Typically nurses are women. Typically women are married to men. Men worthy of a relationship or marriage to begin with typically have an income significantly higher than min wage, potentially capable of sustaining a family on his own. Nurse

We have never found a cave painting of a loaf of bread. It was all hunting animals for meat. This is absolutely delusional.

Is there even any evidence that RN or Flutter are better for smaller budgets? Like actual data that doesn't live in the mind of a RN/Flutter enthusiast?

As a user I certainly appreciate it, but I think the actual content being delivered plays a much larger role than how many milliseconds its delivered in.

The fact that they have people optimizing that obsessively is an indication of how little real work there is to be done. The thing plays videos, its played videos for years upon years, and all that's left in engineering terms seems to

They did need them at one point. And the product was successful enough that nobody in management ever had to get around to cost cutting, in the cases of Netflix, Facebook, etc. But that doesn't mean engineers are doing anything impor

Totally agree. I have wondered what exactly engineers at... Netflix, for example, do on a day to day basis. The product plays videos, right? Its played videos for...years. Their newer features are pretty clear overengineering efforts li

You don't see why maintaining a work environment wouldn't be necessary if the entire company were allowed to work from home?

I guess that's why you have multiple slack channels instead of one. You're trying to justify paying someone over 100 grand a year to be a worse form of communication than the software you're already paying for to communicate

by ranci 6y ago
How exactly does it help to pass communications through a person (the manager) that, for the most part, does not understand the technical details of which they are speaking? We literally pay for slack for communication. No one needs an ar

And we should assume that there is an infinite number of industries for humans to constantly move onto why? It's not like there is a law of the universe that says there must always be more industries for humans to move once another in

Why in gods name would anybody pursue any of this if it resulted in the same amount of jobs, except the new jobs cost a company more money than the old ones? That is completely and utterly delusional.

only a programmer could produce such a pedantic comment such as this.

how in the hell would you "never detect a poor performer"? It's one of the most obvious things about the workplace if it is going on.

So that it weeds out rational, reasonable, honest people and the company can continue to receive people who are prone to overconfidence, lying, and other pro-social psychopathic traits.

"I find it strange, as software developers, that we discuss the effects on automation all the time, but no one seems to understand that automation has made searching for new employees incredibly inexpensive and efficient compared to th

Then you don't need the work associated with that job to be done very badly. Yet it will still be marketed as "an opportunity to change the world".

The last thing I want in a project I am working on is for the main programming language itself to be "an adventure'. Software development is hard enough, I don't need anymore "adventures" from the underlying langua

"Uh huh"? It would be a conspiracy to say that the unemployment rate does not have basically arbitrary rules built into it to discount people who are actually looking for work.

> Simply put: if a job is so repetitive that it can be automated out of existence, it's in the interest of humanity overall that it should be. Quite a different way of framing it than your original comment. Here you tout how it&#x

What I said is backed up by facts. How is it a conspiracy? The labor participation rate is 62.x. That means that 37% of the US is not employed. Fact, not a conspiracy. The unemployment rate has been manipulated for various reasons and i

"Free" them? They need that work in order to survive, mostly. They were "free" before having that menial job and that freedom didn't seem to help turn them into software engineers or nurses before...

More than 37% of the country does not have a job according to labor participation rate. The unemployment rate has been massaged and manipulated to the point where you need to stop citing it as a serious measurement of anything other than t
