“Me too, let’s make out and adopt a pit bull”

All these fuckers are our neighbors and for many of us former employers.

We know exactly how they think, and what they think of us.

Andreesen is the tip of the iceberg.

I found that keeping up with people over video works better when you’re in the same time zone. When I was managing teams at +8 hours and -12.5 relative hours, communication and trust just weakened steadily over time and creative collaboration stalled. Spending a week there in person usually got things unstuck.

I know people on split engineering teams between LA and Seattle who prefer all virtual and it’s worked long term. LA to NY I think would be a heavier lift.

And, of course, this whole discussion is always dominated by software engineers; there are lots of jobs that involve actual manipulation of matter where in person collaboration is essential to communicate skills.

the executives locked themselves into expensive long term leases for their offices and don’t want to feel embarrassed that it’s a wasted cost.

This is exactly what happened at Alphabet.

My thoughts exactly. I was like “wait, this is not a trans meme?”

A lot of them (Alphabet in particular) overinvested in commercial real estate and are now sitting on a huge sunk cost.

Well, I installed Firefox on all of my devices after finding out about the DRM plans, mostly through lemmy.

So you got one person.

It’s official Lemmy, we have our first astroturf campaign!

Using the right tool for the right task is a big part of being a good engineer.

Liftoff is pretty good as well.
