I’ve written all of my companies guidelines. I explicitly codify that the hiring of former surveillance capitalism mercenaries is a fireable offense. “But the equity was great” is not an excuse.

I’ll match your anecdote with mine. I’ve been everything from CTO to lead engineer. I’ve made sure we always pay well above average for every role because I’d rather have one exceptional engineer than 10 regular ones. FAANG on your resume i

This is by design. They want to track everything but that’s too much too quick, so instead they set the limit high and let inflation do the job.

Hiring devs who are bottom of the barrel and located in India (super low CoL) =/= claiming all Indian devs are bottom of the barrel. Please try not to jump to racism accusations immediately, it makes the world a worse place. It even

My parents bought a brand new BMW X5 once. One of the back doors wouldn’t open and they didn’t find out until they got home. Somehow the car was built, shipped, etc and no BMW employee ever tried to open all 4 doors. BMW had to replace the

As a casual observer of casual observers, it bothers me when I see people more concerned with how someone said something then what they said. This flaw in human comprehension is responsible for a lot of what’s wrong with our society.

I don’t like giving questionable 3rd parties full access to my browsing data. I’d rather the browser get that right from the get go. It’s just like AV, I want Microsoft/Apple to secure their shit and not “Norton”

Good. Brave is a solid browser. As someone who used Firefox continuously from when it used to be called “Mozilla” until early 2020 Brave is vastly superior. -better UI/UX -awesome ad block built in and by default, no need for extension
