Yeah that’s a correct point, bad mental arithmetic there. There are a few other unrealistic things too, but they fall in the other direction. Like I think it’s almost impossible to spend only 30 mins to leave my front door, get in the car,

Super normal. Let’s say at the simplest, you take 30 mins to get ready to leave from waking up, 30 mins from front door to sitting at your desk, 30 mins to get to bed and sleep that’s 2 hours of your 24 just kinda handling the bare function

To me a direct HR person is much less trustworthy than a manager with whom you’ve established a good track record. The manager’s behavior is incentivized completely differently depending on the company - sometimes it’s legitimate to manage

I’m careful like this to a point, but you can establish trust with managers. Most decent cultures don’t favor hoarding good employees how you’ve described. > It's ridiculous to think that helping you build a successful career, which

You’ve only wasted the 4 hours if you didn’t spend them doing something else. At 50/50 it’s an ok bet if the debugging time is much less than the total human time, even if the loops are long, you might rather 4 hours of deep work on an

Wouldn’t that run afoul of other rules like keeping visual order and tab order the same? Screen reader users are used to skip links & other standard navigation techniques.

But surely it’s debatable whether increased short term revenue benefiting shareholders this year is better or worse than longer term plays with the chance of higher returns later, or that avoiding some sources of revenue for ethical reasons

All depends on the person, their goals, their expectations, the experiences they want to have. Agree we should not deceive anybody that doing this would make them rich or have a successful business. Most startups fail, startups by new colle

Out of curiosity what’s wrong with talking about “the business”? I hear it plenty but I have totally neutral feelings about it.

I’m baffled by this because I think it’s funny - it’s why did the chicken cross the road, but with added absurdity. To me I’d be like “wow that 4 year old put a twist on the old chicken joke, nice work you hilarious child”.

Yes the reverse makes much more sense to me. AI help to spec out the software & then the code has an accepted definition of correctness. People focus on this way less than they should I think

Analysis in the last 5-10 years has shown the Dunning-Kruger effect may not really exist. So it’s a poor basis on which to be judgmental and condescending.

This is the common wisdom about frameworks but I think it ignores the wastage & other side effects around frameworks and the things they make easy or difficult. Many of the decisions made in any framework will represent guardrails for t

The idea that politics shouldn’t be in a place for “tech stuff” is like saying water should not be discussed in a place for “fish stuff”. Politics is already in tech and has large effects. It’s a part of the stuff.

So many assumptions here. As a candidate, I’ve had situations where I got two offers at the same time. BOTH offers were acceptable, both good companies, and I’m confident I would have been happy and successful in either place. With all that

This seems kinda unworkable. If I make you an offer today, you may need time to review it, you might want to let your other interview processes complete and then negotiate, and ultimately you might choose another offer. In the meantime I ne
