I'm living this hell right now.

Management just keep hiring developers. Coordination and communication between them and product managers gets more difficult.

Management keep agreeing to unrealistic timelines on new projects, yet haven't completed the old projects yet.

The architecture of the codebase is so convoluted and confusing that new devs take a very long time to get anywhere close to productive and self sufficient. Time to develop and release acceptable features gets longer and longer.

On top of all that, senior devs and tech leads are very up tight about code quality and 'how to write your code' yet can't even agree with each other on 'how to write your code' leading to Pull Request hell for devs and occasional whole week rewrites.

I'd buy a copy of this book and put it on my bosses desk, but he won't read it.

What an ugly UI update. I usually don't mind too much about the changes in MacOS UI and visuals, but opening up Finder leaves me shocked that this actually got the green light. Who in their right mind looked at this and thought: "yep that's the future, it looks fantastic!".

How exactly does this work? I have Zed, I have Claude Code, I can't get the two working together.

There are plenty of people with money, who do pay taxes, who can start those businesses. We don’t need trickle down economics in order to function as a society.

Does London need the Global Rich hanging around if they’re not willing to pay taxes? Is it necessary to have the tax bring in 30 Billion in order for it to be considered a success? If nothing else, this tax demonstrates to those who DO pay tax, that the Government is willing to treat earners equally and fairly, regardless of how much tax it brings in.

I find it fascinating reading hacker news, full of IT folk who simultaneously build software that enables and profits from the advertising and personal information selling & tracking industry - are also the same people who complain the loudest about it. Unbelievable.
