I think sometimes flip side is that the engineer looks like they just shipped a bunch of "small features" A, B, C... because the solutions were so simple

IMO, there should be 3 categories of users, and they can choose a system wide setting that applies across all their apps and settings:
* Bulletproof
* Privacy Conscious
* Normal (recommended)
That way users are roughly opting in and opting out in a way that aligns with their desires

I don't know, I'm of the opinion there is no true substitute other than jumping ship to a better learning environment. I think as long as you're cognizant of it, maybe that time comes in 2-3 years, maybe sooner.

I didn't see anyone mention the rationale. Here it is:
"Twitter was acquired by X Corp both to ensure freedom of speech and as an accelerant for X, the everything app. This is not simply a company renaming itself, but doing the same thing.
The Twitter name made sense when it was just 140 character messages going back and forth – like birds tweeting – but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video.
In the months to come, we will add comprehensive communications and the ability to conduct your entire financial world. The Twitter name does not make sense in that context, so we must bid adieu to the bird."

Right. Article is from 2012 as well. The communication landscape arguably has evolved a lot since then.
With Slack, for example, you have so much fine grained control. I don't know if it makes sense to implement a blanket "shut off communications after hours" policy

Sounds like you have to decide if you want to focus on being an IC vs managerial

In the long run, I look forward to people and companies sorting themselves to their respective camps of "remote" vs "non-remote". Economics will prove which one works better.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, this is mostly referring to Internet enabled goods and services.
As other commenters have pointed out, it doesn't apply as much to actual physical products.
So this leads to reason, should any of this be accepted as the norm?

It's just like building a Facebook app back in the day
Replace social media / graph APIs with the ones from OpenAI

The easy solution that should've been implemented is to let you "ride out" your last cartridge.

What is the compensation range for software engineers in the auto industry? Is there a place to look at job descriptions?
