People talking to each other is great. I like to bounce off ideas but I don't like to report to a manager who cares only about time all the time.

The problem with that is, not everyone likes or can have alcohol. If all your events are centered mainly around alcohol, then you're isolating those people from cultures where alcohol use is not common or frowned upon, those people who may have problems with alcohol, and those people who just plain don't want to drink.

I'm not saying never have alcohol at company events, far from it. But don't have every event be centered around it. If you're going to do company events, you need to have a variety of different things, so that, while not every event is everyone's cup of tea, people don't feel isolated at every event, either.

Yes, it absolutely does. I recommend pursuing that approach.
So your struggle is focus and not hard work as such?

I think we all have problems with that from time to time, I catch even the most high paid and productive members of our organization have their procrastination routine from time to time.

If you catch your self in a hard procrastination loop too often, it might be a good idea to try something. For me it really helped to completely stop drinking coffee at work, it seems like it made me less focused. I heard others say that standing up while working helps them focus.

I don’t have any bones to pick with the CNCF: we’ve had opportunities to get connected and become involved, it’s just not in our best interests at this point to be super proactive. There’s so much surface area left to innovate upon and we have a finite amount of resources (we doubled our team size recently and will be doubling again shortly). You’re doing a fantastic job, and this whitepaper is great! I’d love to add in our $0.02 in the future, but that’s probably best done over e-mail: you can email me or I’m happy to reach out.

The differences in consensus building we’re doing are specifically around Serverless APIs and Serverless technology as a means to lower the barrier to entry into software development as a whole. There are some moving parts here that I’m not comfortable sharing publicly yet, but they’ll be announced likely by end of quarter.
> call duplicate conflicting versions of the same library where it is needed in your code

Cargo already does this automatically if two of your dependencies depend on conflicting versions of the same library.

The way I see it, society is kind of like a person.

When an individual is going through a difficult time, it's normal and considerate to be sensitive to that.

Society is currently going through a difficult period of transformation regarding its perspective on women. During this time, sensitivity is much appreciated. It might be frustrating in some cases, but viewing society as a person makes this more understandable, at least for me.

One easy way to have done this is by starting with your explanation before saying the thing that could be perceived poorly in the current context.

In the future, when this current period has mostly ended, it may be easier to speak more frankly on formerly sensitive topics.
This isn’t about social media. This is about control

Everyone here knows SV company environments are hostile working environments for conservatives. Even multi-billion dollar companies espouse far left populous views.

The mass of the moon is only about 1.2% of that of earth.

Also, “early on” earth is much, much closer than the moon. The gravitational pull of the sun is >100 times as large as that of the moon there, and both are minute compared to that of earth (you don’t feel much lighter or jump higher when the sun or the moon are overhead, do you?)

> I thought the three alternatives were "women are bad at it", "women don't enjoy it", "women are being actively put off it by the men being even more sexist than the sexism baseline of men in other career options".

It seemed like it was "women don't enjoy it" was largely the point. That even if women are just as good at math and science as men, that they are even better at other things, and that in societies with greater equality of opportunity women prefer to work at those other things.

> If this is claiming they're actually better skilled than the men, then it opens up more space for the comparative sexism option I would have thought?

Again, it the article emphasizes that women are better at other things, not necessarily science or mathematics (in some countries they are, but not all).

> Just the fact that it contradicts the common wisdom that "women aren't capable of STEM" seems to lend some support to sexism clouding people's objective evaluations.

Perhaps people are misreading a lack of interest as a lack of ability. In any case, it weakens the notion of sexism as a causal factor in the employment gap.
"taking all holidays until the end of the notice period"

Do you mean bank holidays? Cause regardless of how you feel about your company, you should always take those. Rest and disconnect from work are important, especially in environments where you really like the work or the job, and the risk of overheating is much greater.
Yes, and we should be encouraging more of that. But as programmers (well to my mind anyway) it nags us when we look at inefficient solutions, even those which are reasonably robost/adequate. We tend to scoff at people using Visual Basic to solve a business problem, when its probably the best language for a large chunk of the problem space.
My experience is that exercises don't capture the skills you need - the hard part is understanding the domain and descoping the problem as much as possible, if you start with a well-defined exercise you've already taken out the essence of the problem. The only way to hit the walls is to try to solve a genuine problem - and even then, if you don't hit the wall there's no way to know whether the problem was too easy or you were too good.

Maybe none of the problems we currently solve with computers actually demands beyond-the-wall programming, if we just used tools that were good enough. Certainly most of the time when automating business processes I would find it very hard to believe there was 20k lines' worth of essential, irreducible complexity in the task. It's just that with today's tools most of the lines we write are ceremonial, with relatively little describing the essence of the problem.
How do you aggregate these?

> This is always a risk with new tools and techs.

Absolutely. Whenever I see a new project, I look at business risk and technology risk. Either one is OK, but both are not. (I picked that up from someone, don't remember who).

