I wonder where Indian incompetence/lying falls on the Elon scale.

It is interesting to see most people lay the blame at the feet of developers.

The reality is that these are all business decisions:

1) Move to the cloud because the business likes the steady payout of subscriptions. Business customers love not having to hire IT teams and demand six 9s of uptime because it is someone else’s responsibility. But performance needs to just be acceptable to end users.

2) Customers refusing to upgrade on-premises software, that led to long maintenance cycles and endless patches

3) Developing once for the web vs. Multiple times for different platforms – each needing its own developers and testers.

No amount of expertise on the part of developers is going to address these fundamental forces.

Right! You are your body. Not just your mind.

Why do they all keep saying H1-B workers are underpaid? The government determines minimum pay for each application. My experience has been that this number is quite high.

Watch the thinly veiled homophobia emerge

Proving that all their jobs can now be outsourced to other countries for half the price. Thanks a lot.

At least they are not asking you to punch holes into cards

This is true only until insurance decides not to pay arbitrarily. In my case I was stuck with a $112k bill. Hospital offered 50% self pay discount. Now what?

This solution has no street cred

No. Functionality first. Optimization later.

I want to be able to control flow and temperature separately.

Middle managers will be needed more, not less.

Tesla has 99k employees

How is this related to currency?

Used cars are so expensive that it makes sense to spend a bit more and buy new.

It is a mistake to adopt any agile process when the management does not have what they call the agile mindset. Both the words "downwards" and "micromanagement" are already warning signs that the company will do better with a different process.

Daily stand-ups and scrum events work very well when used as a self organizing tool for the scrum team. Micromanagers are not invited. And neither are managers. (I am saying this as a manager myself.) This is what causes the process to breakdown.

Is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars plus stocks and bonuses not enough of a reason to show up at work?

I dont believe people have many complaints when it comes to the usability of Apple hardware. Touchbar excluded of course. And that keyboard.

LOL. Right

It is a luxury brand in the US. Every tech person that has made it would never buy anything but Apple. Yes, things like battery life are great. But if you are seen working at a coffee shop, there is a 100% guarantee of a that glowing apple logo on your laptop.

Well said. The hacker culture is not immune to the trappings of luxury brands. You can’t show off your wealth using a no name brand running Linux.

The more you are used to eating in an average meal, the longer it takes to feel "full".

I second that. Great job!

The loss of this species may seem insignificant, especially since it hasn’t been seen for about 200 years, but it’s a noteworthy event: the smooth handfish is actually the first marine, bony fish to go extinct in modern times.

I don’t understand what is wrong with hiring someone the interviewer likes. I can see there may be racism, misogyny etc at play here. But setting that aside for a second, if people like each other, all other problems can be solved much more easily.

There are easier ways to buy a citizenship

How does this compare with Microsoft's Blazor?

It’s another opportunity to rewrite orphaned services
