And then in a comment:

> @Lukas, I had seen your solution, but you didn't actually explain the syntax, and I couldn't wrap my brain around it. I tried again today, and I think I have something which appears to be working, although I still don't understand the syntax.

This might have been something to work through in a more interactive form such as Stack Overflow Chat - https://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/62927/2023/2/8

The Q&A part of SO doesn't work well with back and forth communication but rather "here is a question, assume this is the final form, try to answer it and move on." There is far too much material there for people to try to curate and cultivate the questions and answers too much.
That (plus "culture"-style questions as in the sibling reply) was pretty much the original purpose of programmers.stackexchange.com but it got taken over by people who didn't like these open-ended questions. After some years with them banned, it was renamed to softwareengineering.stackexchange.com
Using Tigris as an open source MongoDB Atlas alternative for Go applications
One of our major goals in building Tigris was to provide an open source cloud-native alternative to MongoDB Atlas! We love the documented-oriented programming model that MongoDB provides, which makes it easier for application developers to manage their data. But we also think there is a need for an architecture refresh, which requires the database platform to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Our design choices at Tigris, such as composable architecture, focus on strong data consistency, automatic data sharding, and being Kubernetes-native, enable the needed modernization and makes for a much more cost-efficient, resilient, and DevOps-friendly experience.

Check out the blog post below demonstrating performing CRUD operations on Tigris using the official Go driver for MongoDB. Thanks to our partner FerretDB for working with us on enabling compatibility with MongoDB's wire protocol.
Which causes rippling credit defaults and money market failures and now every corporation can't get short-term financing for payroll and ATMs stop working.

And really that last sentence is the problem.

Even if the companies fail it lands on the stockholders, who often had no idea what was going on, a good chunk of them having bought the company through 401(k) funds. The executives go on to other businesses and there's no real consequences for the humans that actually made the decision.

We need to really end the fiction that its the legal entity of corporations that make decisions and should be punished. In reality its the humans behind the curtains doing the deciding, that curtain needs to get stripped away if there is to be real consequences.
I see it all the time in a work context. At three different jobs.

No one really cares where I’m at. I have my laptop signature set to:

Thanks,

$NAME
$RANK
$SERIALNUMBER

I leave it there even if using “Thanks” isn’t entirely correct and my name is repeated below it. Everyone else here does something similar.

My phone signature is the iPhone default. Just like everyone else.

I was in a similar position to OP. I'll comment on

>You could argue that if you're in that situation you should be relying on existing networks to propel you into your next thing

That was very much the case for me. My network is the most valuable thing I posses in many ways, but it is 20 years old and it does stagnate a bit. I used YC founder match to find new connections with (younger) ambitious people who had a strong success drive. More established people tend to have far less bias to commit and act.

> WFH will continue to proliferate among lower tier companies who simply don't have the same levers around prestige and compensation

...as it was for all of the tech world's history before 2020.

Not a comment on if that's a good or bad thing, just stating that we're seeing a reversions to what was considered normal.

Pre-2020, if you met a random guy living in small town Idaho or some random suburb in Indiana, working out of his house, completely remotely, it was more likely that they worked at some company you've never heard of than one of the highest-paying FAANGs, and that their income was more similar to his neighbors than the FAANG worker making $400k.
>Not disagreeing with your first point, but as I see it - this only enables HF to continue to spend money on making good open source tooling + doing research on open alternatives to closed source LLMs (something sorely needed), while opening them up to more enterprise customers who primarily use AWS.

This is the response/ justification every time. The issue is that it never goes that way.

>Time will tell!

It always does. What its shown me is that one step towards the slippery slope is enough to abandon hope for the project. Every good and useful open source project I've seen go this way inevitably turns their back on their customer and long outlives their usefulness.

> Is it a strawman if it appears (among other places) in the 2008 launch blog post of one of the two cofounders[1]?

Yes. As you mentioned the blog post is from 2008, that's 15 years ago now. Jeff hasn't had any input on the direction of stack overflow for more than a decade. From Jeff's blog post that you linked:

> I have not worked at Stack Overflow in any capacity whatsoever since February 2012 and I've had zero day to day operational input since that date, more or less by choice.

So I don't see how his blog post from 2018 has any place in the company's current mission. He says in the blog post that you linked that he had plenty of opinions, but he has chosen to not have any direct influence in the company for over a decade.

And Joel stepped down as CEO in 2019. And Joel's vision has clearly changed. This is from a blog post in 2019, which probably reflects what the current vision of SO has become after seeing what SO has turned into:

> In many ways Stack Overflow’s specific rules for what is permitted and what is not are obstacles, but an even bigger problem is rudeness, snark, or condescension that newcomers often see.[0]

So, yes. People are building a strawman by trying to say the rude, snarky, meaningless cruel remarks are necessary to maintain "quality" answers.

Bingo. Work and life are two separate spheres for me. Having physical separation of them is important.

I realize not everyone is like that. I’m also not a parent which would probably tilt the equation for me.

My dad's factory went to 4 day work weeks in the 90s and never looked back. Everyone was happier, and the various suppliers and customers learned pretty quickly not to call on Friday because it was rare that anyone was there.

I'd guess it's just the sad-but-inevitable result of Firefox market share dropping so far. Remember back when every website would tell you your browser was "out of date" unless your user-agent matched IE6's?

For everyone not on Firefox, this is one reason why we kept saying a browser monoculture is bad.

So can we at least take a second to appreciate the orders of magnitude of growth between BBS' and tiktok? With data structures and algorithms we're very willing to accept that orders of magnitudes shifting can change our basic assumptions about things.

