>I think it's relatively uncontroversial that advertising is a "strategy" for either low quality, not needed, or undifferentiated offerings, and that when looking at how a company goes to market, there is a choice of putting $ into advertising or into a better product.

I'm not sure your statement applies broadly to automobile advertising either.
Really like how simplistic the example resume is. Tells you what you need to know without bombarding you with too much information.
I'm having a hard time judging which behavior is less mature:

* the student who tried to convert their own personal discomfort into the wildly exaggerated general conclusion that your example was "pointless and useless"

* the fact that you apparently cannot entertain the truism that examples which students can relate to are generally superior than ones that are difficult for them to relate to

* your bizarre implied learning process where criticism and judgement are reserved only for those who already understand a concept. It's like the scientific process, except upside down. :)

Two of these are under your control to change.

> When I'm gone it won't be long before I'm completely forgotten.

_Everyone_ will be completely forgotten. I think the obsession with "legacy" is a fools errand. Making a positive impact yo those around you, big or small, _for the sake of it_ is a more reasonable approach, IMO.

Even the most successful person will be forgotten[1] within a few generations.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat this advice: if it isn't in writing in your contract then it doesn't count. It doesn't matter what a recruiter or hiring manager promises. Get it in writing. Always and forever!

Definitely check out Chattanooga, TN and Knoxville, TN

Chattanooga has a great tech and outdoor sports (rock climbing and whitewater) and the fastest municipal internet in the country.

Knoxville - with Oak Ridge National Lab nearby has some amazing supercomputers

They are also in the process of rolling out municipal internet, with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby.

There are plenty of commercial passenger prop planes flying today. For example, Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) on Toronto Island only permits prop planes because of the close proximity of the airport to the city, and nearly 3 million passengers pass through YTZ each year, mostly with Porter, a regional airline.

This neatly sums up the issues I have with Windows, but it also misses the most important point. That is, the increasing contempt for user choice. On the few occasions I start Windows, it almost always demands that I enable their privacy invading options using a full screen prompt that I can't swiftly dismiss. It also bombards me with ads. It installs software I didn't ask for. It won't even respect my choice of browsers.

No other OS that I'm aware of shows this much hostility and contempt towards its users. It's the single most issue that turns me off from Windows in recent years.

My major failure in this thread was not specifying from that start that I'm not so much talking about paid search ads (google ads), as much as I mean FB, YouTube, etc. That's the arena where you've really gotta question if you're competing with yourself.

On the flip side of that, most of HN seems to think purely in terms of paid search ads, when there are many other types of online advertising that exist, and that don't have this issue baked into them.

Such is the nature of internet dialogue, I guess lol.
I probably need to do a blog post on this exact subject.

As a dev of 20+ years, I got into SAFe because it's IMHO the ideal work environment for developers. It's supposed to put developers in control of the schedule, prevent you from being handed arbitrary deadlines, avoid constant changes in priority by letting teams plan out for a quarter at a time, avoid over planning the time you have (2/3 of time planned per 2 week iteration and 2 full weeks at the end left entirely open) and make sure everybody is clear up front about what the risks are to being able to deliver on the plan.

There's supposed to be 2 backlogs, one for the product side to prioritize and one for the dev side to prioritize without any influence from product so that you can ensure all of the technical stuff that needs to be done can be done without having to spend a ton of time explaining why to the non-technical side of the house.

End of the day you should end up with less meetings and a more realistic schedule that you, the developer, have essentially created.

If leadership won't give up the control to let the process work, everything goes to crap. Every place I've heard of bad SAFe experiences, that's been the cause fwiw. Usually the most frustrated people in a SAFe are the micromanagers (and it's supposed to be that way).

Would you be willing to share why it's going so wrong? My keybase contact info is in my profile.
Dude, you're an employee. If management doesn't respect you, look elsewhere. You're working in IT, it's not like you can't change work. You'll risk getting less money, but if you're happier who cares?
This.

