Most people just aren't cut out for it. To be a good manager you need to .... 1. Be willing to be wrong a lot and admit it 2. Show vulnerablility 3. Deal with constant setbacks and disappoinment Most people get the…
He meant to say "Famously Tucker Carlson claimed that the NSA spied on him". Given that the man is a bastion of journalistic and personal credibility I can't see any reason not to believe him /s
I think my favorite part of this discussion is that most developers give this sort of process/code a mystical vibe. Like it's some sacred code built by a priesthood of the world's greatest and smartest programmers. Not…
I don't know man. I am employed but I still get 64 recruiting emails a day. Seems like business as usual. FWIW I have never had luck with applications. The last time I was unemployed I sent out 10 or 15 and heard…
They are getting a bunch of negative press for rescinding job offers. This doesn't seem any better. Better would be just not hiring people you don't need and not chasing growth like an unmonitored heroin addict.
The issue is these businesses are hiring without strategy, consideration to risk, or proper forecasting. There should never be a situation within a fortune 100 business where the forecasting is so poor that offers are…
I don't know man. The attitude comes off as defeatist to me. I think most people with this outlook are engaging in self-sabotage. It's easier than putting themselves out there and risking failure. They don't try then…
This is exactly what I'm talking about. It can surprising why a business actually exists. It can be counterintuitive(i.e. the mcdonald's is actually a real estate company conundrum). Even the "Product Engineer" guy who…
For me I hate bosses, performance reviews, meetings, etc. I'm cantankerous and angry but I have always had a knack for finding and solving major problems on my own. From my experience if you have a track record of doing…
I don't know how your company works but at mine we have a profit target associated with our annual bonus. By eliminating that waste I am helping to ensure we hit that target so I get paid. Imagine if I let it slip and…
Maybe specifically for product engineers, but does that extend beyond the specific product that engineer is working on. Do you think a network engineer knee deep in a data center knows the margins on all the products? I…
I travelled to Yellowstone National Park. I wandered into the back country office and spoke with the ranger. She was super friendly and informative. One interesting fact she shared is that Yellowstone is almost 4,000…
>But this isn't just about cost. It's also about what kind of internet we want to operate in the future. It strikes me as downright tragic that this decentralized wonder of the world is now largely operating on…
I would like to see some real numbers on this. I spend between $5 and $6 million a year on infrastructure. I have a physical datacenter in a Colo and two clouds AWS and Azure. I have detailed KPIs on my spend. One of…
I just don't see this. Building what I am describing can be done in days sometimes hours. Where exactly is the time and complexity? I would be willing to bet given a true greenfield(e.g. I can't use an ansible script…
The problem with "don't buy things you can't afford" is that society really says "you don't deserve things you can't afford". Why is it that some brat that never worked a day in their lives can enjoy Avocado toast every…
Good luck with that "Free to Spend" category. It just turned into emergency fund 2.0 for me. One thing that allowed me to spend some money is the idea of diversifying my savings by purchasing assets. Rather than let…
When I read your postI can't help but read smart as "smart". You vacillate between holding their intelligence in esteem "but eventually I came to understand that he is so good at reading code..." and condescending "...…
please no AI is advanced enough to tackle vertical centering in CSS.
The jobs computers do today used to be done by "Human Computers". The same arguments were raised when these jobs were mechanized. It's the same cycle over and over. AI/ML is no silver bullet. It's just another…
I think git is wonderfully elegant and simple. I wish more people would take the time to sit down and understand it. It only takes maybe an hour or two. >Even a simple merge/rebase leaves one confused. I've never had…
Why build it when you can buy it? Right? The decision is more involved that this. The real question is... What is the shortest route to a sustainable, defensible revenue stream? In the 80's IBM built a super quick…
Discovering that there is nothing the be discovered is a discovery.
I don't believe you. If you wanted to hire me you wouldn't insist that I provide both my linkedin and resume despite being the same thing.
I think "nightmare" is a bit sensational. The LHC's purpose is not to "find X" it is to take measurements over a novel range of conditions. The new data is what we're after.
