What exactly is so wrong with macOS? It's unix at the end of the day...

I don't think that they are reimplemented for every car. But the lineup for 2024 will basically have 90% rewritten code from the, say, 2022 lineup.

I actually know for a fact that a new iDrive version was reimplemented from scratch even though it was just an upgrade from the previous version and there would have been enough code to reuse. Maybe he was sarcastic but this actually happen

Most of the time the hardware team doesn't get to choose their hardware. There is usually a budget and in automotive you can select only hardware that has some specific certifications for use in a car so that narrows the list even furt

Crab mentality is quite widespread in USA for some reason. "If you don't like it quit". Why not "If we don't like it then lets band together and unionize and get better terms on our deal" ?

I've never understood why that is happening. Are they trying to make sure there is no knowledge accumulation at a single tier 1 supplier? Kind of make sure nobody can create a competing product and just sell it to different OEMs?

From what I observed product owners know that the system sucks and it's laggy. They also know that the OEM management only keeps repeating "cheap, cheap, cheap", "with a renewed focust on costs" and other sayings li

And a talented manager should know when to say "Ok. I will find somebody else to do it then. For cheaper". You are easily replaceable.

And it's part of the manager's job to tell you "I agree but don't care. Do it anyway or I will find somebody else to do it. For cheaper." Always remember that you are replaceable. When the newborn is crying and want

It's not criminal so they will continue to lower the cost. 50ms quickly becomes 500ms response time when you realize that no tier 1 supplier can hit within your OEM budget and your boss is becoming impatient :) Another thing that happe

The industry works as follows: the OEM (Daimler, Toyota etc.) says they want a software spec implemented. Other companies (Tier 1 suppliers) bid to win the contract. The cheapest usually wins. If you have a company and refuse to take the cr

Yes. The infotainment code is rewritten every time. By different devs. Because that is how automotive industry works. This time BMW wants infotainment and a third party wins the contract (because it's the cheapest usually). For the nex

Because the people good at managing don't spend time complaining on HN. I strongly recommend that if you "are great at building software and love it" to learn managing. It's just a force multiplier. Like using an even hi

You just said that you see no difference between people that take leetcode and those who don't So why the hell use leetcode as a filter if it doesn't filter for anything?

He built it alone? Just him? Why does he need so many tens of thousands of employees then? Just because I initiate something doesn't mean I fully own it.

Most people need a smartphone at least for google maps. Do you really believe people will go back to using paper maps for orientation? Or fixed phones?

Me and most people want sync though. That is why it's the default. And I hope it stays that way.

Yes. I need a smartphone. What is it with so many antiprogress people on HN? Do you really need cooked food? Like reaaaaly need it? Yes ffs... Windows with ads is a much smaller inconvenience than completely changing my work style to fit wi

I'd still try to change jobs. I mean you could make double and there is also a chance you don't run into the same types of assholes. I am not saying you won't, I am saying there is a chance. Also, high turnover rate is a big

I am a manager. Wanna know why other departments have advantages and yours doesn't? Because they are more important. Truth hurts, I know but bear with me. You've been programming for 20 years and not moved into management. That is

A B C - Always Be Closing! In this case, always be shipping. I see a lot of resentment around here against the fact that you developers are always seen as lowly peons by managers. And here we have the perfect example why: this guy doesn&#x2
