Also PRISM. Maybe the third—wait, wrong side of the array—worst.

I like draw.io for process diagrams.

Because starting with ‘X’ does not guarantee the ‘sh’ sound. See ‘xylophone’, ‘Xavier’, ‘Xenon’.

Xitter looks like ‘exiter’ to me.

A true Debian user would never tell us that they use Debian. They would say they use Debian Testing’. BTW.

Fungi are pretty awesome. We can decompose plastic with them. Engage in inter dimensional astral travel with them. And have a nice trip by a campfire without ever leaving the chair.

Wednesdays and Fridays then.

His newest social media venture is focused on a niche of extreme exploration, named the Xtreme Network for Xtraordinary Xploration. You can find it at xnxx.com.

Antiestablishmentarianism is a lonely road.

I’ve worked for startups too; everyone does everything all at the same time! Let the chaos reign! But it is fun in its own way.

I work for a large company now after the startup I worked for was acquired. Hierarchy, bureaucracy, layers, we’ve got it all. For worse and for better though, it allows me to focus and specialize on what I’m awesome at and furgeddaboddit (ahem! delegate) the stuff that I suck at to those who excel at those tasks.

No, this is incompetent management.

Senior engineers write enabling code/scaffolding, and review code, and mentor juniors. They also write feature code.

Lead engineers code and lead dev teams.

Principal engineers code, and talk about tech in meetings.

Senior Principal engineers, and distinguished technologists/fellows talk about tech, and maybe sometimes code.

Good managers go to meetings and shield the engineers from the stream of exec corporate bs. Infrequently they may rope any of the engineers in this chain in to explain the decisions that the engineers make along the way.

Bad managers bring engineers in to these meetings frequently.

Terrible managers make the engineering decisions and push those to the engineers.

Agreed.

It’s not a fair comparison then is it? $80/hr is an expensive but not outrageously so handyman, plus they have their own tools to purchase and maintain and other business operating overhead (fuel and transportation maintenance) etc.

DIY—if you’re able—is always less expensive.

It’s a for-profit service that people use to rent-out, and rent-in their tools. Not a true library so to speak but seeks to accomplish the same. Except that people charging $20/day to rent their battery-powered Ryobi drill is absurd.

There is a “tool library” sort of service (for profit) operating in my area. The prices are absurd—people are charging like $20/day for a tool that would cost $100 new, or half that used on craigslist. My projects often span multiple days, especially if there’s an unforeseen delay—which there always is because I’m a good engineer but a shitty carpenter.

I don’t use the service. I’m all for communal ownership but it still has to make sense.

Just layoff the entire radio team and the Chief Communications Officer. That’ll teach them to fuck with the Chief Head Honcho.

Fertilize the tree of freedom.
