This is why I stopped identifying myself as full-stack and only do front end.

I think it’s just part of this “move fast” mentality. We’re at a point where we’re forced to move so quickly that things get thrown out the window just to meet a deadline.

Software teams solved this a fucking eternity ago through shared component and design libraries. Meanwhile, all of these FAANG companies are out here pushing surveillance tools that are all clearly built by siloed teams with zero collaboration.

Thanks! It was funny buying the domain enjoying.yachts since I don’t own nor will ever own a yacht.

No, not THAT Hacker News!

Nice, thanks! This is what I was looking for. Something that handled solely 2FA.

I’ve been moving over to Okta’s app. Wondering if I should pick something else though. All of my credentials are in 1Password, but I don’t want my 2FA in the same place.

Not everything has to be a subscription.

Unless you’re a greedy CEO. Then everything should be a subscription!

When the group with the most control within government at the moment is 1. The most extreme, 2. does not compromise at all, and 3. is pushing to strip rights from people, tell me what the options left are. At this point it’s not even about left vs right or any of that nonsense. It’s about preventing fascism from having a chokehold on the livelihood of the working class.

I’ve been pretty direct about the way I see it. I don’t see how I’ve moved goalposts. Extremism forces us to the most rudimentary set of options: help burn the house down, watch it burn, or try to put it out.

To be clear, I’m not a “vote blue no matter who” dipshit, and I can’t stand conservatives or libertarian types. The US duopoly is to blame for our lack of options, and when fascism has intertwined itself with your country’s leadership in the form of people like Netanyahu getting a standing ovation like Hitler did, options become… limited.

It’s anecdotal but every time I’ve encountered a person that identified as centrist or moderate, they mostly aligned with conservative ideology and were otherwise absent from political participation or opinion. It becomes this thing where they pick and choose based on their own personal privilege because their future isn’t yet being threatened by extremism (which can also be attributed to classical liberalism). This is the unfortunate byproduct of being up against a side that is willing to take everything from people in order to get what they want.

If the alternative is extremism that continues to push right, centrists are doing fuck all for the working class collective. Extremism unfortunately makes that an inescapable reality.

Any time someone says they’re a “moderate” or a centrist, it usually means they will fold to fascism if it serves them, which makes them a right-winger by default. Fuck all of this soft language. You either support human rights, or you don’t. There is no middle ground.

“Punching bag” is an appropriate title for how the field feels sometimes.

Oof those are some stinkers. I’ve seen bad but never anything like hiring a contractor to do your code challenge work for you.

Lmao, great film. Pictured myself hacking away on some shitty laptop, while bathing with paper towels in an airport bathroom.

Or the technical challenge being ridiculous like a lot of them are. If you have that many people failing it, that tells me some or all of these things are true:

1. Management, or whoever they hire for handling candidates, is not screening them well
2. The challenge is needlessly complex
3. The challenge requirements are not clear
4. The company expects absolute prod-ready perfection but told the candidates “don’t spend more than 2-3 hours on this,” despite it taking one of their own engineers 6-8 hours
5. The salary is way too low and they’re not getting candidates that fit their demands (e.g. wanting “senior” while offering “junior” salaries)

Seriously, some tech companies think they shit gold and give ridiculous challenges that reflect that delusion.

Senior moment.

A lot of people are on the Fediverse to escape these corporate data-hoarder apps. It’s so weird to still see people embracing the abusers. It’s like we’ve learned nothing.

I need to look into that. It’s not too bad yet but this is prime time to get that kind of thing sorted.

Lol thanks! I was pretty stoked when I snagged it and got everything set up.
