It sounds like you've been hurt by the some terrible management practices, I'm truly sorry that some managers think their job is to control their subordinates.

However, regarding ticketing systems, in team environments, it is very effective and helpful to have a system that manages the data about the work that has been completed, is being worked, and is planned to be worked on .

Part of that system might be defining restrictive workflows for some teams, not for control, but to ensure the agreed upon process is followed for quality or consistency.

One of the many problems Jira has is that if you don't have a Jira admin on your team, it's impossible to build an effective and efficient workflow for your team. Coupled with Jira making many things global by default (it takes a lot of care to make a change that only affects specific Jira projects) most configurations end up being a pile of garbage automatically inherited from changes an admin(that is not part of the team) made when intending to change something for another specific team.

Why did you start the company in the first place?

If you wanted autonomy, consider that you'll completely lose it by selling (regardless of promises made).

If it were me, I'd look to hire an executive, maybe someone late in their career who could bring in the roles to handle the work you don't care about (running the company). If you found someone in early retirement they may be willing to work for equity and only X hours per week, which would free budget to hire other roles (HR/bookkeeping, marketing, etc). It'd require finding good people that are willing to wear multiple hats, but the right executive might already have great connections.

What I'm learning from this is that anything Jeff Bezos has his hand in is litigious. Amazon did the same thing with the JEDI contract for federal government cloud hosting when they lost the bid.

I'm sure it'd be cheaper for Disney to rent devices locked to their app for a day than pay for these line proctors and the person that's still taking the orders.

I don't know the stats behind it, but I've heard from news that those with the vaccine do still host the virus when exposed and even continue to pass it along (although they experience lesser/no symptoms).

If vaccinated people do become infected at the same or similar rate to unvaccinated (and a whole lot of other assumptions), it almost seems like there is a scenario where the vaccine could be worse than the virus because we're essentially creating many Typhoid Marys that continue to host and spread the virus unaware that they're contagious, giving the virus a massive pool to mutate within.

Definitely can agree with the sentiment. I've done frontend dev since '97 and have multiple times skipped a year or two without staying up-to-date with the current browser/development trends without issue.

It's generally pretty trivial to keep up and maintain usefulness by focusing on the fundamentals (I completely skipped the DHTML fad for example -- lots of widgets you could throw into your page that animated around) and instead picked up JS DOM API and CSS once browser support stabilized a bit.

Just a note, when I visited the page there's a small bio intro on the post that introduces Rach as a woman.

It seems like it'd be incredibly difficult to obtain accurate data through a mass survey. I know in work places "anonymous" surveys are often given where employees know/think the data is not truly anonymous and as such do not provide honest input.

I'd imagine this survey could be impacted similarly, either by underreporting because of shame/fear or falsely reporting in an attempt to get their detainers in trouble.

I think it was a joke, I actually thought it was pretty funny

The lag around the Britain bank when busy (even sometimes Moonglow bank) made it nearly unplayable though, and the game was only 2D.

> ...but its going to be phased out of software support before its time, just like the Motorolla.

This is precisely why I as a consumer do not buy Apple products. Apple has a long history of dropping product support with no upgradeable path forward, only buying new hardware.

This is also, in my speculation, the reason Apple is one of the most valuable companies on the planet, even though they are primarily a consumer products company. There's a constant internal urge for the newest shiniest product (which consumers of all products feel), but also the very real external requirement to buy new if you want to work with anything new.

My best anecdotal experience for this was when my uncle contacted me because his wife bought him an iPod Touch, but his Mac was telling him he needed a newer version of iTunes (I believe he bought the Mac 4 years prior). It turned out however that the new version of iTunes couldn't be installed on his "outdated" Mac because it was bundled with an OS update that his machine was too old to receive. I meanwhile was able to load iTunes under Windows on a machine twice the age of his Mac and connect the Touch without issue. He didn't want a new Mac, didn't need a new Mac, but chose to buy a new one to work with the rest of his ecosystem.

Sorry, rereading my post doesn't really make the dynamic clear and I'm not sure I could do it justice without having a dialog, but I'll attempt it.

First, neither of us make purchasing nor time commitment decisions without checking with each other, my last comment made it appear there's a large imbalance in the relationship with her making all decisions.

Our natural dynamics are that I operate on a system of respect, and she operates on a system of love. Yet the Bible calls us to do the opposite, I am to act in love, and she in respect (basically showing each other care in the way we best receive it).

Earlier in our marriage, I was really bad at showing her love as she received it (acts of service and giving her verbal feedback to her opinions and thoughts --- sometimes I still fail, but I get better as we grow). She was bad at showing respect (when she didn't feel loved/heard she would yell).

Regarding her choosing to submit, it's a motivation/outlook more than anything. When we are discussing a decision, she most always asks what I think we should do first. She will then give her thoughts on the topic and then leaves the decision up to me. There have of course been times where I end up making decisions that don't end up being the best in hindsight, but she never comes back and throws it in my face, because she chose to submit to my decision.

Since it's easy to say something that is misconstrued in text, I do want to be clear I never lord over my wife. I never demand that she submit to me, she chooses to do that on her own.

Hopefully that helps a little, I'm sure it's still probably unclear, my mom (who is quite left leaning and a feminist) doesn't grasp the Biblical concept of submission (thinking it means being weak and timid) and doesn't feel women should submit. Although she admires my wife's and my relationship, even though it differs from her views and has zero concern that both my daughters are raised in a household where the wife submits because the leadership is carried out with love and patience.

I'm one of the fundamentalists everyone here seems to hate. My wife is a very strong willed person and she does submit to my decisions (never because I ask or demand it) but because we see Christ submit to the will of the father. Just as I submit to Christ.