It's something that applies to the general case, not just employment, and not just with big companies: if it's not in the contract, it doesn't exist. Any condition that's important to you MUST be in the contract.
Kept waiting for the bit where the girl turns into a huge red panda. Was mildly disappointed it never came.
Recruiters and hiring teams are hardly ever on the same page. Always get your information straight from the company, not a third party that is enticed to land interviews for higher chance of converting to landing a candidate.

I do think the bait and switch of offering employees who entered the workforce full time employment and then asking them to come into the office two years later is disgusting. There's something bigger going on with how fast this has been swept under the rug.

If you're reading this and want to be fully remote, don't settle for anything less. People have been doing remote work for decades at this point and contributing more than most people do in an office. If you prefer to work at an office then do whatever suits you.

> Kinda unsettling that we even required masks on the public with no evidence they worked going in, eh?

No, not in the slightest. The evidence wasn't perfect, but you have to operate using the best working evidence you have. It's logical that face coverings reduce spread of a virus spread primarily through respiratory droplets. The experimental evidence also supports it.

The downside, of people being mildly inconvenienced by wearing a cloth over their face, is tiny compared the risks of your health systems getting overwhelmed. The disturbing thing is that we did not initially err on the side of caution.

"Same basic shape". What, you mean up then down, as new variants emerged, and seasonal effects were encountered? How are you assessing that they are the same shape? Have you done an analysis against all countries with reliable data or are you eyeballing the graphs from a few cherry-picked regions by a blogger?
Yeah the Prolog part would probably have to just do a yes/no analysis of whether the proposed solution is even a candidate, but then maybe something else would score the quality of the remaining candidates.

I’m not a right-wing Fauci hater, but I think he’s just not that good at his job.

He found himself in a tough situation, having to tell inconvenient truths to a President that had every reason to downplay the virus because he had up to that point a very strong economy and was up for re-election in less than a year. Guess what—that’s a key part of the job for a high level government official. Politics always influences the theoretically neutral scientific agencies, and diplomatically handling such situations is essential. Trump wasn’t some singularity in this regard: he was more bombastic in his rhetoric, but the rush to normalize things in advance of an election wasn’t unique to him: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/04/ba2-omicr...

In this context, a competent public official would (1) jealously guard his credibility; and (2) assure the public that he understands that controlling the pandemic isn’t the only thing people care about. Fauci has consistently failed to do either. He made assertions about masking, natural immunity, and schools that we’re ill-advised and turned out to be wrong. And he has shown no ability to convey to the public that he understands the balancing of competing social interests. With him, it’s always about the most cautious approach.

Fauci is a good illustration of why it’s dangerous to put wonks in public-facing leadership positions. There’s an argument that someone in Fauci’s position should just focus on the most cautious possible approach and leave the balancing of competing policy interests to elected officials. But in a pandemic, the public will look to health officials for leadership and guidance. They’re not just in the back room crunching numbers for the political decision makers.
With Git I’m pretty sure you can literally just add a new remote to a completely unrelated repo, fetch it and then “merge” any branch from the other two into the new mono repo (ie. git checkout master; git merge other-remote/master). If all your projects are otherwise in a top level directory inside the monorepo this should merge cleanly and then can just live beside eachother in the checkout.
> the agreement they signed didn't say remote

While the recruiter lying is the cause of the problem, there are several points during the process when they could have confirmed the relevant job details. Just before signing the agreement is the last such opportunity.

> but that's not the company's problem

If it causes enough problems, such as people not signing when offered because they have read the agreement or people leaving without notice during probationary periods (in most legal jurisdictions these periods work both ways) because of the divide in expectations, it will become the company's problem, and they'll stop using those recruiters.

Unfortunately some are desperate enough for work that they'll just go with it until finding something else, so there may not be enough signal to insight change that way. Especially given that there are apparently very few recruiters who don't act in similar ways.

> but it seems to encourage bringing in as many candidates as possible over treating them with honesty and respect

That is exactly how it works.

