So silly that it's exactly what happened during the Great Depression.

More like companies are reducing scope to focus on key profit centers or initiatives, making product managers and designers easy targets for layoffs.

The vast majority of questions around quality that end up surfacing in code reviews can be much more easily settled by commonly shared tooling that enforces organizational style and security practices. Leaving "best practice" up to the code review stage just ends up allowing senior engineers to demand code that they themselves would write, not what's best for an organization.

Agreed. Too many "senior engineers" fail to recognize when they are simply venting their territorialism by nitpicking in code reviews. The role of a good manager is to restrain these tendencies.

Strange time to do an acquihire given that Netlify just had a round of layoffs.

The statement doesn't say how much Gatsby was acquired for. Hope that Gatsby equity holders weren't bought out at a steep discount, given the current macro situation.

I'm sympathetic to all those who lost their jobs, but I'm a bit baffled that 400 people were working on this. Can someone enlighten me as to why so much headcount was required by this project?

No, my parents were immigrants and I have multiple relatives who came to the United States as children and gained residency.

How did you go from 9 to working age without getting residency in the US or another country?

I'm curious about htmx, but all of the HTML mini-syntax very similar in aesthetic to Angular 1.0, which was pretty quickly supplanted by React. What excites people about htmx? Do people like the mini-syntax but dislike the ceremony of state management?

Not very convincing when "git gud" is the common response to Rust's exuberance towards needless complexity in use cases that it doesn't fit well in (like CRUD applications)

Rust advocates want us to believe that Rust can effectively replace all of the use cases of those languages, so it's totally fair to group them.

I'm glad we're here. More and more organizations are going to have serious buyers regret after being sold a bad bag of goods by all of the Rust hype.

Recruiters are salespeople. Toxic positivity, undue flattery, etc are all part of their toolbox. It's ultimately on the candidate to perform due diligence on the organization, like with any product.
