Oh, I didn’t know they verified it. I’ve never disclosed, but if I was pressed I figured I’d lie because it’s none of their business anyway. I can’t see why your current employer would verify that, though. Plus it’s a dead giveaway that you

Hmm, I find it fairly tasteful and not gratuitous.

Yes? People are not generally interested in financial institutions saying “bae is lit AF” or whatever.

I’m just always trying to find somewhere that’s better. If I can make a better salary and get a better job, great. If I can make the same salary but get more equity, in a company that seems likely to be successful, great. (I’m doing that la

It’s so bad. My work just switched to Google from Dropbox and it performs much worse. Also everything about the client and the product just screams that Google doesn’t give a crap about it.

Ok, but the point is that it used to take even less time than it does now, and ideally things would get faster as technology advances.

Good for them, hope they do something helpful with their wealth and the rest of their life.

That’s right. They can take away the stuff the culture depends on, they can take away the workplace you feel so secure in, but the compensation is written into the contract. Plus that’s the actual reason why we all get up in the morning and

You mean, what if you’re a libertarian who hates the government so bad they want a job working for it all day? Probably more common than you think

I don’t think the point GP is making is cynical. I think what GP is talking about is cynical.

Remember: nobody knows anything. Especially, especially political pundits. The entire class is full of outrageously clueless people.

I think it might be more idiomatic, and more in the direction of what the author seeks, to check `my_string.present?` which is false for nil and empty string.

Thanks for the report!

Probably worth mentioning the source of the structure of this quote- it’s Michael Pollan’s distilled dietary advice: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Maybe that quote itself is based on something else, but it’s where I know it from.

Ugh, that phrase is so grim. I kinda wish people in this industry would just tell each other to “shut up and deal with it” if that’s what they effectively mean.

Hmm, I was thinking more along the lines of not misplacing our sympathies. People who lash out because they’re losing their jobs deserve sympathy, people who are losing their jobs and being lashed out against deserve even more sympathy. As

I’m on board as long as we remember that the victims of that behavior have to deal with a double whammy- the economic precarity plus the racist and sexist discrimination aimed at them. They never even got to the point of having the stabil

I work for one of those fancy startups. Everything is chaos all the time, you have all these extremely smart people in the small doing actually kinda dumb things in the large. This worked better when the company was small and is causing mor