For clarity, I in no way rule over my wife, and am in no way of more value than her. The Bible makes it clear that all people are of the utmost value because they are made in the image of God.

For additional context, yes my wife submits to me, but I make no decisions without her consent. I don't even buy a $5 item off Amazon without talking to her. My Biblical role is to serve my wife and family which I'm thrilled to do each day, just as we see Jesus serve his disciples when he washes their feet.

What I'm trying to get to is that please do not mistake a fundamental view of the Bible as misogyny. Any teaching or text can be cherry picked without context to make any view look evil and cruel.

The most dangerous blindspots for me is the front columns to the side of the windshield. Surprisingly my small-ish Mazda CX-5 has much worse visibility in these blindspots than my Ram 1500 (because they are closer to my face in the Mazda, blocking a larger field of view). Old vehicles didn't have this same danger because we didn't shove airbags into them.

I've never needed to do more than a 3 point turn in my truck. Being aware of exactly how far the front and rear bumpers are is incredibly important for not having to do a bunch of back and forths - which modern sensors make a breeze.

The reason the turning radius is relatively terrible is because the axels are so far apart (good weight distribution).

Pondered, I have no idea what you're alluding to.

1000% this. Bill stuffing is a gross abuse of power and one of the worst forms of cronyism and manipulation.

It makes me want to run for president with the promise that I'd veto any bill that touches more than one topic to force Congress to either solve specific needs or to force them to come together to obtain a veto-proof majority.

The system where prisoners have all of their needs met (health care, dietary needs, etc) isn't sustainable. The Californian solution to this has been to release prisoners, rather than cut off these perks that many contributing members of society don't have access to.

Since fraud is a "non-violent crime." Politicians/judges in California have made the punishment of these types of crimes absurdly lax, often with early release or little-to-no time served.

With the premier non-partisan person at the peak of governmental leadership on the subject, Dr. Fauci, proved his own hypocrisy by not wearing a mask shoulder to shoulder with an elderly friend in a public setting — it seems absurd to take jabs at other leadership.

My wife and I personally did this. I took 6 years, she took 8 (we had a baby and she got a teaching credential, which is why hers took longer).

Graduated without any debt, but it was rediculously hard, especially in years 4-5.5 when I lost my job (2008 recession) and survived solely off rice, turkey hotdogs, and whitebread (leaving barely enough to cover diapers/medical.

I've found that flowcharts are enormously helpful for software design and communicating the design decided upon. Maybe in your role you don't have a need to communicate how software should be written?

Definitely stick out the degree. I was once in a similar situation.

By the time I started college I had already been programming for 6 years. I was self-taught and worked full-time (60+ hrs) as a programmer while pursuing my degree (accounting information systems because I wanted to understand the underbelly of business and I was arrogant enough to think CS wouldn't teach me anything).

While everywhere I've worked, I've been promoted and identified as a high performer, I still lack many CS aspects I wish I had gotten with a CS degree. I've even thought heavily about going back for a MS in CS, but the opportunity cost is very high for me at this point.

Based on my experiences (both good and bad) the one thing I would have changed would be to go back, set my ego aside and try to learn everything I could in the CS degree. Knowing it's not about the coding, but rather the deep and wide CS concepts I was to learn.

I'm missing something here. Fragments (everything from #to-the-end-of-url) are never sent as part of the request to the server.

As a developer, I can't even know if a user has a fragment server side. Instead, I'm forced to use JavaScript to read it.

Chromium based browsers use Blink not WebKit. That's why Safari has all sorts of edge case issues, effectively making it the new IE.

Absolutely possible/true. As the kids age and mature and repeatedly demonstrate good judgement they earn more freedom. At this point any data they produce is pretty benign/useless so it's not something I'm terribly concerned with.

11 and 6yo kids here.

In Android: We use Family Link to approve apps installation and set app time limits per day. No social/user generated content apps. 11yo has access to Edge browser (more on that in Windows).

In Windows: We use Microsoft Family to monitor screen time/usage. We also whitelist webpages that can be visited through Edge (settings translate to Android's Edge).

We only just got a SIM card for our 11yo (so we and family can communicate with her), we closely monitor usage and gave strict guidelines about not answering calls/texts from numbers not in the contact list.

I get that Commons Clause isn't "open source" but I really love the concept. If a company wishes to productize a creator's work it seems reasonable to pay the creator to alternatively license it (if the company doesn't want to put their secrets out to the public).

Meanwhile the creator gets to share their work freely with anyone who wishes to use it as a component of their own product/software in the spirit of open source.

Additionally, businesses learn after being burned a few times that throwing distant resources at software problems tends to make a bigger mess than they started with (no matter how good their PM may be). Often one good developer embedded within a domain in a company is worth more than an entire outsourced team.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but it's what I've anecdotally observed over my career to date.

We should have all collaborated to sign up for the monitoring and let them charge the cards, then all simultaneously issue chargebacks when the first charge hit to wreck their ability to accept credit cards and destroy their business.

Anecdotally, I often (during evening/side projects) work with a TV on in the room.

However a TV is entirely different than people being around me. There's noise from various directions, distances, and volumes—not to mention the awareness of people being near which always heightens my awareness of a situation, distracting from what I am trying to focus on.

It's a day one launch of a huge product. I'd imagine they chose a Tuesday release so that they could have time to understand their own scaling issues before the weekend, a freak cold front seemed to sabotage that grace period and yet they responded well.

Disclosure, I'm a software engineer. I also own Disney stock. No insider information, just how I'd have planned a huge release like this.
