Assuming that whoever wrote it in the first place is (1) Still employed, (2) Capable of fixing the bug and (3) Would never be told about the bug fixes you may be right.

That said, I think it does make sense if the goal is to (somewhat superficially) sort the employees into "probably keep", "review", "probably terminate" piles. And maybe with a good enough accuracy that that information can be directly acted on.
Hey, excuse me for using you as an example but there’s a lot of this rough idea in this comment section and I’m rather confused by it. I don’t mean to single you out.

What would be wrong with that? In a search for low hanging fruit, the planes that can’t make it to the tarmac would be a group of their own. Of the ones that do, next to others some stand out as being noticeably different. Etc. Then patterns may emerge based on that, iterate iterate. Seems to depend on where you’ve set the bar.

If you were an office space Bob, depending on the bar placement, you may just be interviewing to see if someone loses their cool when asked “what is it you do here?”.

If you were a cop you might bring in every suspect just to see if someone stands out.

So what am I missing? Is it the scale of the operation?
“Hey, take some vacation days to do some lucrative consultation work” is probably how it went.
The other day I was thinking that precisely this is needed!

Question:

Why are you offering lifetime access for $39? Makes no sense. Anyone company that needs this can afford $100/month. Any individual who needs it can afford $30 for 3 months access.

Ideas:

It would be good if I could upload my ffmpeg binary and the IDE queries it to work out what libraries and options are compiled in.

Or maybe you could provide a command that I could enter that dumps this information, which I then put into your IDE.

It would be great if I could put my existing ffmpeg command lines into this and have them represented as a graph.
The problem is the implementation. Restaurants started embedding the PDF of the menu exactly as it is and often with complicated zoom/ pan.

They could replace it with a neat AR experience using the same mobile devices. It will be expensive but will give the user a nice user experience.
I genuinely think that there is no legitimate use case for disabled copy paste. It's just nonsense security theatre (which banks absolutely love)
I don't know if this is the same experience for you, but for a while I would just open the camera app without realizing I had to swipe over to Google Lens mode to have it detect QR codes.
In Australia I have very rarely seen QR menus used where it wasn't also the method to order and pay.
I am intentionally making it vague to protect the privacy.

But the business we are in require millions of dollars to launch (after the code is ready). Without that much of money, the product provides 0 value.

Much more fruitful discussions had a couple of months ago when this decision was first announced 1. People making the decision to move are basing that on slightly more than just not wanting to pay the cost of a beer each month. Furthermore, free tiers are loss leaders, and removing them predictably has consequences.

I hate a lot of the touch screen controls in the Tesla - like AC controls. But the glovebox is actually pretty nice. Being software controlled means I can require a PIN to open it. Also, there's no handle so it doesn't even look like a glovebox is there. If someone breaks in they probably aren't getting to any valuables in the glovebox.

Reminds me of an aggravating feature (or really lack thereof) in my new Prius. It has wireless charging, but requires a cable connection for CarPlay.

I hope I never meet a Toyota engineer in person, because it would be hard not to do something criminal to them.
Sure. But also if all you do is fix bugs, unless they are really hard and complex ones in occasionally new domains it's probably not the best career path.

As an example fixing trivial styling, dead links, documentation, flaky tests. Work that is important and has to be done, but not
something to drown yourself in. Sometimes it's also better to try to solve the root causes, like use css variables, introduce swagger or a more reliable test framework. You want the engineer who codes themselves out of the job of trivial tickets.
> You ignored Amazon fire phone.

Yes, because I have no idea why it is so apparently special. I do know that they sell kindles so cheaply because they hope people would be buying books from them.

> Another example would be gaming consoles.

Except those are never marketed as general-purpose pocket computer devices like iPhones are. They are appliances. Getting your hands onto an SDK for a gaming console requires being a company, signing an NDA, and probably committing to lots of other conditions.

EU is extension of your government and the directly elected MPs. This means, to influence EU you vote at the elections - both the elections where you choose your country's' govt and the EU parliament elections. Its strange to claim that EU is undemocratic unless it's exactly the same as INSERT COUNTRY.

EU is not a 3rd party institution, despite that politicians might talk as if it is. They might say something like "Ah we would love to do that but we can't because of the rules in Brussels" to deflect blame but Brussels is simply the location where people who you voted for and people appointed by the people you voted for gather to agree on these rules.

That's why EU often can't agree on something if even one of the countries(which is a placeholder for the people who they voted for or people who are appointed by the people they voted for) don't want. The most recent and well known examples are the policies against the war in Ukraine where Hungary didn't play ball.

That's also why UK won't be able to be a better place after Brexit: The EU rules are also British rules, made by British politicians with UK's best interest in mind. The most you can get is sewage on the beaches and border checks when exporting to EU. The border check part is about making sure that if you happen to remove regulations and start producing things like children toys with led paint, these toys won't end in Barcelona or Warsaw.

They are decent as app shortcuts it seems. In the last two weeks I’ve done it twice as a replacement for typing in the name in the App Store of some targeted one-off app that is for a particular piece of hardware. In the first case it was some LED lights for my nephew. In the second case it was some light up hardware for a KPop concert I went to with my wife.
Yep. And these people STILL trust those who propagated that lie and murdered 1 million Iraqis. Its as if something changed in the time in between and pooof the establishments that perpetuated that murder suddenly gained conscience and honesty. The EXACT same people who lied about the WMDs are totally not lying about Ukraine and stuff right now. They are telling the truth this time.

