That's because Software as a job has become a joyless death march to poop out casino flavored adware for 99% of the industry? Go launch the Temu app and imagine being on the team t…

Funny thing about diffusion systems: they can't paint. You're not talking about the joy of painting, because no machine is here to take that away. That still exists, it is still jo…

Oh I did. I got rid of it. Inspiring both constant censure and the kind of response you're giving drove me to despair. I don't write things for public consumption now. But we're no…

As I read it the op said, "I don't like how they changed this license, this is a bad direction and I didn't think there was adequate transparency." And your rebuttal is, "Well you …

> Where have I lied about anything here? You're either wrong or lying about the idea that famous mathematical discoveries have not been financed by governments historically. You're…

I wish that more people understood that if they're very wrong/openly lying about the history of scientific achievement, they're probably in the wrong about their conclusions regard…

In the interest of historical accuracy, Newton's work was directly and indirectly subsidized by his government as was the university he attended (that later gave him partial schola…

If you like these kinds of games but find SPD to be a little too mechanically simple and lacking in build diversity, you may also enjoy DCSS (dungeon crawl stone soup) and my perso…

And look at how well it's going for Claude. Their primary claim to fame is being called "an annoying coworker" and that's it. Why would anyone look to form a contract with Anthropi…

Google's strategy for search ux is decidedly not "nimble and rapid" and I don't understand why anyone with first hand knowledge would ever suggest that.

For one, that "deprioritize a competitor" is not clear at all. Why would that be so? Isn't it far more likely, given the rarity of these events, that a test regression occurred or …

Hi. I helped write some of the internal postmortem and manage the data plane side of the team that responded to this. Please allow me to reassure you: No. Absolutely not in this ca…

Well, part of this is on us. Let's think on the reasons Gmail is so popular: 1. It's very easy to get to. 2. It has incredibly fast search that has 0 setup. We have never really ev…

I wonder if many folks who only joined the world of software development after DVCSs (and indeed, just VCSs) became popularized can understand why Fetchmail was not trivial to fork…

The issue here is that: 1. It's very clear that his office has no qualms with filing cases that include untrue statements. 2. It's also the case that this group of claimants is str…

Really, so this quote by ewmiller that I responded to: > I wonder how long my employment would last if I just stopped doing a good job and then said that as a response to any effor…

We're not talking about 3rd party opinions here, we're talking about colleagues at the same institution being aggressive and destructive with professional designers.

It would be great if it was brought up constructively. However, this thread appears to be about mocking the concept of psychological safety in the workplace.

Obviously I do, and I note several replies here that strongly suggest that's how other people took it as well.

And yet that's almost certainly what people were describing by mocking the notion of psychological safety in the workplace.

The notion of being passionate without being derisive just isn't an option, I guess?

It's amazing to me that something as innocuous as, "Professional conduct includes at least an attempt at constructive criticism as opposed to venting" is now a heretical concept on…

Cool design, but is this novel? Canakit has been doing this for the whole year.

If a San Francisco denizen says to you, "I stepped in human poop" you don't say, "Pics or it didn't happen." That's becuse it's a common occurrence. It's plausible it happened. The…
