When you say the "whole industry", which industry are you referring to? The entire technology sector? Venture-backed companies specifically? Growth-stage VC-backed specifically? This claim is counterintuitive to me in many busines

Well I think that a proper implementation of "disagree and commit" differs significantly from what's described in the article. The author seems to be suggesting that rather than discussing technical trade-offs and nuance, you

Oh interesting, is it actually covered as part of the standard compulsory public school curriculum? Genuinely surprised, because here in Canada (Ontario) it's covered as an elective in 11th grade physics, which roughly 15/120 peop

Maybe this depends on the framing? Ex. 18 months is fairly common in some circles, but that could alternatively have been expressed as a year and a half. 6-12 months? Red flag 12-24 months, especially early-to-mid career? Not uncommon

At least in the factory I worked in prior to becoming a software engineer, there was a significantly higher component of physical risk than in any of the software jobs I've worked in

Well, I think in the context of the parent comment, separating out housing would risk overstating changes in its effect on purchasing power because increases to housing would already be captured by inflation (since we're talking about

I see your point, and think one of the merits in OP's argument is precisely what you're saying: words have meaning, and saying something like "I think that X is probably the case" when you're virtually certain that

Interesting, I regularly use chat-based support on amazon.ca to speak with (what I presume is) a real human after none of the control flow paths adequately resolve my issue. I've always found the support quick to reply and very helpful

Unsure about whether the specific dealership in question supports online booking, but there existing consumers whose preference is for a phone call over a web-based experience is definitely the case, at least in the US. For example, even wi

My read of the comment wasn't that he was "blaming" either, but explaining where the fees come from. It sounds like the direct increase to the consumer's prices is done by the restaurant itself, but the reason the rest

So I agree that your inference is probably correct, but it is worth pointing out that the rate which a sex experiences X from their intimate partners isn't exactly the same as the rate at which the other sex does X to their partners, n

How this issue skews probably depends on where you live, but in the area I live, I have the opposite complaint: that bicyclists should re-learn that they are legally required (in my city) to ride on roads, rather than barrelling down side

I agree that for people who do that type of work, it's engineering For a typical fullstack dev building views, CRUDs, and simple DB schemas, less so And you're probably right that most SWEs don't deal with math-adjacent thing

I agree that the work that CEs do in the vein of what you're describing is closer to my conception of engineering. I also don't think most people who call themselves a "software engineer" fit that description though. My

I would say it depends on the specific role and project, but for most people who write code, likely not. Coming from a mechanical engineering background, I understood "engineering" as the application of science for problem solving

War and Peace was the first book I read as an adult (at 19) and I was blown away. Definitely opened my mind as to how great a great book can be, and raised my standards for what I'm willing to spend time on reading considerably. I thin

Seemed like most of the examples would just be due to sloppy implementation / a lack of testing edge cases? This is a good lesson to take away I guess, but "defensive CSS" isn't how I see it. It just sounds like thoughtf

I would hope so, at a minimum! I'm shocked that signing an affidavit in a court of law certifying the existence of made-up courses isn't simply criminal.

The relationship between a boss and an employee is so far removed from a classical single-round prisoner's dilemma that I don't think you'll draw reliably accurate conclusions from it. As it sounds like you know, constraints

Nonfiction: "Rationality: From AI to Zombies" by Eliezer Yudkowsky. It was a fantastic deep-dive into the topic, and despite being extremely long was very readable. Fiction: "Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. I've
