While I agree with the principle of "clean markup", whenever I open up the DOM of websites I did not create (and I do so with regular frequency), I generally do not see what I'd consider clean. The author is correct but it's not that frequent of a practice; I wish it were so. Care for our craft is an uncommon thing.
Leaders have a responsibility to ensure their teams deliver. When the teams agree to async communication --and the channels remain silent-- where is the accountability when there is no deliverable and no visibility into the scenario that led to no output? To be clear, this doesn't mean 100% sync. But a 10 minute daily sync can ensure the team is focused on producing something of business value. Maximal autonomy within some guardrails keeps the ICs and management at their best.
Most lived experiences with off-shore talent are due to labor costs. There are great offshore engineers but many work for companies who aren't hiring at the top end of the local market: they're hiring off-shore to save. You get what you pay for. And that leads to impressions, even if incorrect ones.
We're at the point where many newer engineers haven't had real hands-on DOM experience but are expected to deliver applications built in React. You need to know at least one level abstraction below your current one to use the tool effectively. This all tracks with how the industry's changed, how we hire, how we train, and so on.
Some part of the process -- anywhere from specs to assembly-- had some cost cutting that led to the outcome. The root cause of this problem is something financially motivated.
It works because they have AWS. If the entirety of the business was only the consumer site, it's looking more and more like Wish with each passing day.
We did have high inflation for a year, and were told it was temporary, before tools were deployed. Would a sustained period of deflation be met with a similarly lagged response?
This is reasonable, but the problem I encounter is how stifling it seems to ask others to structure their work so specifically. By way of comparison, getting compliance on conventional commit messages is a challenge, and that's an appreciably smaller ask than this.
Not necessarily. The returns from your all-cash purchase would be greater had you invested in treasuries. Rental yields and the 10 year recently flipped (after over a decade of rental income returns beating treasuries).
You can have a LinkedIn profile but not use the feed-- I don't see how that's necessarily frustrating. Make a profile, provide the link on job applications. Occasionally edit your profile so it's up to date. Then, don't use it. Simple enough.
What about people with organizational accounts? For example, if I use ad blocker logged into my work Google account, which my employer presumably pays a per-seat cost for.
You can make improvements, but it ends up being small things that you can showcase to leaders to demonstrate that progress is happening, but it's nothing of actual material value. It's a lot like public political discourse where a policy solution is touted, all the ooh's and ahh's, but then nothing really changes.
Is there a reason discussion around C is phrased like this? My reaction to that quote is, "yeah it could possibly have some issues we're not really sure of, but it seems reasonably battle-tested too". It evokes a bit of mixed signal messaging, to me at least.
It's normal for a badge-checking system, but it's still an erosion of white-collar norms (autonomy being the key one) to be so proscriptive about how knowledge workers complete their work.
Side note, but when I worked somewhere with badged entrances, one person would badge the whole group. So this data wouldn't mean employees aren't there if there is no swipe.
And the definition of middle class is looking more like "owning a condo" than owning a single-family home in a high cost of living area, the type of area where it's easier to get a $200k income.
You're both correct. Individual SKUs varying by $1-2 between two different metros isn't surprising or unrealistic. Stores also adjust pricing weekly, and items on offer tend to rotate as well, so comparing point-in-time prices could be volatile. None of this means the inflation didn't occur, just that one specific example may not be telling the full picture.
Are they missing the money or the environment? It could be both, but bigtech compensation is one of the few places left to create a solid balance sheet for a household, and that's first and foremost what bigtech offers to its employees.
