Lets say I really like basketball, like a lot, so much so that I want to work at a basketball company doing something . In doing so I accept that a basketball company will want to promote politicians that will build sports centers and will

Why do you feel like you're not entitled to compensation for your labor? Where is the line? I've experienced take home projects that were expected to take "10 hours". If I spend 10 hours on a take home instead of my cons

Compared to what it was like when I was working at Walmart...? Yeah, material gain has certainly made me a thousand times happier. I haven't had to worry about an Electric bill in years. I used to have to navigate and memorize the elec

What the OP is saying is you could have phrased your comment like you did in your last paragraph here. Nobody disagrees that until it ends the situation will create further instability; but it can end with Russia giving up or surrendering a

What are you insinuating precisely?

Lolol, I've been jumping in after-hours for years. They only take notice when you say "I quit".

So tell that to my stepmom that made me sit in a car when I was 13 years old with the windows rolled up while she chain smoked on a 2 hour drive because she was on the phone and couldn't hear with the windows down. Despite my protests.

This is patently false. They will remove it if they are feeling particularly jolly when you call and ask. But they are under no obligation to do so and they have denied this action to me before.

Does this mean we should never make progress or change anything? Also if your tutorials are using a base repository to work from, then you can still have the branch "master" it's just not default. So your existing repos shoul

It's all relative. Compared to many that is "ultra" privileged. I'm almost 30 and I can't even access a line of credit for 30k of debt because of stuff that happened earlier in life without having my parents as a sa

But you have no evidence of this. You're just saying "This thing I like will be big because I like it" Web2 had a lot of stars align to become "the next big thing". (The newfound capacity for advertising, smartphone

You have too much stuff tacked onto a friday. If you want happier employees just let them have the early weekend instead of doing a "quiz" or "board game". I come to work to work, not be forced to play games with colleag

This is weird to me in a thread about requirements gathering. The OP isn't making the case weighing good, but slow, programmers and bad, but fast, programmers. They're specifically calling out C2 moving slowly to gather requiremen

Assuming 20k in debt is more than manageable for most people really says more about you than it does others who can't pay that back. The OP said he could just "reach into savings" and whip out 12k. That is an INCREDIBLY privi

In all of my experience, it has never been engineers misunderstanding the users. It has always, ALWAYS, been C-suites, Executives, and VPs pushing product features to 1. Entice investors 2. Planning for some external company event like a me

Yes, precisely, they will get paid extremely well somewhere else where this is not part of the expected job duties. And in my opinion, the doordash product will suffer for it.

Can you explain to me how someone who spends their entire day in k8s and helm charts would benefit by exploring the UX of an application through the lens of the user? Beyond a normal study, that is?

Seems like a great way to assist the engineers in just finding new jobs...

What net-beneficial applications of crypto would you suggest I look at if I wanted to re-evaluate my perspective on crypto? I was a very early crypto fan, loved talking about decentralized trustless networks, legal smart contracts, that kin

This is more than just east. I am seeing the same error on us-west-2 resources.

Yes, but this is not evidence of "it will end" to me.

But didn't they sell the houses to investors and/or established landlords? I'm not sure how this helps the youth or those otherwise disillusioned with the current housing market as that housing is still unavailable to them.

This is true only for those of us privileged enough to have discretionary income. Which is not all of us :)

Do you think the same way with movies? Many movies could probably survive on ad placement revenue alone. Why do you pay to go to the movies? Do you think the same way with buying a laptop? I'm sure you could fund a laptop with ad and b

This is a pretty privileged viewpoint imo. This one small thing lost the public's trust? Not the fact that cops used to pull me over for no reason because I lived in a poor neighborhood? Not the fact that my family member's lives

Twitch streams aren't free though. If nobody paid then they wouldn't exist. It's just a voluntaryist model. Those that pay, do, those that can't or don't want to, don't. So I'm not a sucker for choosing to
