Those kinds of people are generally stuck at a lower level. L7/8/9 is very much a political game. To get there (generally) you need to make your entire org/company look very good, and generally to make your team look good you need to work well with them so that you can convince them to work on the high impact projects that you identify.
This thread keeps conflating a subset of culture which exists within families or small subsets of already small towns within America which is a subset of western culture... in order to dismiss the dominant mainstream culture from which counter cultures are sprung from on the wider internet.

Despite the fact these current cultural trends and related ideologies are very much dominant on every major western social media platform and even more so among dominant traditional media platforms (and their executives and journalists). Yet they still pretend it's not the default culture in the west.

The existence of pushback from significant/influential parts of the population != you're not the dominant mainstream culture.

If well applied, things like animation in UI isn't superfluous. I would agree that a lot of animation in software is superfluous, but that doesn't mean that it has to be.

As far as developer choice goes, that's going to depend on what gets that particular individual fired up. Personally speaking, it's the possibility to produce something that's both polished and thoughtful on top of being highly functional. For me a project where the human interface is to be phoned in sounds like a miserable slog.
I just bought a Brother HL-L3270CDW and not an HP printer expressly because of this cartridge extortion crap.

$300 for a 'laser' printer is fantastic and the quality is great. Setting it up was super easy. Only thing is that the printer has a giant footprint.

Two Lions | Founding Engineer | https://twolions.co | Full-Time | REMOTE (Global)

We're a Startup Studio based out of San Francisco. Looking for a founding engineer. We're focused on building all of our startups using Clojure.
The company we're currently focused on is called Warmer where we’re building automation and power tools for the commercial aspects of every startup (sales, marketing, recruiting, and fundraising).
We’ll be user obsessed, and rapidly iterating on the ui which will be focused on ultra simplicity. There will be a great deal of crawling, parsing, and some ML & NLP.

The other project we’re working on is a algorithmic trading system. If you’re interested in ML/Finance, we’d love to chat.

After noticing someone else wrote a very similar article on an RSS reader on Android the day before, John posted a new article today. It included this:

> One thing I learned long ago is that people who prioritize design, UI, and UX in the software they prefer can empathize with and understand the choices made by people who prioritize other factors (e.g. raw feature count, or the ability to tinker with their software at the system level, or software being free-of-charge). But it doesn’t work the other way: most people who prioritize other things can’t fathom why anyone cares deeply about design/UI/UX because they don’t perceive it.

I’m curious what you think of it. I’m not trying to imply you’re in ether category.

That's just one of the many reasons I don't give damn about following people on Insta or whatever platform.
> Python cannot express this relationship with type annotations.

What relationship? That two classes which have no ancestor classes in common happen to be duck type compatible? Yes, Python type annotations can't express that, because there is no type relationship to express.

The way to avoid this problem in Python is to make sure duck type compatible classes have an ancestor class in common. That was a main point of the collections.abc module when it was introduced, to provide actual classes that expressed the duck types that were built into Python (being a subclass of MutableMapping, for example, expresses the fact that a class is duck type compatible with the built-in dict class).

As for "dataclass", it's not a class, it's a function. But the dataclass module provides the "is_dataclass" function that you can call on any class to check whether it's a dataclass. As far as I know, this will detect both your "dataclass_alias" and "dataclass_wrapper" cases. So this function could be used by any tool that wants to check for dataclasses.
#1 might be true today, but it was definitely not when react was new. I made a fairly simple react site that worked great on my workstation, and then I tried using it on my Android phone and it was unusably slow.

Well, WhatsApp is moving beyond "pure" messaging with payments and commerce (Eg: JioMart integration in India).

Another approach would be to compare with wechat with 1.2 billion active users generating an estimated 15+ Billion in revenue in 2021 (https://www.businessofapps.com/data/wechat-statistics/) without much North America / EU presence and being banned in India.

Thirdly, click to message ads are already a "multi-billion dollar" business with "strong double digit growth" as of 2022 (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/07/why-meta-and-mark-zuckerberg...)

Part-time only!

I'm bootstrapping a new business (a makerspace), but would love to complement it with a part-time role. 13 years of experience loving both IC and director type roles. Scaffolding/architecting new distributed system components, cloud operations, developer experience tooling, and mentoring have always been front and center for me, but I'm fairly versatile, even loving documentation and process development. Best fit is probably a role where I can help get something off the ground and mentor someone more junior to take ownership of it.

I'd take a pretty steep discount from my historical rates for the right part-time role and schedule flexibility.

