Dwelo | San Francisco Bay Area & Draper, Utah | Software Engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE
Dwelo is the operating system for apartment communities. Our IoT platform is the infrastructure enables the owners and managers of multifamily properties (think, apartment buildings) to improve the efficiency of their operations while offering smart homes as an amenity to their residents. We're live in several thousand apartment units, in well over one hundred communities, coast to coast in the United States.

More about what we are building and what we value: We process an absurd amount of sensor readings and device commands every day. We want to put this information to good use to help building owners make sound ecological decisions about saving water, energy, heat, and more. Our entire engineering team cares deeply about privacy and personal security, and we want to ensure our product is built with those fundamental principles. We know that our customers rely on our systems working all the time, every time, and our motto is, 'Move fast and build secure, verified, fault-tolerant systems.'

We are looking for people with 4 or more years of industry experience to work with us building our cloud APIs and data services supporting our IoT platform. We are especially interested in talking to engineers who build with Python, Rust, and Scala.

There can be a problem with reducing fat and protein significantly while using carbs for the majority of caloric intake. This can lead to diabetes. But you can do this on an omnivore diet as well.
Facebook will not change until there is sufficient external pressure - be that an authority, competition, etc. - to force it to change. End of.

That's because the developer's OS support is outside of Vivox's prerogative. They tried to change the developer's plans because they couldn't fit in them. If their reply had been something along the lines of "We don't support Linux and can't help you with that" I'm certain most people would be fine with it.

Their original reply makes me think of a hotel that can't accommodate a family of four so they suggest you leave the kids to the grandparents and go on vacation alone. It solves their problem, not yours.

Is Tesla really ready for a long protracted war against Uber, Waymo (aka Google), and other autonomous taxi companies?

Tesla just spent (probably) ~$100 Million or so developing a 14nm chip, already obsolete (NVidia has a 12nm chip already, Intel/MobilEye has 7nm incoming 2020, and who knows what Google/Waymo got up their sleeves. Those TPUs are fully proprietary and fully to Google/Waymo's advantage). 7nm is deployed and shipping, Tesla's already behind.

And now you're telling me that to "raise money", they're entering another highly competitive field full of companies who are literally willing to lose money over the next 5-years on this idea?

That's straight up madness. I'm sure autonomous taxis will eventually become a reality, but no company is going to make money in that field for 5 to 10 years. The other companies like Google / Waymo are going to do what Silicon Valley does best: loss lead for years and years to build a customer base, before raising prices and eventually making a sustainable business.

Tesla has already spent all of its cash and loans on Gigafactory 1, Gigafactory 2, and Gigafactory 3. Scratch that, Gigafactory 3 isn't even complete yet (and is estimated to be a few billion dollars alone in costs...).

At best, Tesla will have to enter the autonomous taxi industry offering goods at cost (or higher: trying to make a profit). That's innately going to put them severely behind Google / Waymo, who will loss lead their way to cheaper prices and more customers.
> Unless you're claiming that hospitals only gouge some tiny subset of people and are benevolently generous to everyone else, that number is going to be much closer to 100% than 0.1%.

Actually, yes. Doctors and hospitals have relationships. When a hospital is aware that a good referral source referred them a patient, they will try to keep the patient happy to maintain that source of business.

They're very selective about who they try to screw.

Now if you walk in with no referral and no family doctor, then you're their source of profits and the party they'll try to milk.
Microsoft | Boulder, CO | Senior Software Engineer | ONSITE (can frequently work from home) | Full Time

Microsoft is looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Boulder, CO for its Commercial Software Engineering (CSE) team.

This is a role where you will work with a wide range of technologies and languages, developing cloud solutions side-by-side with software engineers outside of Microsoft. We are looking for a senior engineer who has a strong background in cloud architecture, a history of mentoring junior engineers, and strong software engineering skills. The role does involve traveling to customer locations roughly twice every three months (flying in on a Monday and out on a Friday) - all travel is planned well in advance.

