> I wonder if this would get a lot easier with a group. Like, is it easier for 50 people to survive on $100/week of food than for one person to survive on $2.

Yes, and this is basically the financial norm for the poor. Everyone has some money coming in, and the precise amount varies, as does the need for money ("unforeseen expenses in the $20 range"). So large families provide financing internally; when you have less money to hand than you need, you get help from your extended kin, and when you have more than you need, it goes to help your kin.

This is often phrased as "borrowing", but it isn't really; these transfers aren't supposed to be paid back.

When variations in income and expenses are backstopped by a group of dozens of diversified people, you can live right on the edge of your average earning power. When you're a single atomized person, you have more need for a buffer of savings, because your income and expenses are so comparatively erratic.

"Haskell. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."
This is such a good analogy, and really highlights the point that python 2 stalwarts look at organizations hiring for FORTRAN and COBOL today, and say to themselves, "Yes, this is the kind of organization I want to build." An organization that will either (most likely) be completely irrelevant in 10 years time or have to pay a massive premium salary for any engineer that can maintain their systems.

Anyone who suggests k8s as an alternative to Heroku is wrong. Heroku is a product that manages infrastructure so that the programmer doesn't have to, k8s is a solution for operational engineers that want a code-driven approach to managing their own infrastructure. Suggesting k8s as a replacement for Heroku is like suggesting docker as a replacement for EC2.

Pretty interesting story - basically one company in USA has "monopoly" on providing "paper" for your banknotes and the reason is mostly because they have been in business for centuries.

Funny story from my early days at one of financial corporations in NYC. I had a buddy who loved to collect money. So on his birthday one time I bought him and brought to the office an uncut 50-pieces $1 sheet that you can easily buy from BEP even up to $100s [1]

He loved the gift and many people were impressed you can buy them by uncut sheets. Unfortunately an HR lady was not convinced; next morning I have Secret Service (!!) at my desk with police officers ready to arrest me! Gladly they believed my story but only after I forwarded them an email receipt from BEP to prove I actually bought it from them, not printed at home myself! She never apologized to me but frankly I wasn't looking for one. Good times.

[1] https://catalog.usmint.gov/paper-currency/uncut-currency/

EDIT: thanks for posting Woz story, never seen it before.

Interesting fact about $2 bills (I am collector myself) - never buy them online at premiums, simply ask in bank especially before New Year where Chinese people ask for these (form of good luck) and you may get a freshly printed. BEP continues to print them and they are quite popular, but careful how you use them, you can get arrested if cops don't know they exist!

You can cross off any company over 1000 people from your list, if you had that as a requirement. My company is over 80,000 people, if our CEO met with each potential employee, he would never sleep.

And also, I have to say, it's a bit arrogant to think that you deserve the attention of top executives. You can't expect them to prioritize your interview over all of the other activities their company does.

> it's the people who's trailers are blown away who will be screwed

It's more people in developing countries that are going to get screwed. Sucks for poor people in the US too (in part because the US is becoming more like a third-world country as economic disparity and corruption increase), but it's going to be devastating to coastal third-world countries like Bangladesh.

My tin-foil hat theory lately is that the reason we are seeing a rise in fascism, nationalism, and closed borders lately is because those in power see a great tide of climate refuges coming in the future and don't want it to be their problem. They are treating the Earth like a zero sum game where if millions are to die, all that matters is that it isn't their country's millions.

In response to folks feeling that I'm being disrespectful of developers in other fields: you're right. And I apologize.

By way of explanation, this phrasing came out the slide deck itself, which was used as part of a recruiting effort at colleges for new hires. In many cases we were competing with offers from finance firms and felt the need to distinguish ourselves to compensate for their salaries

Having said that, I stand by much of my statement: assuming you have a choice between those two types of roles, you'll end up in a better place where your job is a path to more revenue rather than a cost to be minimized.

I disagree. It's broad in the sense that that the user could be searching for any number of things. It's not broad in the sense that the user is likely looking for a music listening app.

Think of the real world equivalent. In common conversation when someone says "I like music", do you presume that they enjoy listening to, or making, music?

I'd say the intent is pretty clear for the majority of users.

Most non-tech businesses have no budget for that kind of tech debt work.

That's fine. I'm sure there are some that also don't have a budget for fire insurance, or a security system, or whatever.

Granted, I make sure to ask these questions of the most senior non-founder programmer at the company.

"...Thus we are left with the inescapable conclusion that democracy became the dominant political form of the modern world not through human choice but because of an objective fact, namely, the association of democracy, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, with economic and technological success."

--Theodore Kaczynski, "Technological Slavery", Revised and Expanded Edition, p. 297

The naive view is that we "chose" democracy because it was a freer and more humane system. That's a total farce. On the contrary, modern democracy arose out of a process of natural selection because it was the social arrangement most conducive to technological and economic success given the environment. As the world environment changes (due to technology) there very well may be other social arrangements that will out-compete and replace democracy because they will be technologically and economically stronger.

Indeed. As a designer, I've seen 3000 DR articles. It's a pity designers abuse DR work just to justify their hedonisms. All apps I've seen with DR style have failed. I remember a bizarre podcast app for iOS in 2012 that was like insane DR nightmare and it was pleasant to eyes, but completely useless and utterly boring. It died against other options who were using generic iOS components. DR has born in another era of product design: most products had 1 or 2 features max. There were no playlists, no sharing, no connectivity, etc. It's easy to design when you have only those contraints.

Your research shows me that the underlying situation and cause is hardly something that "I am imaging" -- this is an ugly piece of mis-performant code.
> What's the status of / view on diverse hiring?

As someone who believes in value of diversity (just to be clear), for both organizational and societal reasons, I think this is an important question, for a variety of reasons -- but also a question that candidates might not want to ask.

Candidates might not want to ask, due to not knowing how the asking will be perceived. Or due to not wanting to mention some unapparent quality (e.g., being gay), because they don't know how welcome that will be, or they just want to be treated as, say, a developer, at that stage of meeting prospective colleagues.

It's much better if the company communicates its real policies/practices/culture and status proactively (beyond the standard HR equal opportunity statements), so no one has to ask.

An offer of employment is a contract, if there is an exchange of benefits involved in the agreement (you work for us X days a week, we pay you Y).

Even if it's only verbal, it's a contract; contract law applies, and if you can prove the conversation happened, you can enforce the contract in law.

This is the same in the USA and in the UK. But of course, it's much better to get a written contract before starting work (or moving home, if that's what it comes down to).

And (of course) it's much harder for an employee to enforce a contract against an employer than v.v. Contract litigation can be very expensive.

Just gotta say, its pretty amazing we live in a world where 1 billion dollars can get transferred pseudo-anonymously in a reasonable time frame, only costing the transfer party $600. As a really stupid, non-real-world comparison, Western Union has a transfer limit of $2500 per transaction, and a $20 fee per transaction. If you were to initiate a $1,000,000,000 transfer it would take something like 400,000 transactions costing you something like $8 million dollars in fees.
