When you say the "whole industry", which industry are you referring to? The entire technology sector? Venture-backed companies specifically? Growth-stage VC-backed specifically? Th…

Well I think that a proper implementation of "disagree and commit" differs significantly from what's described in the article. The author seems to be suggesting that rather than di…

Oh interesting, is it actually covered as part of the standard compulsory public school curriculum? Genuinely surprised, because here in Canada (Ontario) it's covered as an electiv…

Maybe this depends on the framing? Ex. 18 months is fairly common in some circles, but that could alternatively have been expressed as a year and a half. 6-12 months? Red flag 12-2…

At least in the factory I worked in prior to becoming a software engineer, there was a significantly higher component of physical risk than in any of the software jobs I've worked …

Well, I think in the context of the parent comment, separating out housing would risk overstating changes in its effect on purchasing power because increases to housing would alrea…

I see your point, and think one of the merits in OP's argument is precisely what you're saying: words have meaning, and saying something like "I think that X is probably the case" …

Interesting, I regularly use chat-based support on amazon.ca to speak with (what I presume is) a real human after none of the control flow paths adequately resolve my issue. I've a…

Unsure about whether the specific dealership in question supports online booking, but there existing consumers whose preference is for a phone call over a web-based experience is d…

My read of the comment wasn't that he was "blaming" either, but explaining where the fees come from. It sounds like the direct increase to the consumer's prices is done by the rest…

So I agree that your inference is probably correct, but it is worth pointing out that the rate which a sex experiences X from their intimate partners isn't exactly the same as the …

How this issue skews probably depends on where you live, but in the area I live, I have the opposite complaint: that bicyclists should re-learn that they are legally required (in m…

I agree that for people who do that type of work, it's engineering For a typical fullstack dev building views, CRUDs, and simple DB schemas, less so And you're probably right that …

I agree that the work that CEs do in the vein of what you're describing is closer to my conception of engineering. I also don't think most people who call themselves a "software en…

I would say it depends on the specific role and project, but for most people who write code, likely not. Coming from a mechanical engineering background, I understood "engineering"…

War and Peace was the first book I read as an adult (at 19) and I was blown away. Definitely opened my mind as to how great a great book can be, and raised my standards for what I'…

Seemed like most of the examples would just be due to sloppy implementation / a lack of testing edge cases? This is a good lesson to take away I guess, but "defensive CSS" isn't ho…

I would hope so, at a minimum! I'm shocked that signing an affidavit in a court of law certifying the existence of made-up courses isn't simply criminal.

The relationship between a boss and an employee is so far removed from a classical single-round prisoner's dilemma that I don't think you'll draw reliably accurate conclusions from…

It's likely highly dependent on the individual. There's a lot of literature is beautiful, immersive, and speaks to deep universal truths that are harder to capture in other mediums…

Nonfiction: "Rationality: From AI to Zombies" by Eliezer Yudkowsky. It was a fantastic deep-dive into the topic, and despite being extremely long was very readable. Fiction: "Grape…
