I've worked in a place without eng managers, product managers, scrum masters, various MBA people, you know... all those employees that a certain segment of HN thinks are useless. It was just Sales and Software Engineering, and the CEO, to whom everyone reported. It was the worst job I've ever had.

Developers just developing, without interference from evil managers and clueless PMs! Amazing! The ideal work environment for the genius bootstrappy engineer! Sounds like heaven, right? It was not. It was total chaos.

1. Nobody knew what they should be doing and what were priorities. Someone from sales would run downstairs and say "I just sold Foo to a giant customer! You need to build Foo now!!" and everyone would go off and start building Foo. Then the CEO would fly in and ask "Why are you not building Bar? I'm personally interested in Bar, please show some results! Oh, and any product changes need to be personally approved by me now. Byeeeeee (gets on his plane again)". So developers kept developing but had no idea what to develop.

2. Joel Test[1] was 0 out of 12. Since it was just developers developing, nobody had time to write a spec, or set up source control, or design a build/release process. Those were icky tasks that stupid PMs and managers did. Developers want to develop. So the software engineering process was a clown show. Releases to customers were always late, and when they happened they were built directly from an engineer's workstation (they would just find a tree that actually built without errors, and that was the release).

3. If the software failed in the field for a customer, and this happened constantly, there were no useless support staff to talk with that customer, do basic tier 1 and 2 support, diagnose, and so on. Customers simply got angry, and since it was just developers developing, they had nobody to call and rage at, so they'd call the CEO. Then CEO mad. CEO would make a developer fly out to the customer's site with a laptop and debugger to pacify the customer. Now, that particular developer wasn't developing and was sad.

4. Things like career growth, mentorship, training, learning new best practices, none of that existed. It was just developers developing, so there really was no knowledge transfer or any distinction between junior, senior, staff, and so on. Nobody's job was to set these things up, so it never happened. There were no levels so no concept of promotion. If you wanted a raise, you'd go to the CEO who would just say no. That was basically your career development.

So yea, go find a place without managers and MBAs and let me know how it goes.

Presumably someone was still managing you (e.g. there was someone for you to go to if you wanted to book time off, ask for a pay rise, etc)?
It's therefore very frustrating that Google search on factual data is entirely dominated by proprietary data sources like statistia (https://www.statista.com/), whereas the sources are mostly open for free access somewhere lacking the necessary treaks to make them available.

Management is largely there to "crack the whip". They don't talk to clients or perform productive work.
Wtf, that's terrible UX.
Agreed, concerto 2 is (in my opinion) of the most beautiful and epic music pieces ever.

Interesting fact: Carmen's (C. Dion's) All By Myself is largely based on this concerto's 2nd movement. IIRC Rachmaninov is even listed as a coauthor because of a copyright lawsuit.
Are managers of doctors saying ridiculous things like you need to only seem patients 30 and up this week, or your not diagnosing enough strep throat.
Yes but also they claim "We Believe In A Model Of Sustainable Open Source" where their actions say what they believe what you can't built Sustainable Business around Open Source and Source Available License is required.

I've seen companies claiming "but you can use our buggy unsecure code after 3 years" but reality I'm yet to see actually anyone using this with BSL software.

This seems fine. There are some schools where it is simply not worth allocating your finite amount of recruiting resources. It by no way means that there are not super smart people at those schools, just that the percentage of students that fit your hiring criteria is too low to justify spending time at those institutions.
That was very well said, but with a few word changes could be used to support anything.
Build/Duke was also Ken Silverman's second game. Doom was probably Carmack's 50th

That said, it had some things Doom fans dreamt of, like an interactive level editor that was built into the game engine.

When you have an open-ended job, you don't get to have a feeling of accomplishment until you finish a task. Because of this, certain forms of manual labor can feel more immediately gratifying because they allow you to see a task through to completion.

While I think that the work I do as a software developer is better and more personally meaningful work than the work I did stocking shelves in a grocery store (because it validates my previous efforts), I'm not sure that at the end of the work day that I feel more fulfilled than when I was on a grocery stock crew. Being able to exhaust myself physically through work and then doing whatever my mind wants me to do definitely felt better than working while sitting in an office chair all day and trying to find exercises that give me the same sense of satisfaction.
Yeah we can.

Price/card goes down with higher plans. Enterprise approaches cost as we have printers in house.

You realize that 4 years of residency isn't the magical number of the perfect amount? Two could very well be sufficient, and the other two "extra or unnecessary training." Also, you keep ignoring the college requirement, which makes you seem very disingenuous, and if you are a doctor, makes me worry for your patients.
Last time I costed out an LiFePO4 battery for my house, it looked like it was about $1/kWh, so $20k for 40 kWh still seems like a good trade. However, battery prices may have gone down by that much since 2 years ago.
The article doesn't explicitly say it, but "the zone" certainly sounds a lot like flow state[0].