I think that there's real value to being a Tom Bombadill (and really learning a language/framework/problem space deeply) as opposed to being a Gandalf. However, one fundamental issue is it's easier be a consultant and speaker if you are focused on the new shiny objects, and so much of what is written is from that perspective.

I wonder if this is because one never rounds down to zero, so that finer grained estimates automatically pad themselves. I've noticed that estimates run higher and higher, the longer the
planning meeting lasts.
The fundamental problem here is that C compilers just don't have enough information about your code. An "unsafe pattern" that might warrant a warning in one place may be crucial in another.

Rust's innovation here is that it can separate these cases based on lifetime annotations on functions and types, where the program text itself disambiguates its intentions.

So to get much closer than current -Wall -Wextra, you need to either impose some default assumptions (the C++ core guidelines do this) or start adding annotations somehow.

you have an MVP that sounds like you've actually honored the "M" part (as many fail to). You find it useful already. Do you honestly think you won't be able to get $500 worth of customers? If you really think that, then just stop. It's not worth your time, because $500 worth of customers is nothing. I'm assuming you're charging more than $1.

If you can get more than $500 worth of customers then who cares? All businesses have costs. The question is, can you recoup them?

Yes, you can incorporate yourself online for like $150, and about an hour with google will tell you which form of corporation is the best fit for you. Probably S-Corp I'd bet. C-Corp is probably overkill.

BUT regardless of if you use that Stripe service or not, use their $500 barrier of entry as a guide for if it's worth continuing or not, because obviously it's enough to make you pause.

To me, your line of thinking seems to suggest that there is some end-game where a canonical program could be written and all programs would converge towards this with standardization. But that won't happen just by standardizing structure. The structure still holds content which has to adapt to those business goals etc.

I think it is more helpful to think of programming like other writing tasks. The difference in size and structure of programs is more like the difference between tweets, blog posts, shopping lists, poems, political essays, short stories, daily news articles, novels, anthologies, text books, academic articles, encyclopedias, court records, state constitutions, legislation, car repair manuals, and tomes by Russian authors.

Having standards and idioms for structure in writing doesn't remove the need for writing, creative input, nor even for creative exceptions to those standards and idioms.

The Natural Rate of Interest Is Zero (2004) [pdf]
I've been using jsonlines for logfiles from about 5 years before it acquired a name.

With line delimited logfile objects, it's easy to grep for a string of interest and then only parse the lines that match -- much more efficient than parsing an entire logfile to pick out 0.01% of the lines.

That's not the usecase talked about in this article, but it is a usecase that's important to me.
In Australia, we have a public-private model for hospitals and health services. However, I think there's starting to be a greater awareness that private health insurance for many holds increasingly poor value, compared to what is available publicly under government funding as well as simply saving up what would be paid to private health insurance companies and instead directly pay health providers from one's own bank account. To date, everything I've learned about private health is that it's to maximise profit while being able to provide a semblence of good value healthcare.

Here are a some links I've collected on the topic - obviously, I'm a little biased but I have yet to see any compelling case for privatised healthcare on essential services:

I'm launching an SEO-As-A-Service Business – Will it work?
I am currently putting the finishing touches to a side project where I am offering SEO products on a buy what you need model, through an online store.

I am interested to know if you would use a service like this and what services you would like to see on there.

Currently have products around link building, press releases, technical SEO auditing and more.

Just interested to hear some thoughts.
This one bit me. When I was fresh out of school I worked for a "from the garage" startup. I was naive and working around the clock nights and weekends, and the owners told me to think of it like I was part of a family. I fell for it, thinking "we are all in this together" and using it to justify the stress and hard work.

When the company succeeded, due in part to the systems I built and designed from scratch, I was unceremoniously asked to leave a few weeks before the transaction closed for many millions. I was asked to leave because as we drew nearer to a sale of the company, I had the nerve to ask for the company to put on paper how I would be a part of that transaction, since I had been verbally promised that "a rising tide floats all boats" and I would be rewarded handsomely for my work. Mistake #2 of 1000 then, accepting a verbal agreement over one in writing.

In the end, when I asked about getting it in writing so close to the sale, I was asked to leave. When I said, "but, you told me I was to think of this like a family", I was told, "we thought you were smarter than that".

That episode did a lot of damage, and I never saw anything meaningful in terms of compensation- the owners got fabulously wealthy.

I made many mistakes then, and I could have pursued legal action, but it was all too painful.

Since then I always try to insulate my feelings and remember that in a professional setting I can always do my best and be professional, but to always remember that to others, it really can be "just business". It's important to keep some distance and avoid emotional abuse at work, both doing it and receiving it.

It's not to say we can't be friendly, but just to be professional, honest and ethical in the workplace, always.

Edit: I meant to mention, that in this job, I was working for the "changing the world part", but when I saw the imminent sale coming and I had nothing, felt I had to ask if I would be a part of it. Back then, it was a mistake for me as well, to assume that I was going to do good and get handsomely rewarded and expect that the two would come together. I think it can happen, but I learned the hard way how to compartmentalize changing the world and getting paid with simply doing necessary work to get paid and survive.
