We need more interesting tools, as you said. As long as the horizon of innovation remains on "something that generates good old code" I'm not very excited about the future. Copilot is an amazing tool, sometimes gimmicky, but

Now we are discussing subjectivities and it makes no sense continuing the discussion IMHO. At some point I also romaticized the idea of being on the beach enjoying myself when the pager goes off. So I jump into a terminal, get the adrenalin

That's exactly what the company should have done in the first place. The 1.5x is to disincentivize that. A lot of industries (mostly unionized tbf) have it.

No, not literally. Not everywhere. Secondaries are not your primaries. Secondaries are not supposed to be sitting there waiting for your call to cover them. That's not how escalation works.

What do you mean by lesser-than-normal-work-time inconvenience? Congratulations if you don't feel the inconvenience of pausing everything waiting for a call. For me that's more inconvenient than predictable 9to5 duties.

What is the "open" web in this context? Does it need to be saved? From what? A promising technology would do it?

Do you still get unlimited PTO like the rest of Salesforce? What about the monthly Friday off the company gets since the beginning of the pandemic?

Even on the Intel i9 MBP 16" having a call is a huge compute task that will unleash the fans. Regardless of Zoom, Meet or whatever videoconferencing I use.

Apache moves projects to the "attic" regularly. It's a well known process but requires the project community to be really dead. Which is not the case of OpenOffice just yet. See https://attic.apache.org/

Yes, you can. Web IDEs are usually some sort of containerized linux environment with a text editor and a terminal. All accessible in the browser. What kind of lack of control are you thinking of?

I'm more concerned with cars taking certain route to pass by a restaurant that is paying for advertisement. But I can understand how the whole covid narrative gave some pople an excuse to feel opressed.

Even when I said "we are all doing it" you choose to assume I was too firstworldly to have an opinion. Trust me, I know very well how we Argentinians use crypto. The country monetary policy is a mess and we don't like to pay
