Confidence intervals don’t have precise timelines associated with them. Sometimes you know exactly what the problem is when you hear the symptoms.

We always balance new work versus cleanup. I always have a laundry list of beefs with my own work. You often have a sneaking suspicion that this piece of code is wrong in a manner you can’t quite put your finger on. Or you do but a new customer is trumping a hypothetical error. Or ten people are blocked waiting for you to merge some other feature. And then someone gives you a test case and you know exactly what is wrong with it. Sometimes that’s fixing a null check, an off by one error, or sorting results. And sometimes the repro case basically writes itself.

If only the receiver hung up, the call would remain "live" and resumable for about 8 seconds.

This is how you accelerate the end of the US empire. It's bad for us, but tbh, good for the world. The pulling out of America from international institutions and disrupting the scientific pipeline will erode America's ability to perniciously influence world institutions and reduces our ability to brain drain the rest of the globe for the benefit of 4% of the world population (and really, the major benefits go to the top 20% of that 4% and the bulk of that goes to the 1%... 0.1%....).

I think the OP's point is that "crushing the tickets" should not be your first priority.

That does not mean you should not be closing JIRA tickets, but it does mean that the number of tickets closed should not be your #1 metric.

In other words: if you have a choice of closing 10 easy tickets or 1 hard ticket this week, what should you choose? It's a trick question! You should be choosing whatever is most important for company. If those 10 tickets are required for release, by all means, crush them! But if there is a high-profile incident that VPs pay attention to, then forget about 10 tickets and do that single one to mitigate it.

Just the integer promotion rules are more complex than many languages' entire parser. And undefined behaviour makes the language practically impossible to learn, because there's simply no way to confirm the answer to any question you have about the language (other than "submit a DR and wait a few years for the answer to be published" - even the people who wrote the standard are confidently wrong about what it says, all the time) - you can form a hypothesis about how the language works, write a program to test this hypothesis, observe that the result is what you thought it would be - and you've learnt nothing, because your program was almost certainly undefined behaviour under a strict enough reading of the standard.
How often would you say you got these negative interactions (anything other than a "thank you" or silence)?

The fixed price contracts this focuses on are an issue, but this is largely a consequence of Boeing's inability to execute over the past 20ish years across all their work.

Fixed price contracts have screwed a number of programs the last few years (higher than anticipated inflation rates increase both labor and material costs). But these programs weren't failing because of the recent high inflation (2021-2023: 4.7%, 8%, and 4.1% respectively). Boeing was failing long before that, with the fixed price + inflation being just one more nail in the coffin.

--------EDIT--------

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-46_Pegasus

This is one of the programs discussed in the article. It delivered years late. It had serious design flaws and other deficiencies that required redesigning and reworking systems. Most of this happened last decade (2010s). Their fixed price contracts aren't the reason it's costing them money today. It's costing them money today because they were so late to deliver. Many of their programs suffer similarly.

100% agree, you simply have to prove varied competencies repeatedly to level up. It’s very intuitive, and leading projects means guiding others to execute the varied competencies you’ve now demonstrated your understanding of.

Yes! This is exactly the niche I'm trying to solve.

Not everyone is purely money-motivated. And while salaries for some things may be lower, the cost of some things is also lower (health care being a major one).

I don't know what the salaries are in Bio, but with regards to developer salaries you can live a very comfortable life on a "low" European developer salary (excluding perhaps a few countries with deeper structural problems such as Portugal).

I just don't like board games. I even was working at a startup making a custom campaign

sounds to me like you are talking about role playing, which is one kind of table top game, while board games in general are an entirely different kind of table top game. chess is a board game, risk, settlers of catan, that sort of thing. possibly even magic the gathering. basically anything that is not about role playing. a board game club would generally be about those, not about role playing.

the key point here is that while role playing may not be your thing, most board games have an entirely different dynamic, and if you haven't tried them yet, i recommend you take a look.

Awesome article about how to get a promotion.