This isn't a consulting role - there are no billable hours, we work side-by-side with external engineers building projects with them, not for them. Project schedules are determined collectively by both parties and we ensure we don't burn engineers out (work-life balance is a high priority). This role doesn't involve any on-call responsibilities during or after a customer project.

Getting people to pay more for low latency doesn't make sense.

People in manufacturing know that high latency increases costs. That is, to have high latency, you have to delay things in transit.

That doesn't make money, it costs money. The cheap way to run a network is to keep traffic flowing so it doesn't jam up.
> It's not infeasible to train an automated driving system specifically suited to the streets of LA or wherever. Some place where it doesn't snow, doesn't rain often, and drivers/cyclists/pedestrians are fairly predictable (at least compared to someplace like Asia).

I work at a large national software company who shall remain nameless. At some point, they determined that "we are now Agile" and put all work in a tracking software, and everything must now be assigned to sprints.

But if you dig any amount of depth down it becomes ridiculous. An example I found, the helpdesk literally has one project every sprint ("Ticket resolution: February Sprint 1", "Ticket resolution: February Sprint 2", etc.)

Or tasks that used to take 2 or 3 days now gets split across 2 or 3 sprints, because guy 1 can't allocate it to guy 2 until he finishes it. And it just sits around until the next sprint.

Even creative departments are supposed to snap-to. The idea is a recording a video should be a dozen or so tickets in Jira (edits and revisions happen as bugs). These teams are smart and overworked enough to completely ignore the directive.

And the amount of PMs has increased by an order of magnitude, because taking things in and out of the tracker has become its own workload because managers want to see more and more detailed 'analytics', so work get broken down into finer and finer pieces.

I describe the situation as if someone tried to make their truck lighter and faster by bolting a Lotus onto it.

One advantage that isn't mentioned in the article: code examples. As a monorepo grows, it's more likely that someone else using the repo somewhere has attempted to do the same thing that you want to do, and you can use tools like searchcode to easily find usages and see how they did it. Often this works better than documentation, which for internal projects tends to be non-existent or out-of-date.

One disadvantage: a lot of IDEs don't cope well with monorepos as they try to index the entire thing.

Does any one have good (as in: known to actually have had a positive effect in the past) insights on how to convince your manager(s) that (at least their version of) "agile" is not helping the company?

My wife works in a company where the managements seems to be quite "proud" to apply "agile methods" but in my wife's opinion, it's more BS bingo than producing a measurable boost in productivity, quality, or any other desirable metric. It is her impression that they are forced to adhere to certain routines even when the benefit is questionable. For instance, every morning at 9pm the whole department has a "daily scrum meeting", but most of the time there's nothing important to report from the day before for a lot of people, so it tends to lead to either embarrassment, pressure, or to people making crap up just so they have something to say. Needless to say that this doesn't lead to "team building".

That's just one example.

So, either the specific way "agile" is executed in my wife's company is just stupid, or the whole methodology is perhaps not applicable to their setup -- or something else. But it seems that the current practice is just a gigantic waste of time, yet the management is so proud of their "agile" way.

How could this situation be improved? Any tips?
> much of what is being said has a huge element of alarmism.

Could you kindly provide any evidence for this sort of claim?

And could you provide any sort of evidence that we should even use effort to examine Lomborg's claims, much less try to use it as what we compare the USDA to? He has a history of being wrong, and ignoring that history in order to "stop alarmism" seems like an equal sin to any potential alarmism.

Outlier analyses that have a history of producing incorrect analyses should not be taken as a gold standard of anything.
Bad management is Nosferatu: it's a blood-sucker by design. If you take Dracula out of the Carpathian Mountains and move him to Carfax Abbey, Dracula is not going to stop being a blood-sucker, he's just going to start drinking Lucy and Mina's blood.

Agile is, to my mind, more likely to get you to the right place than something like waterfall. But all the methodology in the world won't save you if management is bad. Putting the blame in the right place is a good place to start, though. If you're living through a bad agile process, saying "I hate bad management" puts the blame in a more correct place than "I hate agile."
