It's not necessarily my job, but in many cases, there's still a good chance that I'm going to be the one yelled at, or have to deal with the consequences (having to work late nights to put out the fires caused by those decisi

It very well might be. But there's also something better. And I'd prefer to use the better option.

I disagree. Saying that the results are shitty is pretty on point.

Well, if you're looking to buy a Honda, and the ad that gets shown is for the Mercedes Benz dealership, that's pretty crappy targeting.

See, I'm not willing to do that. I'm not willing to put up with inferior results on the promise that maybe, someday in the future, they might get better.

Why? It's a discussion about a search engine. The quality of the results are one of the most important aspects of it.

Jobs disappear, and new ones get created. This is true. However, the new ones are not in the same places as the old ones, they are not the same level of pay, they're not the same level of training, and, most importantly, they're n

I am entirely unsatisfied with his address of that problem. Mainly because he doesn't address it. He just kinda hand waves it away. And that's the only interesting thing that there is to address. We all know that automation is com

I think this ignores the most important question of all: Given the rises in automation, how do we avoid adding up in a Hunger Games-esque future? And before anyone says UBI: Do you honestly think that Paul Ryan, who is planning on gutting S

Anytime you dismiss something as things that "real developers" don't do, you're going to get a huge backlash, and rightfully so.

by st3v3r 10y ago
I don't. It's not that hard to talk with the other devs on your team to avoid those merge problems.

by st3v3r 10y ago
Not close to true. If you don't like using IB, that's fine and your choice. But many of us prefer using visual tools to lay out our UIs, so that we can see how it's going to look without having to compile and run the app ever

But Scotland voted overwhelmingly against Brexit. They wanted to stay in the EU.

I know in California, the AG office can apparently elect not to defend a law (they did it with the Prop 8 gay marriage ban). Is that something unique to California, or can other states do it?

So once again, it's ok to tell other people that, just not you. And eliminating worker protections never makes sense. It then just becomes a race to see who can undo them the fastest.

by st3v3r 10y ago
You're not addressing my point. You're kinda just reinforcing the idea that "You don't have to work there" is ok to tell, say, Uber drivers, but not ok to tell you regarding a company having a union.
409.
by st3v3r 10y ago
So the "You don't have to work there" argument isn't ok here, but it's ok for pretty much any other facet of the job? I mean, when someone talks about conditions with Uber drivers or Instacart shoppers, the number o

The issue is that the people arguing against it don't want to not be a jerk. They want to continue being a jerk, and not face any consequences for doing so.

Given that poster's other comments in here, I seem to doubt that. It's seeming like the grandparent is using it to demean women, and is getting angry that they're being called out on it.

by st3v3r 10y ago
Here's the thing I don't get: You have been told repeatedly in this thread that referring to women as "girls" is demeaning and treating them like children. This is fact. A normal person, when told that they are calling s

"It sounds like the union needs special legally granted monopoly powers to sell me services I don't actually want." To paraphrase the classic anti-union argument, "Nobody is forcing you to work somewhere with a compulsor

So she should have to be the one to leave, and potentially have to take a lower paying/lower status job? How on earth is that fair?

"Toughen up" is never the answer. "It is entirely possible to misinterpret friendly ribbing or banter as something far more malicious. " This is still entirely the fault of the one who mistakes ribbing for actual team bu

The guy's entire post was dripping with disdain and contempt for women. Calling them girls was just an example. That is used out of disrespect. I guarantee you that guy would not use the term "boys" to refer to men.

"They also have no interest in the company." Is that really true? Presumably they're being paid by the company. And, in a large enough company, these kinds of things would come up decently often. If the auditor has a few inve
