Anyone using Java for IaC and Configuration Management in 2025 needs to reconsider their career decisions.

How do you know?

The problem is that code as a 1-off is excellent, but as a maintainable piece of code that needs to be in source control, shared across teams, follow standard SLDC, be immutable, and track changes in some state - it's just not there.

If an intern handed me code like this to deploy an EC2 instance in production, I would need to have a long discussion about their decisions.

Guess this is what laying off thousands of people paid for.

Like many things it’s a combination of many answers, but from my own experience it’s a simpler pipeline with Apple phones. On Android it’s supporting tons of screen sizes, out of date versions, different vendor modifications to the OS.

Looking at it as iOS vs Android isn’t correct because Android is a fragmented mess.

Yes, this is what I worry about too.

I've been hearing remote work is the future for many years now, but haven't seen much movement toward the goal.

Now, we are in a pandemic and everyone is forced to be at home, not by choice, but by necessity.

Everyone is still saying remote work is now accelerated, but no one had a choice if they wanted to work remotely or not...

Of course there will be some increase in remote working after the pandemic, but I think the vast majority is going to return to the office.

Not because they can't work from home, but just because they don't want to work from home.

Anyone know how virtual particles would fit into this model? If these particles pop in and out of existence even for small amounts of time out of nothing, then it’s impossible to have a universe just full of massless particles?

Maybe I’m out of the loop a little bit I feel that the argument framed as political activism is a deflection.

Post 5g causes sickness or other theories... These aren’t political at all, they are just factually incorrect.

Framing them as political is a mistake and it seems to have worked so well, even here on HN.

Not sure why this is surprising as most people who are out of work don't have any equity in the stock market. I think it's more a reflection of income inequality and the concentration of capital. There is a huge disconnect indeed.

They don't treat them as equal because of the legal system. I believe in the eyes of the law, if you treat a non-FTE as a FTE then they are essentially as FTE. That means companies have to treat CWs this way as a means to protect themselves against litigation. It's a little more complicated then just "the purpose of making money"

Google dot com UI is growing ever closer to following in the footsteps of iTunes. It’s just becoming a cluttered mess and more confusing to users... I didn’t even know you could shop directly from the site.

I mean... this is what Tesla does? All their cars come crippled if you don't pay them more money?

Maybe the only difference is Tesla let's you pay to upgrade and not buy a new Tesla to get some feature?
