Github has lost trust. This wasn’t an isolated incident.

There's currently no way to have a private issue queue associated with a public project. This is exactly the sort of structural problem with the product that I'm talking about. They make it very easy to do dangerous things and ver

Today everyone's talking about the availability problems, but GitHub has a much bigger problem which is that its way of modeling work is not aligned with how people need to work with agents. I think the social value of GitHub has alway

X’s revenue is down by 2/3 from the acquisition peak. That’s all you need to know about whether the decline was real or not.

Sorry you are having a rough search. I was part of a large layoff so I know plenty of people who’ve been through it recently, some more than once if they went into another company that then had layoffs. I’d say the average search in my circ

A small percent of tech workers struggling to get a job doesn’t change the overall picture that most people working in tech are living relatively prosperous and comfortable lives. We are paid at a level that means we don’t feel stressed at

Not as I understand it. When I've seen this discussed, a "logout requirement" has usually meant some stakeholder thinks they need a way to prevent previously issued access tokens from being used even though the tokens are sig

The more confidently people make blanket pronouncements, the less you should believe them. There are a lot of use cases for OAuth2 and OIDC that are not covered by “just use a web session”. The real thing to push back on is the logout requi

I don't think this specifically is a great example of "being mean", but in the broader ecosystem it's definitely a problem that can wear down maintainers over time. I think it boils down to a widespread sense of entitlem

It’s basically impossible to rent a place worth living in Boston without paying a broker fee. Even the listings you find yourself on craigslist won’t rent to you unless you pony up the fee. When I rented a place in Cambridge in 2019, the re

Could be, I'm not really old enough to remember how linear TV dealt with new television series. Perhaps it is mainly a problem of perception. When you turn on the hotel TV and see a Law & Order rerun playing for the umpeenth time y

I don't follow it closely enough to know. I would assume because the child actors were aging out of their roles.

> a graveyard of prematurely canceled originals This is the crux of the issue for me. I lost interest in even trying new Netflix shows because they developed a reputation for cancelling lots of good, not great, shows with loyal following

I hear what you’re saying, but I think maybe we just have different standards for what counts as acceptable quality.

I find this difficult to believe; no matter how small your camera is, photography is about light. Art reproduction photography is surprisingly hard to do if you care about the quality of the end result. Unless you can surreptitiously smuggl

I tend to agree. There’s too much room for subjectivity in this definition for it to be a useful statistic. Physical violence is relatively unambiguous and severe, but these emotional/verbal boundaries have no clear definition. My moth

If they ended the conversation after a modest ask like that, you probably dodged a bullet. I bet they are also miserly at every annual review.

If you consider that almost nobody gets a job without going through some rejection, it is. It's a stochastic process, and every interview is another roll of the dice.

Hang in there. Every rejection is bringing you one step closer to your ultimate goal.

Of the people I know who got laid off in the last year, pretty much everyone got a job after seriously pursuing one for 3 or 4 months. By seriously pursuing I mean preparing, applying, networking, and interviewing for >20 hours per week.

I suppose part of the challenge here is that music and video content holds value much longer. Studios can invest in music and video content and see a return from the catalog over a long period of time as more enduring hits are produced and

Good to know, I wasn't aware. But if you're storing passwords, TOTP seed, and recovery codes all in the same shared password vault, it's not really multi-factor anymore. It's security theatre.

While I'm not against security and 2FA in general, making PyPI 2FA mandatory ahead of any kind of org support is a major pain for big projects with more than one maintainer. This week I was forced to link my company's pypi account

If your time is so valuable, why are you spending it creating throwaway accounts just to hate on somebody else's content? If you don't like it, just move on. You're not adding anything to the conversation here.

Having worked with a huge Jenkins deployment at a large company somewhat recently (>10,000 jobs), I found it worked okay enough that company leadership never felt it was worth the pain if switching. But all the friction points added up t

Familysearch took down a photo of my grandparents because it they were kissing. It is the only picture I have of that grandfather, but they say no PDA of any kind allowed so I guess his appearance will just be lost to history. Pretty weird

The OP seems to think we should approach cover letters with the same care as if we were writing the great American novel. I disagree. They are meant to be somewhat canned, but a good one will efficiently direct the reviewers attention to th
