Read this article with a grain of salt since many people nowadays live in their own bubble.

I heard from many people that at their company, product managers and designers are forced to create at least 3 PRs per week. Initially they started as changing small things but nowadays they implement a whole feature.

Also, interestingly the article doesn’t mention that many companies are now token ranking their employees and creating leaderboards to fire them easily.

This is the reason why I stopped following Gergely. Before he started to get many sponsors, he was talking about the problems that developers are having. Nowadays he became a PR machine for the big tech and startups.

The comments here are just another reminder of how US-centric HN has become. Whenever there's positive news from Germany or elsewhere in Europe, people are quick to dismiss it. But the moment there's negative news, everyone jumps on the bandwagon to bash it.

Unless you offer them a promotion ;)

Right now I’m reading Biological War. Before this one I finished reading:

- The Left Hand of Darkness

- The Nerd Reich

- What Happened to Liberal Democracy?

I don’t know why we see Omarchy almost every day on the front page. Do people really want to use a distro from a white supremacist?

The video referenced in the article contains nothing new; those things have existed for nearly two decades. People simply create similar videos to boost engagement and it seems they're quite successful at it.

It's actually quite the opposite. It became easier to create apps for Apple platforms, Apple also reduced the commission to 15% for small businesses.

Since when do people in Silicon Valley work for a mission?

There is cash back. When I bought my contract, I got 250€ + 90€ cash back in total after paying the first invoice.

That doesn't change the fact that the prices didn't change for the companies therefore OP's argument about this hurt the companies doesn't have any basis.

I'm a consumer in Germany, and I pay 250€ for 1.200 kWh (my yearly consumption). I don't know anyone who is paying those high prices mentioned in the articles. There are many electricity providers in Germany, and that creates competition; therefore, you get a lot of cash back by switching providers.

The electricity prices for the industry are around the same since 2014: https://www.bdew.de/service/daten-und-grafiken/bdew-strompre...

How can a country be democratic with only two parties?

Expect entshittification of Airtable after the acquisition.

They also constantly criticise Germany and its nuclear power plant closures, linking almost every negative news story about the country to this issue. It seems they’re completely unaware of the potential consequences of operating a nuclear power plant.
