Don't encourage them. There is no Web3 and if there ever is, it's not fucking blockchain apps.

What these hucksters call Web3 is the digital equivalent of essential oils. Blockchain apps have no real productive use beyond selling them to each other. Calling the whole thing Web3 was a fairly transparent grasp at trying to legitimize the whole charade.
Your point is admirable but its also short sighted. You're right that building a one size fits all tool is a large task and it's easy to complain about something hard.

But the flaw is in assuming it's a problem that should be solved in a one size fits all way. In my experience the pain points come from top down process that's at odds with the reality of the work.

If a company is trying to use JIRA for more than state communication they are doing it wrong IMO. Planning goes into calendars, ephemeral stuff goes into chats and calls, and code and code-level issues goes into repositories. I have seen plenty of attempts to make a product like JIRA the 'interface' between some management person and 'the subordinates' and it never works, simply because trying to place an 'interface' there in itself doesn't work.
Assigning responsibility is always a moral judgement and different people will come up with different answers based on their own morality.

If someone walks into the bank and the doors are wide open, no one is there, and the vault is just open, so they decide to grab some visible valuables, how much responsibility is actually on the thief?

I mean obviously there is some responsibility, but how much is more of a moral judgement than anything else.
It doesn't have to be this complicated. We don't need a land value tax.

The most straight forward way to make people avoid speculating is to heavily tax all non-primary residence homes. Cap the amount people can charge in rent to some %s of purchase value (incentive to have high purchase value) to and set a baseline on the taxes required and make the math for building property empire bleak (absolute destruction of the housing-as-a-financial-asset model).

If you want people to buy homes to live in them, and not as a store of value or speculative instruments, we can disincentivize that behavior directly.

It encourages productivity instead of rent-seeking and restores housing stock to people who are trying to live in a place, rather than extract value and it puts more taxes in government coffers from the likes of companies like BlackRock and REITs.

It's simple. Tax people who buy homes they don't plan to live in heavily.
This is a tip for everyone struggling to find someone to hire; look in a different pool of candidates and be willing to accommodate them. For example, you can find a lot of very skilled developers that are disabled.

I know a lot of people that have been coding professionally for 10+ years, have popularish open source projects, been lead devs at startups etc; yet feel stuck in their current jobs or even struggle to get hired. They would instantly job jump to something better or would love to switch from contract work to something with good health insurance/benefits. You just have to be a company willing to accommodate them. And accommodating their needs requires far less investment than paying FAANG level salaries to attract the same Sr engineers everyone else is competing for.

You can find engineers.
People who hate Jira need to spend a year working in VersionOne
Same here, I really don't get the cargo cult hate against Jira.

Before I got to use Jira for the first time around 2006, everything I used before was crap, either in-house solutions out of CGI scripts or crap like ClearQuest.

Stuff like Trello just seems too basic for typical enterprise workflows that overlap sprint planning, with project roadmap, milestones and change requests, mapping of tickets to source code, pull requests, documentation,...

If I have decision power, I will always pick the Atlassian product suit versus the competition.
> JIRA in its default configuration essentially lets you create anything, anywhere in any state. Anything beyond that is just bad product configuration.

That's kind of the point, JIRA has been made into monstrosity at many organizations because the "create anything" mindset.

You'll definitely want to bump thickness up to 2.0 mm for more rigidity. Otherwise just measure the diameter of your filter and maybe round up slightly.

I put a layer of electric tape around the flange where the filter adapter inserts into the filter and it makes a very nice airtight fit. Finally, just print it with the big end facing down and you shouldn't need any supports.

screwhole=5; // fan screw hole diameter (5)

filterhole=59; // HEPA filter hole diameter

thickness=2; // Thickness of plastic layer (1.5)

insert=10; // Length of insert into filter (10)

My original post was not in response to OP but to someone who is shocked that 70 million people have a criminal record, because most people when asked assume that a criminal record means some kind of conviction, it does not.

It was OP who decided to dispute me and argue that unpaid parking tickets are unlikely to result in an arrest or a criminal matter. I replied pointing out with sources that his claim is wrong. A surprising number of people are in jail over unpaid parking tickets and in Texas in one year alone over 1 million unpaid tickets became a criminal matter resulting in jail time.

I agree that OP seems to argue against this is bizzare since even a record for unpaid traffic offenses can needlessly disqualify someone from a job, but I am not OP and all I really care to do is point out the facts.
Where I work got rid of Jira and switched to some other, ostensibly better(?) competing product. I never had strong opinions about Jira before the switch, but now, after nearly 2 years of a Jira free existence... I miss Jira dearly. The grass is always greener.

Does Jira suck? sure maybe, but my personal experience suggests that everything else sucks equally as bad if not worse, and I know where all the buttons are in Jira.
yeah, but no one is tracking home growers. the issue is spore germination in lungs or allergic hypersensitivity which will be due to exposure.

