> The world has gotten so caught up in value creation that it rewards the roles that are most able to create value or the roles that are non-fungible and necessary.

God I wish that were true. What would you prefer the world reward, other than value creation? Currently the world rewards whoever just already owns everything or whoever is the best at taking advantage of others; value creation has virtually nothing to do with it. A fast-food worker is creating value by preparing tasty fries; Mark Zuckerberg maybe created some value by helping people stay connected, but that's overwhelmingly outweighed by his value destruction if you look at his overall impact on the world.

> if I had the freedom not to work, I would perhaps pursue my own goals or hobbies which may not bring value to the world in the most optimal way

We have very different definitions of "value" then, because I suspect people pursuing their own goals and hobbies is one of the best ways to create value in the world. Of course we also need vast cooperation to create valuable things like the James Webb Space Telescope.

It just sounds like you're dramatically over-estimating how much "value" is produced by (A) the current top caste of rent-seekers leveraging the vast amounts of wealth they were born into into even more wealth by taking advantage of their fellow humans as much as possible, and (B) the vast amount of bullshit jobs that are literally worthless busywork. If you're sitting around writing poetry or building train sets, you're way ahead of both those groups in terms of "value creation".
And this for the simple API. For example, id you want what the people here are interested and playing here here you will need the full API. This needs a 10,000 commitment upfront.
"They only serve to make a manager feel like they know what everyone is doing, all the time."

As a manager it is critically important that I have a sense of what my staff is doing. New assignments come in all the time that require quick turnaround. I need to know who on my staff is available for such projects.

My favorite is the lathe type apple parer (peeler corer slicer). Probably an overkill for eating an apple, but perfect for cooking a few. Invented by David Goodall in 1864! Not because Americans are bad at peeling but because people made all sorts of things with apples and because of “yankee ingenuity”. The first apple parer patent was granted in 1803!

If you need a microcontroller with networking (such as the train sign would), I think the ESP32 (or older/cheaper/less capable ESP8266) is one of the first that comes to mind for most engineers, especially those who aren't full-time firmware engineers.
I get the sense that the vast majority of professional investors are just being swept around by the tides of the market. Over the past 70 years in the United States, that has generally been upward. Until they get dashed against the rocks, but the professional consequences are so low that they can pick themselves up and start again once the tides are better. People attribute so much individual human agency to financial professionals, but 99.9% of them are at the mercy of forces outside of their control, like technological advancement, population growth, federal reserve policy, and globalization.

I think it's important to differentiate between how an individual contributor (IC) interacts with a manager given manager/team dynamics but also Org-wide dynamics. For example, an Org may have an "honest feedback" culture already and the manager may not have to do much because folks are already honest in general; a manager may be trying to increase the "honest feedback" culture with the ICs they work with directly, too.

There are two main "settings" where I find it appropriate for an IC to be "candid" with management - first is with one:one meetings and the other is in "retrospective meetings" with the team.

It's probably important for the IC to feel comfortable giving honest feedback directly to a manager in a 1:1 but that's tough to talk to specifically online - one foundation for this is a "continuous improvement" culture where everyone is striving to do better over time. It could also help to simply ask ICs "what areas can be improved upon". Additionally the manager can ask their manager what items can be improved upon - though a different perspective.

Regular "retrospective meetings" where ICs can list things/events that went "good" or "bad" are a convenient opportunity to get feedback from multiple ICs at once and people may be on their best behavior while in a group.

Good luck! The above is modeled off my current place of work so hopefully there is some relevance with OP's model
It stays in the same location, I believe it is attached because I can't really move it, but it does seem to change size, etc.
Also true, though it's not zero. The different cost drivers/cost model between using SaaS and on-prem infrastructure for logs are interesting and drive different decisions. I have done both in large and small environments and I kind of like the SaaS model because it is easier to put cost incentives on product owners and development teams, which is who should own the P&L. On other words, if you pay $1/GB or whatever, you can get back money by logging fewer GBs. It naturally discourages "log whatever into a giant undifferentiated bucket 'in case you need it'".

You can pay less for equivalent on-prem infrastructure but it drives costs quite differently. For example, it tends to be hard to refresh that infrastructure because it doesn't make you money, so it gets worse over time. The unit cost of storage is very low, often because you make availability/durability tradeoffs that aren't even available to you from the SaaS provider or cloud service. But you will find that the Opex associated with it can be either quite high or poor, and this is hard to reflect in terms of investment by P&L owners.

You can do either approach well or poorly. The way SaaS sucks when doing it poorly is mostly that you are paying a huge amount of money. The way on-prem sucks when doing it poorly is much more complicated and is reflected by toil and tech debt across an organization (which is money but harder to tie to what would fix it), poor visibility, lack of insights, and possibly spending too much in Opex or licenses, depending on the technology. The cost of having a bunch of people do on-prem logging "right" is hard to justify, even for these "large organizations" where I guess, people think, money is free. And even if you've correctly identified and wish to fund the cost of delivering the infrastructure (which as you point out has hardware as only part of its cost), it's not like you can necessarily find the five quality engineers to run the thing. And if you could--do you really want these FTEs working on logging infrastructure or do you want them delivering revenue features?

When people see a BS-peddler they throw their hands in the air and say "you can't fool everyone all the time".

They are missing the point. You don't need to fool everyone all the time, you just need to fool the right people long enough.

I believe tech falls in the in between category. We all know that one person who is actually incompetent, but somehow has enchanted management. He might climb the ranks or get the good graces for a short time, jumping ship just at the right time.

Sure, in the long term everyone will realize this game, but the long term might not matter much. If you worked at the right time (let's say a long and strong bull market), player your cards right and got lucky, you might cash out and retire early before everyone gets wary of your BS.
We actually only have 4 FTE's today and our business is both sustainable and growing. Our scale is also a couple orders of magnitude larger than the numbers from the article, and we have much better control over our BOM.

