This seems like a pretty damning indictment of Automattic. The WordPress foundation (that they presumably set up) may have rules that give them legal cover for some of the moves they’re making, but it’s going to hurt them in the court of public opinion. I think that matters to developers, who are the people ultimately responsible for choosing whether or not to contribute to / use their product. It’s true that migration cost might prevent churn from these actions right now but stopping the train of logic there seems short sighted. What about all the business that they may have received in the future that they might not get now because they’ve tarnished their brand?

I read the article as acknowledging this pressure by arguing that Weird Nerds should not be forced into people management positions. Without the workplace pressure on Weird Nerds to become people managers, would they still manage people? Maybe not.

I can’t speak for academia, but in tech companies I’ve worked at I’ve seen a marked improvement in management when there’s a tech track for engineer advancement such that they never need to become managers, if they don’t want.

Thanks for the heads up! I was just about to update. Didn’t see anything about the 32/64 bit thing in the update release..

500 server error on most checklists

I'm just learning Go now and I'm still in the middle of the whole "Go solves concurrency" part. It's nice to get a second opinion

Site doesn't work for me

It gratifys me in some weird way to know that companies stress out about the recruitment process at least as much as I do

Are the current fads not still agile, scrum, and lean?

Feels like the headline here should be related to bug itself, the amount of privacy it violated, and how long it took Apple to fix it!

Clearly a good PR move for Apple.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

Hard to imagine when you haven't seen it in person

Hopefully this means that my Fossil Q Wander is going to be on the cutting edge of Google's software updates now. Big fan of this watch by the way, only complaint is that it doesn't led itself to workouts as well as some other watches.

Love to see people trying to make topics in math and cs more accessible to a wider audience
