Seems in line with cookie pop ups, COVID disclosure banners, and all the other modern web cruft that doesn’t deliver value.

The counterpoint here could be, "You've stagnated my wages, gutted my retirement plan, and reduced my benefits. I refuse to budge one inch more."

I don't think you should get over it. Dive deeper, if anything. Also maybe ask what thought process led to thinking that this obsession is a problem? Maybe there's a deeper problem you're trying to solve with yourself mentall

I’m 35 - the highest in your cited range. I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt like I had more options. In fact, 5 years ago I wouldn’t even get a response from FAANG recruiters any time I applied. Now I’m turning them away. Make of tha

Yeah, another poster pointed out that I meant the Digital Service and this was correct.

by vogt 5y ago
Yes, this is actually correct. My mistake. Their missions and names appear to be similar enough that it tripped me up. Thanks for the correction.

I like that the Digital Corps exists in theory. I applied many moons ago, I believe during the Obama administration. Service to our country is something I feel is important so I applied to at least see if there was a fit. When I got to the

This is a great strategy and one I employ as well. I like to let my guard down and not let things feel too stuffy - talk to them like you would somebody onboarding you into a codebase or something. Approach as an opportunity to connect with

I applaud you for at least being introspective and considered when asking this question, even if I didn't necessarily feel the same while looking at them. Some of the folks replying to you would be better served to approaching their re

Spoken like somebody who hasn't even bothered to scroll through the list of episodes for even a cursory few seconds (which seems to be the norm among JRE critics). Do Snoop Dogg, Jewel, or Jim Gaffigan strike you as "fringe people

I found a lot of value in this. I rarely find the desire to comment on threads with input that amounts just to “great job!”, but to the author: I took a lot of tips and inspiration from this. Thank you for sharing.

If it were a cheat code, by definition, it would be available to anyone and everyone without prejudice or variance. I didn't say using "I was scared" as a lethal force justification never happened. Painting it as a cheat code

That's a popular leftist talking point, but untrue. It didn't work for the murderers of Armad Aubrey (as it should not have), for one recent high-profile example. If we were referring to _Police_ in America, I'd agree with yo

The role is called Design Technologist. Amazon has a good amount of them and they are starting to crop up in many more orgs. There is a real need for UX research and prototyping supplemented by prototypes actually built in code rather than

If you grew up in the US I'd like to demand the resignation of whatever American history professor you had growing up. "Mad they had to pay taxes" completely obfuscates (probably in bad faith) the fact that colonists had no s

Right, the old "Americans don't want to improve anything" bit. Enjoy your vesting options.

You referring to it as a strawman is the only strawman in this argument now, if we're being technical about the definition of strawman. People migrate from countries like Australia, or sit in their armchairs in Sweden and expect the US

Well put. Exactly what I was getting at.

Huh! With all that vitriol, I would sure hope the unparalleled salary for software people is not the reason why you migrated (and continue to stay) here.

Sounds like leadership has their heads up their asses. In my experience, a startup that acts like this is either bound to fail or is secretly not a startup - like the one I interviewed with who were owned - and therefore beholden to the whi

I can submit some UX enhancement proposals. Is there a way to do that which makes sense? Github issue with a link?

Not yet, but as a contractor-to-hire employee I expect that the latter part of the equation won't be happening at absolute best. Anybody looking for a FT remote senior designer with heavy component library, react prototyping and sketch

Wes' content is much more engaging to me than the average MOOC, Udemy, treehouse, Udacity, etc course. I find him approachable and fun without appearing incompetent or lackadaisical. I can see how his quirkiness and the metal music and

In most cases, most certainly not. If the OP was hired as a managing PM with direct PM reports, that's a different story. It is unclear what the context is.

If you want to go really small, Pullman WA is exactly what you're asking for. WSU and Schweitzer Engineering are the only shows in town (seriously) and the population is about 10k not including the students. We rented a 2-story, 4 be
