It amuses me when relatively new branches of study with poor to non-existent predictive modeling capability criticize "arm-chair" experts on accuracy/predictive aspects. Criticize methodology, data, or conclusions, not authority. This should be applied even in very well established domains.

The fact is, there really are no good predictive models yet. There are a lot of very good and legitimate reasons why there are no good predictive models dealing with complexity, scale, and an inherent connection to human behavior.

Now, this doesn't mean we throw our hands up and anything goes: we should still provide rationale and people should continue to study these systems methodically as they can. At this point, much of professional economics vs armchair economics isn't too far separated from chemistry:alchemy or astronomy:astrology hundreds of years ago. Obviously, there was great merit in the work early chemists, astronomers, etc. took on since we can now stand on their shoulders. Economics shouldn't be belittled, yet at the same time, it should be recognized for what it is: still not very predictive.
Wireguard itself is probebly not buggy, but the problem is the whole software and infrastructure around it can absolutly be buggy. So it makes sense.

Any chance you could clear up my confusion?

You answered "yes" to the question "Do you really argue that the people in the top 0.01% are contributing to society at a rate hundreds or thousands of times higher than the rest of the people?", and yet now you seem to be claiming that you have not asserted that they are producing disproportionate value.

They are still claims.

> I don't need to make any claims

But you did.

> ... because I can just stick with the status quo, merely because it is the status quo.

Then you should have done that, rather than falsely claiming you did it after the fact.

> The burden of proof is on the people who claim that the current status quo, of CEO compensation is for some reason, out of line.

True. It is also true that you have a burden of claim, because you also made an assertion.

Many of the stories were people with marginal finances at best who had a medical issue (it goes without saying that medical issues are unexpected) and got destroyed in the process. So real suffering here.

Sure life is political. We can have protests, vote for candidates, engage in civil disobedience and all that.

What I don’t want is anyone making it a point to bring their personal politics to work. We have other forums for that.

Don’t politicize every part of our existence. I wanna go to work and provide some productivity to my employer. If I don’t like their politics I can vote at the ballot box, donate to causes, volunteer etc. I don’t need to bring my POVs to work. You may not like mine, I may not like yours. We don’t need this kind of confrontation at work.

Unionization is political but it’s on a different plane. It’s worker vs employer rather than potentially worker vs worker.

Do we really want to approach a time when one group of workers takes one side, another takes another side and they protest against each other and cause disruption to the vast majority who have no interest in getting personally involved?

Presumably both groups would have this “right” though be their opinions different.

If any of these things are true, you will either know them well enough to know how to talk to them about it, or they will ask you explicitly for your input. In either case, you will not need to write an article asking the entire Internet for suggestions on how to talk to them.

In other words, I am not saying the things you describe cannot happen; I am saying that the fact that the author of this article had to write it at all means none of the things you describe are happening in the case he describes. If they were, he would know it and wouldn't have had to write the article in the first place.

This is a cultural issue that needs correction starting in schools where it gets repeated day and day out to respect others and the property of others. Then top this off with not accepting politicians who incite negative behavior by telling people their situation was caused by others whose gains were unfairly acquired. It is far easier for people to reason theft if someone in authority gives them that scenario, that people who have more than them probably did it unfairly and it is not just that they lack the same.

> ...kids whose parents bought more expensive houses to get their kids into better schools tend to be kids who are easier to teach, for a bunch of reasons.

Those parents tend to emphasize education. Those parents tend to encourage literacy, and discourage bad behavior toward teachers. This creates an environment where all of the children, more or less, have a reasonable environment for learning, but the largest contributing factor is the parental involvement.

Children don't become magically easier to teach because of resources. Resources at home, however, can help the parents focus on their child's behavior and amenability to learning. This means that the problem of ineffective education of poor children must be addressed at home, not in the school.
He starts out presuming the problem is with the receiver or the words. He never considers it could actually be him in a way he doesn't yet perceive. This is evident as he doesn't even appear to get the gist of the mhoye blog post that triggered his question.

> "The more self-effacing I make it, the more I try to put in that I think the trouble is only in my own understanding, the more mocking and sarcastic it seems to me and the more likely I think it is to be misinterpreted."

His trying so hard to be "self-effacing" brings to mind Shakespeare's line, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

He considers the TEN different phrasings, yet never the straightforward and humble "Did you ever try sshd?". All ten reflect a patronizing attitude, the assumption that his immediate intuition is correct by default. The "naïvely" one comes off to me as obnoxiously pseudo-humble.

Complex wordings aren't random. They reflect something of the speaker's mind or attitude.

There is a good reason why many people love the way very young children put things so simply, without mask or artifice. WYSIWYG.

I believe the author, Mark, has good will. But good will is not the same as humility, nor does it give one self-awareness. Like a man who believes he isn't sexist because when he, a man who's never been in a woman's shoes, looks in the mirror he doesn't see any sexism.
Actually, that's a pretty convincing argument.
My argument would be (I didn't make one), canvas the public and provide what they want. The folks that show up, are there because they find what they want. Folks that don't find what they want, aren't coming. So its hard to tell what 'real' circulation statistics would be, for properties they aren't keeping in stock.
That is a very good point on it possibly being regulatory related. I agree, that is probably also a big part of it.
My point is that if you buy something (a company in this case), financing ~29% of the purchase price with debt ($10t/($10t+$25t)) does not feel super levered.

You point is valid as well, and the useful context (again not provided by the article) would be metrics like debt/EBITDA or fixed charge coverage ratios
> But being a skilled explorer is just as important a skill, but harder to codify.

Sure, but making progress is easy to see. Writing maintainable code is equally a trade-off, you don't want to overbuild and overcomplicate it either. I'm also not convinced that codification ultimately leads to more maintainable code. There's a reason jokes exist about "enterprise Java".

> In short, there is a difference between bad code and exploratory code.

Is there any way to know that a priori? Or is exploratory code simply the ones that were successful, and bad code the ones that weren't?

"Software engineering" is like other engineering in that trade-offs must be considered, and different aspects optimised for. And I broadly agree developers should be aware of what aspects are valuable to the business. A few developers never want to hear about the business needs, but usually it's a failure of the C-suites or tech leads to built a culture that communicates and emphasises those needs, especially to junior developers.
> what if the thing he was being very critical about was you?

I probably wouldn't like it. So?

To evaluate the situation, we would have to know what he was being critical of. For example, his take-down of Uber's "corporate values" was brutal, funny and IMHO fully justified.

> Read the linked post I sent.

I did read the blog post you sent. Had actually read it before. It didn't gain any substance on second reading, unsubstantiated accusations of...what exactly? Not making the poster feel as warmly cuddled as they want to feel. So while I probably don't agree with the poster even if things were exactly as she describes, we are not given any actual real situations to evaluate whether that it actually is the case.

And I've never seen him take down people, except Larry Ellison, maybe, only code, technology,

See: Egoless Programming, or "You are not your code".

I have worked in many different environments, and in the end the ones that were of the "cuddling" kind, particularly when self-proclaimed were the highly toxic ones, whereas the ones with the refreshing-sometines-verging-on-brutal candour were the healthy ones.

So while I also don't know the poster you referred to, to me it is those people that are turning this industry toxic.
