This here. If you follow Prisma ORM on GitHub, some of the pain you’ll see is missing features like “whereRaw”, but really most of the pain is forcing you to use raw SQL. And even then, Prisma is extensible, so build your own solutions on top of it. Like Zenstack which creates auth/role permissions on the Prisma schema.
This is an indictment on poor executive leadership, shareholders, headcount planning consultant hacks and internal comms. It's also an indictment on the law itself for allowing this style of layoffs, legal opinion and HR compliance risk assessment to fester at corporations in the US. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Having worked for years in the HR space and at the intersection of compliance, recruiting, legal, and business tech, it's not a complete argument to say that HR is to blame here. Executive leadership, shareholders (and likely consultants) are responsible for these "layoffs". They are the root cause. It most likely still holds true that their decision making is "bigger picture" nonsense based on budgets and short term gains. It also might hold true that they targeted the "low performers" even if that's an incredibly unfair judgment. Anyone who has worked with or knows Sales/AEs understand that 3 months over holidays is not a fair timeframe.
How HR decided to use the reason "low performance" doesn't look great at all, but from my collaboration with HR compliance folks in the past I don't think it's a violation because it's technically the "truth".
I wouldn't even squarely place the blame on HR. HR is simply a (soulless) messenger. This is an executive level decision that likely has no basis in longterm strategy but rather financial pressures.
I saw it at the enterprise level during the last layoff hell when thousands were let go at my company. On the ground, there was almost little to no logic to the layoffs because the decisions were made by disconnected execs who sit in bullshit meetings all day.
In fact, it goes both ways. Even when teams are expanded out - a decision made in partnership some absurd headcount planning 3rd party consultants - it's almost as if they never talked to the team, but some exec who is 3-4 layers removed from the actual valuable individual contributors who understand the work, have frustrations and desires and should theoretically have a part in influencing planning decisions.
It’s incredible there are still people like you who refuse to accept reality. Bug? Engineering issue? Have you considered that your leader is just a fraud and a hypocrite?
* Instead of exporting a file, I'd prefer to see the code in the UI and then decide if I want to piecemeal or just download the whole file with package.json, etc. As someone who iterates it would be annoying to continually download new zips
* Is it possible to define custom primary/secondary colors to use as hashtags? Almost like tailwind config file where I can set up my theme in advance and reuse or @apply through the hashtag. And like tailwind, it would be great to just do #[000000] to set a custom color or value on the fly for a button, etc. or explicitly define #bg-black #text-white etc.
+1 to this suggestion. It’s part of what makes the breathe app on the Apple Watch engaging, the stream of tapping on your wrist really helps. I’m sure the same can be achieved with the phone.
He’s not trying to pull out because of some great strategy on his part — he’s lied to your face and everyone’s else’s by ridiculously suggesting Twitter lied about the bots and that he’s surprised there are bots when that was the whole message in the first place: buying Twitter to rid it of bots (and free speech or whatever other lie he’s clinged to). He’s mired the whole process in controversy and has shown repeated contempt for the law and his own contractual obligations.
Let’s also not forget the core of the matter: this is a class issue through and through. One of the most wealthy and powerful people on earth — propelled by government subsidies and contracts for his companies Tesla, SpaceX, etc. — is only able to do what he’s doing, and flaunt his contempt only because he is rich and powerful. Very few people would be able to do what he’s done and run away with it: calling somebody a pedophile with no cause, essentially claiming victory over his battle with an ineffectual SEC over his misbehavior, getting into a contract with Twitter with a populist energy and dominant conservative support only to (no surprise) cancel it last second etc.
This is an issue of wealthy people evading the rules everyone else has to play by under threat of violence (lawsuits, prison, etc.)
The amount of effort his cultists put to defending him and arguing that this is some brilliant play is beyond ridiculous.
Crime is up after the lull that was the COVID lockdowns. Less crimes occurred when everyone was at home and the economy was essentially halted. Great argument.
Let’s admit the real innovation here. It’s not FSD. It’s the underground tunnels with traffic. Underground traffic for all to be autopiloted through with their Teslas so that we can all meet at the digital town square on our phones.
It’s quite rational to buy a company for tens of billions of dollars on the campaign of “cleaning up the bots”, troll and disparage the entire way through, publicly declare yourself Republican amidst the frenzy, and then act shocked that there are bots and withdraw from the deal for a “positive expected value” chance at a lawsuit while running a bunch of other companies amidst inflation and worries of recession. Very rational behavior for a very rational guy with billions of dollars, 100 million Twitter followers and a cult of personality.
Not only was it blatantly obvious from the start, but it wasn’t the first time Elon liquidated Tesla shares while misdirecting. Both his fans and the media continue to fall for his distractions to this day.
This is par for the course. Every time there is big news expected, Elon’s antics are elevated and a coordinated distraction by way of a tweet is posted. See the “political attacks on me” tweet as an example, which coincidentally was posted the day prior to his sexual assault allegations.
The man has bought Twitter for the purposes of distracting and manipulating the public.
Thank you! This is not only helpful but sounds like my ideal program in terms of learning, flexibility, and chance to explore something new.
I’m curious to hear about the SEM (I assume Software Engineering Mathematics) method of qualifying perhaps as a post-graduate (non-matriculated) learner — this taken from the other commenter. This seems like an ideal way to test out the structure and style of a classroom and qualify by achieving high marks before committing and fully applying to the program. Is this a thing that you’ve heard about? There isn’t anything on the website about qualifying for the program through this.
I’m interested in hearing more about this program. How is it, and would you recommend it for an American? Is it even possible for an American to fly in for the week-long intensives like the other comment on here says? That would be worth the experience.
What was your background when you applied and how tough is entry? (I see that there is a 99 application average over the past three years with 70 acceptances?)
Way too much ORM hate here.