Hardware is a tough business and managing cash flow & inventory requires you to be a lot more deliberate than a pure SaaS business. Fortunately we had a lot of examples going in of how not to do things.

FWIW I think adding more cameras and monitoring equipment would have a strong incentive since it could still increase the total number of tickets given out.

Either way the government is not purely incentivized to increase funds. Standard fines for traffic violations are changed up or down all the time. Sometimes cities decide their current traffic enforcement is too burdensome and they cut back on tickets. There could be political actors which have incentives to improve it. Whether or not it will ever happen is not clear but I dont think its impossible by any means.

Anything helps when you are in that situation. An additional $3k can pay for the family dog for a full year including vet visits. Or upgrade their child's school supplies. Or get new tires or work boots.

As a counterpoint, my experience has been that having a recurring 1:1 on some cadence makes it feel less weird to flag an issue. If somebody has to block out an adhoc meeting to raise a concern, it feels like a bigger deal. That won’t stop all people or all issues, but it does set a higher bar and that means some conversations won’t clear it.

My 1:1s are not all on the same cadence, and some of them end up spending more time on general rambling than others, but it means that there’s a known space where people who report to me know they have my time and can just bring up whatever. Notably, I do not use 1:1 time to ask tactical questions about projects that are ongoing, there’s other existing channels for project status tracking.

I believe enough in this country and it's people, and that sanity will and does ultimately prevail. It can only get so bad before a critical mass of people vote "enough is enough, time for change".

I do think it will get better. I'm excited for a future where humanity gets to have the internet, and social media, and we know how to not only navigate it, but to leverage it to make the world a better place. Just sad for the pain of the transition, and the fact I probably won't be around anymore to see it!
For better and worse, this is pretty much what I'd expect. It's not a serious attempt to genuinely govern or otherwise make reasonable policy, it's sending up an ideological flag, and since the fundamental ideology is actually opposed to the idea of well-functioning social institutions with mutual accountability...
Successful products are like the ship of theseus, they can go through the hands of thousands of engineers, the important part is having people actively working on it overlapping with more experience people. You don't literally expect the original author to be there forever, butyou do expect people to come onto the project and learn about it whilst the more experienced people are still there. If literally everyone working on a project is gone, the project is probably unmanageable at that point anyway, there's no point starting CPR, the project is dead.
I agree that the prospects of combining the two is very appealing. I do hope that will happen in one way or another.

There can be no harmony between work and life for most people because capitalism isn't interested in your happiness. It only wants to turn piles of money into bigger piles of money. Invariably whatever you do to manage your relationship with work will come to the attention of a manager who will make it their job to disabuse you of the notion that the managerial relationship can go both ways. They manage you, you can only negotiate with them. And they will never consider themselves held to any bargain you strike with them other than one that can be held up in court.

Some workplaces are more or less forced to accommodate (a subset of) their employees. But this only lasts as long as economic conditions force them to. As soon as those conditions change, get ready for the new fleet of managers ready to pound all the pegs into these square holes, never you mind what shape you are.

Work is always, at best, a tenuous truce.
The real axiom is, never trust moving water. Never.
Depends on your role. I (ea for quite a big company) use the time to discuss strategy and roadblocks. Additionally I address personal development if required. For myself I want to also check if I am doing the right things (by now I do know I do things right) and ensure my manager does delegate tasks that can be moved down.
If your on a junior level it should be mostly about you: what can you start doing, how can you develop. Mid career it is a mix of checking the value you bring and if you can learn and develop more.
Another thing to bring as checkpoint is stress and workload: your manager is the only person that can help you if needed, raise the topic early. Overload kills you and makes you deliver poor work, hence no benefit for employee nor employer.
Oh, and look at Daniel pink - drive, might be beneficial.
Building Up Rust
I am sorry to hear about that.

At my company, in Tokyo, there were job titles you couldn't get, until you reached a certain chronological age. Would not be possible, here in the US.

Sometimes, I look at some of these Jurassic-scale meltdowns, and ask myself "Were there any adults in the room, when this idea was discussed? Even a minimally-experienced geek could have foreseen most of these problems."

Of course, it's a trick question. The answer is, inevitably, "No."

Some customers cost more to serve than they will ever make you. Still serving them may make sense. But often it doesn’t. If you’re bootstrapping a gummy bear start-up, a customer who pings you weekly with edge-case support tickets is unlikely worth the engineering effort to appease. If you’re building an AWS competitor, on the other hand, you may want to hire them.

Twitter summary from the journalist:

You haven't answered my question. What is the suicide rate from knives? You specifically brought up knives as a "problem." Your word.

What is the suicide rate from homemade explosives?

Sticks?

Screwdrivers?

You brought those up as "problems."

The evidence I have seen makes me believe that suicide in otherwise healthy individuals seems to be a fleeting goal. It's not as though someone becomes set upon their decision, and continues attempting it until they succeed, for the vast majority of people.

Thus, when someone has the temporary motive of suicide, and they have a firearm available, they tend to succeed. When they have a temporary motive of suicide, but they don't have a firearm available, they succeed less often.

I get that the burden would be on me to argue that perspective with evidence, and I'm not going to be able to provide it any time soon, and I apologize for that.

But since you brought up the "problems" of knives, homemade explosives, sticks, and screwdrivers, again, I have to ask - do you have any evidence that those are worth being described as "problems"?

I always like the phrasing "work life harmony". Work is not an opposing force to things that are not work. It is a thing we all have to do. Some of us like doing it, some don't, but I strive to help work finds its place in my life. There are trade offs and there is an act of balancing in some senses, but in the larger philosophical sense harmony just fits better for my world view.