Like when you're really engrossed in a task it certainly is pleasurable, and it like really does make you forget about all the other worries and problems and anxieties of the rest of your life.

This framing does match my own personal experience with video games, I could waste hours grinding queues - it's like just putting everything else on pause.

If this piece of wisdom becomes well-known and every shop does it, then it won't be special anymore and customers will ignore those pieces of fluff.

Then again maybe shop owners will feel rude if they don't join the "common courtesy" of putting in thank you notes, and so your HTYNAAS might have a chance after all. You just need to guilt-trip them into buying it. I say this tongue-in-cheek, it'd be awful if we wasted money, time and paper because "thank you for shopping" notes became obligatory.

Have you brought any of that up in the SQLite forum? Not that you must, but the team loves that kind of feedback. They won't take all opportunities to make queries faster, if it's too complex for example, but they care a lot about speed of execution.
> Ignoring everything after the war started because we are talking about how it started, it seems to me that everything you mentioned is related to the NATO issue, isn't it?

No, I don't think so. Russia intervened in Belarus to keep Lukashenka (sp) in power, against the will of the people. I don't think the people were asking for Belarus to join NATO, though. So I think that Russia has more "red lines" than NATO. A color revolution and/or a real democracy anywhere in the former USSR is a red line, at least while Putin is in power. (Because Putin very deeply fears a color revolution in Russia.)

And I think that's the deeper point. These aren't Russia's red lines; they're Putin's. And Putin may develop other things that become "red lines", because the bottom line is "anything that Putin feels threatened by". That's not a reasonable expectation to place on other nations. Ukraine and Belarus are not Putin's playthings, nor his colonies. "Don't do anything Putin doesn't like" is not something that independent nations have to play along with.
Pypi.org is running a survey on the state of Python packaging
I imagine many of you have feedback that could be useful to folks making decisions about the future of Python packaging, a common subject of complaint in many discussions here.

Remember not to just complain, but to offer specific problems/solutions--i.e. avoid statements like "virtualenvs suck, why can't it be like NPM?" and prefer instead feedback like "the difference between Python interpreter version and what virtualenv is being used causes confusion".

I don't think its possible to just take it away and see what happens, because organizations build the concept of EMs into their entire culture.

As an example: I worked in a Big Tech org where the only way to get anything from another team was an org hierarchy jump. ICs could reach out directly; ignored. Some teams didn't even have a way to reach out to them. You had to go EM, then maybe a Director, then it filters down, and maybe a day, maybe a week later, you'd get an email introduction. It doesn't have to be like this, no one even decided it should be like this, but because they had the hierarchy that's how the culture evolved.

The better comparison is to look at companies who don't have that role, or define that role significantly differently from the traditional Big Tech definition. There are many; of course, not as many as the latter. And just like companies who do have the role traditionally defined, there are success stories and there are failure stories. To me, the more I've read up on those stories, the more I've realized how pointless the role is.

Or, maybe more accurately; how much of the role's responsibility is really to be a crutch for bad culture, bad upper management, bad hiring practices, bad interviewing, etc. That ain't totally pointless, but if you're also flipping a coin on the quality of each EM you hire, and moreover the coin is rigged because we don't even have an industry standard definition for what defines success in the EM role in the best cases; there are better ways of reaching the same destination.

But, you know, most of the time those better ways require an ounce of Trust from senior leadership, and that's like pulling water from desert sand.
Unfired clay brick production is incredibly labor intensive, and generally you'll want to produce those bricks on-site because they don't transport well.
> SQL was originally designed for non-technical users to interact with the database, however, it's used almost exclusively by software developers peppering it throughout their applications.

Interesting claim! In my experience, the # of data analysts / BI analysts / etc that write and have mastered SQL vastly exceeds the # of web developers (especially if we focus on developers actually writing SQL instead of using ORMs)
I remember Nikola Tesla was working on generating "electricity out of thin air" and someone on youtube even has a working model of it. It hovered around 48 volts, so you'd need some kind of voltage regulator in front of it.
Thats assuming the average is net neutral to your career/work.

The average engineering manager may be a net benefit, or a net detriment. The rest we can extrapolate from there.
https://www.shelterinstitute.com/ (timber framing especially) is one that I am aware of from a few sources over time--perhaps most notably from YouTube channel Pure Living For Life, who failed to finish building their house.
> Managers exist on the same spectrum as any other role.

I think it doesn't help that you'll find about 1 manager for 8-10 engineers. The same spectrum, but lower raw numbers, might give an exaggerated impression of mediocrity.
See the other comments wrt dang. There may be a few well-curated/moderated subreddits but the noise to signal ratio generally seems to be considerably higher on Reddit generally, though there are undoubtedly diamonds there as well.
It does, but in amounts i would consider neglegible for climate concerns. As a form of corrosion its relevant for materials engineering.