Meta's VR tech is undeniably amazing. I picked up a quest 2 off craigslist and was blown away - wirelessly streaming VR games to the headset over wifi is the first time I felt the technology had actually arrived. The resolution is also good enough to use it for actual work with text on virtual screens. It's conceivable that the standard workstation + monitors setup will be a thing of the past by the end of the decade.

It is sad that we are unavoidably headed to a world where a company like Meta monopolizes control of two of our five traditional senses (sight and sound). Their business model is based on behavior modification and I fully expect their highly-compensated employees to be endlessly creative in the application of headsets to that end. The sheer scale of R&D expenditure required to get realistic/usable VR is daunting and seems beyond FOSS capabilities. Not just hardware, but software like SLAM/VIO or image processing. I backed the Simula One headset but the disparity in development resources between them and meta is pretty astounding.

Do you think Go is really starting to displace C#, and Java though? I rule out C++ because I really think rust is the one aiming for that spot. But Go for C# and Java? Hard to say until we see Go start to take over more of the business domain applications within enterprise IMO.
Has anyone ever expected (or received) payment for time off to attend interviews though?

Seems to me like a bad reaction to the relatively new thing, but actually the criticism applies just as well to the older thing.

(Maybe it should all be paid! Though having job search funded by prospective employers does seem a bit weird.. I think really I just think it's neither here nor there in terms of morality or whatever - but the 'take-home' isn't fundamentally different from the interview. If anything it might be better in this regard already, since I don't have to take time off for it (but also can, if I prefer that to spending my evening/weekend on it)?)
> Take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing

This is why I wouldn't continue interviewing with you, but perhaps not for the reasons you think.

Despite my 15 years of experience as a software developer, your test will likely have some edge-case question that I won't get right. I'm terrible at timed tests, but I'm not a terrible software developer. Why should I spend 4 hours of my weekend failing to prove myself to you? I'd so much rather spend an hour or two having a detailed, technical conversation with you—and I think you would too. You can glean a lot from a conversation (it's easy to copy/paste code from Stack Overflow, but it's not easy to fake it through a lengthy, technical discussion)!

No Linus uses Bugzilla [1]. Have you ever used it? You'll be begging for Jira once you've used Bugzilla.

Also Linux doesn't use pull requests. GIT doesn't even know the concept of a PR. You are supposed to generate a patch with 'git format-patch' and submit it to a mailinglist.

But using the word scarcity seems to try and piggyback on what we all know scarce goods are. Goods become scarce because of excess demand or difficulty with production. A real finite thing.

Dunno, I think VR content will always just be shallow novelty experiences until it gets smoother to use, and being able to for example read text goes along way toward fixing that. Better hand controls would also help, I don't think VR without haptic feedback is really viable.

Solve that set of problems, and you might get to a point where you could build actually useful things in VR. Like a work environment for CAD or 3D modelling or whatever that has actual benefits over traditional interfaces.

Ethereum creator Vitalik and his father Dima on this ‘morally clarifying moment’
I can’t speak to the organizational problems you saw, but when you consider the quality of software that Mapbox was producing before the failed union drive – Mapbox GL JS, Rasterio, Shapely – what you’re saying is nonsensical. The latter two libraries have of course left Mapbox, along with their creator, and continue to see high-quality new features, but Mapbox GL JS is still so much better than anything else that I continue to use and pay for it, even though my friends and acquaintances were the people who quit after Mapbox management torpedoed the union drive (note: I’m relying on the current NLRB complaint against Mapbox here: https://www.nlrb.gov/case/20-CA-283393) and I hope that one day I’ll have an alternative.
Your job description is a close match to what I'm currently doing, "senior" developer who gradually transitioned into platform engineering due to the need and greater than average for a developer familiarity and comfort with the platform and infrastructure layers of the stack. I currently work for one of the CNCF software vendors doing consulting engineering for customers setting up their own platforms for multi-tenant, heterogeneous workloads.

I'll say I don't really mind the take-home assessment, contra most of what you're seeing here, but 4 hours is pushing it. 1 hour max is more in line with what I'm willing to do for a pre-interview screen.

The bigger obstacle for me is why would I be looking for jobs to apply to in the first place? I haven't applied for a job since getting out of the Army and moving into the software world at all. Not once. Every job I have taken in this industry has either been from a recruiter or professional network reaching out to me. I've never looked for a job and never plan to, so I'd never see your ad and I don't read the Hacker News who's hiring pages. Recruiters who don't give a salary range aren't going to hear back from me unless it's a FAANG-level company with a well-known salary range I already know, though. I'm often annoyed by the amount of "not writing code" I have to do, but I'm used to it at this point.

I'll just grant your claim as a person who works there that the job is sufficiently enjoyable and pays well that I'd consider it all things being equal, but the biggest obstacle is just that I don't look for jobs. People offering jobs look for me. How good your ad is means nothing if I never see it and don't want to see it.
I've used Jira in my last 3 jobs. I tried to like it, I tried to tolerate it, now I just try to spend as little time using it as possible.

