nodejs_rulez_1··on Ask HN: Is the Great Resignation in tech real? If so, why?
> We lost a junior employee to a company paying

Competition - simply beautiful!

nodejs_rulez_1··on Ask HN: Is the Great Resignation in tech real? If so, why?
I think the OPs point was that the past employer effectively leveraged the social aspect to underpay. Now that there is a hobby outside of work, the latter is suddenly not a center of life anymore. The pay raise is the ironic reality of employers catching up with the real cost of labour.

Rider is a non-starter - doesn't even have a community edition.

Man, I don't know, if you need some binary trees inverted on a whiteboard, they are still the go-to folks.

Good to see this creaking 30 years old language still going!

My CPU has a special feature where I will not be bugged with prompts to update to Windows 11.

Exactly, yet here we are.
nodejs_rulez_1··on Steam bans all blockchain and NFT games on its platform
Yeah, WASM and WebGL could use a fresh boost like that. Once they get proven in games we can finally start getting rid of legacy stuff like HTML, CSS, JS and start innovating again.

I see the insanity of replacing forums with discord is really catching on now. Maybe people do want to be constantly distracted and unable to search for organised information?
nodejs_rulez_1··on Tech compensation in 2021
A good question for CEOs, board members and investors to answer, perhaps? They should be pursuing passion, not money!
nodejs_rulez_1··on Magpie Driven Development (MDD)
It's OK.

> Not every developer in an organization is going to want to change languages and ecosystems every Tuesday.

Not every developer wants to work with whatever Linus, Netflix and other Googles have concocted for their unique reasons yet here we are.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Magpie Driven Development (MDD)
Because you want people to care about business same way as the owners do, yet when the firing starts they will simply be let go.

Another option is to openly state during hiring that new technologies and approaches are not welcome.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Magpie Driven Development (MDD)
Another one of those articles...

Please tell us how you incentivise your staff to deprioritise their skill growth in favour of your business? I hope to hear things other than "salary, benefits and bonus" but they have to be monetary.

nodejs_rulez_1··on AWS Lambda Cold Start Times
I am not surprised that a re-purposed browser engine sucks for back-end.

> ...Sure kind of defeats the purpose of serverless but hey, enterprise software.

No, no, no. It's "hey, Amazon/Microsoft cloud engineering". They should be amazing with whiteboard interview exercises though.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Nobel Prize: We will not have gender or ethnicity quotas – top scientist
> ...add women who may not otherwise qualify...

This will and already is undermining credibility of women who got into science through their own merit.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Windows Package Manager 1.1
Extinguishing something that has a zero competitive threat? Now that would be evil!

I think open-source community needs to decide whether their stuff comes with strings attached or not and use appropriate licences.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Steve Jobs tried to convince Dell to license Mac software
Let's not pretend that a sizable bunch of devs did not install Win 10 on their Intel macbooks. Apple was quite good at hardware at the time.

> playing a game of catch-up with Google

It's not like something came out of Google recently. If anything, Google is desperately trying to catch-up with Amazon and Microsoft in cloud and Apple in consumer etc. They are entering a long path of gradual decline.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Nearly 40% of adults from 25-54 are unpartnered [Pew Research]
> In a 2017 Pew Research Center survey, 71% of U.S. adults said being able to support a family financially is very important for a man to be a good spouse or partner.

Sad to see this harmful stereotype still being perpetuated. Men need to be empowered to be stay-at-home spouses. Being a dad is a fulltime job.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Twitch source code and customer data has reportedly been leaked
Woodworking will leave you with skills, experience and a wider physical social circle at best or re-sellable tools and a story to tell at worst.

Simping is more like an alcohol consumption - damaging and the first step is acknowledging a problem exists, often through an intervention.

nodejs_rulez_1··on Twitch source code and customer data has reportedly been leaked
It would be good to have a streaming service where simps could be called out as such.

Maybe someone younger? I have heard that young people "are just smarter".

I don't think the struggle is there as the salaries did not start growing yet.

> First of all, working in tech in the UK you can make $130,000 which is 3-4x the median annual salary.

That's not a common compensation at all. I think USA gives way more choices, at the very least finance, big tech and start-ups (that actually offer noticeable equity, unlike UK).

nodejs_rulez_1··on Every engineer should do a stint in consulting
Perhaps that was an advice for a different time and for a specific audience (MIT graduates can expect favouritism). Cannot see how spending a few years developing a tiny slice of some UI at Apple 2021 would make your experience "three-dimensional".
nodejs_rulez_1··on Ledger of Harms
There should be something more specific about Tinder there. Cannot see how two-parent family units will not decline even further over the next few decades (not the only factor there of course but asking for government hand-outs is not the solution either).
nodejs_rulez_1··on Facebook knows Instagram is toxic for teen girls, company documents show
More to do with sexual liberation than Facebook to be honest.
