All these fuckers are our neighbors and for many of us former employers.

We know exactly how they think, and what they think of us.

Andreesen is the tip of the iceberg.

Your experience was the opposite of mine, no kissing taking place at all, just pure focus on the johnson.

I found that keeping up with people over video works better when you’re in the same time zone. When I was managing teams at +8 hours and -12.5 relative hours, communication and trust just weakened steadily over time and creative collaboration stalled. Spending a week there in person usually got things unstuck.

I know people on split engineering teams between LA and Seattle who prefer all virtual and it’s worked long term. LA to NY I think would be a heavier lift.

And, of course, this whole discussion is always dominated by software engineers; there are lots of jobs that involve actual manipulation of matter where in person collaboration is essential to communicate skills.

the executives locked themselves into expensive long term leases for their offices and don’t want to feel embarrassed that it’s a wasted cost.

This is exactly what happened at Alphabet.

Yeah the US has been far far more outspoken about defending Taiwan than Ukraine.

My thoughts exactly. I was like “wait, this is not a trans meme?”

A lot of them (Alphabet in particular) overinvested in commercial real estate and are now sitting on a huge sunk cost.

I feel like it fell into the same trap as W&G; exactly like she described, her gay best friend disappears from the narrative as soon as he’s not immediately needed, and in the end it’s about her needs and her growth.

So her friend was closeted in 2009 and has a master’s degree. That’s all we know! Is his boyfriend like her? Not like her? How did he feel about their period living in separate cities? Is he happier now?

The reader is presumed not to care, the story is about the woman, and he’s a prop.

Using the right tool for the right task is a big part of being a good engineer.

Christianity gives them the right.

In their minds anyway.

I mean they’re also the group that features the ringleaders of the worst shit happening.
