This advice won't help you right now, but when you do find your next role, try take an active role in tech interviewing. It's something I pushed hard to take part in two jobs ago, and it's shown me what good candidates and bad candidates look like, how to interview and how not to bomb the interview in the first few minutes. It's also helped me massively as a candidate.
Usually i know how expensive things can get in corporate world so i don’t act like i know better from my armchair but that number is literally insane for a VR headset.
> You are surrounded by people

The idea of corporate worship is that the assembly is united in their purpose, there is an order observed, and the people develop discipline from this orderly worship. Also, people are not machines and that's disgusting that you draw this analogy.

People may distract, even in that situation. Many have their minds elsewhere, some don't want to be there, someone may even be actively disruptive. But corporate worship is not usually contemplative meditation.

I have been in worship sessions where silence is strictly enforced, and there is no master guiding an order of prayer. This adoration is always in a group setting. Hey, I've even used my device sometimes to look up Bible verses. It's not sterile.

But if someone is sitting at home, alone, the best practice is to shut out unnecessary distractions to the extent that it is possible. And your phone obeys its corporate master. A mobile device is not under the control of the user holding it.
> The western reason for doing things: focusing on getting external circumstances in order (friends, career, house, family) will cause a huge amount of anxiety.

As somebody who doesn't practice mindfulness but has read a fair bit about it this sounds like a strawman. What I've read is about internal circumstances that have a spill over effect on external. Which doesn't sound much different than the eastern teachings.

I think we are mostly in agreement - platforms are good, but they should be driven by product teams who see value in them and feel empowered to improve and maintain them when needed. Whether there is also a dedicated platform team or it is more of a group collaboration between product teams is ultimately a detail, as long as the product teams do participate in building and maintaining the platform.
> There is a systematic effort to plagiarize from Indian traditions and then claim them to be rediscoveries of the West

That's just inverting Tibetan Buddhism; if you wanted anyone to believe in something you invented there, you had to claim it was old and from India.

Old and from Tibet was okay sometimes, but only if you claimed your ancestor's spirits dictated it to you or pointed you to the ancient rock it was buried under. (these are called air and earth termas)

This definitely used to be the case for me, but the large employment gap absolutely killed that. Not a surprise.
Let's say you offer a custom built UX design system with components. Most of it is written. At some point, you need a big component that doesn't exist yet, but other teams could benefit from that.

This is such a situation, and it happens all the time in internal products.

Either you over invest, you under invest, or the solution proposed here: jit developments where you can allocate resources as you need them.

> These developers don’t really care about the platform

They care as much as it helps them. The overall vision is steered by the architect responible for that internal product/platform, as said by OP.
> If you want me to tell you "it's OK to violate laws if I will not be punished" then nothing I say will matter. I know this attitude because I grew up in a country where many people thought that way. But if you want to do honest business and have clear conscience, yes you are still subject to local laws...

I understand how you got there, but that's not what I meant.

I mean why would I be subject to local laws of a company I have no legal entity in and have never been to? e.g I'm not subject to Sharia law, because I don't live in a country where this is the case. Is it dishonest for me not to follow this law?

There are countries where holocaust denial is illegal. Aside from the poor taste of doing so, should I obey this law despite not being in a country with this law?

My point is that if I put something up on my web server I host in my country, it is not my responsibility to understand if the content is legal in every country in the world before doing so, despite some of them maybe having laws against it. Why do you believe this becomes my responsibility if I decide to sell the content?
> in my experience seemed to

You lost me there. There needs to be real numbers measured, or the effect never existed.
That depends entirely on their skill. I’ve seen people with 10 years of experience that were still junior.
I was about to write the same. I volunteered in the company to help with hiring and after 20-30 interviews you get a lot of insight, what is looked at when evaluating and just in general being more natural when talking to people you see for the first time.

Can’t recommend it enough!
BioMenace was on a computer of the parallel group (pupils were put into groups A, B, C, etc., who would have their classes separately). One of my best friends excelled at that game. I enjoyed watching him play it.

In hindsight, we were pretty lucky to have computers at that time at school. Even if old ones. Still have not found all of the games again on DOS game archives, that were on these machines.
Eh, maybe an "engineer", if they have junior, null, senior grades. A lot of places wouldn't consider that sort of experience level automatically senior; they'd have to be exceptional.
This is symmetric difference, but still has the problem that it's a set operation whereas in general a table is a bag (multiset).

Is this is similar to the situation with vehicles that have to have the parts coded to the ECU otherwise they refuse to work?

I know that it's trendy to hate on Apple, and I hate that Apple is doing this, but why has no one cared that for over a decade now my Honda has parts that even an independent garage cannot replace due to coding of parts?
Gimp and Paint.net have probably benefited from a million hours of open source labor and yet their capabilities are nowhere near Adobe's products.

People underestimate how much work commercial software takes by many orders of magnitude. This kickstarter is maybe performance art but if they're serious there is no chance in hell they will actually produce software that is actually competitive with an Adobe suite product.

Listen, you enjoy anime, that's fine, I grew up on Guyver, Dragonball, Trigun, Ghost in the Shell, there's plenty of great anime out there.

