There are a number of things under the AUTOSAR umbrella, one of which is a set of C++ coding guidelines, akin to MISRA. This is what the other poster is referring to. Back when I worked at Tesla, we enforced a subset of MISRA rules, and at my current company we enforce a subset of AUTOSAR rules, but use none of the AUTOSAR “platform”.

Various groups of engineers from my team and adjacent teams eat lunch together pretty much every day.

Even ignoring lunch, we all still take plenty of breaks throughout the day to decompress, stretch, walk, grab snacks, make coffee, and so on - during each of which we have ample opportunity to chat with the folks around the office. We chat about our weekends and common interests, as well as misc tech topics that may or may not be relevant to the job. Once a week we actually have a scheduled coffee chat for the whole team.

I couldn’t work at a place that didn’t accept these sorts of interactions as a normal part of work life. No one does eight hours of heads-down work every day, unless they’re actually at work 10+ hour days every day.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

Yeah, I can definitely relate with you on that point.

I grew up in a mid-size suburban town where I knew many families in my neighborhood and generally felt a strong sense of community. I’ve lived in various cities over the years since, and I’ve never quite felt the same connection with my immediate neighbors. I still know and identify with many people in the area I live now, but they’re much more interspersed.

With wind and solar, everything grows cheaper. Single family homes are irrefutably less efficient than denser multi-family homes.

I won’t disagree with your comments on noise and pollution, because those are real factors, but you are 100% moving goalposts now.

You’ve set up a bit of a straw man argument there. The person you’re replying to isn’t saying suburbanites should pay for city potholes, they’re saying suburbanites need to be able to pay for their own (suburban) potholes, and the ugly truth is that suburban infrastructure maintenance is economically unfeasible. Suburban development has only progressed as far as it has via ponzi-like borrowing schemes that are entirely dependent on new growth.

We need to place more emphasis on the efficiency of transportation and infrastructure in new developments, and density is a major factor there.
