Well if you can't, then I guess we shouldn't be complaining about feeding brains and average employees who just want to follow specs

It's because defining requirements is someone else's job, so if you get involved, you will be doing part of their job while you might already be working at your capacity. The Agile style user stories that often lack technical deta

How sure are you they are incompetent vs. just not giving any fucks/disconnected from the job and there to get paid (it's objective one after all!) This seems a little inconsistent to me. Is it really their fault if the industry s

It would be nice if only the people with real conviction were doing things by choice, but that isn't realistic. Most people are compelled to have a job, and the system has no guarantee of placing you in the job where you best fit. It&#

There's two abuses in this system you have to watch out for: - being presented under-cooked ideas so you do the thinking for them. - too many ideas (which can lead to the first) with an inability to focus There is a feedback loop for t

They should remove the L4 from the job post title if that's the case, or replace it with (L1 - L7) so it's clear it's for broad levels of experience

How far are they going to go to validate it’s legit if you make one up? But say you don’t want to forge one for just any company because that might not be legal. You could make your own company with a site and make offer letters that way.

Most people don't know what a $400k Security Engineer actually does to warrant that pay because you can probably find a similar job at another company that pays much less and probably makes you work more. I sure as fuck don't and

You need specific hardware for Win 11. A motherboard for a Ryzen 7 I bought in only 2017 doesn't qualify.

Better than companies doing their own thing and not having any restrictions or oversight at all. Remember that those companies will get rid of some portion of their workers as soon as they think an AI can do most of that work. Heck, they di

If you do it for yourself, that's great, but you should withhold the benefits of that from the company if they aren't going to reward you for being better.

But why should any of us bother picking up new skills and adjusting mindsets if the author has to fight for a raise after saving the company $500k? Secondarily, why should the author continue to fix things like this when they don't ben

My guess is they aren't seeing how much they're going to need for retirement (maybe it's much cheaper in Finland than the US), or have not thought about it, or have accepted/decided that they will work for more of their

by vsareto 3y ago
The biggest looming factor is that many jobs in the US are at-will employment, so while people can have good intentions and share those with you, the person or company can turn around and fire you for almost any reason. There's no pena

I just don't see it mattering long-term. We bounced back from the dotcom crash to even higher levels. Same with other downturns. The importance of tech hasn't declined any. There are plenty of tech companies to find good jobs at t

A bigger population just hasn't been trained properly. We have no controls for that, so people get lucky with disparate learning being just enough for their first job, then that turns into experience towards the next job. Then they fin
