You can't build a compact electric car with 4 seats that meets safety laws. As soon as it's classified as an automobile you're stepping into a new game. That's why existing solutions are essentially mopeds with 4 wheels.

Multiple devices? Central management? I use KeePass so I don't know, but I assume there are valid reasons

I've had good results from refusing to play this security theatre.

I've done something like this with my bank, I tell them it's a bunch of nonsense because the security question recovery is just a variation of a weak password so we'll need to validate me some other way. They always can

You appear to be contrasting layoffs to quitting, so wouldn't you be the one who doesn't have your coworkers' backs?

This is ridiculous, and I imagine it's only true for one Twitter employee who's only been there for a very short time. If this was the case how would you expect these people to get a job if they got further down the funnel? Do you

This is a crazy approach. It signals the company is on trouble so the first to go will be your best, who all have lots of options. Anyone half decent will immediately start risk diversification by looking for other opportunities. Meanwhile

From my experience scaling to a 100 is also pretty easy. You don't get consistent results across all your teams but you're small enough to mask this with direct communication and adhoc process. The foundational stuff really pays o

This sounds great on paper but I have a hard enough time getting buy-in to finish the prototype. I've never seen anyone throw away the prototype and rebuild from the ground up before waiting years and then calling it "V2"

So they value "grit" which is defined as the ability to code and push features in near real time, as told to the CEO at a multi day trade show, then follow that up with explaining the importance of building a solid foundation. Pic

This reads like a humble brag. You don't typically recommend "start exercising" then suggest a daily workout that even professional athletes wouldn't do

I can't determine if you're aware that MS-Works was their original paired-back office suite often bundled with new windows PCs

You're essentially promoting the old "bringing them down from the inside" defense, which next to "I was only following orders" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves in order to sleep better

I'm confused by what you think the internet is, and this hype you feel it's failing?

So you stopped using it, but now use it less, and you read history articles that are fiction because they're so old, but the quality had declined recently? Pick a lane.

But the entire point of Wikipedia is that there is no possible way a traditional gatekeeping expert encyclopedia could be as current or encompassing as a crowd sourced version. Maybe that would be the ideal best solution, but let's not

The 10x developer isn't someone who crushes 10 times as many tickets, or works 10 times as fast, they're someone who makes a large number of people marginally better while their peers focus soley on their individual contribution.

Your experience is what I think of whenever someone discounts a liberal arts education. It seems like the perfect second degree!

It's terrible that something that should have been wonderful was so painful for you. I've completed 11 years of post secondary spread pretty evenly over 30+ years of adulthood and loved it more and more as I've continued. Thi

You haven't convinced me there's a good substitute for email when it comes to threaded, easy, async, thoughtful communication. Your suggestions all fail one of these.

10 minutes x everyone on the team x scheduled time for all x disruption and context switch loss I like in person updates myself, but it's not as obvious of a cost calc as you present. There is definitely a place for async, written upda

This is about empathy more than contribution, same thing with Quantas right now getting executives to handle baggage. It looks good (see how much we care?), and can be actually positive if it makes senior leadership understand what employee

"Several tables and selectively joining them" ... "Enter an id and filter" Sure sounds like your creating a relational database in a spreadsheet, which is possible but not really the intended purpose?

Experienced devs won't bother with your LC exercises but you now want them to implement SQLite or redis? Good luck with your recruiting!

That's a great manager IMO. as is the discussion around if this should be an off-by-one or bad pointer error

This is the PG version that Disney would use. The reality is a lot more scary and dangerous.
