I appreciate the clarity and correction offered!

Big fan of Will Larson's book. I once recommended it to an Eng director I worked under who had foisted 5 reorgs in four years on his team, and had proposed a sixth. I didn't last long there as a subordinate leader. The tales I hea

I thought the KBA was an amendment to US statutory law, not an 'agreement' between nations? What are the other laws and agreements to which you're alluding to, but weren't referenced in the article?

Which the article indicates, at least as it relates to the US and her companies, is no longer the case: > In July 2020, the KBA was dropped, and now the US government allows American companies to provide far higher-quality images of the

So the whole "quitting smoking" thing was...a happy coincidence? Did you go cold turkey? What were the nicotine withdrawal nightmares like? I had fierce ones when I quit

Ninja edit: Anyone else find it crazy the value went from $100k in 2017 to $259k in 3 years? Absolute insanity to go up $160k in three years. You should take a look at the Austin Texas housing market between 2008-2012

I thought this sounded familiar and had to Google things and because I initially thought this was the same person I read about in 2020 who had this happen to them. Instead it was the same behavior happening to a different homeowner. https

There are a lot of really interesting assumptions and projections being made about a number of classes of people going on in this mindset. But okay. Thanks for clarifying and sharing your perspective.

When you put it like that...I still think the strip club comparison was weird because I can think of at least one other other common and far less contentious career-path with an interview/try-out process similar to this: Acting . Is

Love the coincidence of laying on my couch watching LGR on a Friday night at the very moment that I find a comment on HN talking about LGR.

I've been having this problem with push notifications for quite a few apps, but Slack just seems to genuinely do whatever the hell it wants, regardless of whatever I've set preferences to.

I like that dichotomy. If you or anyone else reading this have any thoughts on it, what are some good questions I ought to be asking during interviews to determine what kind of shop I'm talking to might be? That's been a real stru

See that makes sense, perhaps it make too much sense. My last two jobs I fought the same battles of "I discovered x, we really should do something about it because it can have really bad outcomes" and having the concern depri&#x

I actually did not miss that part, but thanks for calling it out regardless. The question was instead borne out of curiosity as to know how the follow up and subsequent discussions fare even with CYA in pocket. What has your experience been

by yaml-ops-guy 5y ago
I see. Maybe I'm overthinking it (this happens sometimes, I'm working on it), but waiting around for a security crisis to happen when a solution is in sight, even when facing difficulty prioritizing the work seems dangerous to one

How do the conversations typically go when asked "did you know this could happen"/"did we see this coming" or has no one bothered to ask that question yet during the RCA process?

I don't know what Basecamp's books look like, I don't have the clairvoyance to know what they will look like in the future.. humor a speculative question for a moment: would the "better deal" have been to give emplo

I think we may have differing ideas as to what "DEI" work consists of; because to your response, that work sounds like the typical duties of an HR officer in collaboration with corporate counel, not necessarily, and not specifical
21.
by yaml-ops-guy 5y ago
Yes. I read that. And what I am flatly pondering is what that "responsibility" could possibly consist of, if the topics inherent to DEI are now not to be had at basecamp.
22.
by yaml-ops-guy 5y ago
So is the DEI officer currently on staff going to cease being a DEI officer and just 'stick to HR' stuff, if politics and topics adjacent are out the window?

by yaml-ops-guy 5y ago
Ah ok, perhaps I fixated on the curt "I disagree", for a moment too long.

Couldn’t possibly be a confluence of all the above? Not even in the tiniest degree?

I’m very glad we’re only screwing over “some” people, good to have that cleared up, thank you for that...it’s still an abominable practice to put any amount of laborers through.

I showed this to my gal pal, an animal surgeon of 12 years. She's still laughing. Also: How does one shove their arm down a dog's mouth if the dog's mouth is already busy biting the non-free arm?

I can see a few (a lot) of differences between a phone book and Facebook in this analogy.

I’ve always found it ironic when coming across discussions of people’s frustration with Agile (uppercase A) only to see the “you’re doing it wrong” comment-which I’ve seen often right Here on HN, among other places. Mainly because wasn’t on

Am I doing myself a disservice by actively avoiding shops that want to go down the k8s road? Asking in interviews questions like “how many namespaces are you managing or expecting to manage” and often times teams are talking about a single
