I guess this is because they got a new CEO recently, which makes total sense as a shakeup is needed.

But; has anyone else ever experienced the "swell" of middle management and "restructuring" which always seems to result in more people in management positions?

I've now worked in three companies where this is extremely apparent. In the latest company I've gone from 3-degrees from the CEO to 6 in little over ten months.

I think I understand why this happens: you need to promote people, but:

1) Is it bad, I suspect it is because there's usually not _more_ managerial work than there is individual contributor work- but then more managers tend to need more managers to talk to/make powerpoints for/make decisions without involving the team

2) If it's bad, is there any way to stop it?
Repentance — yes, galore, it's exactly the expexted action from the one accused of transsgression. Write a long blog post condemning the bitter mistake, step out from your post, if you have any.

But on the banner on this religion is not Love, but Justice. So, forgiveness is hard to obtain. It takes either converting into a zealot, or hiding in oblivion. "If God were to show justice instead of His endless grace, we would all end up in Hell", wrote one medieval theologician.

This whole thing is thoroughly medieval, if you look at it at a certain angle. While declaring that it stands for progress, it rejects the values of the Enlightenment much more deeply than many alt-right philosophers who flaunt this rejection.

If you ever wondered what highly westernized Iran might look like before the revolution, this may provide a glimpse. Feeling righteous and rejecting doubt is a powerful and addictive drug :(
Generally speaking - I am suggesting that there was a coordinated effort to utilize the pandemic in order to better ID and track outside of the traditional means (ie. advertising to consumers) - they need to fix the ID problem so to speak (ie...online anonymity) - they want to final mile everything.....so they can fully track everything.

The pandemic was the perfect opportunity - so they coordinated between big tech and government to setup more and more tracking systems - Apple and Google knew ahead of time, just like the politicians and CEOs who ran before the announcement with buckets of share sales....

And then there is the solidarity and collective front to ensure that no dissent was heard (ie...fact checkers) and cartel like collusion between platforms to silence and coordinate news.

Then there is the fact that they have managed to make health and science immune to the forces of criticism and public disclosure....

or how about the media sucking at the tit of big tech for years trying to get at that sweet sweet ad nector....
Yep. I learnt about this when I was learning Rust (which makes this a compile-time error). I was very glad I didn't have to learn this and the 100 other things like that seem to exist in C++ the hard way!

I think this perception of alternate realities is something the Democrats are actually encouraging. It makes perfect political sense to cast the opposition party as completely out of touch with reality. It also perfectly complements the existing sentiment of "reality has a well known liberal bias".

If they aren't getting the people they need, yes obviously they're not paying enough.

What other definition of 'paying enough' could you possibly use? You pay people to get them to work for you. If they aren't willing to work for you then you're not paying them enough to work for you.

> Should that company in Idaho struggle to find devs?

Not sure how we've got to saying I think they 'should' struggle to find devs? I think they probably will though.

Tell me how do you define 'paying enough' that isn't measured by some metric like 'getting people to work for you'?

I feel this. One of my favorite artists, Ray LaMontagne, has entire albums that he has apparently (due to essentially rumors and, at some point, wikipedia) worked hard to completely remove from the internet. They're from his early days and a little different in terms of his style and voice, but I never found anything definite about the reasoning. However, these albums have some of my absolutely favorite material of his, far more than what you can find on even YouTube now and I was fortunate enough to get some of the tracks digitally years ago and hang onto them. Some of them have even been covered more recently and become pretty popular.
Logically speaking then the person who did the 30k dance and then went to school and got a job making 6 plus figures know more than either of those groups?

Contrary to what the other poster says, I think the right response might actually be to continue eating meat, albeit perhaps in smaller amounts (or with an epi-pen/benadryl nearby) depending on how you feel. Assuming the bite is an initial 'innoculation' to prime the allergic response, you would want to now train your body that alpha-gal is an OK thing (because, see how much of it is in my diet?!). We still have so much to learn about the immune response, but one thing thats becoming apparent is that allergies are caused by not priming our immune system enough (think too sterile home environments, avoidance of peanuts during early childhood). Even with severe peanut allergies they've found that relief can be had by introducing minuscule amounts of peanut to sufferers over a prolonged time period, like allergy shots[0]. Waiting out your antibody readiness might literally take forever (e.g. think measles vaccine)

My alternative would be to establish a land trust to manage the apartment building. Then you can provide housing for 3 other families without also making a profit off of them. Here's an example of a Land Trust: https://www.sawmillclt.org/

The argument is often as you say, that Land Lords add value by giving housing where people couldn't otherwise afford to live. And this is undercut by two points:

1. The landlord isn't the essential part there. If the point is to provide housing without having to buy, that's easily done with land trusts and co-ops. The only downside is that there isn't a Landlord to make a profit, but it's better for society as a whole.

2. If landlords didn't buy up properties for the purposes of turning around and renting them, the property values would be lower because there wouldn't be as much demand on the market. Then a decent portion of the people you're talking about not being able to afford to live there ... would be able to afford to live there.

Highly hierarchical, "top-down" organizations end up requiring a lot of managers in order to "enact" the top down policy decisions. The more decisions are imposed top-down instead of bottom up, the more management and administrative overhead you incur. Management is needed for top-down decisions because you need someone to "convince" teams to do something for you. Ideally, it's obvious to employees that the change is good and necessary, but if it's not, then this coercement requires enforcement - hence more management.

The opposite end of the spectrum is "flat" orgs, like Valve software, who have few/no managers. In a flat org, all decisions are bottom up.
I’d love to see this correlated with data on prevalence of “casual” dating, satisfaction with dating, and something like # of dating partners before marriage. I have a strong suspicion that the rise of online dating has had many not-so-great impacts on expectations, satisfaction, and finding a partner in general, but I have very little data to back that suspicion up.

