<p>A refactor and then a feature implemented on that refactor is tightly coupled by definition. It would not make sense to implement the feature and refactor independently, because you’d be wasting time implementing a feature that you  would have to refactor again.</p>

<p>“A retreat may feel more relaxed than the office, but it is still a workplace, and the power dynamics don’t disappear,”<p>Ah, so sad :( Another story of a person who believed other people in the workplace too much.<p>These kinds of exercises are unfortunately a waste of time. If you’re honest, you’re walking into a minefield. But if you’re not being open, then no one is really getting to know anyone else in any meaningful way. In the end, a bunch of money and time is spent with zero value gained.<p>And given that this was about someone sharing their experience with a medical procedure to help them process the death of a parent, the company will probably lose the lawsuit, wasting even more money.<p>What a tragic waste of resources. Also, my heart goes out to this person. Loosing a parent is terrible.</p>

<p>What do you think happens in war? Clean fighting from side to side?<p>You really think the massive amounts of death and destruction aren’t top ten? What do you think happens to the local population when an invading force arrives? You should go and read about the rape of Nanking. And just read about what happened in wars before the modern era.</p>

<p>Iran is not David in this case. They’ve shown that their drone warfare is just a little bit under what the US military can provide. Remember that they destroyed a quarter of a trillion dollars radar installation. And the US has spent billions on munitions. The US can’t actually keep going in this war.</p>

<p>This story is so unbelievably sad!<p>> That leaves the question of automatic emergency braking: why didn’t the truck slow or stop itself before hitting stationary vehicles at a lit intersection? AEB is designed for exactly this scenario — it detects vehicles or obstacles in the truck’s path and applies the brakes when a collision is imminent, regardless of driver input.
Most modern Class 8 trucks are already equipped with collision-mitigation systems from suppliers like Bendix and Detroit Assurance<p>So Tesla made a decision to make their semi less safe than the average for the vehicle class.<p>They could have had basic safety equipment, but they wanted to save a buck. Now two people are dead and another is almost dead. This is gross negligence on the Tesla semi truck’s engineering team and the executive leadership.</p>

The actual people working to earn that collective billion are the employees.<p>> that you don't have to cheat to become a billionaire<p>I think he’s feeling some sort of way about this. He’s probably coming to terms with the fact that you do have to cheat to become a billionaire. Uber et al. showed you can just keep breaking the law and bribing officials to get to a billion quick. He and his buddies are currently having fun bribing Republican Party officials to make billions.</p>
