This is the correct answer in theory , but in practice, I've never seen a company that was very good at paying/promoting people based on output. It is difficult enough to measure output, especially when there's often many is

Is your team quite inexperienced with git, or is there anything inherently unusual about the project? If the team is spending a lot of time dealing with merge conflicts, merging vs rebasing isn't the problem. More than likely, one or m

'not brittle' if you 'manually enter' isn't exactly a glowing review. There's definitely some good with selenium, but I and others find it is often brittle and doesn't catch errors as reliably as would be

Are you specifically targeting better career opportunities? Now is as good a time as ever to be a seasoned Full Stack engineer. Pursuing an MS and shifting specialties seems very expensive. Despite all the support other commenters are givin

Agreed with this completely. People really shouldn't be offended by job titles as they vary so much between companies. Experience and output matter. I can't imagine interviewing someone and asking about the current job title. Ha

Your point is valid but somewhat exaggerated. There should be some companies somewhat in the middle of the two extremes you've laid out. Companies that are reaching product market fit but still have a high level of uncertainty. Note, I

Now, that is the real question. One thing that I'd like to think helps me is being genuinely happy for others' success . This is the easiest to do for your close friends and family, but as you get to fringe friends, acquaintances

Tesla has, by and large, benefited tremendously from the funding and support it has received as a public company.

That's impressive foresight. Why did Linus make such fanfare about his departure if it was always intended to be so short?

There are so many conspiracy theories around how the story could be true, but seemingly no theories about what happens if the story is false.

Teachers have been making the same argument for decades. I remember a big anti-video game and anti-tv push when I was in elementary school.

I'm not so sure about the lack of funding. A number of startups really start having this issue once they start seeing some traction. Maybe they're actively looking for new or additional senior technical leadership or just scaling

I wouldn't say love, but I certainly now hold a stronger appreciation of JS after learning about many of its quirks and intricacies.

While some will disagree to an extent, I partially judge languages & tools on their amount of usage. A robust community for a "bad" tool will see improvements made, and solutions for problems quickly disseminated. Lisp is just

I haven't dived into lisp, but if you're telling me it'll make my code shorter, I'm sure I'll love it.

I'm sure your stuff is great, and I'll happily give a look or two... but you are openly advertising your stuff without really answering the OP.

Which tidbits did you feel that way about? It seemed to me that most of the advice is pretty in-line with that given to value-maximizing startups.

A lot of truth to this, but such is the role of the media. If Trump was threatening to cut off MBS's weapons supplies, the article would be written talking about all of the potential negative ramifications.

I think it's similar to any other discretionary product where people pay for after market accessories or additional add-on real and cosmetic features. People pay $$$'s to mod their sports cars with additional speed but drive them

Anyone have numbers around how much Lampert personally put in and how much he personally will get out of Sears? What are we expecting returns to be here after all the financial engineering and various fees from investors?

I'd second this. I'm guessing from the OP that the issue is the current state of affairs, and that will be tough. In fact, I've never heard of a company significantly increasing its engineering culture without significant tur

Agreed with everyone who's saying reach out to the company and/or lawyers. I hate to sling negativity on the internet, but you posted code online and are upset that someone is making money off of it. Again, I could be way off base

I have the same concerns. I'm especially suspicious of anything with seemingly unanimous support.

I'm on the fence about the message here. PG announces Arc and receives flack for it. Then writes an article noting that he's always received this same flack for everything that he's done. Sounds to me like the message is less
