I never considered defining functions as I go. That is a good idea. Previously I've just relied on readline. typeset is a new find.

It might be good to have a function, which when called by another function, generates a file name associated with the calling function's name, using mktemp. It could even add the calling function's name plus its arguments to a log file.

Have you tried diving into some gnarly bugs or some off-critical-path items that would help you stay in the code while doing these other things? A manager’s job is typically about building a team as their product, but it’s also important to stay connected to the technical part - both for love and for relevance / humility.

Have you asked (if available) someone to help with recruiting? Maybe offload some of the nitty gritty things that you aren’t adding value on to someone that can, or somebody that works for you and is interested in that side of the work?

To enjoy every minute of the day requires understanding why you are doing it - to build your team. Connecting back to what it will get you may help.

If you’re stuck doing stuff you don’t want to do because somebody above you “said so” (the curse of middle management) then that may make things a lot harder but you may also talk to them to help shape your role into what you want for what they need.
This makes me sick. They need Interpol to flex up on the Vatican once and for all.
I don't think it will stay on mobile, but I do think it is and will remain targeted toward more casual gamers. Basically those who want something better than the river of adtech sewage that exists today but short of 'serious' gaming with a lot of depth. My prediction is that other than this initial flurry of titles, you'll see a small handful of more significant titles per year and a lot of shovel-ware... but free of tracking and ads. I don't see how a subscription model can support anything more for most game developers.
Given that the article refers to the sheltered workshop as "sub-minimum wage", I take the verbiage to mean that they are paid the Seattle minimum wage.
No. My salary has increased significantly here, and is noticeably higher than the rest of the department, but not so high that there aren't still IC roles in my city that pay higher. Quite honestly, my salary has been lagging 1-2 years behind my position, for the last half decade. This is a result of advancing internally, as opposed to advancing through job hopping. I've been okay with this trade, because I've received a large amount of training and safety to fail from the people above me that I believe it to be worth the trade in terms of career advancement.

In all honesty though, if you are unhappy with your day to day, no amount of money makes up for it. Hence the expression golden handcuffs.

Right, but the issuing bank splits the percentage fee with the payment processor. Again, this brings up the point -- with the issuing bank taking care of all that, what is the payment processor doing that realistically costs the other 50% of that percentage fee?

If you look at Visa's margins -- it's pretty clear the answer is: not much.
Early in my career I worked at a large company where the average dev age was late 30s. Quite a few of these people had taken a stab at management and returned to development.
Basically I was told this much - don't do it unless you're done with coding and desire to rise up the company ranks.

9 years ago I did such a bang-up job as the lead on a medium size product that I was offered a promotion to management. The first thing I asked was "can I still code?". No. I got my CS degree because I like doing that. Turned it down and accepted a promotion to a principal dev instead. Still, I was rather miserable in that environment. A year later I rebooted my career from .NET enterprise dev -> Rails consultant for early stage start-ups, best thing I ever did in my 20 years as a dev.

Automation is similar to outsourcing, in that you have a black box that you put in $.20 of resources and get out an item with no US labor. Even if you can solve the issues with outsourcing that probably doesn't help the majority of the problem.

The other thing with tariffs is if you put tariffs on steel that hurts automakers (since foreign ones have cheaper steel). You can then put tariffs on cars, everything, but then everybody puts tariffs on you. Also things like computers are more expensive which might hurt productivity. Most economists don't seem to think the whole thing is worth it, and there's countries like Brazil that do big tariffs and it doesn't seem to help them any.

For the most part, the promotional price is irrelevant to my decision to subscribe. What matters to me is the full freight pricing that I will be charged for my lifetime as a customer.

If I would be willing to subscribe at the promotional price but not at the regular price, they have a sales process that is designed to capture and retain my subscription dollars by obfuscating the true price at the time of opt-in and making it hard to unsubscribe after I realize how much it actually costs. Neither of these seem great from the reader's perspective.

It's true that you pay the inflation regardless of whether you use a card or not, though. And you only get the reward if you do use a card.

I have not had an issue with sleep mode in Linux since ~2007 or so. (In the early days, it basically didn't work at all)

I've had an XPS 13 9360 for two and a half years now, and an x230 for roughly four years before that. Before then it was a range of cheapo laptops, and while the touchpads and keyboards sucked, sleep mode was fine starting in the late aughts.

I can attest that it took a little while for sleep mode to function at all though. It was a non starter (not intended) in the mid 2000s, but the problems you describe has never been a problem I've had.
Nikon: 'The view through the viewfinder should be as natural as possible'
The Capital One Venture Rewards card gives me 2% back on all purchases (I'm in the US). It comes with a $60 per year fee. So, if I spend more than $3,000 on the card over the course of the year it's a net positive. Now, they have access to all of my purchase data but I get around $700 every year to spend on travel. I've weighed the costs/benefits and it's worth it to me.

