Add a filter for team size? That way you're not looking at teams that are bigger than you can afford.

Why would you go this route instead of hiring, say, an agency or something to do the initial work for you?

If you want a Meritocracy, then Best does need an objective definition. Otherwise it's just a popularity contest.
214.
by s73ver 9y ago
Then define "Best". The problem is, you can't come up with an objective metric for it.

I fail to see that you have had this discussion in good faith. I believe you are holding her to a higher standard than you would have someone else. She said EXACTLY what to change. She was not rude about it. To try and nitpick that away lea

Is it? The disabled are part of society, too.

This isn’t the first time sexism has reared its head at Github, though.

She wasn’t saying they should be dismissed because they were made by men. She was pointing out that they were extremely nit picky, and those who did so were men. And that her male colleagues had nowhere near that amount of nit pickiness on

She exactly said what was right. She said EXACTLY what to do. There was absolutely no guesswork involved. She said that you should ask if one is transgender as a separate question. How is that not explicit?
220.
by s73ver 9y ago
She absolutely did. She said specifically that it should be a separate question. At some point, I have to wonder whether or not the people who are complaining about these easily debunked things are discussing the topic in good faith.

So on a survey meant to gather data on the participation rates of marginalized people in Open Source communities, you feel it would be appropriate to publish a question which would be deemed as troublesome or even offensive to members of th

But... she didn’t. She pointed out that the question was a bad one, and that the question itself (not the writer of the question, just the question) was transphobic. Further, she provided the straightforward, no none sense feedback that mos

by s73ver 9y ago
I don’t think anyone, including the author, thought that the intention of the question was to be transphobic. That doesn’t mean it’s not a transphobic question, though. Especially when the point of the survey was to gauge engagement in Open

And I don’t. I know they aren’t talking about me. Because I don’t do those things.

All the tweets are out there to read. And that whole, “I’ve got an investigation going, but I’m not going to actually say what it revealed” thing is DIRECTLY out of Trump’s playbook. Like, that’s exactly what he did with Comey. And yeah, if

“Never mind the fact that Altman is openly gay and harbors a fervent dislike of Trump. But hey—when your job involves passing off third-rate trash as journalism, then I suppose lying by omission to suit an agenda is simply par for the cours

It's one of those things where it depends on what topic. He's probably all for marriage equality, because it doesn't affect him. Talk about his incubator, and suddenly he's Donald Trump. It's similar to a number of

I doubt the code is that valuable, but if you don't trust your employees to not do that (seriously, nearly every other company trusts their engineers at least that much), then why did you hire them in the first place?

I would think that using a bt keyboard would be an absolute requirement if you were planning on doing a lot of coding on a tablet.

We're not talking about an API. We're talking about an entire app. That kind of thing is unworkable, especially for small teams. You're exponentially increasing the number of combinations that have to be tested together. &quo

The state of California has the common sense to not allow you to execute someone just because you believe they may be trespassing.

But they're not shaming us. I don't feel shamed at all by the coverage. I'm not one of the people they're talking about; I know I'm not, so I don't feel upset by the coverage.

At the same time, sweeping the problem under the rug and pretending it doesn't happen isn't going to fix anything either. At least with this approach, those in charge are pressured to do something about it.

I think a big part of that is this mistaken idea that, if you duplicate a single line of code, you've done a terrible, terrible thing. Sandi Metz did a pretty good talk about this, basically saying we need to think more before we abstr

"Also – since these are just opinions, they are worth equally much." Wrong. Not all opinions are worth the same. An opinion that runs contrary to established case law, for instance, is worth almost nothing. "This isn't t

Murder? No, that is too far. But, beat the crap out of him a couple times, and I'm sure he'll realize that gate is a bad idea.

How can the jurisdiction justify enforcing the law against anyone else if they're not willing to enforce it here?

by s73ver 9y ago
Not everyone has the luxury to do that. There are many places where there just aren't that many employers, and the person may not be able to move.

Ideally nothing, but I’m sure he tries to harass them.