Deserves a follow up article for “how software companies should actually be run to avoid promotion seeking behaviors like projects > all else”

Most software companies just need 1 (or at most a handful) of really amazing products.

Most products are composed of a handful of “projects”.

I’ve worked at big and small tech companies where we were so busy building projects for projects for projects with no correlation to customer value. Things like a custom UI snapshot testing suite.

I do think Google, Meta, and Microsoft have the budget to work on such projects that ultimately benefit the whole tech community. And it’s a tide that raises all ships (TypeScript, React, and Basel come to mind but there are many more examples). But if you’re anybody the size of Lyft or smaller, you probably just want a small team of engineers hyper-focused on building an amazing product without all the “projects”.

For example, what all the 4k+ engineers at Spotify are working on every day, I have no earthly idea. It’s not just a waste of money, it’s an obstacle to genuine progress and innovation.
Disagreed. To get the best of both worlds I run smart switches that control the smart lights. E.g. install the Philips Hue Wall Switch Module (Zigbee) and make an automation in HomeAssistant to turn off the corresponding light(s).

Now you benefit from both, like being able to make the lights fade off/on.

Also, in case it doesn’t always respond instantly, you should be able to bind the Zigbee devices directly to each other so that it doesn’t need to travel to the Zigbee coordinator (or mesh?) first. Haven’t had the need for this myself though.
Ha ha, the problem is that perps have no insurance, and victims are driving around with 30k/15k caps, not too much documentation.
It wasn’t “dealing with ambiguity”???
Isn't this JSON-RPC's approach?
If you went by many of the media though, you would assume the numbers were the other way around.
Then say source available, not open source, because the latter connotes the freedoms as mentioned in the OSI definition, for most people who use that phrase.
You work on what you think is the most important, and then you choose a closest ticket # to put into pull request description. If there is no ticket close enough, then you make one first.

Some companies like to micromanage and rob engineers from any sort of autonomy: they have non-engineers make tickets, and those tickets are very small, and they are assigned them without engineer's inputs, and managers carefully monitor that engineers only work on assigned tickets. If that's your case, then I am sorry. Also, it is not not a "senior engineers" position, even if your business card says otherwise. If you are interested in becoming a better engineers, consider a different, less disfunctional, workplace.
This is fun, but from what I understood, the purpose of those random sms is to "warm up the number", so the best course of action is to either ignore them or reply STOP.

As someone who's sat on both sides of the table, getting tickets done is incredibly valuable. I don't really think an engineer is worth their salt if they can't do this. However, there's a transition that needs to happen when they hit mid-level where they need to be able to synthesize what the ticket is asking for and implement the right thing. No ticket or product manager is perfect, and awareness is often times a better driver of performance because certain tickets aren't done or are changed due to an engineer's competence.

From the flip side, management is looking at industry trends that the engineer simply doesn't see. It may be the current market is getting saturated with your product and the company really needs to pivot to remain competitive. No amount of further feature work or bug fixing will "fix" the market position. You have to do something different or you will lose sales. While fixing the existing product may make the existing customer happy, it won't continue to drive new revenue.

The only way to really make the two sides happy is to have a level of trust/communication that is rare. What engineer doesn't like to complain about management that keeps changing their mind? What manager doesn't like to complain about engineers that are out of touch with reality? Given this audience, I would say that if you're an engineer, there's an order to the skills: crush tickets, gain awareness of the product so you can do the "right" stuff, then solve your manager's market problems (not the product's).
And you think they throw in $500B because they are altruistic?
I know AI means a lot of “content” on the internet will become trash, but how specifically do you think AI will be used to control people, aside from deepfakes?

I think the internet was great initially for countering this 1984ness, but everyone joining and advocates for censorship have undone that in some ways. People get lost in the distraction of the internet. My hope is that eventually some portion of young people will turn away from social media and organize outside of that space.
I wasn't able to tell from skimming the repo, but have you considered adding a pseudorandom sleep? Might cost some more CPU cycles depending on how it's implemented, but would probably be more human-like than always responding in under minute
Can't speak for the industry at large, but streaming ruined music for me. I think it has to do with how different brains are wired.

