Not only the steps do to this properly would probably kill most companies, but investors would avoid such company like the plague. They'd basically need to lose all protection on their product, making it a de facto open source (note th

Given Arduino's origin and first history this is especially depressing. Good old Adriano is now well and buried.

So you disapprove of the decision, but would have enforced it in the most asinine way at the expense of actual productivity. I just hope to never work with you and, especially, never use anything you helped building.

I you were a manager there and would approve that metric, no worries, I'd manage to fly it past you. Any smart manager, having to deal with this kind of policy, would either push back or approve any way to game it and then get the work

You need good quantitative measures, not just random numbers. If you sell, say, water bottles, you probably want to know how many of them you can sell at any given moment, in order to not overbook and have to reimburse people. In this cas

Malicious compliance is exactly what you get when people think your target is stupid and you put some automated, non-negotiable measurement in place. If I was a developer there, I'd totally started adding those generated tests. I have

Are you seriously asking this question in 2023? Nobody makes web pages anymore, just make an app and require access to a ton of user data just to sell them for shady purposes.

Italian government and enshittification, name a more iconic duo, I'll wait. They built (more correctly, paid) for the IO app for it to be the one touch point for interacting with the government, then started cutting off features from i

In general, they tend to get snapped up by other corporate roles, either officially (which at least grants them the pay benefits associated with the role) or unofficially. I know a lot of great coders who ended up doing anything but code be

I'll agree that publishers (especially of academic stuff) deserve even a cent for every book sold the moment they do something useful in the whole publication process. Because at this moment, their contribute is negative. Until then (w

That's true for basically all the "gig economy" apps, which are just enormous money sinks which fuck over (disrupt, according to their propaganda) whatever market they enter and then either collapse leaving a rotting corpse w

Well, yes, until the stuff which has to be delivered by the people sucked in to do support stuff starts lagging and missing deadlines. Then, suddenly, lots of people start being really unhappy (usually at the expenses of the people who were

I have lots of complaints about this website, but seeing how quickly things get solved when you're getting a bad rep in the whole damned industry is always fun.

Yeah, if OP was getting popular (and getting money out of it), the account would have become a juicy target. And LinkedIn had probably put it in some "extra checks" list for the same reason, thus triggering the ID check.

But they aren't. As we see here, there was a pretty solid wall of consensus saying that the sub was a death trap. Heck, the reason why it was the only submarine built with carbon fiber is something an engineering undergrad can grasp at

I don't consider that space a competitor, it's just a fan-run forum for people to discuss some gaming stuff. I still consider the growth of the forum as a net positive (because it's a cool space which has produced cool things

Yeah, but they care about reading the stuff written by the API users. Most of the monetizable users are passive readers of content written by power users. Lose the power users and the readers will follow. Maybe not immediately, but they wil

That's where Brussels is located. It makes sense to have your lobbying office near the offices of the institutions you want to lobby. Less time spent travelling.

While this is a legitimate consideration, what EU regulators are doing right now is a step behind: they're trying to ensure that European data doesn't get syphoned out for shiny baubles again. Anybody setting up an European chatGP
