I say all this a someone who has slight bias towards companies like Automattic, Elastic, HashiCorp: companies that invest heavily in open source. All of them seem to need to tweak their approach: and I’m rooting for them.
As long as they play clean.

my mom (who's a university professor) did something interesting last year: she assigned her students to give chatgpt an essay question, have it write a paper, and then proofread/fact check it. nearly every single student in that class came out of that assignment anti-chatgpt.

I got to play six degrees of (Kevin Bacon) Kurt Vonnegut today, by happenstance.
I'll take it! (2, btw)

Not all heroes wear capes, but Marcus does.
This is the perfect response to all the Republicans making bad faith arguments that Harris should just implement her policies now.

People who keep saying that Appalachia should’ve been prepared for this really know nothing about the area or weather. This wasn’t a “once in a lifetime” thing. This was a “this has never happened since Noah” kind of thing. It’s one thing to live below sea level and have this happen, it’s a whole other to literally live in the mountains and have your home wash away or have water covering your house. People had less than a days warning of how bad it might be and nothing said it would be this bad. On the coast people know a week ahead what will likely happen because it happens all the time. It’s not the same.

Sometimes, with what I am generously assuming is the best of intentions, folks in OSS who deeply care about sustainability, make it harder for the rest of us trying to do this work...
Logging off is a superpower.
So is surrounding yourself with people you actually listen to.

Amazon's reported US corporate/tech workforce is
330, 000 people
So...that's a very real number of people who could potentially have a serious decision to make.

Remote and hybrid 1 here. Whatever facilitates the collaboration best for the type of work we're doing(roles and how they focus-time matter for productivity!) is where I'm excited to be(and most productive), and it has not, for me, been fully in-person.

Read this take with a grain of salt. While I had fun hanging out with my coworkers back when I was in an office, I've been remote full-time for the past 6 years and I can't go back to an office. I get way more done at home and I'm not bogged down by a commute anymore. Community at work is chill, but honestly, shipping dope features together even while remote builds community because you're pairing anyways. You shouldn't be using work as your primary catalyst for community, that can and should exist outside of work.
As for well-being, idk what he means in this context but everybody is different. Only well-being i got working in an office is a lot of steps walking to and from subway stations in NYC.

I keep trying to figure out where only in-person work is truly ideal. So limiting.
In medicine, if I have a serious issue, a just in-person crew may not be best. What if they can get The Expert halfway around the world on a call with my care team(who doesn't specialize in this)

Like, even my very experienced plumber will call his bestie on another job to get a second opinion, share pics, and collaborate sometimes. And our work is better for it.

Incredible that we will blame absolutely all productivity metrics on remote work without a shred of accountability that many industry-sweeping rounds of reduction in force will do to morale

Andy Jassy is asking Amazon employees to come to the office five days a week. They can work from home on the other days.

If your idea for turning a company around is "let's do the same shit we were doing but in a physical office" then you are out of ideas.

It is the kind of day that I am surprised I have not broken out in stress hives!
Not sure whether to be proud of myself or just wait...

man it sucks so much being like 7 to 10 years into a career where the idea was that eventually you would be compensated fairly once you have experience right as the entire industry decides it hates its employees so much
