I don't get how any of this is better than buying a decent truck and tow camper. Truck prices are likewise insane in the US but offer more utility if you decide you want to stop living out of a camper. A lot of this seems dumb but it w

I'd guess only a small portion of people actually care for that feature. People are maybe better at remembering what's in their files by name alone than we give them credit, or willing to just look through things to find them, or

This is a big list to tackle from zero. Chances are you’re employable if you get through a third or half of this list. You’re probably senior if you can do all of it.

I don't like how this article wants you to waste time getting tripped up and frustrated with basic problems just for the sake of figuring it out on your own. There are major companies doing research on wheels in a variety of contexts a

Developers just need to understand everything because we need developers to do everything and meet all deadlines. We wouldn't dare consider a support role that could troubleshoot it because then there would be no point to having develo

This is just deceptive as you're saying it's optional but rejecting people behind the scenes. Stop wasting peoples' time and just mark it as required.

If you can get the work done, it's not unethical. Sounds like they weren't getting it done though: >(their downfall was neither of them were meeting productivity expectations, not getting their work done)

TBH if you trained with lots of data you’re not supposed to use (no consent), you probably should be forced to release things. You shouldn’t get the agency to withhold work if you didn’t respect others’ choices about not contributing to AI.

The basics give you enough to be dangerous, but cloud stuff has become complex enough to require dedicated people to do it well. I'd prefer to hire someone dedicated to that and just let them work part time when the environment is simp

I think it comes down to team/company preference. I would really prefer a culture that allowed (at least) 2-8 hours for a larger code review of features. That way you can block time out for it and digest things. A company culture has t

This only seems like it started in 2021. Up until then, those arguments were sound. It's worth reconsideration if this is now the trend, but can you really defend the position that you thought those arguments were suspect because you k
