Ah, reminds of my first car. I got a new Corolla and went on my merry way. But on the third day I found the steering stuck and extremely hard to maneuver. Scared the heck out of me, so I went back to the dealership. They inspected the car a

This is still missing the point. The way to improve PM accountability isn't engineers fixing them. It's the organization's and leadership responsibility to ensure PMs are held accountable. Engineers would be far happier if th

No one is denying the need for PMs. OP is pointing out that PMs have too much decision making power, with too little accountability in most organizations. Your argument is akin to, "PMs can't code, so alas we need engineers, and t

Overengineering is typically a term thrown around when a manager wants to ship a system in half the time it actually would take to make a half-decent system!

These are just fantastical musings of a product manager, who is pretty far from engineering, and thinks that their products fail because of engineers, not because they didn't get their product right, and/or think that every engine

So you are going on and on about a hypothesis without any backing numbers, while completely ignoring provided evidence on how the unvaccinated is more likely to end up in ICUs? Get off your high horse and do your fucking part. People are dy

The article doesn't make sense. It's at best a clickbait, and at worse the author doesn't understand impostor syndrome at all, because an actual 'impostor' in an 'impostor syndrome' would be some under-ski

That's an insane price ($5 a month). HBO subscription costs $14.99 a month. Expecting indi artists to get that level of revenue is insane.

Because ctci is a terrible book to start learning basics from. I agree with let perfect not be the enemy of the good, but CTCI/LC are not good, they are terrible and overwhelming for someone with no background in algorithms.

Why would a crawler want to crawl the same page every second (let alone 71 times a second). Even if I were Google, wouldn't crawling any page every few mins (or say every minute) be way more than enough for freshness?
