I want to convince you this isn’t a good idea. If all the businesses shut down in my town or city, what happens after? Where do I find work? Especially if I don’t have sufficient capital to start a new business (never mind the skills or tra

Are we saying a rent payment is a “transfer of wealth”? I’m not invested in real estate, but I imagine many people in real estate were just as impacted. Don’t you likely need to pay towards a mortgage and put some aside for capital and day

With respect, I don’t understand your comment. You’re saying Facebook provides you utility. Well, FBs business model is they provide you a service in exchange for your data. You have the option of engaging in that transaction — using their

Everything seems to have a subscription model these days. In my personal opinion, I’d rather pay for a service I really want instead of this “free” model where it annoys me with ads. I don’t fully understand the value proposition of Tickete

I took 3 weeks vacation last December. I typically take a few days off a year and don’t have formal vacations — and this is by choice. At the end of the three weeks, I was dreading returning to work. Now my compensation is over $500K a year

Personally, I’d happily accept being a lifeless drone, at least for a few years. Save the extra income and invest it. Reap the dividends. Having said that, I don’t know how bad those roles actually are. Obviously, it’s not worth it if it af

Out of curiosity what do you define as being paid well? What country and region or state and what’s the compensation? I had a recruiter try to lure me for a $130K “senior” role on the east coast in the US. I earn several times that.

This blows my mind. I remember begging my dad in 1999 to buy me a Voodoo 3 3000 and literally crying until he agreed. He wouldn’t let open the Compaq and install it myself, and so I walked him through the installation. It was a big upgrade

I don’t know the direct answer to your question, but I briefly looked at your github. It wasn’t clear to me what your value proposition is. What are you doing that’s different? If I had a new web project, why would I use your framework? Is

If you were placed in a situation where everything feels like it’s on fire and falling apart, don’t go complaining to your manager. There’s a good chance your leader ship already knows, and that’s exactly why they put you there. Because the

>Yeah, those companies suck organizationally. These companies are viewed as exemplars of operating at scale. If they're failing at this, there's a deeper problem that requires a second look. Saying these companies "suck or

I think this could be a can of worms that’s more damaging. What if the software is completely usable when it’s slow? What if it’s slow by design? That’s not outlawed? And what’s the metric for being slow? Latency? Latency across what dimens

Service oriented architecture isn’t a silver bullet though. In at least one of the big tech companies I worked at, team A would need to make changes or add features to some service owned by team B. Team B had other priorities, didn’t want T

The high hiring bar weeds out the obvious candidates who would get ranked at the bottom and moved out. It also weeds out the people without solid interviewing skills who are excellent for the role but not so great in a high stakes interview

I’ll share my perspective from working in big tech. Mobile apps aren’t the sexy tech they once were (like in 2012). We do have mobile apps critical to the customer experience. Even the same app may have some components or features built nat

Im going on a tangent here, but I’m surprised he hasn’t resigned. I’m more than convinced the company knew the reality when they put out their original statement. Now they’re back tracking, but the lack of ethics is just jarring.

I use graphql extensively at work, because it requires it. I wouldn’t use graphql if my use case was sufficiently solved with REST. And in most cases, it is. Saying graphql will take over rest is like saying apples will take over bananas.

No client/customer information is on dev machines. You can ssh to a set of machines where we push logs from our production servers, but this is only offered if your team owns the micro service. And those logs won’t contain anything tha

I was shopping on Eddie Bauer about 15 minutes ago. They have a great deal on t-shirts and shorts, which they plastered all over the page. It works like this - the more items you buy, you get a bigger discount. Great - that makes sense. But

How can we fix that? Many of my family members and friends have little to no interest in reading or learning, although they do have strong opinions on just about every topic. In my mind, demand for journalism and quality journalism is going

None. I’d like to get a luxury SUV with leather seats and a high end music system, but I don’t want to pay $60K+ for the kind of vehicle I want. And I live in a city where everything I need is in walking distance. And I don’t have children

I don’t think they’re seen as evil monopolists, as you’ve described. That’s quite frankly just your opinion because Apple won’t let you do what you want. Again, you’re talking around me. My argument is I buy their products because I know my
