I got a pixel 10 for 350 a few weeks ago.

That seems like a lot of effort to go through

Plumbers build all the pipes, but one of the aforementioned professional engineers created a drawing of where they would go and how the water and sewage would move through the building.

You may as well just randomly pick 65 to discard, if your only goal is to reduce the number for review.

Gold is shiny and can make nice jewelry and other things shiny.

Crypto has been the bad place for almost 10 years. It lost it's shot at being mainstream when Steam stopped accepting Bitcoin payments due to price instability.

At some point I just work here man, and my job is to do whatever dumb shit management wants me to do this quarter, no matter how dumb it is.

You could just as easily edit it, print it, then scan it again. This tech doesn't enable you to do anything you couldn't already do.

The real problem is that written signatures are a poor form of authentication.

Seeing what you made get to the point that that's an issue is a "a good problem". Yes, it's worth it to optimize at that point, but that's still an argument for what I consider premature optimization.

As someone that's a senior at a large corp, I absolutely do not want someone making the codebase more complex with the only benefit being being that it's now barely measurably faster. Especially when there are probably better things to be spending time on (spoiler, there are). Unless you're knocking like 20% off a very impactful metric, or addressing a looming scaling probably, go find something better to do than making tiny algorithm optimizations.

It's still about getting users even if you're not charging money for it. If you want to make an open source thing and don't care about getting users then that's great for you I guess? And there's a good chance it'll stay that way unless you put at least some effort into getting them (eg even putting effort into a readme counts).

You think they wouldn't use every tool available to then, including the census data?

The barrow wights and old man willow are kind of cool.

After decades of infamous quality drops that have impacted their reputation and finally bottom line under non technical CEOs.

> this guy puts this everywhere, gives me probably the inverse of what he is marketing for.

Do you think he's in mensa too?

I'm not a writer but I like the more granular ones better

There is no case in which they wouldn't say they're growing the team. It would also be true in all cases

The real safety move is to not put yourself in situations where you're going to collide with the least dangerous class of commuters.

I suppose you feel similarly about the dangers bikes pose to cars?

Literally just looks like some trash sitting on their desk. Well done if that's the goal?

The two about death are the only ones that matter. You also get a huge pass on a lot of social expectations for being a foreigner, especially if you make even a small attempt to conform and be polite.

It's not extra scrutiny. Doing code reviews for every commit is a standard practice at Amazon and has been for a decade plus.

Oddly enough it's not the first time I've seen their perceived recent drop in quality blamed on this. Just weird that it's happened twice - wonder where this narrative is coming from.

I'm a senior dev and not sure I could answer that offhand.
