Firmware on devices and thin, consistent USB layers is a blessing, not a curse. Who is going to port your webcam’s fancy driver to Linux or FreeBSD?

Frankly, I wish as many devices as possible worked this way. Operating Systems would be so much more secure and easier to port if we didn’t have to worry so much about those darned drivers.
It depends on what you mean by "smaller." At the majority of smaller companies, it's just CRUD app stuff, probably in C#, with significantly less freedom (often beholden to very non technical middle management).
The ACLU and unions aren’t citizens either, should we ban them from participating?
Right, and it's up to the team to go above and beyond to help them. Managers and senior devs need to step up and get involved more with mentoring and helping.In the office you can gage stress levels of someone who is stuck,lost and not asking for help. In remote they will just hunker down and work nights to try to push through, it happens more to junior than to senior (usually).
IMHO these hirings and firings are not about the present but about the future. Sure, Meta did great but Nokia also did great for a while after iPhone was introduced.

What is the latest cool Meta product which promises a bright future for the company? Well, llama is cool but it's not product and today's greatest social media sensation is TikTok.

I'm sure meta does have some great tech, in fact some of the work they did on VR with all these tens of billions of dollars is groundbreaking but that also failed as a product.

Why would they keep the workforce configuration the same if their current state is probably not what they want to be tomorrow?
> About 1-2% of GDP

It's a self-hosted UI for ChatGPT right now, but my primary goal is to build a good open source chat interface that can be adapted to open source chat models as they become available.

That's because your operating system handles drivers for you these days...

You wouldn't be typing that comment if it weren't for drivers responding to interrupts and polling pressed key codes.

The reason your OS updates is often to update those very same drivers.

Given the amounts of energy involved and (terrible) thermal efficiency of steam traction it would be impractical. You could short the 25kV overhead wires on an electrified route straight to the boiler and I doubt even that would make sufficient steam to get an express up to speed.

A more practical option would be oil firing, which was tried in the days of steam and found to work, but didn't save enough money to be worth the effort in a country that still had an efficient supply chain for coal. It could be done again now and would doubtless work, but wouldn't smell or look quite the same. Better than nothing I suppose and if coal really does become unavailable, that's what heritage operations will have to do.

Animal farming in EU is reliant on Brazilian soy from Amazon. Nowhere on the packet you'll read this. But sure, blame avocado toasts, and ignore the fact that avocados grow on trees and as such are (may be) very sustainable. Just don't do the same stupid stuff as californians do with their almond monocultures.

There is a difference between larping and culture. If you can't understand that you're probably larping thinking its culture.
On this point, I agree with you. We were too scared to talk rationally about nuclear, and we chose to burn coal instead.

I agree with most of this, except that I'm even more bullish on the Steam Deck. My wife has never been much of a gamer, but bought a Steam Deck. Now she can play her cozy games in a way she never could before. It's not great for AAA gaming but its accessible in ways that only Nintendo's consoles have been in the past.
Reminds me of when Bill Gates wrote a book on the "Information Superhighway" (envisioned to be a MS-controlled walled garden like AOL) and then put out a revised edition a year later that replaced the term with "Internet". They still had their walled garden with Windows + IE for several years though.
> Juniors and interns really strugle in a remote environment.

Blanket statements like this are trying to make a multifaceted problem into a single problem. I don't understand why we are always so quick to say underperforming remote junior engineers are underperforming because of remote work. Maybe the problem was Meta went half in on supporting remote as an onboarding ramp and teams did not put the work in to make sure Juniors thrived in a remote environment.

Speaking from experience, If you are truly trying to be a remote company, you adjust as needed to support new employees, junior or not.
For most, if not all of us, it doesn't matter, but to my 55 year old and pretty much tech illiterate father this is pretty major. The one to get is the one that works on his device
It is a good point. But people still can be "looking elsewhere" as in searching if they can find another job. It is exactly the thing I would do if I had any chance that I would loose my job. I know my manager would never do it but with layoffs there are greater forces that he may not be able to save me from.

And changing your availability and answering a call or chat from time to time does not cost much. It is not like there is any downside to it.

And if an A player starts looking around great things sometimes happen. He may get hired at much higher position that would justify the salary. Or he may have already earned a lot at FB and may decide this is the time to invest in building a startup, etc.

At my previous company I got in an argument with my boss and just changed my availability on LI. Just out of spite. This led me to an offer that changed my life. And there is a lot of people so much better at their job than I am.
For someone who joined at the peak of September 2021, let's assume an L6 offer of $240k + 20% bonus + $1.1M in joining stock over four years. With no stock movement and meeting expectations, they'd make $298k cash + $275k stock, for a total of $563k. Now, with that stock down by 50% (ish) as of today, they're total compensation would be $436k. That's still a serious chunk of change, and while a $138k drop in compensation is nothing to sneeze at, they'll also be getting a new grant of $220k/4 years this month(ish), and every year hereafter, bringing their 2023 compensation almost back to $500k if the stock market doesn't move.

So yes, it's a serious pay cut, but it's still amazing pay. Now, if they were bullish on the market, then it might make sense to try to move to another company that can come up with a 7-figure joining bonus and ride that appreciation to new stock heights.
Yeah, but you now have to pick up all the work they were doing.
I completely agree with the math on this (math is math). However here are my observations on why this is still such an interesting problem.

