Is this... a joke? Performance art? Not snarking. I'm honestly more confused reading this than I was before.

This. I was going to say essentially the same thing. Every adult who becomes a parent seems to realize very quickly that their parents also had no clue WTF was going on. So yeah, no different with what we do, since we're literally alwa

Also sounds exactly like what happened with tobacco companies, lead in paint/gasoline, etc. It's like we never learn and then those who are in charge made rules to make it even harder to learn as we went forward. Also that humans

This. Data engineering has ramped up significantly and if you want senior people you'll quickly run out of people who've been exclusively doing "big data" for 5+ years. So your options are either senior software engineer

This! Ten times this! Single dependencies like this are absolutely a risk management issue. I say this as someone who's both been a single point of failure at times (and learned my lesson) and someone who's had to clean up after

Ok that was a really fun read. It's amazing how many random things like this persist for centuries despite tons of evidence to the contrary existing.

We're all gonna die sometime. Some of us will starve from no food, others will have a heart attack from poor quality food. Eat Arby's.

Well that's a horrifying new option for our impending doom that I wasn't aware of. Happy Thursday. Eat Arby's.

Oh hey, this is essentially a plot point in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle books. Well, getting away from pirates, that is, but same idea.

This one is a double whammy not only because there's not only data on those companies, but it can be extrapolated that many of those companies are relatively new to the cloud (and possibly which cloud service is available as well), mak

Unless Hacker News is down, in which case you need to give up and go outside.

This! So much this! Can we please put away the Puritan bullshit ethics in the US that clearly keep getting exported? Those people were booted out a few centuries ago for a reason. Those "hard workers" that are successful usually

Yeah, that's a "Why not both?" situation right there. It does do important stuff for the business folks, and made it way easier for them in a really cool (at the time) way. They've gotten bigger via tons of acquisitions

Being forced into a management job with no direction or mentoring.

I've been saying this for years, so I'm glad I agree with the experts.

This! Windows got split up internally under Nadella into Azure and Office groups. If anything, a lot of this means they're also boosting Azure even more by doing the same thing with their enterprise database areas. This is a boon for

I think this is another one of those massive divergences in culture coming to a head. In SOME places, people are driving less and need to drive less. In other places, both farther suburbs and smaller areas, cars are no less essential than

Then these 60% of dudes are clearly unqualified for management. Please either figure your business out or make room for someone who is capable of management. And I say this because if a manager is that afraid of accusations, they are eithe

It's almost as if a few decades of being told that mental health is for wusses and making it exceedingly expensive due to crappy health care is paying off with a bang. Not to mention that middle aged people at this point are firmly in