Magnetic Variation Services LLC hired a friend out a coding bootcamp.

I actually have a number of friends and acquaintances in the industry. The field is ripe for technical enhancements, but then there is so much money no many in the upper ranks care at times. A number of them have ideas for businesses though I've not entertained the ideas much, having my own business I'm working on.
While this is true, so what? If you are miserable in a manager role, you're probably not going to advance that much in the manager track, because the higher up you go the more miserable you are likely to be.

I've found in general the pay differential between an upper level IC and a senior manager/director role is about 25%. So the question is whether you would (a) rather be in a job where you are miserable and stressed out but making 25% more, or (b) in a job you enjoy with much less stress but making 25% less.

I say the above all from personal experience. I am glad I spent my 3+ years in management, and while I think I learned to be fairly good at it, I was miserable and I am certainly MUCH happier now that I've stepped off that train.
In a democracy, random citizens can take over the government by winning elections. So where do you draw the line - if someone were to perceive an external threat where others were unwilling to speak up, and campaigned for election on that basis, would they get locked up? You'd make it so a government that was insufficiently prioritising self defence couldn't self correct.

This isn't a theoretical concern. Winston Churchill is an example of a politician who was warning of the dangers of Nazi Germany much earlier than other people were, he was nearly alone in the beginning at a time when other politicians were trying to make peace with Hitler or were openly unconcerned. Your proposal could easily have criminalised Churchill at the time when Britain needed him most.

I absolutely love the Macbook touchpad, the keyboard has gotten subjectively worse since around 2010 though imho. The only reason I bought my macbook (around 2015) is because of the touchpad (and screen) and while some laptops had equally good screens or mildly better keyboards the touchpad was lacking. Still hoping for a better hardware alternative in the future (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg) I don't think I'll throw down $3500 on a laptop again either.
By turning off most notifications I've put another step between looking at my phone and viewing notifications. Namely: I have to open each app to check notifications inside the app.

Not an uncommon story sadly. But take a moment to think deeply about this:

But I've also spent the last 9 weeks doing nothing but reading resumes, phone screens, and interviewing candidates. Staring at an excel spreadsheet mix of engineers I could out-code, great developers I can't afford, internal politics, and emailing recruiters all day, isn't what I went into engineering for. Being judged on my projected demeanor in meetings, ability to navigate politics, and clear bureaucratic hurdles for my team isn't itself enjoyable... its soul-sucking and stressful.

And remember back to things you did while coding that had similar levels of distaste/discomfort. In my experience, good engineers develop tools around doing the 'scut work' of engineering (checking regressions, processing code review comments, validating doxygen/documentation, Etc.) Whether it is setting aside a time, or coding some tools to automate the parts that are automatable (is that even a word?), and then as they switch from 'senior engineer' to 'manager' they have either forgotten or greatly damped down the memories of themselves making the painful things less painful.

Take resume scanning for example. When I started managing each new resume was like a brand new unrelated to anything before it, document. Each to be parsed, cataloged, evaluated, and then dispatched. Time consuming and sometimes mind numbing. To combat that I started writing down things that were common factors, things that turned out to be red flags at the interview, things that the recruiter could have screened prior to me seeing the resume, and in working with recruiters on their 'rejected' pile things that screened that shouldn't have. After hiring and managing enough people I started getting a better feel for the folks who I could work with and those who would be challenging. I also started looking at teams as a pool of skill sets rather than an individual set of skills. So if the team already had a skill covered it wasn't critical that the latest hire had it, but it was critical that they could cross train it.

As a result, scanning resumes stopped being a soul sucking waste of time, and I started "coding" my own process for processing them efficiently. Thinking of recruiters as a variant on lexical analyzers that needed to be tuned to return the right candidates, and ways to look at the candidate to identify skill sets that people don't often write down directly. Have they always worked in small groups? or large? Is their exposition full of more inclusive language or exclusive language. When I can, I like to 'blind' a resume, as names can trigger internal biases. The evaluation process becomes more like reading code and "running it" in my head. I got pretty good at reading code and being able to guess if it was going to work correctly, with time I've gotten better at reading resumes and guessing if they will fit into the current organization.

As you apply more of your analytic skills that you used every day programming to your management challenges (obviously with fuzzier variables and more opaque motivations of third parties) it starts to feel more like engineering and less burdensome.
The world we live in is an astonishing exception compared to pretty much any point in human history and one of the outcomes of this is that our instinct for price has been greatly skewed by the cheapness of things because of mass-manufacturing. Though certainly true in some cases, it's not that good, quality items of sturdy construction have gotten more expensive, it's that everything else we use normally -- all the cheap plastic shit from China -- is so cheap to manufacture, that the quality stuff seems so expensive.