1) All of these explanations end up taking this to the extreme. (Imagine playing 10,000 games. Or imagine 100 doors). The game is purposefully set up as 3 doors and one ”game”. The decision the player makes is final and they don’t get to see “averages over time”.

2) Confirmation bias (there’s probably a more correct term, but I’m going with this). A player picks the door and then switches, knowing their chance of winning is 66% by switching. But it’s also 33% losing. Switch and lose, and psychologically you feel you made the wrong choice. People who don’t understand the math will tell you that you made the wrong choice. I think that can cause a lot of people to second guess themselves, even if they know the problem.

3) Fortunately, the stakes are fairly low. Unlike some of the proposals, losing only means losing out on a car, not death.

The MHP has a mathematical solution, but it’s also very much a human-nature problem.

You shouldn't know how an internal combustion engine works, right? So you bought a shitty truck for you business, it broke (let's say the warranty has expired), now you are broke. A knowledgeable capitalist knows that decreasing trust in vehicles hurts economy, so let's government intervene and compensate you for your broken truck. Right? Or maybe take over Ford/GM so they can build reliable trucks and they don't break, it will be good for economy, right? Banking and choice of banking tools is as important as choosing your truck and it's on you if you call yourself a capitalist, and if you failed, well, blame yourself.
It's weird that several large tech companies all need to fire around 10,000 people at the same time. It's almost like the number is completely arbitrary and they're all soullessly choosing profit over their people because they can.

Answer to the clickbait:

> At my first meeting with Saddam, within 30 seconds, he knew two things about me. I told him my name was George Piro and that I was in charge, and he immediately said, “You’re Lebanese.” I told him my parents were Lebanese, and then he said, “You’re Christian.” I asked him if that was a problem, and he said absolutely not. He loved the Lebanese people. Lebanese people loved him. And I was like, “Well, great. We’re going to get along wonderfully.” (Saddam was a Sunni Muslim, while most Iraqis are Shia Muslims.)

None of them work for multiple employers at the same time.

They are working multiple part-time jobs with shorter-than-customary on-the-clock times, but if they pick up a Lyft passenger, they're only being paid by Lyft for that time, and if they pick up an Uber passenger, they're only being paid by Uber for that time. There's no double-dipping.

The only difference between this arrangement and typical part-time jobs is that with typical PT work, we often think of shifts being measured in hours, whereas with these jobs, shifts are measured in minutes.

As for being able to choose their working hours, it sounds nice in the abstract, but the platforms actively punish drivers whose availability is limited.
Sure, now it may. But 50 years ago? No way!

Yes, our increased exposure to carbohydrates increases the rate of cavities without preventative cleaning. This is like saying "yeah, but now that you have a job where you need to devote time to exercise means that hunting and gathering is a superior lifestyle" - sure, in one facet it would be better but in others it's a lot worse. And there's an easy solution - just brush your teeth. It's also falling for the same fallacy as the other user - "excess {blah} is bad, therefore any {blah} is bad". It's all or nothing, black and white, thinking.

But I'm not just talking about whether we have cavities or not. I'm talking tooth structure itself. Humans have teeth and digestive tracks that are built to consume plants alongside meat. There are no other apes that are obligate carnivores and our teeth haven't (substantially) changed since before we mastered fire.

I encourage you to look at H1B salary stats, you will see that majority are not even remotely low wage. Your argument about “the more skilled workers there are the cheaper the labor” is also backwards, this means we should all be trying really hard to ensure there are no new CS graduates to enter the workforce that will inevitably reduce our earnings.

As an older individual I have trained many younger professionals. I have and continue to be involved in university recruiting and many programs that support minorities in tech. How is that not contributing positively?

If I was only allowed to be in the US for 4 or however few years, why would I give a single fuck about “girls who code”, or anything else that doesn’t maximize my financial gain the short term I am allowed to remain here?

Also I would like to point out to you the difference between “non-immigrant visa” (which most visas fall into this category) that does not guarantee you a path to immigration if you choose to not pursue it, and imposing arbitrary limits on how long an individual can live and work in the country of their choice proven they are able find employment and sustain their life.
where? it's become nearly impossible because of overcrowding.
Maybe employment isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Maybe the goal is to build automation to the point that the moral imperative to labor isn’t as imperative.

Indeed. While one should always look to check on other biases in play, in my experience "F" players survive layoffs almost as often as "A" players, and it's those in the middle that get hit. (Sometimes this may be because the "F" players aren't getting paid as much, and are therefore cheap.)

Not to mention that the remaining "A" players may each be saddled with the work of ten laid-off "C" players because, as far as management is concerned, programmers are fungible. Why not have their 10x programmer take care of it?
I dislike that alot.

I could see a scenario where voluntary attrition helps them get reduce size more organically and with lower cost than a layoff

This is a terrible idea, though. It's always the desirable employees that have options that leave an environment like this, and it's always the less competent employees that hold on for dear life and stay.

I've seen this so many times in my career. The A players will stay because they're attached to the things they've created, but the B players will leave and you're left with lots of C players.

In the long run its cheaper to lay off people.