You seem very defensive.

If you have images of anime girls (especially young looking) as your wallpaper... People think you are weird. Nobody is telling this to your face because they don't want to offend you, but they are judging you, and I am too.

If you don't... what's the deal? Why are you defending it so much?

Trying to defend it by insinuating I am predjudiced against a group of people (because all Japanese people like anime??? I've lived there, they do not.) in some way is a facile defense.
Hahah. Love it. However I would suggest to already start raising money for the upcoming lawsuit.

As a dev, Adobe’s premium tax is irrational.

It doesn’t sound technical at all. It sounds like you’ve read a book or two beyond the abc and cat in the hat. But then, US education.
Irrelevant and based on very specific US salaries (actually, no, US tech hub salaries), along with absolutely no guarantee of having talented developers even at prices above. Otherwise, Google would be filled with talented developers, and we all know that's not true.

The creator of the kickstarter lives in the UK. Even assuming the absolute worst of London salaries, you can pay for two developers, full time. If you look at other places in the UK or Europe that aren't overinflated with capital-city-salaries, there are a shitload of talented developers that will cost you anywhere from 50 to 100k a year. Eastern Europe is filled with extremely talented people.
Maybe, if you're surviving on Ramen. That said, I wouldn't want to go up against Adobe with a team of two Ramen-fueled developers in Bulgaria.

I don't doubt you can make a cell phone app for that money, but something that would compete with Adobe's incredibly polished and well-funded software suite... I'm thinking the odds aren't good at all.
> If you are an individual, you can get the generic ISO by donating on Open Collective. And if you are contributing to VyOS, whether you are writing code, improving the docs, or promoting VyOS publicly, we are happy to share pre-built images with you through contributor subscriptions.

Sounds fair to me. Truth is there's no good alternative other than pfSense but if you want Linux (hw support etc) I don't know if you can do better than vyos for routers.
This is overly dualistic. (that's a word Buddhism likes to use to mean "wrong")

Another way to think of it is to consider them and you as a single thing (a mandala) and improve that.

And of course Buddhists are not necessarily going to see being victimized as bad anyway. What's that to a monk?
1. People are building a next version of the distro anyway. Even if you want stable, you don't want 80ies stable.

2. Is making a new release really more work? Most parts of a distro come from upstream, so their development too. I don't think most tools have stable branches, you're just expected to upgrade. Backporting security fixes is then actually more work than simply updating and solving breakage every now and then.
Adobe seems exeptionally unproductive with incredible product stagnation so this doesn't seem that infeasible to me.
And somehow they managed this incredible pace of software development without modern tools like git, or probably any kind of revision control system even (RCS/CVS/ClearCase were available on Unix systems, but in the DOS world I don't think there was anything).
My smartphone does exactly what I tell it to do during my meditation time. You keep arguing a strawman using religious language.

Really?
This type of attitude is exactly why silicon valley is primed for failure The bloat and the expense of silicon valley is going to be their downfall.

plenty of regions in the US and other nations have many talented developers that are willing to work for far less and make a far better product than what you get for silicon valley wages
If you can’t show me you’re a senior+ engineer, then I’m not going to hire you for a senior+ job. It’s as simple as that. You can ace the technical interview, but if you can’t tell me why I should choose YOU over every other candidate that aces the technical interview… why shouldn’t I pick one of those other ones? It has nothing to do with ego or anything else.

This is a skill, learning to sell yourself. It translates into being able to get sell innovative projects to stakeholders, to learning new things, to understanding business requirements.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d love to hear why or how.

> I come from a contemplative Christian tradition, and we've adapted Mindfulness to Christocentric meditations.

> Focusing first on the breath is a fundamental building block of this technique, but it is thoroughly a spiritual technique. To rob this contemplative prayer of its Christocentric nature is to eviscerate all meaning and all purpose from it as well.

So you've robbed mindfulness of its "budacentric" nature and it still works but if we rob it of the christocentric nature that you've added it wont work?

> It is a state of being in the moment and aware of what we're doing, and why, while we're doing it.

This is basically what every western source also says so I don't see why you think that "western" mindfulness doesn't work.

I certainly hope not. I don't think companies should expect to be able to hijack a common word as their company name and then complain when another company uses a different word as its name.

> a B-52 broke up while flying over Goldsboro, North Carolina, dropping two nuclear weapons to the ground. One was relatively undamaged after its parachute deployed successfully, but a later examination revealed that three out of four safeguards had failed

Okay, that's scary. I can just imagine someone looking to improve efficiency or cost savings thinking that four safeguards is over-engineered.

This is a bold and untrue statement. There's every kind of Buddhism possible out there. Pure Land is pretty theistic…
$37.50/person sounds pretty ridiculously expensive to me for casual dining.
It is strange.

I wouldn't come to a tech site to air the counter-tech opinion and I wouldn't anticipate a fair and balanced response.
So it took them 1000 times to get a good result from this experiment over 19 years, and two steps in the process require a stroke of luck?

That doesn't inspire confidence.
$235K ? Yeah, erm, sure you're not missing a few zeros at the end of that ?

