Just communicate that setting a _priority_ for a bug is fine, but a timescale isn't, as you don't know what you don't know. Then let them know what resources you need to figure it out as quickly as possible (maybe it's just space and time, maybe it's people, maybe it's expertise).

Always seems to be very popular with a certain type of engineer. I personally prefer to create much better looking diagrams in about 1/10th of the time using draw.io

A shocking injustice. Innocent people went to prison for years. There was clearly a cover up at Fujitsu and the Post Office, and those accountable should now be prosecuted.

Please don't lecture me about what I do and don't think, thank you.

This was a good read. Many tech companies (and some non-tech companies) talk the talk about hiring from a diverse crowd, then interview them as if they're all CS bros (reverse a tree, "justify the text" bullshit leetcode nonsense, 8 hours of interviews), the exact kind of stuff that people from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds don't know and don't care about.

Having to reverse a binary tree or some other associated nonsense for a frontend UI role meant I turned the interview process at Google down. That and about 6 prospective hours of interviews for my application to then be sent to a "hiring committee" who ultimately decided if I was worthy enough of a job at Google, it just wasn't worth the hoop-jumping.

Zero interest? 99% of people I speak to would have no idea what the "command line" even is, let alone be interested in it.

I enjoyed this map that highlights where most people live.

A limited liability company may mean you're personally not liable, but your business can still be made bankrupt which isn't much better.

I don't think you (just) need to set up some examples, you need to use your own product on your own homepage.

Looks good btw.

Surely the one thing that should be on the Magic Bell homepage is a Magic Bell I can click on and see what this product is?
