"for a better experience" Do people writing this type of copy actually believe this?

You record the amount of time it takes people to do a crossword puzzle or play a game of chess. After a while you'll be able to make a distribution graph of how long it takes. Then…

The only reliable way to estimate is to find another relatively similar project and compare it to that. You can say stuff like this new project is roughly similar in scope to Proje…

How does it help with medium-term planning when it's just pointing tasks in one sprint?

"Truth is not truth" - Rudy Giuliani

Why is every sentence also a paragraph?

You can also call them and get it refunded after the fact

Green card holders can have their GC stripped for committing crimes. If free speech becomes a crime then the GC is at risk. Note - I don't agree with it but I think this is the log…

I had a similar experience. I worked for a place where if you worked 48 minutes more per day, you'd get every 2nd Friday off. This was a unionized place that was pretty strict abou…

How did you "run into each other, from time to time"? This seems to be the key part. There's research that shows that relationships are built via multiple, random encounters. Do yo…

IME I've found there to be the expectation that there's about 10-15% available for negotiation to make the candidate feel like they got a win. Of course, some exceptions may apply.…

I also just did a DEXA scan last week and the calculator is within ~2% so pretty good considering it's free and takes 1 minute.

I really doubt more than 10% of people do weightlifting and have high muscle density. It's likely closer to 0.1% which is why BMI is a good guideline over a group.

"I have not used the app"

So you mean when they resign instead that PIP no longer counts towards the manager's quota and they have to find someone else?

I moved away from Victoria to the US 5 years ago and don't regret it at all. Even as someone with only about 10 years of experience I felt like I was nearing the ceiling of earning…

The more interesting question though is why didn't timezones develop like this initially? In 1868 there was no telephone to call another continent. There was no airplane for fast t…

The same thing happened with the Fyre Festival. The organizers didn't face consequences from defrauding the people they sold tickets to. They face consequences from defrauding the …

What if the manager is bad? Metrics can help other people identify that a bad manager may not be identifying very good developers.

> You need objective, measurable signals if you are concerned that developers might be confused or lying. Otherwise you can just ask us In an organization with hundreds or thousand…

This is incredibly naive. Popular platforms receive a lot of horrific stuff being posted. Some things need to be censored. Without moderation every platform would dissolve into a r…

There's nothing on that page that mentions "no managers"

And a lot of taxpayers who are not voters (non-citizens).

Same experience. This is why I will no longer do take home tests that take more than 90 minutes or look like they'll take more than 90 minutes (even if the company misjudges it). T…