What percentage of the world’s population is in a position to buy 5 acres of arable land and have half the couple tend to the farming full-time? 1 in 10,000? Less?
In general you hear people say a lot "Well, I went into management because the pay potential is higher and at an IC level you can really cap out fairly early".

Well, the reason the pay is generally higher is because it is, generally, a much shittier job. If the pay was the same between developer and management tracks you'd see a heck of a lot fewer people wanting to get into management.
AH!!! ok.. definitely my fault. I meant to say it's not really cross-platform and doesn't run on all platforms.

This was a big requirement for me - the ability to move between all platforms.

I'm managing in one form or another for ~12 years, so... somewhat experienced at least, but take with a grain of salt.

Does it get better? Maybe. That really depends on what you like. If you find joy in, essentially, coaching & teaching, it's a great job. If you enjoy politics, you'll be OK. If you get your joy from creating, it's much harder.

You still create, as a manager. Teams. Processes. Cultures. All things that have incredibly long feedback cycles, nowhere close to writing some code, running it, iterating. I've currently got things in flight that (hopefully) will pay off three years from now. There is no instant success.

That said, all the things where I as a dev said "Why on earth are we doing this stupid thing"? I get to fix those. Or, alternatively, to learn why it's not quite so stupid as I thought.

Politics will happen, though. Wherever humans interact, there are politics. There are healthy levels, and dysfunctional levels. (Everybody lobbies for their project, but there are plenty of lines they shouldn't cross)

Excel sheets will happen, too. After text docs and e-mail, it's your most important tool. (And many of us who came from tech nourish their yearning for building things by scripting the hell out of them, because that's all we get to code)

But again, if you like interacting with people, at some point, a switch will flip. You'll have a day of back-to-back meetings about genuinely interesting efforts, and you'll walk out of it thinking "Damn, I can't believe they pay me for just spending a whole day chatting about cool stuff". You'll see the first of your reports stepping into a leadership role. You see a multi-year, multi-team effort come to fruition and can honestly say "would've failed without me bringing the teams together"

So yes, it can be enjoyable. It depends on what you want, though. There's nothing wrong with doing a management stint and going back to coding after a few years, either. A lot of front-line managers bounce back and forth between the two sides.

Hope that's at least remotely helpful.

EDIT: Forgot to say that your place sounds... not quite healthy. It might be a question of finding a company that actually values managing and doesn't have it degenerate into total soul suck. They do exist.

The author of this service didn't think it important to provide the ssh key and based on the comments in this thread people have already signed up for this service without caring about the key.

It does! It runs great on Linux. I meant to say it's not really cross-platform.

> I can't even eat at a restaurant without knowing if they use organic produce.

That doesn't make sense. Organic produce isn't healthier than conventional produce. Even worse it requires significantly more water and allows for nastier pesticides and herbicides. Read up on the history of organic farming and look at what certification allows.
The difference is between the known interaction of chemicals that have existed for a considerable time as an agricultural product and synthetic chemicals that have unknown interactions.

How could they fail to realize that a measure of whether people wanted to see a movie would not be reviews of the movie? I think the possibility they failed to consider is they might find themselves in a political disagreement with the users of their site. Still, it's a wonder how they could have failed to anticipate that after the debacle surrounding the recent Ghostbusters movie.
hey, that sounds like democracy! ^_^

seriously though, i don’t really think it’s in a company’s purview to promote those values, otherwise they’d let their employees vote on who their ceo should be or wether their jobs should be outsourced or not etc... it definitely is in their purview to maximize their profit and at least in the short-term it would seem banning is “easier” (aka profitable) since it quells any “controversies” quickly enough...

please note, i’m not defending tech companies or payment processors banning merchants etc, just stating how i see it for my limited experience...

Isn't that in the very quote? "All of the spending tracking and other information is stored directly on the device, not Apple’s servers."

Apple Maps 'significant locations' feature and similar are also on-device only - Apple does not know where your home or work is – your phone does, but that data never leaves it.

MasterCard obviously knows what you purchase and where, as they are the ones processing the transaction, but that data transits Apple's servers in encrypted form, which Apple is unable to read by design, I expect.
This is a terrible viewpoint, life should be an enjoyable experience and if people (or pesticide companies) are lowering that enjoyment we as a society should act and throw heaps of regulations to force a better outcome. I have no pity for any profit margin that even comes close to my care for our collective enjoyment of life.
