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?
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.
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.
