly phrased.

The funniest thing that I saw was someone posting a long diatribe on one of these threads basically saying "don't do this, Reddit is the only free speech the internet has left!!!" And totally missing the point that protesting

I always found that reddit was a really poor place for a community. Discord even seems better for the "community" bit. Reddit is okay for discovery.

by roflyear 3y ago
It's because reddit is an aggregator - by definition that is centralized.

That's great!

Their webhook doesn't send the full body? I'm sure you at least get the data if not the exact data sent...
