Monday stand-ups are the worst

Time to change your name from Patel to Smith

The rich don’t care. They only want people to have kids insofar as to depress the value of labor relative to assets. Once the automation of lower skill services are complete, they will happily give every poor as many vasectomies and abortions they want.

It’s Celestial, so sayeth Steve

Ah got it.

How does that incentivizes workforce participation? You’re giving them money to not work, I think graduated taxes should just not have the NIT portion.

What’s wrong with slack?

So poor mans bolognese. I remember reading when you heat up ketchup it denatures (probably not the right word but opposite of caramelize) and loses its sweetness and becomes pasta sauce.

The “anonymous” survey asked this question with two choices: I agree or I’m looking for opportunities elsewhere

Nobody is saying what they are doing is illegal. And complaining is what people do to vent, you don’t have to read it.

It’s seems par the course for Amazon to just treat employees as disposable, and they’ve burned so many regions’ working populations’ proverbial bridges that I recall LTT highlighting an article saying Amazon can’t find people to employ because they’ve already cycled through everyone.

Anecdotally, I’m suddenly getting recruiters from AWS asking to interview me, and it all makes sense now. They want to replace the remote workers with new people who don’t complain. Fuck that, and fuck them if they think people should be apathetic to this strategy.

Senpai is kawaii

I tried to yea

That would piss off the voting base that actually votes though

Probably the same people who use git cli instead of ide plugin equivalents

Well, don’t think their IT positions are competitive when it comes to salaries, compared to major tech companies. Also considering their offices are in Vancouver, you probably aren’t going to work their to make bank.

It’s a bit of a selection bias out of necessity…

Well run cost center departments don’t boost quarterly results, ergo they are deprioritized.

They are looking out for themselves rather then the company, because of the incentives in place.

We are living in weird times where stock price doesn’t really correspond with company health, so their actions reflect against that metric against all others.

Let it be known that heat death is not the last event in the universe

They make birth control monitors and they’ve been producing a lot of false positives.

Depends on your issues. If its something esoteric and/or too high level to be useful, yea it sucks. If its issues that are easily reproducible but you can’t address it immediately, adding it to the backlog and having that context in jira really helps. That’s all predicated on the story reporter providing steps to reproduce and good context. But there are some things I would consider it adds which are less than useful, like story points, where its almost bait how it starts a conversations with PMs who don’t know how to ask the right questions over why is it too high or low…
