> Why are people so willing to define themselves by their stance on any of these particular topics, to the point of being openly hostile to people with other positions on any of those subjects?

I can't speak for anyone else but for me, at pretty much the top of the privilege ladder, if I don't push back on the people who want to hurt others for their own gain, I'm just as bad as them. Which does make me openly hostile to racists, misogynists, homophobes, etc., yes but, I'm hopeful, also on the right side of history (and, yes, atoning for past sins when I was less understanding.)
> A junior dev after months of training could jump ship for much better comp now that they're less junior or that suddenly some other company's product interests them more.

Sure, but that's why you need to give people raises in line with market rates if you don't want to experience high turnover. That goes for junior and more senior people.

Companies often don't want to give big raises as junior people transition into mid-level, then senior. So many companies have a standardized 2-8% pay raise scale, which results in developers being drastically underpaid as they gain experience. The silly part of that is that those same companies are gonna have to pay market rate to replace those skills when their employees leave, and they have to eat the additional recruiting costs, lost institutional knowledge, and ramp up time for a new employee. Penny-wise and pound-foolish as it were.
A tiny laptop works great for focused work. When I'm feeling scattered I take my X-series ThinkPad to the coffee shop and work until the battery dies.
Did you read the article? Coffeeshop owners are not open office landlords, they want to cultivate a cultural hub for the local area. Yes, to them conversationalists are more interesting than non-talkers, not to mention that it feels awkward to be the only one talking in a room of people not talking. If you want a quiet space with wifi and power, work from home, rent an office, or go to the library.
Well, except that laptops are a plague upon the industry. Its not in the same league as reading a book.
> Savings causes recessions

If you save in traditional savings accounts, those become reserves against which banks can lend.

If you save in money market funds, those become available in the commercial paper market for businesses to fund daily operations.

If you save in sovereign debt, those become available for government programs.

If you save in equities or corporate debt, those become available to employees, new projects, other shareholders, etc.

The only scenario in which savings contributes to demand-driven recessions is if you literally withdraw cash and place it into your mattress.

Bottom-up control of the development process. Our own apprenticeship pipeline. Our own certifications. Genuine influence over interviewing and hiring practices. Minimum contract terms. Our own lobbyists. Promoting business for members outside of Silicon Valley. Our own jobs board. A general strike fund. Our own retirement planning and pensions system. A backup health insurance option.

The lobbyists can start by bringing down the exemptions on overtime pay for tech workers, and by trying to loosen immigration restrictions on the people of our industry.

> The best argument I’ve read against this initiative so far is that it may disadvantage rural folks

Rural folks are already heavily subsidized in Germany, e.g. commute expenses being effectively tax free no matter the distance, very much unlike the increased rent you pay for living closer to work. If anything it would be evening things out a little.

But of course that won't keep them from shouting this down for this very reason, completely ignoring the fact that drivers would be the most immediate beneficiaries of less congested streets. If this free transit idea would ever be realized (which I doubt) it would most definitely have to be defended at constitutional court level against stubborn "not with my tax money" resistance.
Maybe you can point me to an historical case of hyperinflation that was not due to a supply problem?, because I can't think of one.

Zimbabwe and similar are used continuously, by some people, as an example of the problem of running government deficits. That it's dishonest or ignorant.
A single corporation has a few people with much greater power than most of the other people.

Pointing out that there are many people doesn't imply that intentions don't exist. Even if you work at Google, the people that you see and the intentions that you infer for them, might not truly reflect the intentions of the people higher up.
Also a reminder, Google has lied about this in the past. E.g. http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2016/3/23/alumni-lawsuit-a... .

That being said, I think it's probably true that they've stopped doing so.
A lot (most?) transit systems in europe are completely at capacity at peak hours. In London and Paris they are at the physical limits of what you can do, say a train every 90 seconds. You cannot physically increase frequencies above that.

I also don't think you're doing a lot of reading in crush loaded trains, but whatever. I take the train every day but it's not like a nice relaxing intercity journey, in London rush hour it can be complete hell and is completely not productive when you have 4 people in a sqm.

In light of this, the decision to shut down nuclear power plants by 2022, but keep the coal power plants is, err, interesting? Sure, renewable sources are increasing, but fossil fuels are still the biggest source. I wonder where the energy for electric cars will come from if they truly become popular. Keep in mind that Germany imports energy. So phasing out nuclear power, while still importing from nations running nuclear is somewhat hypocritical (e.g. France has some plants along the border).

Even in Germany, politics are politics and fears are not always rational.

You could at least provide some evidence and supporting examples. Your comment just said that one followed the other. I'm criticizing your argument, not your conclusion (though I do think your conclusion is a bit of a stretch, but that gets into a whole other argument about what it really means for one event to cause another, is the Arch Duke's driver getting lost REALLY the cause of WWI or would it have happened anyway due to some other reason a few months later because Europe was such a powder keg, yadda yadda yadda).

The true enthusiasts rarely pay the bills. For one, people really dedicated to a certain hobby typically don't have the money that the casual folks do. For another, they know the cost/value of the service.

