Sailors still rely(ied) on stars even with chronometers but I get the point you're making. "Head west for 8 weeks" wasn't quite enough.

Brightened my day. ;)

I think the answer has to do with calls to action and the assumption users make that the cursor hand is a link to another web page or another part of the site, while not all buttons are hyperlinks. Probably not as much of an argument in these days, though, especially as most sites are single page applications where basically every button does indeed do some sort of reroute, target blank (new tab), or network call at the very least.

Also, to be pedantic, not all buttons are entirely clickable, only small portions of them.

Edit: Interesting that HN doesn't use the cursor hand for reply / updating. ;)

Explicitly, yes. Implicitly, no.

They are a moving target, but my org has them pretty closely pinned to 2hrs of "work time" per point, at least ideologically. When you see that go from 12-18ish in person per person to 30+ (~38 average consistently for me), it's pretty straightforward that the org is actually getting closer to its billable 80 hours per sprint, even with 3ish daily Zoom meetings. And to boot, the quality of design, PMing, ticket writing, feature scoping, and everything else around it has increased, which probably helps the productivity.

I have worked more (and harder, quantifiable by sprint points if you must have a number) in the past year from home than in the entire rest of my career combined. My close ones tell me I'm just making "the man" more money, but I really don't mind it for some reason. I feel like I'm accomplishing goals and feel fulfilled in ways that I didn't previously. No signs of burnout, perhaps I am a freak of nature.

They are ruining / skewing the stats of that plugin in the readme for others, it uses an algo to determine profile rankings based on everyone elses stats.

Recruiters will straight up ask for .DOC versions, too. The gall.

In all stock deals, how much does that end up being? Like 1 share Apple per 1000 stock options of the startup?

Can't wait to see all the same apps popping up on GitHub.

A rural small town judge probably doesn't have the best insight into that, just that Corporal Bubba said he calibrated it so it must've been right.

I know, this is exceedingly cynical.

When the officer shows up and swears under oath that he "calibrated it that morning" it's not so easy. :shrug:
