Related to the "blissful" feeling, an under emphasized criteria when choosing current tasks for engineers from a backlog of tasks is which feature are they more excited to work on right now.

The motiviation and tinkering can be similar to a side project, and results in higher quality work IMO. Obviously there are urgent tasks, but it's an ignored vector in the "weighting system" for choosing work for engineers.

If you wait to assign the task in the next sprint, the excitement for that particular task might be gone.

This is the first thread ive commented on since trump was inaugurated and it’s sad to see HN has turned into Reddit.

emotionally charged, bad faith assumptions at the smallest whiff of independent thought.

The regulators ain’t regulating. That’s their main job, not innovation.

The federal govt can’t be the majority of technological innovation. If we’re lucky this vacuum will be filled by an even larger private sector innovation hub like Xerox park and bell labs.

> I imagine the entire point of RTO mandates is to keep cities sustainable.

The main important factor IMO is mentorship of junior talent. (I'm speaking for technical orgs)

Viewing the organization as a living organism where an employee is a "cell", then there are material benefits in the "cellular replication" of talent and rejuvenation of the next generation.

It can definitely be true that RTO is worse for an individual engineer but better for the health of the organization long-term. Both can be true.

In my experience, remote only companies tend to prefer a higher ratio of senior employees for this reason. It's plug-an-play.

I think it's less capability and more the cost of goods. You can't compete with items that are half the cost to produce in east asia.

Manufacturing was always going to move to where it costs less.

It's bad for a productive american economy but it's a prisoner's dilemma so you can't blame businesses or consumers.

The government is the only party that had the power to do anything. it's 100% an economics problem.

I didn't use it 10 years ago but I've been using it for the last 4 years on mac and linux exclusively.

Microsoft seems to be prioritizing "cloud" on all their developer products (rather than just windows). I don't feel disadvantaged by NOT using dotnet on windows.

> string_of_int, int_of_string

That didn't bother me so much because i speak spanish and can read french. OCaml is of french origin. `string_of_int` is a bad english translation—should have been `string_from_int`.

I like F# where I can use the `int` or `string` functions:

    let myString = "2024"
    let myInt = int myString
    let myStringAgain = string myInt
