  • Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in CA for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. The woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor with 16,000 citations.

  • I love stories from hardware / embedded design. Reminds me that black magic is real, and it's a miracle any of this works.

  • Make no mistake, I see it as very likely that this problem doesn't get solved without significant violence.

  • Republicans reshaped their party from the inside via the Tea Party dorks. We're all worse off for that, but - at this point, the only path forward is for Democrats to do the same, reshape the party by going hard left, vehemently attack the corporate Democrats (almost all of them).

  • Ah interesting, I think for some reason I assumed it'd be more of an administrative career path offshoot for someone working in chemistry, but architecture does make more sense. And I know how you feel, I started my career in industrial controls because the idea of working at the interface between invisible electrical black magic and moving valves, motors, and other machinery seemed real cool.

    Quickly learned that in that world, creativity and innovation are treated more like liabilities than anything else lol, and rightly so. There's a few great, proven ways to do most things, and rarely is it wise or fruitful to develop novel approaches over one of the proven solutions. I wouldn't want to be a chemist in a lab toting multiple new designs, lol.

    I found it stifling, but could've tolerated it a lot better if the majority were WFH like yours!

  • Seriously. There's no reasonable argument that they should have been allowed to continue to exist after that.

  • I really wish we'd start prosecuting and imprisoning leadership boards for really anything the company does wrong. It's really amazing the way we let companies just get away with every single thing, I mean how much more predictable could the slide to shittiness be?

  • A lab planner! That's one of those cool (sounding at least) jobs that are obvious when you think about it but I've just never thought about it.

    Definitely piqued my curiosity though. How much of your work is designing new labs vs retrofitting existing ones, how much travel is involved / how much area do you cover (the question there is really about how many labs exist needing such services), and what are any weird or surprising elements of your job?!

  • Couldn't agree more. There is no solution to this exploitative pattern that doesn't involve drastically curtailing the profits made by participating in the pattern. The details matter obviously, but the situation is really that simple. There's no solution for us that doesn't require ending the rewards of this behavior for them.

  • Great insight, and really this is emblematic of the idiotic hyper-focus on growth, as much and as quickly as possible. It's always better for society and broader stakeholders if growth happens organically. Growth should happen to satisfy growing demand, it should not be forced to go as fast as possible because there's ridiculous money to be made by getting in early and inflating demand.

    Every damn thing "investors" get a fuckin whiff of they ruin this way, housing being probably the worst (repeat!) offender. We have to figure out how to disincentivize this behavior. It guarantees toxic trash for industries in their wake and just further enriches the worst among us.

    Edit: clarity

  • I've had an antagonistic relationship with a vendor like this, it's awful. In my case the vendor was supposed to be a fast moving tech startup - the only thing that moved fast there was the revolving door of engineering talent coming and going.

    Even worse, my boss had been convinced by their founder that he had all this pull with the company, and since the company was super cool, that made him super cool, and I dunno if you've ever tried to criticize something that has made a middle aged nerd feel cool for the first time in his life, but let's just say it was not a fruitful endeavor.

    The number of things I effectively fixed for them via email, the abominations I had to construct to work around the things they refused or failed to fix...bad times.
