What?!

Everybody is very slow to update their outage pages because of SLAs. It's in a company's financial interest to deny outages and when they are undeniable to make them appear as short as possible. Status pages updating slowly is definitely by design.

There's no large dev platform I've used that this wasn't true of their status pages.

Obviously this is "hey HR we need to layoff 900 people, what can we do to make it their fault?"

Maybe it's a reasonable cover your ass move but comes off very slimy.

Also if it works it works. I think people worry too much about a solution being a placebo.

Yes, it may be that your solution only worked because you believed it would work. But take the win!

Certainly solutions backed by double blind controlled studied are way better. But those often aren't an option, so use what is.

Unlikely but if they offered it on their own stuff it could create a trend.

And increasingly they are losing the quality content that they didn't produce themselves.

What would you blame/credit this problem too?

On the flip-side. Since I've had 3 or 4 years of experience on my resume, I've gotten interviews for about 1 in 10 applications I sent out. And been made offers for about 1 in 4 companies that I've started an interviewing process with. With me ending the interview process about half of the time with those due to the company being a bad cultural fit for me (excessive overtime, unorganized group, or low pay).

I have also specifically targeted companies that used the tech stack I had a lot of experience with. And I would say that I typically interview well

Haha yeah. What an asshole move.

Absolutely.

To be really certain you'd have to test your soil.

I don't think you could test seeds without destroying them. But if your soil was clean then you could grow a plant from potentially contaminated seeds and that plants seeds would be far less contaminated.

I thought the Colorado law was about base pay?

Personally I don't care about stocks on a job posting. I consider stocks to be worth 0 when considering offers unless it's a public company with all the information available for me to evaluate the company.

This is because statistically the startup will fail. And there's no way to make a fact based evaluation if it will fail or not until after you are working for them. If you are one of the initial hires it's basically blindly gambling on the founders. The exception being if the founders have previously founded successful startups, in which case you are betting on their experience.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

This seems to be aimed at investors more than anyone else.

But to what end?

Gathering more data on a problem you don't know how to solve won't give you a solution to solving it. We don't have any evidence to support that current AI is capable of the advanced problem solving the city driving requires.

This would be easy to fix with legislative that makes property taxes much higher for investment home properties.

I don't think I've ever heard of a politician even talking about that though.

Context is everything.

Writing an app that going to do like 3 things? Keep it barebones.

Writing an app that will eventually be 100k lines of code that runs a business. Spend a lot of time organizing and abstracting! Mistakes in your architecture will be expensive to correct but balance avoiding those with premature optimization.

And beyond just the purpose of the app, remember who is going to build and maintain it. A project with 100 engineers and a project with 1 engineer should use very different architectures and project management regardless of the problem they are solving.

And what did censoring the theory do?

It made actual researchers and scientists shut up to not hurt their reputations. And made internet conspiracy conspiracies go crazy in all directions.

I believe the more we censor vaccine information, true or not, the more hardened people will get in their beliefs. What I'd love to see is YouTube change their algorithms to promote quality content over engaging content so good information rises to the top.

I think this is the best argument for these lists that I've heard.

Forcing this stuff out into the light helps the system get fixed. This is a pattern I've seen in internal tools development for businesses over and over. When my solution increases visibility into a problem, suddenly people start solving the problem without my help.