Why would anyone think Twitter has 10 million lines of code? Does it have some type of hidden features etc that I am not aware of?
I've got a prybar and a battery powered angle grinder that suggest your buttonless glovebox isn't as secure as you think.
I have 3, and they were all extremely different from even before birth. My first would kick your hand off if you held it on her mom's belly, continue kicking until you removed it. She's continued to be as stubborn as a mule and protective of her space. She didn't cry too much, was never needy, and still remains very independent. My second was a colicky baby that always wanted to be held. He's 12 now and still won't sleep in a room alone, loves attention. My third is only 2, and has been by far the easiest going. She has always been easy to soothe, and lights up rooms. Maybe your babies are just very similar, or maybe you're just inobservant.
That's plenty, especially for stuff like VPN clients.

Many of the protocols you'll be talking were created when computers had maybe 32MB of RAM or less, and you wanted to do more on them than merely connect to a VPN.

Lots of network hardware still in use nowadays doesn't have much more RAM than that either.

Even now, after twenty years of continued development, an openvpn client with all of its shiny new features enabled only uses about 6MB-7MB on my computer.
A sad day for Rust: actix-web is dead (2020)
I've thought the same thing, while Twitter is hard to scale, it's pretty freaking simple product to build, if I had a bit of spare time, I'd be building a clone right now so as everyone leaves Musk's platform they have a place to go.
If we are talking of RESTful servers and mention Redis, then we should mention Webdis, which is a RESTful server for Redis -- and it has ACL. https://webd.is/ It is a very old but still active project.
In the article, it says they use Heroku for work and hobby projects. I imagine, like many developers with projects on the side, they try out new tech or platforms on the side and advocate for it at work. In this case, I imagine they used Heroku for hobby projects because it was free and brought it to work (where they could switch seamlessly to a paid tier when usage demanded it) because they liked the platform. On Heroku's side of the fence, I would consider this to be a marketing strategy known as a "loss leader". It's fine for Heroku to take that away, but it's also fine for people to be driven away when the marketing strategy that lured them in is abolished.

I can want free shit. If you offer it, I can use it. If you stop offering it, I can leave and look for more free shit. I can also help other people who want free shit to find it. I can write about it, and you can downvote it if you don't like it. The end.
I like it. It means if someone breaks into the car they can’t get into the glove box. Also, with a Tesla, the car is never off so you don’t need to turn the car on again to get access to it.
Wait, iPhones support CarPlay without a cable?
Yes but this is good timing. A lot of people are pretty unsatisfied with Musk as a human lately and it seems like if there was an alternative available, people would go there quickly.
Agreed, it feels like a severely degrading and unnecessarily hostile act.

If most of the workflow and documentation is not based on git, but instead on issues and PRs, is there an easy way to swap the underlying platform, i.e. GitHub to Gitlab?
This is true, yet Musk has proven to be asynchronous. It could have second order consequences that actually benefit Tesla in the long term. Of course that's hypothetical but there could be some game theory here the truth is we don't know.
So you spent 40 minutes on a bug instead of whole week? Why?! Just use concise and vague descriptions of your work, like "day 1: trying to reproduce the bug", "day 2: investigating root cause of the bug", "day 3: fixing the bug", "day 4: testing the fix", "day 5: performing release of the fix", and so on. They are very short and fast to type, so you will have lot of free time to do an actual work.

I don't they're doing code reviews to understand the quality of the code. I think he's getting a few people he can trust to know their way around the architecture, so tomorrow if some employee decides it's a righteous cause to down the service, they still have some semblance of control and are better prepared to troubleshoot.
So nothing valuable...

Isn't that his goal? Reduce headcount before vesting bonuses on Nov. 1st? It seems like you would be just the sucker that Musk is trying to get rid of before one last milestone cash payment.

On top of which, why couldn't you defend that line in a meeting? "I changed this one line cutting the loading time in half for the program. It took 2 days of profiling to find where to change and another week to ensure that it works across all build targets and work on a deployment timeline."

> 's just a demeaning process meant to assert the dominance of the new owners.

It is in fact a bit of that. Employees who quit are cheaper than fired employees or continued-to-be-hired employees. doing something unreasonable to make them quit seems reasonable, even if that might skew more towards the better employees.

But it's also a rough attempt to identify deadweight who cannot explain why they did anything of value in 2 months.

> classes learning how to understand what the other person is trying to say, not what their actions and subtext scream out

I know this is a total sidebar: Do you mind sharing a little more about these classes?

Not knowing anything about this, my reaction on reading this was the exact opposite.

As a kid, I was always naively trusting of people's words, and I would expend huge amounts of empathy on trying to understand them based on what they were saying. I feel like a large part of growing up and understanding people is being able to look past that — trust what they do, rather than what they say.
You can’t set the domain. Just the path.
This reeks of the arrogance someone who has never gone through recession layoffs. Sometimes your division gets slashed for no reason other then your vp wasn’t slightly more persuasive. When investors want to see cuts, lots of good people end up fired for no reason other than bad luck.

Trying to time a parachute into a not super terrible market isn’t the worst idea. Plus usually the first and second round are the most generous. As belt tightening gets worse and the PR isn’t as bad expect worse benefits.
Yeah, I can't imagine any of them expected to remain at Twitter after Musk took over. This sounds more like the opportunity of a lifetime than anything else: a chance to quit an increasingly difficult, high-pressure job and get paid handsomely for it.
Right, but the average thief is probably not that familiar with a Tesla, and even if they are, these guys move very quickly. Their goal is to get in and get out and move to the next car. They're not going to sit there with an angle grinder unless they somehow know you have something good in there.

One aspect worth pointing out is how much more difficult this would be without public health care. It’s doable sure, but you’d need to either get insurance from a spouse, buy your own healthcare (expensive) or rely on free insurance (very low quality and poor coverage).

No you can't because being a good developer isn't always about smashing out code, I've easily spent 30 days with great developers talking about planning and implementation before much code is written.
