Totally agree. I have my personal stuff on one desk and the work stuff on another. When I turn one way it's all personal stuff and the other way is only work stuff. There is no overlap between personal and work devices and other equip

“ PDF is a fabulous format” I will never forgive the pain PDF caused me when I worked on a project to parse millions of PDF files from various sources. Just reconstructing paragraphs was a huge effort not even mentioning parsing tables. I t

It's not that simple. If you have hearing problems it can be quite difficult to be social no matter how hard you try.

I don't think there is such a thing as "mastering a skill ASAP". Achieving mastery of anything a little complex takes time.

The siloeing is driving me crazy. Everybody works in their own little box doing their own thing without any regard to how things fit together. Microservices, separate repos for some trivial all lead to enormous integration efforts. I like t

It’s the same in the US and most other countries. And you don’t want to “move fast and break things” with things that may kill people.

I don’t know about trains but in medical a switch to a newer system causes enormous effort to revalidate so it’s often easier to keep the old OS and software. Rewriting the software is probably not much of a problem but the paperwork arou

The huge company I work for has managed to combine the drawbacks of small companies with the drawbacks of large companies. We need a ton of approvals and reviews for even the slightest thing but the processes to actually get things done bar

"I find it hard to understand that the head of Mozilla foundation is paid nearly $7 million for the important job to run the foundation." That's pretty insane. I used to view Mozilla as "good guys" but it seems they

Exploratory testing by experienced testers is extremely valuable. I am a dev but have done some testing. I could break the systems in various ways because I had a pretty good feel for what can go wrong. Beginner users are also very good bec

People have no idea how good "mediocre" guys in top level sports really are. Each of these players would probably kill any amateur team playing alone.

A 25% chance to make it into the NBA below average tier is pretty good. Even at that level you make way more money than you can make in most careers. I knew a guy who made it to the NFL, rarely played and lost his contract after 3 years. He

I often think the once-a-week-no-meeting-days should be reversed to once-a-week-meeting-days. Put all status, retrospective, planning and other recurring meetings into this one day so people can actually work the rest of the week. During Co

We definitely need daily meetings to discuss this and find collaborative solutions :-) But seriously, is this a surprise to anybody?

"It is profitable because it what the consumer wants." My point is that they often manipulate consumers into wanting what's profitable.

“ Corporations are extensions of the desires of the average person” Not true. The people who own and manage corporations only follow the desires of the average person when it’s convenient and profitable for them. They also put in a lot of e

"I don't doubt his sincerity." You should doubt it. This guy knows exactly what's going on but chooses to lie blatantly for profit. Same applies to oil execs, tobacco execs, fast food industry execs, US health insurance

That would get resolved quickly if salaries were transparent. They are are already transparent for the employer so a functioning market would require transparency also for employees.

I don't think it's broken. It's intentional to push you to buy products that give Amazon the highest profit.

Maybe they need to spend even more to figure out how to show Adidas shoes when I search “Adidas shoes”. Seems that’s a really hard CS problem. Once they have that, maybe they can show products ordered by price when I select “Sort by price

This buffer evaporates very quickly in a bad job market as I learned in 2002 and 2003. I think the only "crazy" exit packages are when they throw dozens of millions after failed executives.
