  • I don't understand how it works out for them though. Hiring is so much more expensive than retaining staff, not just the higher salary, but the loss of productivity from losing someone with institutional knowledge and needing to train the new person which can take a really long time to get them up to speed.

  • Sometime who's hired that many people would understand how job hunting works more. If you've worked at 3 FANG companies in 3 years, you're not quitting your job then interviewing, you're interviewing while you're employed and only quitting when you've secured the next job. Also, with a beefy resume like that, companies will be reaching out to you to poach you, and in those cases they can't complain about the work history because they're the ones trying to steal you away.

  • I like Magma better (Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon). I know Google is under alphabet but it's still the main company. And Netflix isn't really cutting edge anymore, so I'd put Microsoft above them tech wise.

    But most importantly, magma just sounds cool.

  • When they started treating employees and disposable cogs to be exploited.

  • Seriously, nobody is going to remember you. Like 3 generations down, you'll even be a tiny blip in your descendents world. Even most billionaires will be remembered through an encyclopedia entry and nothing else.

  • How's it risky? Normally you secure the next job before quitting.

  • I have no idea what level of proficiency you had in mind.

  • I had no idea that a lot of those were brand names

  • I grew up with windows and it's sloppy implementation of a lot of things is a big reason why I got into computers because it let me fuck around with things under the hood easily. I remember messing around with the registry to do things that you couldn't edit in the settings guis.

  • Every millennial I know, knows how to use a computer.

  • I also blame Apple and their walled garden approach to software

  • Computer networking was the most complicated class I took. How can GitHub be too complicated compared to the class? Or is it a non low level computer networking class?

  • That would only be a problem if you need dynamically allocated memory. It could be a statically allocated simulation where every atom is accounted for.

  • Conservatism at its foundation is about control, so they ultimately rely on force to control other people

  • The US collects about 5 trillion in revenue a year. This fucker wants a budget on the scale of the biggest revenue of a country on earth. That's more power than the president has. Fuck this guy. Nobody deserves that much trust.

  • You think pushing the status quo is going to result in change? The sweet spot for the rich is to have everyone struggle while they enrich themselves, but not struggle so hard that it leads to an upheaval. We've tried patching up a broken system and it doesn't fix anything, it just slows the decline. I think an upheaval is the only answer, dunno when we'll hit the breaking point, but it will happen, it's inevitable. For the economy to fundamentally change it will require it becoming completely impossible to survive in the existing economy, otherwise nobody would want to risk a fundamental rethink of how things work.

  • That's basically what the article says but admitting that would make for a bad headline.

  • I highly doubt they even count the real numbers

  • If the natural state of technology is that there aren't enough jobs to sustain an economy, then our economic system is broken, and trying to preserve obsolete jobs is just preserving the broken status quo that primarily benefits the rich. Over time I'm thinking more and more that instead of trying to prop up an outdated economic system we should just let it fail, and then we have no choice but to rethink it.
