You say “preferred” alot in your post.

Did a leader in your organization ask you to switch tooling and you declined?

I work in an organization where we cut deployment bugs in angular by a shocking 40% by consolidating our teams tooling into a consistent set of standards. If a developer started with us who after hearing this wouldnt agree to conform to those standards we would terminate them as quickly as possible.

Came here to share this as well Superset doesn’t have quite the cult following as tableau or other tools but the project has come really far since its inception and is quite robust

New comment by batoure in "We check our node_modules folder into source control"

Insomnia lead me to go dig into the repo… the average age of 98% of files in node_modules is 10 months old, attached to the commit when most of these files were added to the repo in the first place… so the entire argument is predicated on the changes to 2% of the dependencies

Basically came here to say this. The whole article felt very silly until I was like “oh wait OP stated early on he works at google… yeah seems about right ~closes tab~”

I would tack on to this and say the post is talking about homelessness restricted to the microcosm of san francisco while John Oliver is trying to discuss it more broadly. the author contends that the “just give them housing” argument is debunked which is true but also not. these types of efforts didn’t succeed in the bay area but helped states like utah and new mexico decrease homelessness to the tune of something like 90%.

this feels somewhat like an unnecessary take down of an exposes that broadly does a good job talking about some of the challenges and solitions.

New comment by batoure in "Ask HN: Why is medical software so hard to use?"

batoure — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 07:48:50 +0000

our company does M&A tech evaluation for companies and every now and then we run into medical software companies, the results more often than not are sad for everyone. Our experience has been that the companies are generally very well tooled up and organized to have conversations with HIPAA auditors where if we weren’t part of the evaluation they would be free and clear. But because we are in the conversation and because of our evaluation methods (most of which are hands on, fun fact most HIPAA auditors will never touch your system in any way) we generally end up with results that show companies have over invested in business process teams and under invested in best in class engineering to bring that business process to market in an industry best process kind of way.

> Telling an employee they have no opportunity for vertical growth in an org typically results in negative consequences.

This is totally it, putting a team member through rejection without giving them a growth plan and telling them you want them to succeed or grow basically gives them a map to the door

Agreed on some digging Culdesac is very clearly just a “rebranded apartment complex” their units are only for rent nothing like a stand alone house is available and as far as the retailers/restaurants the ones listed will occupy the only spaces built for that purpose… its an apartment complex

I’m the Founder of a sub 20 person company and you are right about tableau but also completely wrong about your view. The problem with your tool is anyone who will find this useful can also just solve this problem with JavaScript.

Additionally I think you fell pray to a mistake i my self made about 8 years ago. I built a product thought it was amazing tried to turn it into a company and completely failed. In one of my final meetings about the project someone said “you know you just reinvented Apache yarn here right?... and not in a good way” I had no idea what they were talking about I left the meeting and started power googling they were right 80% of our code was pointless and missing 90% of the features of a pretty generic open source project.

Today I red team any idea I have by assuming someone solved it and I just haven’t found it yet. I ask the smartest people I know “what does this idea feel like?” Before I build anything...

If I could go back in time and tell you one thing it would be “while you may feel like you are fixing excel 100% of your features are in the developer docs for google sheets... a free product”

New comment by batoure in "Ask HN: Should I pass on a new job because they want me to sign a non-compete?"

batoure — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 01:36:22 +0000

This may not be relevant to your case but I don’t see it mentioned.

I have worked with several large tech companies where I did not sign the non compete. I didn’t bring it up as an issue but I very clearly didn’t sign or otherwise initial the paper work. Strangely I have never once had one of those companies come back and ask me why I didn’t sign it.

I think that companies try to get what they can out of you.
