A programmer goes to his TL, and says "My project has grown overly complicated and interdependent. It's impossible to reason about or refactor without risking breaking everything. What should I do?" The TL says, "There's a great new testing framework out this month. Go use it, and it will give you the confidence to simplify and refactor your code." The programmer cries in dismay. "But TL—my project is the testing framework!" ^ a joke from personal experience

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fwd: FW: You don't know Jack Schitt? Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 14:36:15 -0400 From: Subject: Fwd: You don't know Jack Schitt? For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt!' Well, thanks to genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt was married to O. Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, and owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious coupleproduced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition who was nick-named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happensbrothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt. Now when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt,' you can correct them. Sincerely, Crock O. Schitt NOTE: PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS A LAUGH. REMEMBER: IF YOU DON'T THEN YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO FULLA SCHITT=

sometimes its okay too because with enough employees they try to avoid liability by doing things like not shoving us all back into an open office floor plan the moment they can

DELETE CASCADE posted:lol faang doesn't give you options that could be OTM, they are RSUs, they just straight up give you the shares and you can sell them immediately yeah they're basically just money except with an extra step i think at some point in the past they were useful for the company accounting-wise, but now I think they're mostly around as a tradition and because it's handy to have a bonus that automatically goes up and down with the stock price.

idk afaik most of those places have hard upper limits on salary so eventually you’re just getting more RSUs and that makes payroll for a bunch of high comp employees easier

Midjack posted:they totally will though my guess is, being a large company, theyll match states they occupy with a slight veneer of added protections. some of the recommendations for protective work practices were already happening before so the eventual cram already has supportive framework gonna wait and see how they handle density, but the pre-isolation phase had teams alternating office time and rotating schedules to avoid contact and increase distance in the building the main thing they actively were going away from was cubicles with walls, or cubicles at all, so theyll probably stop redoing the old offices and pat themselves on the back. innovation

product requirements say the time for the product to perform a certain action is x. thus far the latency has been 4x but that was without tuning. after all kinds of tuning and (brittle) optimizations, we've been able to hit a latency of 2x, and there is some hope of approaching 1.5x if everything goes well and some speculative stuff turns out to work. actually reaching a latency of x is probably impossible with the hardware and software architecture decisions that have been made thus far apparently senior management feels that x is too slow, and the actual latency requirement should be more like 0.5x to better match a competitor. and right now I can't find a way out of being right in the eye wall of this poo poo typhoon
