We have someone on our team who maintains and develops a repository that is basically ran as a OSS project that directly services our main product.

It’s wonderful. With guaranteed longevity and having internal devs as the customer, things like on boarding are a snap. The documentation is comprehensive and there’s a slack channel monitored 24:7 for questions and onboarding.

He just seems like someone who was incapable of enjoying anything he couldn’t perfect, including people. I wonder how he viewed his daughter, someone directly from his own matter but so alien to himself.

This one always cuts too close to home

This bleeds into their North American operations too. Nowhere else in my career have I seen a more wretched hive of incestual politicking, inefficiency, lack of respect for lower workers, and obsession with beaucracy at Panasonic’s American operations

I figure they thought they weren’t going to be always cheaper than AWS

I feel at a certain level of leadership in large companies, you just make it into the club and no matter what you do, some other large company will pick you up due to the same mindset of "no one ever got fired for buying IBM".

The last SVP of my working org dropped the ball so hard our client walked away from hundreds of millions of dollars in hardware and infrastructure just to be done with it. He got canned then picked up by a similar company inside two months with the same title.

Eh any company who engages in marketing imo has entered the thunder dome of public opinion. They can’t have their brand be a one way communication channel

God bless whoever wrote tests before you. Whether it be a rewrite or working on the current code base, those who have the time and resources and don't write tests are inexcusable and bad stewards

Boulder ain’t cheap itself, but at least you can live fairly close to it for fairly cheap.

How the tables have turned since the and bulldozer days

I feel bad for lower level workers there. Anyone who had options to work elsewhere I have no mercy for. Anyone in the product team responsible for the ideation of marketing to children, can eat shit.

Donated. Cute doggies. Hope your friend and her coworkers are safe.

Blind is the resource I use now to scratch the same itch

Anyone have experience with https://www.chromaticqa.com/

Seems like a great solution

Sounds like most open source apps

aws pipeline is one more cloudformation template, very low investment

I'd agree except I have friends in sales and almost unilaterally they were told to keep coming into the office, despite their entire job being done from phones and computers. Theres a pretty toxic culture in sales where everything is war, and you have to show how committed you are everyday.

Great project, very clever

At one point I had 3 or 4 mandatory meetings a week, totaling 9 or 10 hours a week.

I think it was a side effect of the scrum coaches having little work to do, so we would have planning meetings with the whole team, even if nothing in your domain was on the schedule for the meeting. We also re-defined primative agile concepts every week, as in we would have to debate what a bug, task, or chore meant, every week.

When I raised the concept of meetings only involving those who it concerned, or even better, letting a workflow develop organically, I was accused of being lazy and not committed. In a lot of manager heavy orgs, the culture is that meetings are what productivity is measured by, and more visible.

Can someone clue me in on the benefit of Netlify over say, S3 bucket fronted by cloudfront? Seems like the cloudfront solution is much cheaper with not much more dev time investment

Internet terrorism?

I’d say Facebook does much more than have limited editorial control. They dictate what you see, malicious Intent or not

how do you grade? If my professor was grading based on picking a random PR/commit and asking me to talk through the problem and changes, I don't think i could pull off cheating

when i heard that i just assumed 1Pass wants to become a full blown identity provider

Getting real 40k Tyranid vibes

this is news to me, everything I read pointed to palm oil causing deforestation

When I introduce it to a new team, leaving js/jsx as valid and making TS optional is usually good enough. Whether through peeking at your TS code or just being curious, usually they come around, and if not, they are still responsible for their code. The tradeoff is theirs to make

browsing the shelves and just being around tech is soothing for me. and the feeling of walking out with a bunch of boxes too. for something i enjoy like tech i like to savor the whole experience

get into alpining and trad multipitch. Best way to learn a ton of knots, rope systems, and cool tricks!
