I could say the same thing about webapps and mental work.

I don't need to see a book to get an idea of it's contents. I do need to lay on a couch to see if it's something I'd feel like taking a nap on.

"they have tons of sales people making handsome commissions" Isn't that pretty much the only pay these people get, though?

Well, it can indicate what the materials are, like if it's solid wood or not. It can't really indicate how it's put together.

Not really. All it would do is increase costs on those least able to afford it.

I've probably read it, but I doubt I'll have memorized it enough to regurgitate it back. And usually it's just BS marketing fluff.

Why? Why on earth would wanting to know about the place where you're going to spend the majority of your day cause you to seem "entitled"?

No, I think this is just them trying to cozy up to Trump supporters. Who never had an issue with the reporter's politics, but the fact that they were reporting much of that stuff in the first place. Same with the NFL. They got bullied

Maybe for your company, but like, for Amazon, when all the bad stuff really came out, one thing that people always said was, "It depends on what team you're on." Do I really want to take the chance that I might end up on one

I think the same thing could be said of those who refuse to follow the coding standards.

I think that's also a red flag. Do I really want to essentially play roulette with hoping I find the one good team, or don't land on the one bad team?

How reliable is that? I mean, how honestly would you answer such a thing?

"You can bring your dog, I think" This kind of thing is generally a yes/no type of thing. "There's a parking lot" Wow, this company is reaching for the stars there! (Note: I don't know where the company is

"and the BS positive ones like 'it's a challenging place to work, the people posting negative reviews are used to workplaces where they need less initiative blah blah blah." Nothing gets my goat more than this kind of th

And if I didn't have the money to buy that stock? Also, the Walton kids most assuredly got something for nothing.

I never, ever once implied anything of the sort.

"Usually, as soon as you get through the first interview, your papers won't matter much" Unfortunately, getting that first interview can highly depend on those papers.

Your employer's rights are very much the issue.

A car is a necessity in most of America for getting around. Most people likely do not have a spare $1000 laying around. And knowing what to invest in is another can of worms in itself. And depending on who you're talking to, having a s

That too. Everyone would benefit!

And if I was a fetus in the early 80s? Or if I got sick and needed to sell that stock early to pay for treatment? Your point still is predicated on the "already having money" part.

Given all the stuff that's happening lately with people like Susan Fowler, a whole lot of developers could have benefitted from more of those. Of course, that's completely ignoring that there is far, far, far more to "liberal

Yeah, but there's no certificate. And, despite what everyone wants to believe, most employers still want that certificate or degree. They're not gonna accept "I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube" as an alternative.

But is Google doing that? And does it have to be Google?

Why do they need to continue growing? They're already what, 80% of online ads?

Well, it's more than just pure salary. I'm sure if they changed things so that one did not have to work crazy hours while there, they could get away with paying less.

Neither are these companies getting lots of cheap labor and keeping the difference for themselves and their shareholders. And, more importantly, why should I care if it's an "efficient allocation of resources" when the altern

"but when you say the solution "isn't to clamp down on the supply" i lose the thread of your argument." I've not seen an example of this. And I do not consider being a member of the union to be clamping down.

You're forgetting the part about having enough money to make meaningful investments.