I'm an engineer, I'm a problem solver. I want to add a task, move task to "doing" and then "done" and that's it. But Jira is not created for me. Jira is created for SAFe expert who wants to create workflow so complex nobody understands it. Jira is created for Scrum master who wants to create 25 reports to show their boss how beautifully our burndown looks sprint after sprint. Yes, Jira doesn't force anyone to do this stuff, but it enables it, because Jira is created for process managers, for people who just report things.

But that's not me. Jira is not for me and the best I can do it to use it as little as possible.

I was looking for a job, had 3 offers all of them without an assignment.

I had one job opportuniy i liked, with a 4h assignment and i didn't get the job.

I fully accept doing and learning for Google or Microsoft or Apple etc. but they pay in germany like 30-50k a year more than the normal companies.

Normal company is 80k, the others are 120k up to 160k.

And others mentioned it but i want to repeat it: The offer i actually took (and it was the best choice as well) was actually because an ex collegue pointed me to it. There was already a foot in the door.
It isn't that surprising that a programming language has inertia, it has lots of 'mass' so to speak -- programmers have to specialize in the language, and an ecosystem of libraries has to be built. It is more surprising to me that an issue tracker like Jira does. Surely people aren't specialized in... Jira-ing or whatever.
It does, but I cannot make it visible to everyone! I can see the README file when I am logged in, but when I am logged out it shows nothing.
This is because people (even in communities like HN here) are asking for this kind of censorship (guised as "combatting misinformation").

In my opinion, social networks should only censor what is illegal, where ordered by a judge, and leave everything else alone. Otherwise we have private entities like Facebook making these kinds of decisions for us - why would anyone want that?

Frankly, people are already giving up moneymaking opportunities by not turning their literal own backyard into a multistorey apartment development or glue factory where permitted. LVT doesn't radically alter that, just adds a stick incentive as well as a carrot incentive

Usually the obstacle is they're not permitted to, not least because the neighbours don't want it. LVT doesn't solve the neighbours not wanting it - at best they get a small tax reduction but they still live next door to a glue factory and will lose money selling their house. For some things it makes it worse: now people protest against mass transit they don't think they'll hear or will bring the "wrong sort of people" into the neighbourhood because land near a transit hub will be in a higher tax bracket. And if LVT is assessed on development potential of the land, homeowners that dont want to sell to developers should absolutely love some more restrictive covenants on the neighbourhood that mean the nice plot they live on is no longer classed as suitable to build anything bigger than the house they already live in.
You cannot really configure Jira so that the interface is free of lags and loads faster, though. Or that it does not make tons of network requests in the background. It's a tool, but there are bad also tools.

Calories in - calories out fails to explain why people consume and expend as many calories as they do. As the series discusses, many calorie sinks such as fidgeting and body temperature are subconscious or autonomic and seem to be used by our bodies to help regulate our weight. And some people clearly have very strong hunger drives.

Clearly something has changed over the past hundred years. Saying that we got richer fails to explain why the rich people of yore, while fat by the standards of their day, are not fat by modern standards. Saying we have gone down hill in terms of sticktoitiveness is not really a verifiable claim and does nothing to offer a solution. So it is absolutely worth further investigating what is going on.

Bit similar happened to me. I had account for about 3 years, posted like once a month, followed friends and some celebs - nothing out of ordinary. Then some day I was greeted via form that I needed to give my birthday as I apparently had not done that yet. I just threw in random date as I thought it is none of their business. Well turns out now that due to me "being under 13" my account is marked for deletion and I have 30 days to appeal with similar requirement. I tried to write them but got automated response.

Ended up losing my IG account and learned valuable lesson that if I am not in control of my data I am not calling the shots either.
As someone who deals with both Ada and C on a regular basis, I think there was a bit of thought put into where they deviated from C-like syntax. https://learn.adacore.com/pdf_books/courses/Ada_For_The_Embe... does a good job of highlighting some of the differences between Ada and C syntax and the reasons for them.
I think what other tools miss that JIRA did well is giving engineering managers tools to communicate with upper management. You're right that actually attempting to use JIRA as the medium of communication with people outside the product org is hopelessly, fatally flawed, but being able to visualize an issue like an unmanageable backlog, or team productivity, or quality issues is invaluable, and a lot of simple tools throw the baby out with the bathwater by completely failing to give any tools to analyze how your team is doing.

If it's configured properly, JIRA can be a fairly effective tool that mostly stays out of the way of developers but can help team leads and managers communicate things about the team.
I am not familiar with the other aggregator then. The only other one I know is Lemmy, and while it does have the ability to create multiple communities on a single server (= subreddits), those communities appear the same to everyone.

Jira is a product which serves two masters - one are development teams which use it to track bugs, tickets, projects, etc. The other one are middle management types who use it for project tracking, reporting to upper management, tracking metrics of different teams (no matter how dubious) etc.

The people who decide which software gets adopted internally generally care about the latter, and thus Jira is selected, and thus Jira grows to their needs - where complexity is often a bonus, and poor day to day performance a minimal concern.
