    Think of the Children

    Or, at the very least, things that are somewhat child-like.

    People outside the USA will have no loyalty

    No. No Americans! Americans are too stupid to do computer jobs in America. If you believe otherwise, you're a racist.

    identity and identity management

    Sounds good, but "identity management" has become such a meaningless buzzword that beyond "we installed Active Directory", any attempt to "look into" identity management will lead you down an endless rabbit-trail of "Identity Provider" vendors, and SSO, and OpenID Connect, and more standards that nobody asked for or needed.

  7. There is a simple solution on How Can Businesses Close 'The Cybersecurity Gap'? (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    In every other industry, trade, or profession, in the entirety of human history, labor shortages have been solved in a fairly standard way - offer enough money to attract the best candidates. I wonder how the "cybersecurity" industry will handle this crisis?

    trying to one-up Uber

    Modern western civilization has taught me that you can get away with absolutely anything as long as you make sure to keep appeasing feminists. Keep that one rule in mind, and you're teflon.

    Job security.

    See and here I was thinking that the developers who get paid more are the ones who get paid by the hour and type "space space space space space" to begin every line.

    Well, just outlaw trucks and pressure cookers. Problem solved!

    Huh - well, if we outlaw cars, we can put an end to car accidents. You might be on to something here! This is revolutionary!

    That's a good point. Anybody who's planning to commit mass murder will surely stop when he finds out gun ownership is illegal.

    So if you're so convinced that no man deserves any type of success and has only succeeded because of rampant prejudice, why haven't you hung your head in shame and exited the industry to spend your days atoning for your sins and those of your gender in a remote monastery?

    Actually, it seems as if the most predictable comment on these stories is, "believe the accusers regardless of evidence" like yours.

  21. Haha, yeah - am I the only one here who just wishes that everybody else would go work from home?

  22. Re:I could do about 40% of my job remotely on Wordpress Parent Automattic Is Closing Its San Francisco Office Because Its Employees Never Show Up (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I prefer going to the office

    I think it sort of depends on your family situation, too - I genuinely don't believe that I could be married to the woman I'm married to right now and work from home full time. "Oh, hey, honey, since you're here, could you just..." I do wish the (open plan nightmare) office I worked in wasn't so full of constant distractions, though.

  23. Bonus if you take up a table but don't actually order anything.

  24. I for one cannot work from home

    I feel the same way, but I also think that we're in a tiny (and shrinking) minority these days. I've never tried to work full-time remote, though... I wonder (hope) whether it wouldn't be possible to get into a rhythm once you got used to it where you could be productive that way. I suspect that you and I will both find out in the near future.

  25. The "daily scrum" fad is good for some situations

    Daily standup meetings have been a fad for nearly 20 years now, and my consistent experience, across four different employers and almost two decades is that the daily standup turns almost immediately into an open discussion that drags on for a couple of hours most days. Inevitably at least one person has an issue that they really do need to talk to their manager about but for whatever reason seems to think that everybody else in the meeting needs to sit and listen to. Although the occasional manager will eventually cut them off and say "let's take this offline", that happens far too rarely for a standup to end in less than an hour.
