  • If it’s not a 32hr workweek, I don’t wanna hear about it. There are some jobs in tech on indeed that are advertising 4x10s, fuck that shit.

    This article specifically states 4x32. So that’s good. Should be in the title but I’m a pedant.

    Everyone should, every job should be able to take advantage of this. Hire more people to compensate.

    Billionaires don’t want this, so I’m super pessimistic. But if we keep talking about it and pushing for it, maybe someday…

    Edit: 4x8 not 4x32…


  • I find that communication is an underrated skill among software engineers

    The problem, which is sometimes too common, is if they have too good communication skills combined with lacking technical skills. These are the ones that BS their way up the ladder, while screwing over the people that count on them, because their code sucks (the actual important part, for a SW engineer).

    But yeah if you’re both good technically and a communicator, you’re pretty damn valuable. Personally, I’d be willing to muscle through terrible comm skills if the technical talent that matters was there.









  • Eh, I don’t think this is the best solution.

    The assumption is as soon as you turn 17 you’re smart enough and have the critical thinking skills to navigate social media without it negatively affecting you? Kinda dumb.

    There could be an argument that at least try to block it while young peoples brains are still developing, maybe there’s benefit in that.

    Older people than 16 are still duped by propaganda, and become addicted to social media, and all the negative consequences.

    What we need is regulation imo. Good, smart, progressive, altruistic regulation that is for the benefit of all. Ain’t gonna happen though, because sOcIaLiSm and “mUh FrEeDoMs”.
