I think you’re also being unfair to tech workers lol. At least you acknowledge you’re wrong. Next step is addressing it.

In what sense are minivans “better” than SUVs such that this question is relevant? I could imagine some have lower bumper heights (safer for pedestrians) but they’re definitely getting higher. One imagines they are broadly comparable in terms of weight.

(Personally I find minivans have more utility, but I don’t feel like I’m doing something “right” by owning one instead of an SUV).

Sure but everything being discussed presupposes you don’t hate your job.

> And you'll almost never meet ICs again, so why are you bothering to 'leaving on good terms'. Its a fantasy. Grab names and emails on the way out, though, might be handy.

If you only want to be an IC forever sure who cares?

If you want to found a company/lead teams, those people are the network you’ll bring to your next gig. Why fuck them over?

This comment section is nuts. Obviously don’t jeopardize an offer by trying to push your exit back. Duh.

But if you are already quitting, and you’re not immediately starting another job, why not extend your departure date? Best case they send you home day 1 but respect your effective date. Worst case they send you home day 1 and stop paying you immediately. So if you push it out maybe you get a few extra paychecks. And if not, hey, you were already quitting. Who cares?

Eh, you are always at risk of being fired, too. You’d have to have some kind of data to make the claim that this risk is more meaningful than the 1000 other risks you take every day.

Otherwise you’re just accepting status quo risks blindly, and thereby letting the mob make decisions for you. That seems risky.

It seems potentially bad if Google, without any possible consequence, can make money by linking to international content which you can’t ever hope to successfully affect or address.

You should assume everything posted on the internet has an ulterior motive. Relying on disclosures simply allows actual bad actors to avoid scrutiny.

(And no one cares that you used to work at Microsoft or whatever).

This is literally the point of the comment.

To a layperson not familiar with this approach to measuring infinities, all of the examples are “correct”.

To a mathematician that hasn’t heard of uncountability, all are “incorrect”. (And learning the last is actually “correct” is surprising).

I asked it how to scroll to an element taking into account a fixed header. It helpfully described the `offsetTop` parameter to `Element.scrollIntoView`. Only problem is, that parameter doesn’t exist.
