As the father of an autism-spectrum daughter, I find your insights very enlightening.

What are the SJ issues? Nothing really seemed agenda-driven to me other than the anecdote of Leigh and her family's insistence that she only have female caretakers. In the given context of safety and a request for only female caretaker

I never considered the first impression aspect of print statement vs print function. I feel that simplicity is a driving factor in python's 'virality' from one programmer to the next, and in that context your case is very com

When I'm an interviewee I do the same thing. Opportunities to get interview feedback are already scarce, best to maximize them with questions like this. When I'm interviewing, I always do a portion at the end to tell them at least

Not sure why you are downvoted and not parent comment; both make the unsubstantiated claim their position is rational and another position is not.

If QA or design doesn't work, you still hit sprint goals and have non-disastrous sprint demoes? I would say there's a more universal difficulty of understanding the productivity of jobs different from our own. Surely a design or Q

Add to that how poor the feedback mechanisms are; by the time a parent sees a child become an adult it may be too late to apply that learning to another child. Child-rearing is a hard problem.

Isn't the larger point here that these larger units solve micromanagement problems without impacting the finished product? If not, then why stop at hours? Why not bill by the minute or second? The answer to why hours are superior to mi

This, I too feel, is the exact story of my childhood. Cut class and ace the tests. It worked perfectly until it suddenly stopped working at all; when real life began.

Is it fair to assume that time, code, effort, and complexity would be some degree of cheaper? May very well be more expensive. Language choice isn't a silver bullet.

Maybe for Pinterest, a sum of diversity is greater than a sum of talent. The possibility of that being true is certainly unsettling for me because I've always assumed that hiring by merit is intrinsically superior to hiring by quota.

Exactly. Often in BigCorp type places bugs are classified as deviations from requirements. If this poor design was the requirement, then any objections that may have arisen would've probably been classified as suggestions instead of bu

How is that not an equally arbitrary explanation?

I don't feel like your 2015 phrasing captures the essence of the announcement. The announcement says less that free speech didn't work and more that free speech was never a goal. That's why the contrast between the quotes is

Exactly. Usually a first approach at speeding up a loop is to just make it a list comprehension. I feel it's more pythonic to optimize for readability first and performance as needed; is the author upset he didn't get both at the

That's a great idea. I'd like to see that where I live.

I wish I could find a link, but I recall years ago an interview on NPR with an architect that designed some building in LA (for paying parking tickets or something). Anyway, during the interview he accidentally admitted to not actually cari

As a QA Engineer, I had to create an account to reply to this. Where are these people saying "the ideal is all the things all the time, we're the gatekeepers,"? If anyone knows the limitation of QA, it's the people of QA