Not when we can a have a logic stable and well made standard. Like the metric system. I am pretty sure that I would have a problem with any alternative to the metric system. The more we are to use it the better it become.

Evolution can and thrive through cooperation and mutual aid. I would be fine with having one standard implementation of a browser engine if it was not rule by a greedy corporate like Google, Apple or Microsoft.

You can’t get a senior dev for 120k. Market rate for a senior dev is easily approaching 200k and that doesn’t count FAANG (in which case total comp for a senior dev looks like 400k /year). These numbers are only going up, due in part to reasons mentioned in the article.

It’s totally possible that many businesses are not viable.

There is room to get that money for the most part though. Pull it from exec salaries.

There are plenty of people that cheerfully post extreme opinions, even under their own names on Facebook. I get the impression that these people are some combination of: reckless/impulsive, in a social bubble, "got nothing to lose", or not very careful thinkers. I think that the effect of more careful and cautious thinkers self-selecting out of the conversation is often just to make the conversation dominated by the above sorts of people, and I don't think that's an improvement.

Many people would not be able to afford shelter even if there were no landlords. Can someone making $10 an hour afford a $500k house? Landlords are providing shelter to people who otherwise could not afford it.
The state or local authorities could easily rent out to those that do not own, social housing already exists and used to be far more common. Entire countries had nothing but social housing before 89. Private landlords aren’t the only way renting can work.

A single minimum wage used to be enough for a family to get a mortgage, that has not been true in many decades in most countries.
This is exactly what I've been telling some friends who've been at the same jobs for the past 5 years getting 3% standard raises. They don't even take into account the inflation (which itself may be underestimated). I always tell them they're actually losing money every year by staying at those particular jobs.
I think you mischaracterize these people as "rabble". Many of the vocal "woke" figures are highly educated, highly intellectual, and well-off. Professors, top business officers, high-achieving scientists, writers, engineers.

They do it not because they are stupid, for they are not. They truly believe that what they do is right, that it's the shining path to the better future.

> The people who maybe could have paid their rent on time but didn't want to reduce spending in other areas to compensate for it end up okay.

Honest question- do they in fact end up OK? What about their credit? I imagine most credit agencies, future landlords, lenders, etc. would consider it material information to know whether a borrower / prospective tenant had declined to / been unable to pay their rent for over a year.
The CA certificate for the seized domain is Amazon and the domain is now hosted on Amazon. Presumably Amazon has an agreement with the FBI to support such cases.

To put it a bit more precisely, there is neither a developer nor labor shortage. There is a skill shortage. Companies don't pay you for being a "developer" or "labor", they pay for specific skills and the ability to apply them effectively and competently.

There is a persistent shortage of many skill domains in software. The barrier is that, in many cases, there are few paths to acquiring those skills aside from years of diligent self-study and experience, so it isn't simply a case of manufacturing them on demand. These are the highly paid jobs that are going unfilled even with stratospheric wages, and the demand in some of these skill areas is growing rapidly with no matching increase in supply.

In some skill domains, the market clearing wage for an experienced developer is around $1M right now. I would think that should provide sufficient incentive if increased pay could solve the problem.

Any tips on how to change the timestamp on your Git commits? That way you could get your work done on a Monday and spread the commits out throughout the week.

Elsewhere on HN there's an article about how Americans no longer think hard work will lead to success.

Interview with Terry Nguyen from Vox and GEN YEET
One of the articles they link off to about choosing a different provider explains that the author is a student. I think it's reasonable to assume they don't have much experience with this type of work. Hopefully they'll learn a lot from this process and maybe from the comments here as well. Maybe lets not write someone off before we understand more about their experience and background, especially after they shared an honest account of something they screwed up and learned from.
It exists for both reasons.

That's why there's also a std::make_unique even though it doesn't have a control block (although it was added later, but that was just an oversight).
The web won because it's cross platform, keeps state across everything and puts collaboration among users first. In a lot of ways that's easier for users - it's the closest thing to a universal OS.

This is mostly a failure of desktop operating systems to be interoperable and perhaps most seriously fail to support good network first/collaborative thinking in design. I think they did this in part because they saw being distinct as a way to differentiate themselves, but also because they were created pre-internet before a lot of modern application use cases were really possible or relevant, in the end this made them less competitive and native applications less desirable (in most cases).

I also wish it wasn't that way because the web has a lot of issues, it's slow, creates incentives towards megacorps that run centralized servers and ads, etc.

All this is one of the reasons I'm hopeful Urbit might succeed against all odds - they're rebuilding the OS with network first in mind.

Chrome isn't really comparable to windows because anyone can make a browser that reads the open web standards - while only Microsoft could make an OS that ran windows apps (outside of hacks). This reason is why web won out over native even though native apps have nice performance advantages.

That plus limited amounts of high quality devs can target the web and ship to everyone without having to build multiple native applications for multiple platforms, and again native platforms still haven't solved collab really.

> So based on this definitive evidence I'm gonna conclude everything we eat is good for you

More conclusive evidence that everything we eat is good for you [1], I recently discovered skyr, a traditional Icelandic dairy product [2] with an unusually high protein/calories ratio.

It looks and tastes very much like the homemade yogurt of my grandma, "māst kise-i." And the preparation procedure of skyr and māst kise-i are almost the same.

Anyway, skyr is good for you. It replaces the protein shake, plus it has the other nutrients of a good dairy product, goes with all kinds of foods, and costs no more than yogurt.
