Framed this way, I feel like any team that has had layoffs needs to be very deliberate about not performing heroics to keep things running. **Let things fail** if they require going above and beyond. Otherwise the floor will be raised and it will no longer be ā€œabove and beyondā€, just the expecta

Hello 2024, it's Tech: Off-topic here!

Shared this privately, but it's worth repeating it publicly: As a platform showing advertisements, you MUST have controls in place to allow people to opt out of certain categories of ads, e.g., those featuring violence, casinos/gambling, weight loss/AI body tuning, or alcohol/drug consumption. Not having that makes your platform unsafe and promotes an unhealthy society.

github tip: you can use "redirect.github.com" when referencing an issue/PR from another repo inside an issue/PR in your repo this will avoid your issue getting backlinked into the other repo's issue, reducing noise. example: "github.com/nodejs/node/6969" becomes: "redirect.github.com/nodejs/node/6969"

not sure who to attribute this to - there is NO reason any of us should have to "thrive in a fast paced environment" or "work well under pressure." most of our daily work is not an emergency and our culture of fake urgency and immediacy just to make more profit for people in the c-suite is burning people out. stop sending people into fight or flight and expecting them to bend over backward because you dont know how plan or manage resources properly

The thing about #tech #layoffs that people who haven’t been through it often don’t understand is that morale never recovers. The employees who remain will never have the same relationship with that company, bosses or peers. Watching people you respect pack their stuff and crying on the phone with their spouses is something that never goes away. When I survived a layoff in my 20s I became a ā€œdo exactly what the ticket saysā€ person. I stopped suggesting ideas, providing feedback, believing anything a manager told me. If you are a company considering layoffs, especially a profitable company, you should approach it as ā€œthis department will have 100% turnoverā€. The second I got another job offer I left that company and six months later nobody who had been there at the time of layoffs remained. I’ve seen that pattern play out multiple times.

If you've ever wondered why some Wi-Fi is free (like in hotels), it's because typically data about your browsing is sold to countless ad companies that will happily buy it. Had to use the hotel WiFi recently on a trip, and after clicking "agree" to their terms of service, the Little Snitch firewall on my Mac went bonkers. I must have denied 20-30 outbound requests to advertising networks. It still worked, though, so I'm guessing I didn't manage to block all of it.
