labor is being abused by the capitalists - isn't it perfect that labor can be replaced by robots instead of being abused by the capitalists?

SF is 6.9 per 100K -> pretty high... higher than any city in Europe or Asia not currently with an active war... (On those continents, only Ukraine, Iraq, and Afghanistan are more dangerous than SF)

Re:What I learned at Gitlab that I don't want to forget on Monday December 12, 2022 @10:07PM (#33964235)
it seems like an easy way to create ambiguous bias to fire someone who is in the grey area before the Ritz Carlton. (i.e., I stayed at Motel 6, and this other person who I also hate stayed at the Holiday Inn - lets get rid of them)
Re:Staff Engineer Archetypes (2020) on Thursday October 06, 2022 @06:18PM (#33114850)
AMD and Intel and old semiconductor companies have always had titles like - "Engineer 1" "Engineer 2" "Senior Engineer" and then -> "Member of Technical Staff" above that. (Search MTS, SMTS, PMTS etc. on LinkedIn to see a million of them)

talking about the US?
with Django (or other heavy opinionated frameworks targeting a CMS system), this seems like a ~3 hour project for a basic CMS.

We did cause 1M deaths.... and our troops are still in Iraq.... you should be protesting Biden for maintaining the troops there still just as hard as Russia, and boycotting products sold by the US.
monorepo until it becomes too big -> then, splitting it into 2-3 repos, until each one also gets too big to manage...

Re:‘Biodegradable’ drinking straws contain PFAS on Monday May 02, 2022 @09:08PM (#31243103)
the waxes we should be using are the ones from plants and animals, and they degrade like any other organic compounds. paraffin wax is the petroleum derived ones - and yeah - we should try to ban those.
Iraq was still an illegal war where fake intel was used on purpose by leadership to mislead people.

I know someone who became mentally ill when the bootcamp switched from in-person to remote and had enough stress to develop schizophrenia from the stresses of trying to apply for jobs remotely and alone in 2020.
Re:We lost 54k GitHub stars on Friday April 15, 2022 @02:32AM (#31037160)
just do soft deletes that can be undone... seems so easy..
isn't that already the case for all grades? and all extracurriculars? (i.e., picking teams that allow anyone to join, or giving students who couldn't make the cut a pity position on a team such as `team manager` so they can add it to their college application?)
and Iraq? And the United States?
Re:Arm to drop up to 15 percent of staff, about 1k people on Tuesday March 15, 2022 @07:12PM (#30693185)

thats how you get PIPed

unions protection are required when there is no major difference between workers, and thus, little job protection. SWE is not an industry where workers are interchangeable, and thus, need a union

Re:Amazon more than doubles max base pay to $350k on Monday February 07, 2022 @08:36PM (#30253957)
sounds like Apple!
Seems like this will cause unnecessary discord. But, overall, I'm happy for things to become more competitive - I do think we should have national lists that can be searched for how well you scored on the SATs and your high school GPA etc., all stack ranked against each other.

the US was built on the back of slaves and continues to be run on stolen land. How is doing business with any American business any different?
