Live in Salt Lake City now. Blowing red lights is like a sport here it seems.

Apparently chat around the water cooler was the real source of all of their innovation. It’s worth $600 an hour.

This is why I knew how to be a frontend engineer at one point in life but never pursued it past the early 2000s. The brainpower wasted on web layout is immense.

Many in America get life sentences for drug offenses. This happened recently - https://www.npr.org/2021/04/22/989822872/supreme-court-rejec... This does not feel like enough.

The ads on that site made me give up on the article.

> The building was purchased, "refurbished" and the rent was reset to a very high number. And if someone was willing to pay that number, then that's what the place was worth.

If their opinion of you is dependent upon that, that fact just might be worth its weight in gold.

This would be too heavily influenced by confounding factors. For instance: * Are the teams that use certain languages comprised of more experienced people? * How mature is the comp…

Additionally, the vast majority of startups I've worked for, and am aware of, will not file the paperwork to let you 83b. AND, if you bring it up, they will probably tell you polit…

Charge me money, for content. Ala NYTimes, WaPo, Wall Street Journal, etc. Also, I'd say it's a false dichotomy of "monetize" vs. "use every dark pattern and brings-browsers-to-the…

Since pretty much every engineer under the sun knows this experience sucks, how can we attribute this to anything other than the rise of MBAs running the show?

If you're an existing AppEngine standard user/customer, it's pretty likely that that means you will not be able to take advantage of PostgreSQL, as the new runtime does NOT give yo…

Then they should update their docs.

Hipchat took standard IRC, and added some interface fluff, youtube links, and emojis. They achieved great market footprint. Then Slack starts up later - makes literally the same ex…

Why should there even be a "compromise"? My employer gives me free health care. Should that be restricted so I have to spend my own dollars and not get the benefit of a group plan?…

Man - California, specifically the Valley, is completely off its rocker when it comes to policy making. I really hope Amazon's new HQ helps pave the way to start de-centralizing th…
