You are in the wrong PR wise probably. Generally I think providing a way to opt out has become the path many projects take.
Anyway, their main beef appears that you are not properly anonymizing the telemetry.

It’s Apple.
We all kinda hate it but if you want to build UIs on the web you probably have to learn it. Start with mastering flexboxes
After that maybe allow yourself to look into something like cross platform flutter. https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/layout
That and the other native stuff (ios, android, the 10 windows layout languages) is not really any easier. UIs are tough to do well.
Always fun to see a new UAV startup. Did you use an open source autopilot (like ardupilot, PX4, Paparazzi, etc) or build something internally?
The microservices knowledge is the interesting stuff and transfers to the more complex hard to maintain things people build elsewhere. The infra stuff is generally toil you can figure out if you must. Keep at it or look for places using better infrastructure abstractions. (ok ok, I worked on CF so biased but feel your pain)
I think long term the java spring stuff will shoe horn you more than CF stuff but there’s plenty of work there.
Everyone wants a scapegoat and easy answers where there are none. That said SF government is provably corrupt (and every couple years someone goes down) but the Chesa recall is a side show.
Wait until they find out how many different teams and systems and plans they have to try and do real software subscriptions. Anyone who’s worked on billing stuff for software knows there won’t be anything rapid about this transition.
Trust your management skills and your people and you will be fine.
Sure, lots of engineering needs, but I work with some software PMs in the industry. Reach out.
Typical credit card transactions fees range from 1.5-3.5 percent so the 2 percent is not a terrible deal and businesses usually just eat it in retail and work it into the prices.
Usually there is language in the contract with the processor agreement that prevents businesses from charging different prices for credit card vs non credit card buyers.
I mean, “don’t leave stuff in your car” is a pretty basic tenant of parking on the street in any big city… but yeah, it’s kinda as described and has been for at least a decade or more.
Makes sense.
I don’t agree with this. Once it starts to click a bit, if you enjoy it, it’s not hard to make progress. Build things that excite you and keep at it. Don’t just study for the sake of studying - create things you want to use. Take the leap before you think you’re ready (waiting was my mistake) and apply for things that might be challenging or you feel you’re under qualified for.
(Ps. I’m a native English speaker and a terrible speller)
Don’t give up if it’s what you want to do. It took me about 10 years to make the switch from IT/network guy and another 12 being a dev to become a director of eng.
Btw, I’m hiring Python inclined people with strong Linux and distributed system experience to work on rockets. If this interests folks please get in touch.
If you want to run my favorite industrial strength ci system you can look at https://concourse-ci.org
Gives you the ability to install workers on Mac so you can do iOS builds if you like. Google around for concourse ci iOS for articles.
There are multiple ways to deploy concourse but the components are just go binaries when it comes down to it.
(Also, it’s probably overkill but you asked. I don’t know how apples ci system fairs today. It was always a bit rough in the past)
Perhaps it will show folks how their product and business decisions affect people day to day and improve the experience for everyone. As of now DoorDash is a service I won’t use and definitely won’t work for due to their terrible labor policies and replacing one bad tipping policy with another.
Mine (white, electric, Frigidaire) goes to 170F. Maybe you need a cheaper oven.
Interested to try it out. As someone who’s done a good bit of pair programming this way with tmux+vim on a cloud vm I’d love to hear what the advantages are over that kind of setup and the differentiators from tmux or screen.
So they can take screenshots/install RAT software for anti cheating etc.
If they don’t do a direct listing maybe they’ll let some old timers get in on the IPO like Airbnb did for hosts. Lurking for 16 years has to count for something right? :)
Yeah, they suck though. We do weekly at home PCR testing too and everyone is fully vaccinated so the masks are a little excessive but I guess better to be safe for now. It’s required so we can operate I think and we need to be there on-site since what we build are incredible complicated physical are things.
I get that it’s insane to open a business here and the 200k ice cream shop thing was ridiculous but in this case they asked them to put in a hood and some sinks which appears pretty reasonable.
Best chess engine name yet.
For these kinds of questions your age and at least country/state would help us orient and provide better help if that’s what you’re looking for.
But no, it’s not all a nightmare. But some jobs/managers/products certainly are. Never had a job in this industry I regretted moving on from.

They could, you know, make it easier for their employees to work on open source… What they really want is open source talent with inbuilt influence over the projects they are strategically interested in or dependent on.
Yes, more about form factor than speed but that’s a bonus.
They really need to build a board with a built in slot for NVMe 2 storage. Running stuff off an sd card is a data loss nightmare and upgrading with aftermarket NVMe stuff is annoying.
Suggest powering off devices when you get pulled over etc. This forces a passcode when they boot up in most cases now.
On iPhone now you don’t even have to power off. It’s enough to just get to the power off swipe screen and passcode will be required to unlock again when you hit cancel.
Take some of that money and pay for some therapy and talk about this stuff. Not meant to be a flippant comment - it’s genuinely the best thing you could do for yourself and your wife in this situation. Be prepared to fire therapist that don’t click though. Also, try and renegotiate commitments you’ve made to yourself and people in your personal and professional life. You can improve your situation!
