The impact is negligible, just more virtue signaling.

SF is signaling it’s ok to be a criminal, because maybe someone was poor and doesn’t know better?

even if it’s true there will be people to take advantage of it. the sf bay created its own toxic political environment and they’re paying the price.

It’s human nature to scratch each other’s backs. It’s happening, will continue to happen, and there’s little which can be done.

It’s always a game of cat and mouse. Legalizing small time bribery where it can be done out in the open would probably be far more effective then advocating for things like increased workplace surveillance.

Thinking commerce can happen without corruption or kickbacks is just naive.

Is there anything left of SF? It’s been a shitshow for years , why anyone wants to live there is perplexing.

Pelosi is vile, not only in her conduct but what she represents. The sooner she leaves office the better off we all are.

I would change careers if I had to work in VR. I don’t like people and wfh is a dream. I’ve been doing it for 10 years and won’t ever go back.

Knowing k8s makes it a lot harder - there’s nothing wrong with apps on ec2.

Shut it down. It’s toxic and shouldn’t be fixed. It’s perpetuating a echo chamber, slippery slope. All echoed ideas are bad as they discourage critical independent thought.

I read the book awhile ago and practice it extensively in my personal and work life.

Being up front and honest about what you want, including what you don’t want, is an incredible force multiplier.

Some people can’t handle it and that’s ok with me. It just means we likely won’t work together effectively. I view it as a matter of maturity, we’re all adults here.

I don’t pander and I make that clear up front. Almost everyone respects and responds positively.

It’s a matter of time, for me. I would also be worried about socializing from homeschool.

I work full time and my wife uses the time the kids are at school to manage activities, the home, etc.

Home school would be explored if we had a live in nanny and perhaps someone to help design a curriculum.

Crappy candidates in my opinion are the ones who go into dev for money.

It was so niche back in the day the applicants were prequalified by just showing up to the interview.

I’m referring to the mental toll the protocol takes. I am sure for some people it’s a win.

It seems like overkill, a massive over reaction, to me. It’s just a feeling, and I look forward to the mental health studies that will eventually come.

iOS has something called time sensitive notifications which when allowed solve that issue, at least for me.

My friends wife lost an eye due to complications from a booster.

The vaccine has real side effects, the faster we can have a civic conversation about it the better off we all are.

I have severe cardiovascular problems and cannot get the vaccine. I’m judged and called an antivaxxer all the time. It’s not us vs them, we’re all in it together.

Being open and honest is always the best path. Especially when you disagree.

That sounds horrific, I would much rather opt out of that event instead of going through that.

I refuse to live in fear.
