Reddit must just have terrible developers. Like they havent paid them enough and it shows in the product. But its the most popular forum on the internet, so people use it anyways.
Over three years is more than enough. Less than 18mths is concerning. Of course, some people make a virtue of 6 to 12 mth engagements each of which have defined outcomes - and you hire these people to come and do the same for you.
An an Amazon employee I can say this absolutely happens, and not only that, some managers really think they are upholding the Amazon bar by pipping people out early. "He didn't meet the bar" is something ive heard multiple times after someone was only a month on the job. Not only that, teammates often dont help eachother, old systems are extremely complex. There is very little sympathy, and massive data collection about employees and their productivity.
I've noticed the same, and spent years in Apple's engineering, which was healthy as a culture and very very positively run, so the contrast is immediately visible and the blatant lying about leadership principles and hiring and developing the best are at once laughably obvious and super dysfunctional.
If you've got good stories please do share them - this article is about warehouse workers specifically but SDEs at amazon are generally assumed to have exceedingly cushy jobs - please do shatter that conception if you can.
People are underestimating how much content disappears. But I think the long run is far more Thruthful, video of everything widely available, difficult for platforms to eradicate, and shattering to the large scale brainwashing
Pretty obvious this came from a lab. Theres no easy resolution to the problem though. Is the USA going to confront China? Spark a dangerous tension? They are meddling with technology that they dont respect, and we are all suffering the consequences
Alot of popular discussions that become unsavory, i.e. discussions about incels and sexless men get removed from the front page. Basically hard truths that are hot topics for men in technology. HN generally avoids allowing controversial discussions about race, gender, discrimination, etc.
All of which I think is fine, this isnt really the medium for that. When a big event occurs, they allow the discussion, otherwise, things get downranked. I really dont think the downranking is by members, it usually happens too rapidly, and makes no sense given the number of replies occurring in the thread.
Very strange examples, why are incels hot topics for men in tech? I have known one incelish person in tech and i've met many hundreds of people by now. Is this incel stuff actually relevant in america? In europe i think it is not
Because tech has alot of nerdy men online, who arent the demographic known for attracting women. Its absolutely relevant, the discussion is mostly suppressed. It will impact society in a big way though
I am really nerdy (including the awkward at school stuff etc.) and am married. This goes for most nerdy tech people i know. The ones that stayed single usually had some other issues like hygiene or erratic behavior. From what i can gather this seems to be the case for most people that label themselves "incel". The full meaning of the word itself is evidence of problematic sovial behavior, as if somebody owes them sex lol
My real question is all the young men that will have to marry all these women exposing themselves online for money. Three times in the past week I drove by a car where a girl put her venmo on the window. On dating apps its now common for girls to have a venmo in their profile. This culture is far more widespread than just twitch.