If it is any consolation they often lie to the employers too, though that isn't quite as easy to get away with due to the differing power dynamic.

+1, similar situation here and I agree completely. I've been working for the same remote-only company for almost 10 years now. In my opinion, it's very important/essential that the company culture has "remote" in its DNA.

It would be too huge.
> This is exactly how it works, recruiters don't get paid unless they get a candidate hired.

Not exactly. I mean yes - exactly. But they also typically have riders on the contract. Firstly, our recruiters do not get the same cut if the new hire doesn't pan out. Also recruiters I have worked with in the past tend to get a percent of the salary number. That helps as the recruiter is really trying to get you the highest number.

So yes, and no.

Yes! I once had to merge a dozen or so repos into a mono repo. I don't have my script handy but git allows merging repos with unrelated histories into one repo while preserving the history.

If I remember correctly, this is how you do it:

1. Create a new empty repo for the monorepo
2. For each repo, 'git mv' all of the contents into a new directory with the repo's name
3. Add the repos to the mono repos as remotes
4. Run 'git merge --allow-unrelated-histories' for each repo

You will now have a monorepo with preserved history with each old repo existing inside of a sub-directory in the new monorepo
Years ago, Google had a gcheckout tool that would trace the dependency information for whatever project you were working on, and then selectively grab the portions of the monorepo that you were going to need for it. Maybe they still have that or it's evolved into something else; I dunno, I haven't been there in a really long time.

Anyway, it seemed like such an obvious complement to the the perforce/monorepo style of working that I came away surprised that perforce wouldn't have hoisted such a thing into their product as a first-class feature. Tracing dependencies across a lot of different build systems is obviously not trivial, but it's not intractable, particularly if the tool is pluggable so that orgs can provide modules to handle their own particular approach.
In the 1970s, the US had plans to build 1,000 nuclear power plants. If they were the average size, I believe would come to double our current electrical generation capacity. Where would we be with cheap, plentiful, carbon-neutral electricity?

"Electricity and heat" has been the dominant source of emissions in the US since at least 1990[0]. Even if most of that is the "heat" part, we can heat much more efficiency with electricity than with gas nearly the entire year in all our climates, and in the rare cases where that's not true, resistance heating can cover the offset. The only reason we use gas is because it was cheaper.

Second on the list is transportation, much of which is finally hitting viability for electrification right now. Again, if we'd had cheap, plentiful electricity, that would have spurred on development and implementation much earlier. Maybe not the 1980, but a decade or two sooner definitely seems believable.

There are likely some industrial processes that we can't easily switch over, but I think given a cost incentive, we'd find a way for most things.

I am kind of assuming the switchover would mean "cheap" electricity. Maybe we'd have plentiful expensive electricity, but I'd expect market forces to push the price down.

My advice for those people is: don't go to the office. Simply work remotely as it was agreed and let the managers make a move.

Considering how insanely difficult it is to hire right now, I predict most of times they will do nothing. However this might sour your relationship with your manager so you might want to consider looking internally for someone who supports remote work, or look for another company that's more honest and transparent.

That's a good point. It's a lot harder to cannibalize organic traffic with non-search ads.
A whitelist (or whatever the correct term for that is now) would be more effective.

Frankly, I'd say the vast majority of recruiters are bad. They are worse than a used car salesperson, and I will never deal with any of them again besides the occasional one that's actually working directly for the employer, as opposed to third-party recruiters from large recruiting firms.

A few years ago, I was working on some software that would find quality job listings and auto-apply for them (in theory; I don't believe I finished the form-filling part). Part of that filtering involved removing any listings from third-party recruiting firms. Blocking on the person-level really wasn't practical. While it worked somewhat, it seems that more of these firms appear and change names every year. It would always be imperfect unless someone was constantly monitoring the countless number of recruiting firms.

My best experiences were with small-time recruiters who worked for themselves. I'd much rather identify who these recruiters are and then ignore all the other ones by default.
