This job posting sounds like it lines up with author's experience at the company, and knowing Shopify is a Rails-heavy company, I would safely assume most Shopify postings look similar to this. I don't think author was bait-and-switched, author just didn't get what they _wanted_.

Note: providing a google cache link since I don't know when the posting will expire

> My current team has a senior that has been at the company for 20 years as an Analyst, she can't write a line of code without assistance. [..] And we've got a few juniors/midlevels that could out code almost anyone of the team.

I mean, there's much more to Analyst and Engineering jobs than coding, especially as you advance up the levels.

My use of the phrase "Jewish Practice" was taken from the article. I didn't mean anything additional by it.

I feel like bjourne is referring to the hypocracy that society commonly accepts the Jewish practice, whereas the Muslim practice is generally rejected.

I don't think bjourne is suggesting that Deborah accepts the practice.

Nobody has mentioned the official GitHub announcement yet?

I like Basecamp's pay structure: it's static. It's more based on the role itself, and the value that role brings to the company. You're not penalized for living somewhere with a low cost of living.

> Our market rates are based on Chicago. Chicago isn’t the top of the market — you’ll find higher rates in Silicon Valley or New York — but it’s not far off either. So whether you live in Tennessee or Arizona or Alaska or Illinois, we pay the same.

> This means everyone has the freedom to pick where they want to live, and there’s no penalty for relocating to a cheaper cost-of-living area. We encourage remote and have many employees who’ve lived all over while continuing to work for Basecamp.

I feel like there's a pun in here somewhere... ಠ_ಠ

> Wouldn't it just be Visual Studio then? We would get updates once a year instead of once a month.

For what it's worth, the Visual Studio team now releases minor updates roughly every six weeks (including bug fixes and new features), and service updates almost weekly [1]. They also rely quite heavily on user feature requests [2].

> Sort of like how I can apt upgrade while apt update is still running but fancier

You can link two commands together with the "AND IF" operator

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Furthermore, you also have `||` which is the logical or, and also `;` which is just a separator which doesn't care what happend to the command before.

Thanks to 2FA, I don't have a huge concern logging into a password manager on a public PC.
