So far 3 out of 5 items in the list have been called into question. Seems like an entire domain of knowledge might be a bit too broad to be summarized into listicles, even with the caveat that they are "rules of thumb".
A bag of flour would be noticeably better.
I didn't really believe in schadenfreude until this happened. Now, every day is filled with pleasure!
Don't forget to cook and eat that potato!
It's a magic trick!
Your sarcastic implication being that being good at managing car and space companies make him good at managing a social media company? Not only that, good enough to be better at it than his predecessor? Not only that,…
I am actually familiar with some of the research actually, but thank you for your condescendence. I didn't mean to imply that the SAT or grades are not predictive of future performance, only that lower socio-economic…
> Test scores are highly predictive Any study in this area that doesn't control for socio-economic factors is near useless, because it mainly predicts that children of successful (ie rich) people will likely grow up to…
It depends what the point is. You wouldn't let a motorcycle participate in a horse race. I think there's a place for AI art and it's fine if "manual art" remains the same. The difference can be arbitrary at times, but…
So your argument is Amazon is too dumb to be a threat? Even if we assume this is true for the present, seems very short-sighted to me.
> never found a legacy JS codebase that has a robust test suite, so any refactoring I do can be hard to test and verify. Wouldn't you just... make a test suite?
> Let me rent real servers, but expose it in a "serverless" "cloud-like" way, so I don't have to upgrade the OS and all that kind of stuff. I think you're describing platform-as-a-service? It does exist, but it didn't…
How to know if a Google project is getting shut down: Is it ad-related? If not, it's already dead and just doesn't know it yet.
Would you consider candidates outside the US? e.g. in Canada?
The article is paywalled, but this seems like a nothing burger. The point of ESG isn't to save the planet, it's to make the world a better place to live/work in. Union busting is bad for workers and therefore society at…
But every community has their rules. Just because they're cultural rules doesn't make them anymore debatable. You: Break user space. Linus Torvalds: We don't do that here. You: I feel excluded. Good? If you want to do…
Part of the issue with the mindset of never outsourcing mission-critical tasks is, if something is not important, why are we doing it? Do we just like wasting money? For example, if I work at an accounting firm and we…
Even if that were 100% true, people don't actually know what they want. "Business requirements" undeveloped in the minds of non-technical people are just ideas. There are immeasurable differences between what people…
In a way, writing software is translating human speech into machine speech. Any good software developer is fluent in the "machine" part, but trying to "translate" from a language (and culture) you don't master is a…
I agree, people who are only fluent in one language (and who don't study anthropology) tend to ignore the huge cultural factor in these things. Indian people already have a hard time getting hired in your own country,…
Wow, as lifelong web developer, you really got fleeced. This reads like a list of rookie mistakes to be honest, but not just on your side. Agencies should know when they're too big for a client, and they often do. It…
Any rational individual can see this is chicanery of the highest level. It takes an entire committee to be able to rationalize away the absurdity.
> I find/found the lack of colloquialisms one of the biggest problems with it. This is actually a big problem with how people perceive language in general. It's hard to understand if you only speak one language, but the…
As a PO, how do I tell my boss he hired the wrong person and needs to up his budget by 25% and delay development by 2 months while we hire and onboard someone better? The answer is I don't, because I like my job. Upping…
