I see, I did not know that. I thought it was a means to ensure someone who doesn't have a good job gets a minimum amount of wage till they find something stable.

I think minimum wage is supposed to enable you to move up and not a wage where you can lead a comfortable life. It's expected that a single person on minimum wage can't get a two bedroom house.

One thing I can think of is revenge porn, child porn or any videos of sexual nature published without the consent of the participants. This has detrimental social impact. Courts should be able to make companies remove such content.

Harley's and helmets weren't there then. Now if they want to ride they should wear a helmet, why make special exceptions for religious beliefs?

I felt irrational was too strong a word, there might have been good reasons for the turban in a different time, I don't see a good one for while riding a bike.

You are so right. The earth is flat. Shaving is bad. God cares about who you have sex with.

I like the work that Sikh community does. I've come across many good Sikh people. But their beliefs regarding hair is harmful in this case.

It's the 21st century, please don't use rules set in a different context.

They should just wear a helmet.

It's fine for general search queries but really poor for long tail queries.

Generally its low quality content designed to rank top over high quality articles written by unknown publication.

Any source or data for this assertion.

Working from home has been a boom pretty much for the same reasons mentioned as in the pro.

Random noises and sounds takes away focus and brings me out of "the zone".

I have a separate area where I work, I don't work any place other than that.

They probably need to pay a good salary to be able to hire folks who would otherwise join a FAANG.

That is what most companies do. When you have an over supply of backend engineers but need frontend engineers no one looks for more backend engineers. Their stack has a weakness of frontend engineers and they find the one that strengthens it the most.

I'm from a developing nation who has a good tech career. I give a lot of credit to YouTube and Google for that. Denying that option to me is very costly. I'd rather have a censored version to nothing. It's just a pragmatic choice. However if Google is able to arm twist the government and remove the censor, nothing like it.

Short and fat ones are in management.

How is it ethical to deny information discovery to oppressed people?

Article shows companies like Google and Facebook. However doesn't talk about big companies managing in a different way. Why? They are all dead. Entropy and decay is part of product cycle. There is no way around it. You push them far away.

I literally have been calling my mom every single day for the past 8 years I've been away from home. In India we are very close with our parents, they make a lot of sacrifices to give us a good life. Most kids in India usually call their parents atleast 2 times a week.

Almost all your income is going for essentials, not much in the way of savings.

Having job + uni can drain any energy to work on your project

Same here in India

As mentioned "I am gathering the best practices around technical documentation.".

This is for my tech company and we are looking towards improving the way we do documentation.

It depends on which conference you are looking at, if Brian Goetz had a talk on concurrency best practices then it would definitely be something to think about.

1$ has a purchase power of ~18 rupees. So 140rs in India is equivalent to 7$ if you do a PPP conversion.

When did HN become Reddit?

I suggest you read "how to talk to anyone, anytime and anywhere" by Larry King. It is not a bs self-help book. It is written by an expert in a very professional way. There are actionable insights in it. I am a senior engineer, I used to find it hard to make conversation but now it's easy. The main take away for me is that the easiest way to start a conversation is to make it about the other person, people love to talk about themselves.

Having built products from scratch I know for a fact that selling to the first 10 users is really hard but if you give it to them for free and get the feedback on what didn't work and improved on it - it makes selling to the next 100 people that much easier.

Right now OP is making an assumption that his product is useful. It's a guess. Doing the beta for free for a small set of users validates it with small effort.

In fact the first release should be as minimal as possible. Op can charge those users in the subsequent releases.

Have a trial for a period you think is enough for the company to know they'll get value out of using your product and post that ask for a licence fee.

To start with I suggest you give the MVP product for free. The users will be paying you with their feedback.

Dev here. I worked in the company that used Jira. Used it for 4 years. It was really useful.

It is anyday better than getting tasks over email.

We had very minimal customisations. A simple set of swimlanes that we update throughout the product development process.

From what you are telling it looks like your team had other problems in delivery. You tried to solve it via Jira by adding new custom fields and forcing people to update them. Solving the deeper issue would have helped there.

I have been able to track my deliverables. See how my team is performing. Plan for the next sprint. Perform retrospectives and capture action items. The tool hasn't broken while doing this. UI is decent. I really don't see a problem with the tool, it serves its goal.
