Not only the steps do to this properly would probably kill most companies, but investors would avoid such company like the plague. They'd basically need to lose all protection on t…

Given Arduino's origin and first history this is especially depressing. Good old Adriano is now well and buried.

So you disapprove of the decision, but would have enforced it in the most asinine way at the expense of actual productivity. I just hope to never work with you and, especially, nev…

I already agree with the DSA, there's no need to sell it to me

I you were a manager there and would approve that metric, no worries, I'd manage to fly it past you. Any smart manager, having to deal with this kind of policy, would either push b…

You need good quantitative measures, not just random numbers. If you sell, say, water bottles, you probably want to know how many of them you can sell at any given moment, in order…

Even professionals have limits. I've worked in companies with the kind of management which kept adding this bad proxy metrics and pushing initiatives which had a totally expectable…

Malicious compliance is exactly what you get when people think your target is stupid and you put some automated, non-negotiable measurement in place. If I was a developer there, I'…

Are you seriously asking this question in 2023? Nobody makes web pages anymore, just make an app and require access to a ton of user data just to sell them for shady purposes.

Italian government and enshittification, name a more iconic duo, I'll wait. They built (more correctly, paid) for the IO app for it to be the one touch point for interacting with t…

In general, they tend to get snapped up by other corporate roles, either officially (which at least grants them the pay benefits associated with the role) or unofficially. I know a…

I'll agree that publishers (especially of academic stuff) deserve even a cent for every book sold the moment they do something useful in the whole publication process. Because at t…

That's true for basically all the "gig economy" apps, which are just enormous money sinks which fuck over (disrupt, according to their propaganda) whatever market they enter and th…

> This was simply the cattle waking up and realizing that they are the ones with the actual power. Any power a CEO claims to have is simply voodoo. The issue is employees still don…

Well, yes, until the stuff which has to be delivered by the people sucked in to do support stuff starts lagging and missing deadlines. Then, suddenly, lots of people start being re…

They've been doing it randomly for a while.

I have lots of complaints about this website, but seeing how quickly things get solved when you're getting a bad rep in the whole damned industry is always fun.

Yeah, if OP was getting popular (and getting money out of it), the account would have become a juicy target. And LinkedIn had probably put it in some "extra checks" list for the sa…

I've got a FP3 (so the older model) and I have had no problems with any app. I don't use Tinder, but Whatsapp works as good as on any phone I've ever owned. As for the cheapness, I…

But they aren't. As we see here, there was a pretty solid wall of consensus saying that the sub was a death trap. Heck, the reason why it was the only submarine built with carbon f…

I don't consider that space a competitor, it's just a fan-run forum for people to discuss some gaming stuff. I still consider the growth of the forum as a net positive (because it'…

> The most similar reddit alternatives (kbin, lemmy, specialized forums) have been growing as quickly as they possible could under the circumstances. I'm a mod in a niche forum whi…

Yeah, but they care about reading the stuff written by the API users. Most of the monetizable users are passive readers of content written by power users. Lose the power users and …

I've been trying journaling in one form or another for about 15 years now and found it completely, utterly useless. I've lost count of the number of journals, either physical or di…

That's where Brussels is located. It makes sense to have your lobbying office near the offices of the institutions you want to lobby. Less time spent travelling.