People building their own gaming rigs aren't paying local computer stores' markup. Ski bums have cheap season passes, get way more than their money's worth, and pack a lunch rather than pay $20 for a cheeseburger; only tourists pay $120 a day for one-day-pass. And so on.
Yes. "Mädchen" is the diminutive of "Magd", and thus neuter, as are all words in the diminutive. This not only goes for the diminutive suffix -chen, but for all German diminutive suffixes.
You are confusing senior devs and rockstar devs.

Rockstars are lone wolves, write unmaintainable code that works quickly for demos but gives the company pain for years to come as nobody can figure out how to make it stable or maintain it. A rockstar's reputation is self reinforcing because it's easy to get a lot of shit done when one doesn't have to worry about maintainability, communication with the rest of the team members or the company at large, and service.

Senior devs balance development work and "service", a term I'll borrow from academia - hiring, mentoring, speaking, writing docs, etc. They either find fun in these tasks as well (I legit enjoy interviewing and mentoring), or understand this is a necessary part of being a well functioning team player at a senior level.

In Tallinn (Estonia) free public transport was launched on the municipality level. What's interesting, is that despite criticism that this is too expensive for the city - free transportation has actually turned out to be profitable.

This is because only residents of the city can use public transport for free. So thousands of people, who have lived there already, but were not registered as residents, now declared their residency to access free public transport—and started paying their taxes there too.

Eh, sounds like smart preparation to play the game on its terms. Did those questions end up being seriously relevant to the work? If so, then you prepared yourself better for the job by learning the answers. If not, well, then maybe it's the interviewers who weren't so honest.
Almost all companies are product driven, not customer driven. I think AI has the most benefit to customer centric driven companies, and we sort of have to wait for companies to catch on and change before we can really start seeing the expected results.

Your story reminds me of the joke/anecdote of the way to cheat on tests. You religiously look over your notes and the textbook in the weeks leading up to the test, so that when you take the test it's like you have a comprehensive cheat sheet with you, but in your head.

If the hiring process wasn't able to distinguish between you or who they thought they were looking for, then it wasn't your responsibility to inform them of it.
It's not difficult for this American to imagine e.g. GM being treated quite differently had they committed the same offense. Granted, eventually they would have to stop cheating on emissions tests, but the narrative could have been completely different: "Due to its commitment to its customers and to the environment, GM is working closely with regulators to improve its emissions testing compliance, in light of new regulatory interpretations..."

The biggest reason people think this kind of thing is scary? They're remembering back to highschool when they had to march through math while being taught by people who barely understood it. They know they never would have done it without having been forced, and that idea kind of leaks backwards to early education.

There's a mythical "self-driven and exploratory" math education out there, but the cold reality is while essentially anyone would be able to supervise a journey through colors and counting only very few have even seen what's good about math. (Moreover, what small fraction of them would be willing to teach teenagers?)
So somehow the "isness" of our present nature is out of harmony with the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts us. And this simply means this: That within the best of us, there is some evil, and within the worst of us, there is some good.

When we come to see this, we take a different attitude toward individuals. The person who hates you most has some good in him; even the nation that hates you most has some good in it; even the race that hates you most has some good in it.

And conversely, within those people and nations you most love, there's some bad.

The role of the prohpet is to say both these things to their peers, who generally don't want to hear either.
Not entirely true. Software has natural monopoly characteristics. The only real solution around it has been alternative markets.

Apple couldn't budge Microsoft in the desktop market and they went "around" them by going into the mobile market.
The problem is that devs can get much larger salary increases by jumping to a new company rather than staying put. The solution to this problem is to reward them for their performance and increased usefulness, especially in their first few years.

>What is so valuable in the guests' "socializing" with each other?

Its the same value as socializing at any other venue. Or taking it back further, whats the value in socializing at all? Maybe there isn't any value for you. I personally prioritize meeting new people and forming local connections, over virtual long-distance connections. A cafe is a good place to do that, if people are open to the idea. AFAICT people glued to their laptops, aren't.

Those aren't the only two options.

9) Connection to social groups (or even communities). This exists for rare deceases and deceases that aren't strictly medical.

It seems that in the US people have been more obsessed with spelling things with their phone numbers. A practice likely tied to a time when television advertisements and phone numbers needed to be remembered to be effective. I find that I ignore almost all phone calls from numbers I don't recognized due to the prevalence of telemarketers, so I can imagine how this sort of hierarchy of numbers might appeal to certain people.

True, but so does everybody else. You shouldn't trust vendor benchmarks, but that doesn't mean you can't read them and use them as sort of a heuristic to help you come to your own conclusions. It might not be particularly scientific, but it's probably more than accurate enough for 99% of people.

I don't agree, senior tasks are often much more high-level and related to figuring out requirements/stories, or their tasks are hard enough that explaining them to juniors is not the most productive.

Access to information (e.g. the Internet) has been a game changer for buying "3D acceleration" as it was called back then.

I remember fondly in the late 90s just walking into a Best Buy (maybe Circuit City) and buying a GPU off the shelf.

I had no benchmark data like today. I bought based on whether or not I liked the packaging and how much video RAM did it have. Because I really didn't have much more data to go off of.

> You hire senior devs to guide you WHAT and HOW to code.

Every organization I've worked at (for the past 25 years) has relegated that rule to the much lower prestige, much lower paying, zero career path role of either "business analyst" or "project manager". If you can produce code, you'll be producing code - and by and large, that's the only way to have anything resembling a future unless you're on an upper management track.
