My humor may be crass, but the comparison stands.

You can't assume everyone received a severance, had enough severance or wasn't severely impacted by the layoff (just because they made a decent living prior).

There's a non-zero percent one or more laid off individuals killed themselves due to losing their job. Don't minimize that.

I don't think you get it. The wealth of the people has nothing to do with this. A cheap prostitute and a well paid engineer deserve the same respect. Why are you bringing wealth or social status into it?

That's not what you said though.

So... it's okay to treat them like crap.

Right... I'm sure that's what happens.

The thing is, no one says, "I use Windows, btw."

Or that one microservice holding up the other 10,000 microservices keeled over :)

I used to blog and share it. Sharing on HN is a waste as your account will get shadow banned for posting to the same domain in a row, so you have to spread it out between sharing random other links which feels scummy.

Sharing it on Reddit will likely get you banned/removed from a subreddit. Sharing it on dev.to will get you almost no views and maybe one comment from newbie developers. Never tried sharing on Twitter as I don't have one, but I imagine it's like sharing on anything else.

Sharing on LinkedIn works for engagement in groups if your topic is relevant to groups, but I found people will engage with my post (thumbs up, comment, etc) but very few people actually click the link and read your post.

Most traffic comes from Google, and I have no idea if those readers got what they came for.

I ultimately stopped writing and sharing. I removed all of my writing. I don't think it's worth the time or effort unless I find a better reason to write/share.

If you want people to find your content and read it, it's probably the wrong reason.

That's what we need-- some random third party inbetween you and your entire infrastructure. What could go wrong? :)

I'm not even sure what I just read. I thought it was going to explain why they don't use any analytics anymore and all I got as a 10,000 foot answer that could be summarized as, "Well, because!"

I don't use analytics on any of my services simply because I don't like analytics and people tracking me, so why would I do it to others?

Does it mean I don't track my business metrics? No. I still measure general conversion rates from sign up to payers. I measure things like sign ups per-month. You don't need analytics to track that. Basic metrics combined with a "CHANGELOG" file with dates/releases/fixes is plenty for my solo business. Want to know what I did in January to spike sign ups or more payers? Look at my change log.

I finally did it... I kept an iPhone long enough to not be able to upgrade. Looks like iPhone 8 doesn't get iOS 17. I guess I won't be bothered with update nags anymore.

Wasn't the original backdoor in a code example the NSA provided to companies interested in using cryptography? They gave an example seed or whatever, and most companies copy/pasted it instead of generating their own primes, so the NSA could break it trivially.

My memory around this is fuzzy and I can't seem to find the original source.

Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I prefer zip or (even better) tar.gz at this point... I never understood winrar. I always thought it was a Windows specific thing. I never even heard of people using winrar on Linux/MacOS, etc.