The point isn't that these things haven't existed in some form forever, it's that they're scaling to points where these effects are becoming increasingly dangerous, proportional to the growth of these systems.

Many made expensive decisions assuming remote work would become the norm. My guess is there is a large overlap between the bristling crowd and expensive decisions crowd.

Sure remote work is good for many experienced individual tech workers but bad for basically everyone else including the company and the communities remote workers have moved to.

The pro remote arguments reek of motivated reasoning. It is especially hard to escape noticing that remote work is financially beneficial for tech workers. Particularly as it relates to housing.
This makes a lot more sense to me than how SO presents itself. It's a forum to post your own questions to which you already found the answers. I do see value in that.

But, there's almost no value in posting questions and hoping for an answer back. If that's what you want, then the right place is wherever the folks hang out who work on that technology - IRC, Discord, email list, etc.

Copywriting services (Hello ChatGPT)
Sci-fi was that AI would be able to write great stories.

Reality is that people flood submissions low-effort boring crap.

You probably can use AI tools/ChatGPT to write interesting stories, or use its output as a starting point (I'm not sure if it would be less effort than just writing a story from scratch though). But that's of course not what's happening.

First rule of designing anything is what I would call Tucker's Second Law[1]: "if some cunt can make a buck by completely fucking over your system then that cunt will completely fuck over your system because that cunt is a cunt."

This is a huge problem with a lot of different things, ranging from email spam to how the "make a quick buck" type of hucksters have taken over cryptocurrencies to how nations design things like their tax and benefits systems.

There's also that we once had a society where one person in a household worked 8 hours a day and one did house chores (including raising kids) for 8 hours a day.

In a modern, fair society, that should translate into both people working 4 hours a day and house chores 4 hours a day.

Unfortunately the reality right now is we're pushing both people to each work 12 hours a day AND do 4 hours of chores on top of that.

A little bit of UX feedback: It would be great if the balloon were a draggable object, not just click once & then again, I tried to do this about 10 times before I realized: click once on the balloon and then again on the map! Or maybe edit the instructions (click balloon and then map).

I'm a PM and I work from home - far and away the biggest advantage IMHO isn't the lack of commute (though that's great), but rather the flexibility in schedule.

My most productive hours are 6-9am - I can crank through what would take me most of 9am-5pm in that time period. That's wasted when I have to get ready and commute during that time period. When optimizing for most efficient working times, 40 hours a week is really 20-30 depending on meetings.

This is always my favorite fantasy. No one would have issues with "Agile" if you had unlimited time and money...but that's not how the world works. Hence why you break everything up into smaller chunks. It gives you clearly defined guardrails so that projects don't spiral out of control. EDIT: AND the people funding said projects know where there money is going. That's important.

But I was under the impression that ChatGPT would help people be more kind and compassionate in their correspondence if they struggled with that before?

Wouldn’t someone start by creating some basic points about what they want to express and then edit the response?

Isn’t ChatGPT supposed to be a “jumping off point” for these kinds of thing?

Are people mad because the author was transparent about their use of editing tool? Should the Dean have been less transparent? I don’t put in my correspondence that I use spelling and grammar checks in Word, so why would you say you used ChatGPT?

I've been thinking of using this as an office book club reading. We have some very important systems that have not been sustained, have no or very outdated documentation, and essentially no tests (or none of significant value, a single, fragile end-to-end test barely counts as a test when it can fail just for looking at it sideways on a Tuesday in May).

It's a very good book and more people should read it. Some great insights on how to get control of an existing system.

For me it was a great balance: instead of the weekend feeling like days off from work, general life felt like alternating between holidays and work, since they're about the same length.

3 work days might work as well, but fewer than that and you start to lose the flow at work. And given that I do generally enjoy my work, it isn't necessary for that holiday feel anyway.
As a software developer, I can 100% support your findings.

Yay, a map of trees in London. Ok I'm being facecious but it'd be better if it was more widely covered. Surely we have lidar now that can delinieate different trees from the canopy data, using some ML or something...

I watched the 5th episode of LIDAR heroes from NASA today and they're talking about 1m+ points on the new devices, surely we could actually count how many trees using that data.. yea, might be a bit off, but it'd work in urban areas where mass density canopy calcs or whatever is impossible.

Lonesome trees need love too
In Canada you can't call yourself an engineer unless you've actually been certified as an engineer. In the US, engineering programs worth anything are typically ABET certified. We should stop throwing that word around like it doesn't have a centuries old profession associated with it. It cheapens what actual trained engineers do and have done to earn their training.

Note the first revision and its author https://stackoverflow.com/revisions/1003841/1

Then look at https://stackoverflow.com/posts/1003841/revisions (both pages, but the key part is on the most recent one) with the closed, locked, and deleted actions and who did them.

The (for lack of better terms) Atwoodian and Spoloskian philosophies of how the site should be run and that fracture continue to this day with (excessively simplified caricatures) some looking to delete everything that isn't good so that they could concentrate on what was left and others trying to fix everything even though it isn't good to start with and a "we'll get around to it" for most of the content.

That the fracture hasn't been resolved and Stack Overflow corporate still hasn't really come down and said what they want it to be (though they want more "engagement" so it feels like it will be more Spoloskian - but they don't want the Atwoodians to leave).

If you waste majority of CPU to serialize/deserialize/send to network you should probably just "do the job" right there and then (aside from loadbalancers and such for obvious reasons)
