This comes across as incredibly salty. If the arguments are bad, explain why. Or don't.

* There is also a general understanding * Got it. So when it was asked, "how many know they're on the chopping block if they work remotely" and it was redefined to ask "how many know their chances for promotion might be

You're misinformed. Please stop spreading misinformation.

The Google equivalent of a chipping block in most cases is not getting promoted Do tell, given what you know about the Google promotion process, how a choice to work remotely would translate to a decreased likelihood to be promoted (and,

Google has never had a chopping block. And your speculations are wild. But hey, at least you have those two anecdotes.

I agree, but wow it's a sad indication of where we are that this is notable.

Neither Google nor Facebook cancelled anyone's talk in this case.

I was kind of playing in a flow state in PoE so it didn't need my full attention. That's not a flow state. That's autopilot.

attempting to paint the founders as ablist because they don't yet support captioning is both heartbreaking and absurd. One founder has a daughter who was born with a genetic defect This isn't a good point. You can have a disable

policy makers do need to be reminded of their duty to protect people even if said people don’t understand or don’t seem to care. What's the argument for the government to care so much about privacy, if people don't? I get why we

Even if that's true, those are exceptional examples. They're rare. So why should we care?

Then your beef is with the United States, not with Google.

You are conflating drug use with problematic drug use Is this like conflating speeding with problematic speeding? Some things are worth making illegal because of their potential effect on society. That said.. in what way did I conflate th

drug use is a victimless crime That's not remotely true. Use of certain drugs (such as heroin) leads to horrible expectations for children of addicts. These children can only be thought of as victims of heroin use. Now I'm not

The reason DHH mentioned for 360 reviews was that they didn't contain any real criticism because you're critiquing your co-workers (I'm paraphrasing This part stood out for me. This is a very simplistic view, and I would ex

Not defending the founders, they sound like tools. But it's not hypocritical to be political on your personal social media but apolitical at work.

The pyramid is a depiction of the fact that genocides can't happen without insensitive jokes. Of course it would be silly to read it as saying insensitive jokes necessarily lead to genocide. But why bring it into the conversation?? I

Manually refreshing them? How could such a process possibly be manual but not automatable? Does it involve turning a crank?

Meh. Nostalgia is a very strong emotion (so strong that I will pay a price for making this comment), but it's ultimately empty. It doesn't point to any global value, it's all personal aesthetic value. I feel sad that my child

What do you call "wisdom" that's passed from person to person, so everyone knows it, but it isn't actually true? A huge amount of Boost is nothing but headers. And it's very easy to use those header-only libraries a

Easily dealt with with a linter. C++ is not fundamentally a safe language. It's fundamentally a no-cost abstraction language. It's not a baffling design choice if you know C++.

I wouldn't hire someone without telling them plenty about where they will work. You don't have to guess what the workplace is like by decoding my questions. You are certainly welcome to, but the obvious danger is that you will get

Sorry, I was speaking in common parlance and assuming most readers would realize that I don't mean literally 0 turnover .

And then as a hiring manager I get the impression that this candidate doesn't understand hypotheticals, which is a big red flag. Happily, we will come to mutual agreement on whether you proceed.

it's advantageous to use those things you listed because that's what the market can provide talent-wise More silliness. Pay developers enough so that they'll stick around. If they stick around, then you don't need to h
