Friends, I’ve been on Twitter for 14 years and generally I have enjoyed it. The situation with the new owner and the new random rules has drained all of the goodness away for me. I’m stepping away from Twitter for while. Perhaps I’ll be back at some point.
I’m no aviation expert, but one technique for avoiding being tracked by ADS-B is to fly on commercial airlines. Sounds crazy I know, but it might work.
@robsonink@AkilahObviously Not sure if this is helpful, but I’m generally on the other side of this as someone hiring contractors on behalf of big cos. Most shops are set up to pay large vendors a lot of money, not 1 person. Easier for everybody if you are with multiple people and charge a lot.
@copyconstruct I doubt there were many truly “clueless” eng org leaders. There was (kinda still is) a very real war for talent. Perks and comp are a big part of the draw for highly sought after employees, without which the same companies might have failed.
@michaelhilton@hyrumwright Yeah that’s better. After some thought, I rather like “system health” or possibly something else that reflects “how safe are changes in this system”.
Lots of people in software talk about “technical debt”, but I don’t think we have a shared definition of this term. Also I think the metaphor is bad. Rarely do we explicitly “borrow” some bad, faster to write code.
@doriaKeung@banksean Sure your definition makes more cohesive sense. But that’s not what most people mean when they use the term. I think people mean roughly, “stuff that sucks to work on”.
