Read this article with a grain of salt since many people nowadays live in their own bubble.

I heard from many people that at their company, product managers and designers are forced to create at least 3 PRs per week. Initially they started as changing small things but nowadays they implement a whole feature.

Also, interestingly the article doesn’t mention that many companies are now token ranking their employees and creating leaderboards to fire them easily.

This is the reason why I stopped following Gergely. Before he started to get many sponsors, he was talking about the problems that developers are having. Nowadays he became a PR machine for the big tech and startups.

The comments here are just another reminder of how US-centric HN has become. Whenever there's positive news from Germany or elsewhere in Europe, people are quick to dismiss it. But the moment there's negative news, everyone jumps on the bandwagon to bash it.

Unless you offer them a promotion ;)

Right now I’m reading Biological War. Before this one I finished reading:

- The Left Hand of Darkness

- The Nerd Reich

- What Happened to Liberal Democracy?

I don’t know why we see Omarchy almost every day on the front page. Do people really want to use a distro from a white supremacist?
