@johannarothman @johncutlefish I've also witnessed this. Enough times that I can't regard it as an exception.

[Ryan Latta @recursivefaults]

May not seem like much, but tech companies do things with data at massive scale. So their ability to comply is usually set on an extreme of can’t do it at all or can do all of it.

You know, I wonder what would happen if a major social network got flooded with CCPA notices from residents in CA while it was in turmoil.

[Ryan Latta @recursivefaults]

For those who don’t know, CCPA is a privacy bill in CA that gives its residents a lot of rights to its data. Rights like disclosure of its use, ability to download it all, and even have it deleted. Companies pay penalties up to $7500 each time they can’t perform.

How JavaScript developers create new projects

[Ryan Latta @recursivefaults]

@ThePracticalDev Everyone hits them at some point. Most senior folks are all at the same plateau. I found concepts like SOLID to be a culprit. TDD can get you past it because it forces a paradigm shift.

@johncutlefish @neil_killick I wrote an article about this a few years ago. This is the difference between enabling and non-enabling constraints.

I offer that a mix of: trust, responsibility, and ownership create the difference.

@SeaOfThieves With that new sea fort adventure: all of them.

[Ryan Latta @recursivefaults]

@juliafmorgado Yep. Unless they tell you no right then, it’s impossible to know what their perception of you is. We have no real idea what they are looking for in the answers we give.

Interview them to be engaged, create relationship, and find out if they are a dumpster fire.