Well, what does "on thermal" mean? I interpret it as going into geothermal sources of heat, where the groundwater is already heated. (IE, the groundwater is something like 100+ degrees F, or 45+ degrees C.)

As opposed to heat pumps, which you described.

I would say that closing the bugs as WONTFIX is just changing the specs of the application so it's not a bug anymore.

E.g. if you've got a bug that emojis cause an endpoint to throw a 500, closing the bug as WONTFIX is akin to just saying that emojis are invalid input to the application.

After 6 months or a year, that's how everyone is treating it anyways.
>Do you eat a lot of junk food generally in your diet?

No. Though I will admit that I've had access to Chick-fil-a since the 80s, so it's kind of blase to me now. Newness has a quality of its own, I guess.
Six Months of Full Time Open Source: A Retrospective
Personal notes from an open source maintainer of their first six months of full time maintenance.
This is because you are upper middle class. Among the working class and teenage population, it is a status symbol.

We have our own in the upper middle class and we are similarly exploited. Luxury cars + a honorable cause is one that comes to mind.

Marketing can target insecurities but it doesn't need to be insecurity based. I just find that most egregious. Advertising "new, better, faster,tech" seems like the opposite end of this.

I really hope Musk is forced to buy Twitter. I don’t actually disagree with his claim that there are way more bots than Twitter claims, but the guy willingly waived his right to due diligence and should be forced to follow through.

It’s not like he’s a naive first time investor. He’s one of the worlds richest people with a team of lawyers and advisors. He didn’t waive his right to due diligence by accident.
> If most managers are useless

Big IF. Even worse-than-average managers are not useless. To have a truly useless manager is an extreme rarity.

> means most in the role aren't actually helping or doing anything

You're painting a broad spectrum of people on a binary scale. A bad manager is maybe 30% as useful as a great manager. But 30% useful is still better than not existing.

> If you can have someone who is a negative in that role, then you can get rid of it.

By this logic every job is useless. Any role can have someone bad at it.
> there is not a lot of news or pressing issues in fiction

Are you sure about this? One of the biggest publishing houses is being sued by the DOJ to stop a merger. Publishing houses have recently started splitting advances into thirds and quarters over 2-3 years. There's an unprecedented quitting of agents, leaving many authors afloat with no rep. Barnes & Noble recently and suddenly changed how they market hardcover childrens literature which will likely sink debut authors.

This was all subjects within the last 2/3 weeks btw.
They're also talking about a population of workers - this includes elderly people with bad hips, bunions, handicapped people who aren't always given proper accommodations, etc.

Framing out a house with construction lumber is “open source” too. Vastly simpler and cheaper than lock-together blocks made out of relatively complex materials like sheet goods. In a pinch, you can fell trees and process them with hand tools using methods refined over many, many generations.

In other words, stick construction has been public domain for so long that it would be impossible to even acknowledge its creator and significant contributors.

Because you only need the software for >4gb files and block level access requires root or admin usually. This is can be fully userspace if your OS already supports Fat32 (it does).
You can follow the chains to a degree, but that assumes you have access. At work, you can follow things until it gets to a spool file, but you won’t have access to the system/code that reads the file.

It's less about the dome and more about the manufacturing method. Basically moulded Styrofoam in whatever shapes.
Moderation is such an interesting art. There is moderation like trimming a bonsai tree... the effort is to keep everything healthy and beautiful, but not to avert the nature of the plant, to embrace its natural growth... then there is moderation like on reddit, which is politically and advertising motivated to force the community into a given shape, like trimming hedgerows. Either step in line or get pruned.

If anything HN feels like it has a lighter touch with moderation than most other places online, and I have never seen them outright censor certain political views or show any sort of favoritism towards any one company or group. I think much of that comes from having a small, passionate community that can manage the task of behaving and debating in good faith.

If someone could figure out the method for crafting communities like HN for other interests... that person would be a treasure to the internet.
it's probably more like if your school isn't an ivy, stanford, mit, whatever you're resume goes right in the trash. also that logic is super self perpetuating and I imagine could be used to justify other worse forms of discrimination (not saying at Jane Street but in general)
Devs: "Overworked? Too many disparate responsibilities? Not being able to write enough code? No team cohesion? This is a systemic failure of leadership, start interviewing for other positions."

Also Devs: "Managers are so useless lmao"

Seems like a bit of cognitive dissonance here where the same people that seemingly constantly push the idea of remote work and how it supposedly doesn't affect their productivity and they work just as well/hard as in the office, yet at the same time those same people are also saying that this "quiet quitting" is a normal state of affairs, especially since the advent of remote work, that they're not going to stop doing?
