Maybe a fish or crab hiding its eggs in the mud? At even distances whilst swimming/walking in some direction

(I don't think so :-) just a thought)

How were you compensated if I can ask?

Why have anyone on call in Finland then? If the companies pay full salaries anyway, can't they ask the person to work as usual then

(Or is there a 40 h/week limit or night work rules or something that prevents that?)

"No"?

Having found product market fit is a sign of competence. Being good at marketing is, too. Signs of.

Insightful comments, long ago. Yes wasn't it a bit like HN is today, back that long ago

> I just remembered the toxic comments

We tend to pay more attention to the negative and dangerous -- a survival thing, right (from when we were hunters and gatherers)

> But if they don't convince me I'm wrong, then I ignore them

What if, though, they convince others that you're wrong -- so no one wants to use your software?

(although it would have been helpful to many)

A different but similar saying could be:

"If you've found something that arouses interest and debate, you might be on to something"

And critique, or a gathering of enemies, is interest in something

(interest in the stuff the enemies in the game are guarding)

Lack of comments. Intolerable.

Lack of multiline indentation-ignored strings.

> can make the author of it feel smart for a second

Since this behavior is so common, apparently it works, evolutionary:

It makes others think your are smart, for a long while

And not much effort required, on your part. So, a great opportunity?

And the more popular the project you start bashing is, the smarter you'll seem? Corollary: If one builds something great, one will get dissed by some.

Where is the list?

> but I wish they shipped with a paired backup key that was provisioned with the same key material

Two identical keys, is less secure, for those who would otherwise have bought many different keys.

If you instead buy two different keys, then, when you lose the first, you can know it's safe to continue using the second one. And you can block the first one, without locking yourself out.

Maybe getting two different keys would be a good idea

Why don't you trust Asus?

Thanks. Hmm, that can be interpreted as if there's no way to be sure about remote job applicants. Since no one one knows knows them

(I don't mean for a CEO role, just in general)

> All that I see nowadays is corporate drama

Wow! How large is the organization?

(At what levels of management does such behavior become annoyingly prevalent?)

Sometimes, bugs can even be helpful to humanity? Imagine a World of Warcraft bug that broke the game for a week, forcing the WoW addicts to go out and see the sunshine

Definitely I wouldn't feel much pressure, as a WoW dev (had I been one).

That's not what GP matwood said. Instead, 1) find good engineers. And later 2) leaders will emerge from those.

And, giving everyone in the company a bit soft skills & planning & management etc practice & courses can make that process work even better.

Eg everyone reads Good Strategy, Bad Strategy. And everyone reads The Great CEO Within.

What are examples of things/changes the C-levels did?

How do you know if a reference is trustable? (Reference checking the references maybe is one thing?)

I didn't downvote but I think sometimes work is just plain fun, sometimes been looking forward to go to work. And nice coworkers, was looking forward to see. Not so much suffering here :-)

(Sometimes boring++ too of course, especially once at a big corp)

Almost like a kind of cartel? But about CXO salaries instead of prices of goods

Unless all companies do things in such ways, equally inefficient

(I mean, if powerful execs get lots of money everywhere? almost)

Indeed. And these things:

> the justification that a good one is well worth the price.

that's just what they (the execs in bigger corps) say to fool the employees, make them shut up. Or to look good in the press?

Sounds as if he did not fire the 33+33% ? The board or the investors wouldn't have liked that? (Or why not)

Thanks, interesting, I'm thinking about visiting, maybe can be good to know

WLB = work life balance, right

Aha auus is AWS, I didn't read that part of your comment properly.

Maybe you don't want the comment to be found by search engines

Southern or northern Italy :-) ?

(Or both?)

What's "auus"?

I think systems nowadays are larger and more integrated, more complex.

Deployments sometimes are simpler, whilst other things instead are harder. Software will always be pushing the limits.

Interesting, I wonder how often Small-claims gets used for software. At the same time:

@d13 What if the house magically changed shape so the chair couldn't be used any more in that house? Suddenly one day you'll need to sit on the floor and eat, until you had gotten new chairs, for the new shape of the house

Who would you sue (the house or the chair company or no one?)

Or instead, when the house changes shape randomly and whenever, what about paying the chair company for upgrading your chairs to match the new shape of the house (and you'd never have to cook and eat on the floor)

(It makes little sense, I think, to compare software with chairs and houses. Unless the houses are magical as per above)
