He also managed to wriggle away from multiple rape charges in Sweden by waiting out the statute of limitations.

Heroes and villains alike have complex legacies.

The fact that this news follows layoffs may not be a coincidence.

12 year SDE + 12 year TPM vet here.

Do everything you can to help your software engineers (or whoever is doing the work) have as much focus time as they need. Buffer your meetings and questions to one chunk of time per day. Encourage them to block-out and protect their focus time. And encourage the team to keep office hours so they can still make themselves available to others, but in a controlled way.

Be transparent with the business’s goals and frustrations you are facing. There’s an attitude (often among inexperienced devs) that PMs are good for nothing; just an interface to the rest of the business, and a source of where tasks come from. And some certainly are that, but a good PM is worth their weight in gold.

Find a good mentor, and start thinking about your next career step now.

I’m genuinely disappointed that Asbestos Cafe is basically forbidden now. That’d be a solid name for a hardcore alcoholic vegan bar.

The web version of themoviedb.org has been my go-to for a while now. No app though.

I worked for Akamai for 7 years.

This is why, if your CDN infra is core to the operation of your business, you make your systems accommodate multi-CDN integration. Cutting one CDN off shouldn’t be significantly difficult, and it comes in handy during contract negotiations. All the major players work this way.

That sucks too – but do stick with it, find a good consultant who can help you polish up your resume and socials. You and me both will find something soon enough. :)

Yeah, tech. Updated my original comment to clarify.

Honestly, the bit from the article that rang most accurate was this:

Lastly, it’s possible that many Americans think the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s job opening figures are overstated. For example, some job seekers have reported encountering “ghost jobs” — listings on job platforms that companies are no longer actively hiring for.

I’ve been keeping track of the roles I’ve gone after (well within qualification for) and I’m seeing a lot of re-listings for roles that closed out my application (with no outreach) and just relisted the req after a few weeks, over and over again.

I’m not saying the listings are fake, but if they were fake, this is pretty much what it would look like from the outside.

I have no earthly clue what world economists are living in where the labor market is great.

I’ve been looking for a job for over a year (in tech, over a dozen years as an SDE, a dozen more as a TPM, lead role in both titles). Whenever I can get an employer to actually respond to the hundreds of applications I send, their salary offerings are a joke.

Are people just out there taking 20% - 30% haircuts on what they make?

Dancing colors; smothered, covered and topped.

That cable management is horrendous. Pull them out.

No wonder I can’t find a TPM job anywhere. The senior devs are doing all my work.

The current generation of the ford mustang Mach-e has its mobile telemetry cellular antenna wired to an isolated fuse that you can just pull out to kill it. I was astonished to learn how straight forward the process is supposed to be.

Three cheers for Evergreen for taking the protest demands seriously and saying “Yeah, ok, that sounds fine.” So everybody went home.

1. He does not walk free. He’s also been convicted of rape and other charges in California, which the judge ruled his time served in NY wouldn’t affect. So he goes to California prison.

2. The appeals court ruled that he gets a new trial in New York. That will take a while, and cost a lot, but he’s not getting away scott free (yet).

In all, this is yet another symbol of the multi-tiered system of justice that the rich and powerful face vs the rest of us. We all get as many shots at freedom as we can afford - and the rich can afford a lot more than most.

The power of our justice system can be measured by how resilient it is at withstanding a perpetual assault by a well funded criminal.

That’s a mundane missile.
