People have to eat. Maslow's hierarchy of needs and all that. Fact of the matter is Meta has problems almost no one else has. Acting like people will choose less pay and boring work over interesting work and more pay on a moral basis i

It's good to see that despite all of the astroturfed "Journalism" on the death of remote work the data appears to show otherwise. The engineer market dictates the terms of employment. It seems that, based on this, remote is h

The problem is much deeper unfortunately. If they banned IMSI catchers it just makes the job marginally harder. When I mean marginally I truly mean MARGINALLY. Right now a police officer can fire up some software, draw a selector box around

Signal isn't overloaded. It's use here is the same as it's use elsewhere. It just requires contextual information to know what it means. A Qt programmer might think of signals and slots, a UNIX programmer might think of UNIX

Their ESG score tells me otherwise. They can single handedly destroy a company or industry with this score. They control trillions in investment capital. They have seats in the largest governments. You are either legitimately shilling for y

It's not misinformed at all. The US's involvement in the Ukraine war is strictly along party lines. The Biden's have been involved in Ukraine at nearly every level for decades now. There are several high profile politicians i

The main driver of RICO, however, wasn't to stop racketeering. It provided the provisions for the FBI to pursue mob bosses for hits they ordered. Prior to RICO it was very difficult to throw a mob boss in jail for such things. All we n

It is interesting that we can use RICO go to after mob bosses even when they have layers and layers of indirection to protect them. But with CEOs it seems RICO doesn't apply.

These interviews are not gutchecks. They are shibboleth checks. I can design you a nice document, do the research, put the pieces together, etc with the big picture. I may not know a ton about AWS or another cloud provider but I can put the

Yeah, I don't think I want a job that asks such questions. I've done the webscale BS. I've done actual architecture that exists in reality. At this stage in my career there's nothing an interviewer can do but insult me.

The ACM has a strict code of conduct. If an engineer commits an atrocious error their PE will be stripped. Violating the computing rights of literally the entire planet should be similarly egregious. It is not twitter mobs. Its about hold

I meant that we should have stripped it away. Sorry that was not clear.

You might be able to handwave some things in politics. They're either too old, too lazy, etc. They're just politicians trying to find a nice box to put everything into because otherwise you can't make laws. It's the fund

I am generally happy and successful. However, my childhood was filled to the gills with trauma. So much so I visited a therapist and they immediately identified it. It emerges as rampant pessimism and distrust of anyone and everyone. It&#x2

How is this any different than with a hotel? Imagine you send an employee to a place where they have to stay in a hotel. Then, they trash it. REALLY trash it. Trash it so bad that it takes actual time to repair. The hotel will likely use th

A lot of fluff in this post's comments. I will be brutally honest and simply say there is nothing better. The "intellectual" argument falls flat. I do not consider myself "enlightened" in any respect yet I find the

For many of us, including myself, such a "luxury" is not practical: 1. I like the outdoors and they don't put bus lines 200 miles from the nearest gas station. 2. Work is often further than walking or biking distance. 3. I ne

I see that politics is your entire personality. Sorry for offending something so deeply meaningful to you. I used it as an example and your moronic pseudo-intellectual deep-read into the psychology of my post lead to your conclusion.

Mob programming is such an asinine concept to me. It's like all the people saying holotropic breathwork cures cancer. It's just developer mysticism. There is no amount of himing and hawing that would get me to believe treating one

This is nonsense. There is no paradox. Some people don't do good with remote, some people do good with it. I was a junior engineer when open office work was the norm. I can tell you right now nothing was harder on my ability to learn t
