This old chestnut again.

It’s always some government department or tech company sitting on a pile of VC money.

Easy to make it work when the people were barely working in the first place, and with no competitive pressure.

Let’s see it at a construction project with a real deadline, or at a business in any kind of competitive industry.

Does anyone actually think that day 5 of a work week has a zero or even negative productivity value?

This is a well researched phenomenon.

It’s also been demonstrated that these sorts of biases have made their way into the AI models which are commonly used to review applicants.

Linux support also appears to be coming along nicely (though not ready yet).

They’ve been here 8 years on working visas, neither is a permanent resident.

Unfortunately Australia does not grant citizenship by birth unless at least one of the parents is a permanent resident.

Not sure what their plans were, but it sure is a shitty situation if they were anywhere close to being granted permanent visas.

To me this just demonstrates how fucked our working visa system is.

Just learning what this is - and it honestly sets off my BS detector.

Seems like a great way to other people who support any kind if conservative position.

Not American though, so it’s hard to even tell if shit like this is real from the outside…

Tangent: what’s this trend all about where people will make a statement and then firmly state that they will not answer questions or explain themselves afterwards?

I’m seeing it everywhere.

Aren’t non-competes basically unenforceable anyway? At least for individual contributors. You can’t contractually ban an individual from making money from their literal profession.

Senior execs and company founders with privileged information are a different story.

Not American, but in my country non-compete clauses are routinely put into employment contracts even though they have been demonstrated to be illegal in most cases.

It’s simply used to intimidate the ignorant.

There’s an aphorism, “give me 10 engineers and I’ll build it in a year, give me a hundred engineers and I can get that down to just five years.”
