    Well if you can't, then I guess we shouldn't be complaining about feeding brains and average employees who just want to follow specs

    This just sounds like someone who can't write good specs

    It's because defining requirements is someone else's job, so if you get involved, you will be doing part of their job while you might already be working at your capacity. The Agile…

    How sure are you they are incompetent vs. just not giving any fucks/disconnected from the job and there to get paid (it's objective one after all!) This seems a little inconsistent…

    It would be nice if only the people with real conviction were doing things by choice, but that isn't realistic. Most people are compelled to have a job, and the system has no guara…

    There's two abuses in this system you have to watch out for: - being presented under-cooked ideas so you do the thinking for them. - too many ideas (which can lead to the first) wi…

    They should remove the L4 from the job post title if that's the case, or replace it with (L1 - L7) so it's clear it's for broad levels of experience

    How far are they going to go to validate it’s legit if you make one up? But say you don’t want to forge one for just any company because that might not be legal. You could make you…

    Most people don't know what a $400k Security Engineer actually does to warrant that pay because you can probably find a similar job at another company that pays much less and proba…

    You need specific hardware for Win 11. A motherboard for a Ryzen 7 I bought in only 2017 doesn't qualify.

    I doubt any military or strategically important applications will be regulated

    If you do it for yourself, that's great, but you should withhold the benefits of that from the company if they aren't going to reward you for being better.

    But why should any of us bother picking up new skills and adjusting mindsets if the author has to fight for a raise after saving the company $500k? Secondarily, why should the auth…

    My guess is they aren't seeing how much they're going to need for retirement (maybe it's much cheaper in Finland than the US), or have not thought about it, or have accepted/decide…

    Comment #38090547

    The biggest looming factor is that many jobs in the US are at-will employment, so while people can have good intentions and share those with you, the person or company can turn aro…

    I just don't see it mattering long-term. We bounced back from the dotcom crash to even higher levels. Same with other downturns. The importance of tech hasn't declined any. There a…
