There were some teams that never stopped coming to the office, due to sensitive aspects of their work.

And there's a boatload of data from centralized project management and ticketing systems, as well as centralized source repositories.

The data was absolutely available for data-driven arguments.


Unfortunately you'd probably have to discount the teams that never switched to WFH. The same reasons that likely drove that decision would mean they're unlikely to be good comparators to teams that had a choice.


So what you are saying is “there’s no possible way to collect data on this, so just trust me even though I’m bias”


That's a lot of words to shove in my mouth. At least buy me dinner first.


There were countless natural experiments available from teams that had differing levels of in-person attendance; as well as teams that either were or were not colocated, and teams that took steps (or didn't) to align their in-person appearances.

After all, there _were_ teams that never pivoted to WFH.


> that’s how they make all raincoats waterproof.

Nearly every major outdoor clothing manufacturer is making rain-gear without PFAS. Patagonia, The North Face, Arcteryx, Helly Hansen, Columbia, and Fjallraven (just to name a few) all offer a variety of PFAS-free raingear.

This has been an ongoing effort for 10 or 15 years at this point; with a lot of progress occurring in the last few years, as the PFAS-free DWR chemistries have reached parity for most use cases.


DWR == durable water repellent.


GORE-TEX ePE Is like 2 years old there’s like five raincoats with this technology and they’re fucking $500 and nobody has them except for some out of touch, coastal elites. and you have to spray more often with hippy dwr which is made of just shorter pfas, im sure thats much better lmao


There are at least a dozen of these coatings, and you can get em on $99 jackets. You can also get em on purpose built hunting jackets that no “coastal elite” is wearing.

You can be as rude you want. Your original claim remains incorrect, as are your follow-on claims.


Did you just move the goalpost to talking about waterproof coatings that come from China because that’s not what the articles about

99% of all rain jackets for the last 50 years are waterproofed with pfas, that’s not a failing of China and changing the waterproofing for a shorter chained PFAS is probably a good direction( unless you have to use 100 times more over the lifetime of the jacket ) but the article doesn’t even tell you what type of PFAS they detected they probably don’t have the equipment to do that. Curious that you would assume that it was the ‘bad’ kind


No, I didn't move the goalposts. I was refuting your incorrect assertion that the only non-PFAS coating is that one Goretex product for $500 jackets worn by coastal elites.

Literally every part of your claim there was incorrect.

Anyway, you have proven that you are ignorant, that you are ludicrously rude, that you are aggressive for no reason, and that you are either unwilling or unable to have a civil conversation. We're done.


That’s mostly a marketing myth on the AWS side. As recently as three or four years ago there were _new_ initiatives being built in the legacy “corp” fabric; and even today Amazon has internal tooling that makes use of Native AWS quite different than it is for external customers; particularly around authn/authz.

And that doesn’t even mention the comic “Moving to AWS” platform that technically consumed AWS resources, but was a wholly different developer experience to native.


I would bet a substantial sum that Tesla was insolvent early in the m3. They suddenly were firing people all over the place and not paying many vendors, and paying others quite late. Additionally, the finance pros kept quitting right then....

I think it went bk, but Musk bet that he could hype up the stock enough to raise cash in the next offering and then pretend it never happened...


If you're that interested, read the Musk biography I linked to in this thread. It's a good read.


That's a bit disingenuous.

HOA's can (and regularly do) enforce rules that governmental entities are constitutionally prohibited from enforcing.

Yes, technically not a violation because the HOA isn't technically government.


Can you identify such a rule?

State law enforces age restrictions on property in many circumstances. Adults can’t enter school property without registering with the main office. State law prohibits entry into bars and cannabis shops for people under certain ages. State law can prohibit minors from entering adult-oriented shops.

And we not just make lawful but even encourage the creation of housing intended for aging adults: https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/f...


Here is an example of the deaths that dishonest, woman hating, authoritarians like you promote:

I know you won’t care, because you’re a worthless monster. But just a reminder that you are, in fact, a horrible person who deserves a horrible life.


At large tech companies, the pay is entirely driven by level and rating; so there's no savings in salary; just added costs to comply with the directive.

It's endlessly frustrating that the US government wants to centrally plan my hiring decisions.


> It's endlessly frustrating that the US government wants to centrally plan my hiring decisions

What's the alternative - the government outsources visa issuance to the companies employing foreign labor?


Ok, so why are you hiring H1B's at this point then if there's "just added costs to comply with the directive"?


Because sometimes we fail to find a qualified American candidate.


Cash was often the fastest way to pay back then.