This is a bad take on a common problem with higher level languages. The burden will always be on the programmer to be responsible for selecting the best approach to implementing any solution while keeping in mind the additional workload they might be inflicting on the tools, system, or subsequent maintainers. The language, at best, can be considered at fault for providing poor documentation and bad examples for use cases (Java comes to mind: Somewhere Oracle's docs suggest defining 15+ line callback function within the argument list for the function that registers it.) which would contribute to the problem. It is possible the issues the author has pointed out instead are related to how easy it might be for an inexperienced developer to utilize the language improperly. Perl is notorious for this and it is a major complaint for everyone who has had to deal with someone else's abomination of a solution. Thus, it is common knowledge for Perl users to familiarize themselves with Conway's book 'Perl Best Practices' in order to a avoid causing grief for both your peers and antecessors.

As someone who develops for both platforms I agree. Android Framework is just not as good as UIKit and may never be. Jetpack Compose does seem to be an improvement based on the dabbling I've done, but it's still a work in progress and there's no telling how long Google's interest in the project will persist.

That said, as the sibling comment notes, swipe gestures and context menus aren't too bad to implement on Android. Like Gruber says, it's a cultural difference. For whatever reason it just doesn't strike the average Android dev that these features might be desirable.
I thought it might work a little like the NYT sudoku app: placed numbers delete candidate notes automatically, but you can also manually toggle candidates on/off. I guess a once-off generation would probably work to achieve this?

Agreed, and Digikey has parts in stock for just $2,625.30 each :-). (well for the 4 channel ones).

Although it also explains why we've had a kind of "rush" on GHz quad channel oscilloscopes (Keysight, Tektronix, R&S, and even Rigol all have updated offerings that probably use this chip).

I'd love to play with one but I am not going to fork over $44K for an evaluation board.

You can buy flight tickets from Google, that is a relatively new product even if you buy them from the search result. So Google search is good at adding new products that are context sensitive to your query, I don't see why they couldn't make such things with a chat bot answering question queries instead of just trying to link to sites with answers.
This guy is a fool and doesn't have a good system for evaluating value.

If he wouldn't pay $20 a month to prevent tooth decay, he clearly is the type who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
> All of this to say: it could have been a contender! It could have been like TypeScript!!

No, it's to say: "I think Python should have done things the way TypeScript does!" But Python is not TypeScript. It's a different language with a different design philosophy. Expecting to use it exactly the way you would use TypeScript is of course not going to work out well, just as expecting to use TypeScript exactly the way you would use Python is not going to work out well.

That’s generally how it works - there is the federal WARN act and state acts as well, so the details can vary, but typically the goal is to announce mass layoffs “in advance.” But the devil is in the details. Sometimes companies time their severance against WARN, so you’ll get a round of layoffs that take effect in 60 days followed by a WARN notice dated forward. Other times, companies claim an exemption to the notice period, of which there are a few.

> a chat bot answering question queries instead of just trying to link to sites with answers

And kill their golden goose? Google makes more money the longer you spend on their ad-ridden search result pages. I don't doubt they'll make a question answering bot, but the real question is how they fund it (see edit above for my guess).
As far as I'm aware they wouldn't have known it was coming and wouldn't have been able to volunteer. I haven't heard of anyone who was voluntarily laid off. As far as I know you were either (seemingly randomly) laid off, or you're still employer, in which case you could just resign, but you wouldn't get severance.

How does an L9 SE get laid off?

I don't know much about the expectations, but if you're that high level then you're probably taking risks. Sometimes those risks pay off, sometimes they don't. Moreover, sometimes you just need time in-between for inspiration or for discovery.

Any additional insight is appreciated.
I do like John, and his podcasts - but every now and then after an extra sappy dose of one eyed Apple BS I need to take a break for a little while. HN audience may have a similar reaction.
Why shouldn't an L9 get laid off? They even laid off some VPs (including mine). The layoffs hit all up and down the org chart. The most senior people are also the most expensive people, and considering that layoffs for cost reasons are always trying to meet a specific total savings value, it does make sense to trim from higher up people too.

Engineering animals is a touchy subject in Congress, but these scientists have latched on a topic that almost no one is opposed to.

The fact that they are attracting money in an area no one will touch should inspire hope.

Just keep books of the type that were in the libraries from 2010 and before.

The left wants books like "Adam and Adam Conceived a Child Because Both Men Got Pregnant Through Their Penises" and "Kill All the White Men in the World" and all that. The left wants that, and the right does not.

On the other side, the right might want to put books like "I Love the KKK" and "Men Do Construction Work, Women Don't" and all that. The right wants that, and the left does not.

So how about putting in uncontroversial books into libraries. Both sides can indoctrinate their own children however they want via the internet.

Otherwise, I get to put in my own hard-core porn books into school libraries, complete with pictures of the Cleveland Steamer and Dirty Sanchez, BD/SM, Furry role play and all that.
