If remote work didn’t actually result in higher productivity the entire industry wouldn’t be trying to ship the labor base to India. Everything is going overseas. Even some doctors offices are employing video check in services.

Research is not corporate labor. Rarely are there “good problems” to work on. I’d bet dollars to donuts 99.99999% of employed HNers could close their door at work, or work from home, rarely interact with anyone, and know exactly what needs

PMs are an invention of PHBs that sat in too many introductions to agile from management consulting firms. Actual agile gets rid of them along with all the other cruft. PM as a title is fundamentally a jobs program for people who couldn’t h

It’s good you took the time to post a critical, fact-based response instead of a trite baseless jab.

It is exactly that and it’s clear the author is one of these “yappers”. I like that term. These people are also absolutely obnoxious irl and completely fail to read the room. I once had a PM like this who went into a near mental health cris

Not when the government steps in because OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, etc are all going down together. There is so much pseudo-money-laundering going on between those companies. I would be shocked if the government (e.g. 2008 style socialism

This sounds good as a sound bite. But barely any investigation cracks it. We don't police companies much because we have entire divisions of law enforcement who are supposed to be doing that job. 1. If a restaurant serves food that har

I see no purpose in having empathy at work when I've basically lost all agency to the tyranny of the failed-developer-turned-PM, the spiteful C-suite that sees you as a cost center, and the very obvious effort to not let professionals

This is the primary reason IP patents should be thrown out. They're far too easy to get, exist primarily for the purpose of rent seeking, and generally provide nothing useful to the public knowledge.

Calling ICE the secret police is factually incorrect and intellectually dishonest. First, ICE has no authority over US we citizens. So on that note alone they are not a police force. Second, they still operate under the law, specially INA 2

No I can’t because ICE took on some of the roles of US customs and the immigration and naturalization service. The same thing that spun them out formed the DHS, which once again existed as splinters of other organizations cooperating. It’s
