Sure it's a big hassle if all you want to do is get your email. But it's still a great way to learn how to administer email if you intend to get a sysadmin or ops job.

Yes, should have qualified it a little more by adding that it does depend very much on which plugins are currently loaded.

If I'm being quite honest, I think LazyVim is the more polished project. I may end up switching to that; I've been impressed by what I've seen so far (as well as using the lazy.nvim package manager).

I haven't played old school D&D in ages. To me, AD&D 2e is the zenith of the game. I had (probably still have, I need to check) the original TSR books. My question to you is: can you point me to an explainer that breaks down al

Like the fact that there's an alternative and support that, but hate the name.

If you add more than a handful of plugins in any of these IDE layers for Neovim, like LunarVim, LazyVim, AstroNvim, &c., it can slow things down to an unacceptable level quickly.

What I do is use zsh as my default shell and use oh-my-zsh, but keep a very simple config for my ~/.bashrc, something like: [ -f ~/.fzf.bash ] && source ~/.fzf.bash source /Users/wyclif/.conf

I've also not experienced any slowness with oh-my-zsh. Now LunarVim, which is an IDE-like layer for Neovim...that's a totally different story.

Wave was supposed to be "equal parts conversation and document" (their description). It seems like they separated out the conversation part to Google Talk and made the document part Docs. Wave was kind of the precursor to the stat

Chad Hurley is still one of my fave tech success stories. Be like Chad Hurley.

I felt like Wave had potential, but they killed it too soon.

No, Buchheit was employee #23 at Google. He also developed AdSense as part of Gmail.

Google Wave was my fave sunsetted project or Google graveyard project. First time I used it I could really see the potential. But as you pointed out, it's often not that simple.

No, it is not "what happens." As somebody who has been doing WFH since well before COVID, I'm getting tired of the trope that says avoiding old management frameworks like having asses in seats in an office in the US is drivin

Thanks, this is a really valuable answer and makes sense to me. The only follow-up I would have would be if that dev with 10-20 years of experience applying for SDE2 did tell you in an interview that they didn't want to move "up o

Thanks. If it's Google (and I suspect it is), what are they calling this employee development program and where can people apply?

The last part is the biggest factor. When all the easy, soft VC capital dried up, so did the jaw-dropping salaries.

Ageism is one of the bad things about our industry. It's the last accepted form of discrimination. The irony is that when you're young and starting a family, you feel guilty about working crazy hours because you're not spendi

There was a tech company in the UK who was doing it (irritatingly, I can't remember their name atm) with Oxford and Cambridge humanities grads. Just googled it and couldn't find it. If anybody remembers what I'm talking about

It's not as if Elon invented the idea. Every successfully entrepreneur who went on to found a large company has done it in one form or another. Maybe it didn't take the form of layoffs, but cost-cutting is a natural behaviour when

Another thing about Europe v. USA conditions: it is considerably harder to fire a bad hire or team member in Europe.

just as productively remotely ...with the same staff and teams, that's the important qualifier. Nobody thinks they're going to get the same quality team by body shopping their hiring funnel.
