Sorry, I don't understand really. You are questioning to be required thinking about work during the time you are paid for to work? Again sorry if I failed to see sarcasm if intended.

Assuming attention is binary as parent suggested, than having someone in a meeting where they listen in, but in parallel working on something else seems to me to be a problem. Maybe the meeting should be split in that case so only people who are actually required and therefore spend their full attention on, are present in the split parts. Not saying bossware is the best (or even an acceptable) solution to that problem, but it would surely be benefitial for an organization to reduce such inefficiencies.

Moving a TerraForm managed infrastructure, which has higher complexity than one ec2 instance, to another provider basically means rewriting most TerraForm code. I don't see TF to lower the barrier of vendor lockin really.

On a mobile phone the original is noticeably faster to load, way more visually appealing, and not broken. Mintdata doesn't seem to care for mobile phone display width (in this case?)

Shouldn't this have a 2018 tag?

Which is exactly what I suggested - avoid strife over mismatched expectations with a one liner. I would take your first paragraph to actually strengthen my assumption that Kinder treatment of PRs is the norm and that's why the many projects you mention add that line.

Well, from my perspective it seems common practice in most open source projects which are hosted on GH that maintainers at least consider PRs and typically only reject if the PR is flawed, incomplete or somehow adds feature creep.

Of course any maintainer is free to handle it differently, but if going against usual expectations, it would be benefitial for all involved to note reluctance to PRs prominently to the Readme.

For me when rarely riding a scooter (in Berlin) it is always frustrating that I am (at capped 20km/h) a bit slower than the flow of numerous bicicles. This also understandably increases frustration for the cyclists (I feel the same when usually taking a bike to work). This alone rules out taking a scooter over a bike whenever possible.

Understood the GP to mean blogging-engine/CMS and UX to mean admin&editing ergonomics

GP means more openings in management track than in similar level IC-expert track. Which makes sense seeing

1) in those 8 person teams you mention there may not always be a place for an expert IC

2) companies often reserve the IC-expert budget slots for internal IC promotions while relying on management slots on external recruitment to a higher degree

The term is "product validation" which isn't core marketing of course. But for that you need initial users and to get these you need limited marketing efforts early on. No rocket science :-)

I would personally love to add a response along the lines of "professional yes, but they should have..." regarding their stance, but no - you are right.

This is an exceptionally professional response and the discussion regarding PC, wokeness etc belongs elsewhere.

From the perspective of a >200 people company, gmail/gapps starts to become a discount email provider. Like it or not, as the Org growths considerations about legal liability of providers, SLA enforcement etc become a topic
