Vans don't project manliness. Most people don't use pickup trucks for pickup truck things. They'd be fine with a station wagon, but they have self-confidence issues.

Not really. We know many people involved and they’re not going to get prosecuted. Analysis is not accountability.

Look at how people have responded to Rust. On the one hand, the learning curve for memory safety (with lifetimes and the borrow checker) can feel exhausting when moving from something like Ruby. But once you internalize the rules, you'

For sure. At that point they have to fire them, even though it's the company / leadership's fault and hard to watch. Ultimately better for that engineer, as well, to move on.

I've been an early employee (sub 10 and 20) in two unicorns and another (a presidential campaign) that didn't have a valuation but did the equivalent. People did not work 40 hours per week, and I feel comfortable saying that the c

I think by the time you are hiring people at 27 years old or whatever, there is a noticeable gap in motivation. A quarter century of lived experience (which is "inherent" to the person you're hiring) is a lot, especially at t

+111111 I don't believe a manager can be effective at 15 direct reports. I think it's possible to keep things afloat, but split that team in half and hire another manager and you'll be in a much better position. What usually

I think motivation is contextual. When I love the mission of the project I'm working on, I'll put everything into it. When I hit a prolonged wall of politics or poor leadership, I'm not going to operate at 100%. There's

I'd go further: a bad manager can turn a great engineer into a very bad one. People look up to great people, and when the strongest performers are demotivated, that spreads. Commonly in the cultures that end up this way, leadership bla

Yeah this 100%. One of my core philosophies as a manager is that by default I should get the fuck out of the way. From there, identify the biggest issues and solve them. If you're successful hiring great people, I really don't und

I would tell a recruiter directly that 996 is a red flag. Prior to that it was cracked (née 10x (née ninja)) engineers or sigma grindset or whatever. It's performative. If you bring people together to build something that they actually

It’s interesting to see everyone advocate for open source software with permissive licenses, then get mad when companies use them. If python wants to require money for updates or for customers over $X in revenue, they can! If companies don’

I hope it doesn’t go away, too. It’s been sad seeing journalism in the online era, where so much (not all!) content is produced without really visiting or researching things. Often it’s based only on statements / tweets, sometimes more

1. Vance built a lot of support in Silicon Valley. 2. Tech donated to Vance (and Trump) under the understanding that they would be a protected class. 3. By tagging Vance publicly and directly, he’s calling a favor. 4. If Vance doesn’t take

Especially for the use case they’re talking about. It makes sense to have open standards for something like filing taxes so many companies can compete. Having source code for the tax system itself is interesting, but I think the market for

The only country I could imagine doing this is North Korea, because, while we would carpet bomb them, they can delete Seoul from the map with traditional artillery that we can’t stop. But I don’t think that their leaders are actually suicid

I don’t know how many Americans actually approve of this. The left will hate it. Trump’s base has largely been isolationist. Obviously if someone like Italy bombed us we would invade and beat the shit out of them. We did a two decade, trill

Yeah it’s surprising how little justification there’s been for this. As a well-read US citizen, I don’t actually know why we did this. Was it for oil? Socialism bad? To stop drugs? I think you latter is the narrative I’m most familiar with.
