And this kind of thinking is how we end up with a society shown in the move Idiocracy. While you and your loved ones might survive at the cost of other more considerate people BUT the human race will become slightly dumber.

There was a time not too long ago where software development was considered an expensive investment. Only companies with crazy deep pockets or passionate engineers with equity promises (think startups) could afford to work in such a profess

+1 Seen it many times where a new grad / jr. engineer exaggerates their skills to get a job and the greedy hiring manager thinks s/he has scored big time with a cheaper hire. Big mistake on both ends. Be truthful, do a thorough as

You can't expect a psychopathic personality (Zuck, Gates, Musk, Bezos etc.) to apologize. Their DNA's are not evolved for empathy let alone guilt. It's what makes them fiercely competitive and to win at all costs. I truly fee

Glad to hear! How do your engineers deal with impromptu messages in Teams/Slack disrupting their deep work?

If one joins an org of 1-20 people without understanding "who its customers are, why they would buy the product, or how to make money" then it is on them.

Some perspective ... One developer (Ilya) vs. One businessman (Sam) -> Sam wins Hundreds of developers threaten to quit vs. Board of Directors (biz) refuse to budge -> Developers win From the outside it looks like developers held the

It's just stupid. How do these people get to such senior positions?

by taway1874 3y ago
Yep. And mind you "flexible" here means fully remote. None of that 3 days at office BS.

Love your argument! Nailed it on the hypocrisy.

Analogy - this is like continuing to teach new drivers how to drive a stick-shift ( manual transmission) car when their city has adopted only automatic transmission or single gear EV cars for the future. Humans are great at adapting to thei

Yep! This is the crux of the problem. WFH has been battle tested and proven to be just as effective if not more than working at an office. But when execs try to throw all logic out the window and strong arm the employee for their gain they&

We've heard most of the content written in the article before but the following stood out. It's offers a different perspective. What are you thoughts? ---- Cook imagined programming work as a big pie. Yes, some of the slices that

Sometimes it is necessary to step out and away to make a difference within. You have most certainly contributed in a positive way and perhaps even started a chain reaction of good things to come. Thank you for sharing. PS: What an amazing g

Feels good to just read that there is such a magical place on earth. USA used to be that way but it's quite not the same now. That's it!! I'm moving to Ireland.

About what? Real work or real people or both?

In the market for a 3 row full-size SUV and Ford Expedition was on top of my list. But I guess as a software developer my work is not "real work" and I am not "real people" (whatever the fuck that means)? Shrug! Ford&#x2

Great perspective from both of you. But it's one half from a manager's POV, managing their team(s). Managing upwards is a whole another ball game.

Thank you for sharing! For better or for worse the programming world has changed quite a lot in the past 25+ years. Most of us who started a few decades ago did so with a different type of appetite for coding which seldom exists today. Such

Every team, effective or not are managed. It's just a matter of how visibly managed they are.

Nailed it! Most posts here are from those who have never walked in a manager's shoes so only know what they see (or hear/read). Think about it, minus a few exceptions, most managers are paid better than the engineers they manage.
