My sister’s team did something truly great with the satisfaction surveys. They all gave the same marks along the months: 6, 7, 10, 8, 8, 10, 7, 6.

It made a very nice Batman shadow on the manager’s dashboard. That’s about all they can be used for.

…which is a pretty good proof of team cohesion.

97-98 cents per dollar, excluding control on overdue hours. Twice more men than women do unpaid hours every week (34% vs 17%) leading, each year, to 3-5% more experience per year. Therefore, 97c for 5% less experience per year worked, and the wage gap already goes the other way.

And we can’t measure the quality of the focus per day, obviously. (But we can measure the toilet time. It’s mean but results always go the same way).

We’ll discuss the glass ceiling when people admit than men also need help. Not an open ear with active listening to /dev/null and no actions behind, no; Actual help with real funding behind it.

As it stands, this focus on women exclusively is only reproducing the divide from generation to generation, male managers being reluctant to hire women after the 2016 #metoo movement.

Most of us solve it by flooding our face with phone light in the middle of the night ;)

At this point I believe it’s a tradition to design push doors this way.

Strategically then, wait until you are 4 months in the job, when they’ve paid the commission to the recruiter (finding and contacting interesting people is a job, paid ~20% of the gross salary), and THEN you raise the price.

Expect to receive a flying chair. If you get out of it alive, you’ll get a better salary.

Imagine that guy has this big npm repository locally with all those dodgy libraries with uncontrolled origin, in their /lib/node_modules with root permissions.

Wait, we all do, here.

Same, since about two month. The name of my country’s brands, separated with dots or spaces. Extremely easy to detect, so why does it pass…

Patents, but also copyright on software. We gain nothing by rewriting the software every time, OSS should be the default. Same for music. It’s more controversial but Spotify is monetizing convenience, not music, which itself is available for free on P2P.

What are notable books nowadays? It seems all the books I can cite are from 2005-2010 (Clean Code, JCIP, even the Lean Startup or Tribal Leadership…) but did the market for legendary books vanish in favor of Youtube tutorials? I’m running out of materials I can give to my interns to gobble knowledge into them in bulk.

At the time it felt astonishing that central banks allowed non-state currencies to exist on national ground, for the first time. It still feels astonishing.

People have always said that ;) but Jira is super-expensive. It was $60 per user (permanent), and they’ve increased the prices a lot. Especially since you buy Confluence and all the little addons separately.

In 2001, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar thought “Let’s sell an equivalent to the dozen of free open-source bugtrackers, but for a price.” Today Atlassian is worth about $60bn, they owned about 75%.

A company sold for 3 million is... I mean, in average, I see that the worth is about 1m$ per employee. If you sold for less, your stock performed poorly compared to others. Maybe the product or the engineering was great, but on the wrong market or never met its window. Business is difficult.

The question is, would you have had excellent returns if the company had been worth $1m per employee?

Are servers important anymore? Seems to me that servers are made to automatically scale on AWS, and that is it. 8vCPU may be equivalent to 1x M1, it doesn’t really matter as long as you can have 4 of them.

Buy a computer screen + the $100 AppleTV module. At least Apple is privacy-serious, and you get Netflix-Hulu-Youtube. It doesn’t give you a classic tuner though.