Organization on song within album within artist within genre helped me remember and relate to it. I felt like I was in conversation with the artists.

On the other hand, streaming is snippets without context, like a book composed of the most popular paragraphs from 1000s of authors.

I guess for me, being able engage with my personal library or playlists was irreplaceable.

I’m a big NIN fan and they have had great physical releases since the beginning - remix albums, singles, eps, vinyl, CD, SACD, DVD-A, blu-ray, etc., etc. each release has a halo, sigil, or null identifier designating its order.

Now there are releases that are digital only. It’s really odd. A huge part of the experience was the packaging and visual artwork and now that’s mostly gone.
Perhaps not in the strict legal way[1], but if you say "I'm going to do X" as a government then you kind of have an obligation to actually do X unless there's a really good reason not so, because people's livelihoods depend on it.

This includes actions taken by a previous government: generally successive governments fulfil the obligations of the previous ones, even those it disagrees with. That's the only way you can run a reasonable long-term stable and reliable government.

Of course a new government can change things, but this is often a long process which also includes meeting previous obligations.

[1]: Or maybe it does, I don't know. I wouldn't assume anything from the person trying to abolish citizenship birthright in a way that's clearly and obviously unconstitutional.
I think we’re just splitting hairs over what “project” means.

But even so, many web projects are as easy as `npx create-next-app` and you have a solid foundation.

It’s much harder to start working on an existing codebase.

> you just write code that resembles existing code.

This is so incredibly wrong.

Every line of code you write as an IC on an existing project should take into consideration the existing code, the teams patterns and code style, and the reasoning behind existing systems.

The choices that were made that you’re unaware of makes it much harder to write any code, let alone code that also resembles existing code.

Decisions don’t require skill, necessarily. Anyone can just choose a web framework or a database.

Working within the restrictions of an existing system has a much higher skill floor.
I think it's one of the prime causes of burnout. Feeling like you have no real control over things, but having immense responsibility anyway. Fighting learned helplessness with an internal taskmaster.

No worries, I know I am hard to follow.

Anyway, I think you are absolutely correct. Honestly, what you wrote is an apt description of me. I am in my early 30s, thus all I can truly write about is what I have experienced in my generation.

I feel like I was raised to treat life in an algorithmic sense. If one wants a good life, then as long as he or she follows the given path, then happiness awaits. You know -- be a good person, stay in school, don't do drugs, don't get in trouble, work hard, go to college, get a good job, find a partner and settle down, etc..

Any deviation from the plan was more or less a death sentence -- get in trouble? Congratulations, you threw your life away. Bad grades => no college => "put the fries in the bag."

Obviously, we were somewhat encouraged to follow our dreams. Want to be a rockstar or a professional athlete? Great, but make sure you still stick to the path because if/when your dream likely fails, then at least you have something to fall back on.

So, what did I do? I followed the path the best I could have at the time. What were my results? Well, I make more money the median household income in the US, still technically under six-figures, but I work in the public sector (gov), so it's not the best place for high compensation. What else do I have? Well, I have a romantic relationship with a longterm girlfriend that is kind in a rough patch that we will hopefully work through, I have virtually no friends, no hobbies, no goals, no ambitions, I take "medication" during the day and use cannabis at night to offset the medication's effects just so I am semi-functional enough to work a job that I have grown to hate with every fiber of my being.

So yeah, I did not think my life would end up this way. I suppose I theoretically have to powers to change it, but what do I change it to? I have no idea what I want, I do not know what will make me happy, and I am afraid of whatever changes I make will lead to the same dissatisfying results. So, I am basically just living my life one day at a time until I meet my end.

Does any of that make any sense?
They probably follow accounting rules to the letter.
