wow, I've learned so much from your post, owe you big time!

I was wondering that too!

Oh Wow, I wonder if this experiment would yield similar results outside San Francisco, hmmm?

I fondly remember trying to angel invest in BioPure, thank you for the flashback!

Thank you for referencing his idiot behavior leading to his own demise, I hope that will be on his coin.

Thank you for stating this. Its annoying to hear free education = bad in all subtle forms.

Wonderful.

fancy and interesting, thx for sharing.

2 points of brilliant insight:

-"Instead of code and interfaces, we have processes and expectations. (By hiring career engineering managers, industry norms are imported. Firing a low performer may be a quick solution to a bigger underlying problem, deferred for the next manager.")

-This year, Meta laid off all their engineering managers that don’t code. It’s the same move that Google pulled 20 years ago, spawning Maps, Chrome and Gmail.

Ethics in AI, a long hard road toward progress. I'm glad the fight isn't over.

Wow, thanks for posting this about geospatial Coordinate reference systems (CRSs)!

meh. Its deeply patronizing to hear gate-keeping developers discuss when is 'no-code' acceptable...

Talk to a first line employee or manufacturing factory worker end user who wants to make minimal data apps on fly without the extra time or baggage.

Google Appsheets or Microsoft Power Apps are fantastic tools of this nature.

"I'm really tired of people who claim the result of a psychological study is "obvious".

Thank you crazygringo2 for saying this.

"Obvious" is my most disliked word. Its reserved for 'expert' people (gatekeepers) who forgot what its like to be a beginner.