First people want well written software that has ongoing support and updates. $235K will barely get you to a workable beta version that competes with the Adobe suite.

Secondly, that's a hell of a risk calling yourself "Abode" and having a logo that could be argued to be "confusingly similar". Even if Adobe don't take you to court over it, they could still easily make you rack up $235K in out-of-court lawyers fees.

It's a productivity focused browser. Someone mentioned it helped him manage tabs, which was never a problem for me.

But they rethink UI to suit workflow. There's subtleties like how it replaces bookmarks, stays logged in to email or informs you on the GMeet favicon that your next meeting is in 21 min. Entering developer mode on a page is as easy as opening a new tab.

It remembers your previous tabs well, so when you try to type and open a new one, it lists possible history items that you might be looking for.
I'm totally behind all opposition against this, as I'm massively in line with the sentiment here. However thinking about it more and more, I get the impression that it will be essential to explain the impact of this to normal people (like my mom) and that's, what I just don't succeed in so far.

Without a broad support and public opinion about this, they might shockingly just be able to get this started. Apple and on-device CSAM scanning is something I have in mind about this, as s counter example.

What's a simple narrative non-tech people understand about this? Should I ask ChatGPT?
I don't think the org is/was dysfunctional. Tight deadlines are a reality of certain business sectors, especially when selling big expensive B2B software, where you have to sell something in your customers' budget windows or lose the opportunity. And I don't see how a platform team could be empowered to decide on its own which of two competing business goals, from two separate business groups, to pursue, and which to postpone for months.

Related to collective dev/ownership, that is a risk, I absolutely agree. That is going to be the hardest part for sure, maintaining a uniform standard and a high bar for contributions to a common platform.

Finally, I believe the general opinion is that open-source software is higher quality and especially has higher code quality than internal company software. I can't say I studied any directly comparable open-source projects VS our internal tools, but code quality definitely varies significantly between our own internal projects, with some extremely clean and well written, while others are messes of hasty bug fixes and accumulated tech debt.
It's not any weirder than any other exercise app. It keeps you on track and reminds you what you're supposed to do. (Which isn't exactly "just sit there." You can do it wrong.)

You can even get an EEG reader for biofeedback meditation like Muse. Works well as long as you stay away from the Deepak Chopra stuff.

> I honestly don't think that digital identity should be managed by governments or corporations, they already have too much leverage over individuals

The reason why it needs to be managed by the government is because legal contracts are ultimately enforced by government courts. Many things that, today, rely upon pen-and-paper signature (and Docusign-style electronic variants, which are just digital facades to the pen-and-paper reality), to get them enforced, require submitting more mountains of paperwork and physical appearances etc. We can't get out from behind that paper legacy, really start to explore contracts that can be disputed and enforced with simple online forms and no in-person appearances (everything from employment, to real estate / housing, to credit...) until the courts have a trustworthy to say, for this digital identity that signed that agreement, we know that it really was such-and-such a real person.

> It's a straight way to tyranny.

You'll disagree, but I would argue that it isn't more powerful tools that make government tyrannical, but a lack of education, poor culture, and a lack of checks-and-balances on government power. The government is supposed to have a monopoly on various parts of life, first and foremost a monopoly on violence (police, courts, and justice). "Democratic" but weak governments (consider e.g. Mexico, in the context of the drug wars) are ineffective at securing the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; America has a history of strong governmental institutions that protect these rights. "Technology is neither good, nor evil, nor neutral, it simply is," and indeed, improving governmental strength by pushing past technical barriers is simply an orthogonal concern (IMO) to whether or not governments are just or tyrranical.

It's great. Just a great vibe. Cool with the widescreen patch too.
The person posting didn't have to. Everyone else is saying they aren't getting hired. Who do you think is on the other side of these transactions?
For any distro, “fixing bugs” that affect users will mean upstreaming patches to source in over 99% of cases. If you’re upstreaming patches, you’ll want to run the new version of upstream with those fixes included. Now you’re running new software and you’ve come full circle to a distro upgrade.

The alternative is to maintain your own patches, but that is not remotely sustainable for even the largest commercially supported distributions.

I sidestep all these concerns by running a rolling release distro on my workstation and deploying serverless code at work. I don’t miss the days of trying to get software downloaded off the web to work on a fixed debian or Ubuntu install.

Edit: nor having my production language runtime constrained by distro!
I'm on a keto diet and eat that level of fat pretty regularly. When I cook eggs I'll use 1/4 stick of butter per 3 eggs and serve it over a huge pile of cheese. Add in sour cream or bacon and the fat content gets pretty high quickly. Tastes amazing.
There is this romantic notion that the huge company gets it all wrong and a couple of guys in a garage with the right approach can dethrone them. The Apple story all over again. This success story is actually exceedingly rare in practice despite how much we like it.

But Abode isn't even that. They appear to want to create what Adobe creates, but with a small team. Something many other companies have failed to do with bigger teams and more funding. It's basically competing with Adobe at Adobe's game, but with a tiny fraction of the resources. Well, good luck to them, but meanwhile expect to pay Adobe's tax for a few years still...
