Fully agree and am pretty disappointed reading replies on here. Anyone familiar with the demographics of this forum? What % male is it? If you have women in your life, ask their thoughts on this. It’s easy to not understand problems that do

This is semantic nitting and wastes time when for all practical intents and purposes humans understand the assertion being made and find it agreeable.

Plan for the evisceration of public services in the interest of privatizing them to enrich a select group of capital owners.

This stood out to me as well. A pitfall for experts in one field to assume their skills are transferable.

The entire point is that experts are doing this triage for you, and building upon fruitful lanes of research. To think that as an outsider to a field you are qualified to discover 'gems' (and between the lines here is a bit of a

I suspect it’s 2. Local organizational optimizations to garner promotions for middle-managers and without regard for systemic impact.

I don’t think it reads that way either. Inclined to think they didn’t read it.

Job market seems healthy for anyone with sufficient experience. My company is hiring, my inbox is slammed with companies hiring. And this is for product engineering and leadership. The market is cold for juniors, and unclear when/how t

The competitive disadvantage RTO companies have is trying to hire locally. We have the pick of the best engineers from around the country (in some cases, world) because we pay bay area (startup adjusted) salaries regardless of where you l
