I find this disrespectful by the author. I’m sure I’ve had colleagues at work that did this to me: throwing ai generated code at the reviewers with the mindset like "why should I look at it? That's what the reviewer does anyway".

I always passively call out the submitter on this stuff with comments like "Can you explain to me why you did this? Can you explain what this is expected to return" etc.

Usually gets them to sort out their behavior without directly making accusations that could be incorrect. If they really did write or strongly review the code, those questions are easy to answer.

You’re not alone! Also, I think that we just get older and learn slower. This, in combination with the lack of free time, makes me just worse at grinding leetcode. Also I’m just frustrated sometimes. I’m not dumb and a good worker, but other people that simply have a lot of free time get rewarded.

Im very interested in that topic and haven’t made up my mind about what really counts in parenting. You have sources for the claim about well-being (asking explicitly about mental well-being and not just material well-being) being more influenced by socioeconomic status and not so much by parental absence?

About the guy: I think if it’s just a one time thing it’s ok but the way he presents himself gives reason for doubt

A parent should provide their kids with opportunities to try new things. Sometimes this might require gently making a kid do something at least a few times until it's clear it's not something they are good at or interested in. Also deciding when to try something is important - kids might need to try it at different ages. And of course convincing and reassuring a kid might be necessary to try something they are afraid to do. Until the age of 12 or so, it's important to make it fun, at least initially.

It's debatable whether a parent always needs to "lead by example": for example, I've never played hockey, but I introduced my son to it, and he played for a while (until injuries made us reconsider and he stopped). For mental well-being, make sure to not display your worst emotions in front of your kids - they will definitely notice, and will probably carry it for the rest of their lives.

I agree. This seems very unintuitive and would be a code smell in a review.

I agree with you. Haven’t had very bad experience with service. I for example am perfectly ok with flagging down a waiter to order extra drinks. The US make me feel uncomfortable with their almost obnoxious wait staff asking you 100 times if everything is ok…but hell breaks loose if you’re done with your meal and you just wanna sit with your buddies and have one more drink or finish your beer. Then wait staff manages to make you feel very uncomfortable in my opinion. Much worse than default German service.

Because in Germany the waitstaff isn’t expecting a tip and they’re usually happy with their salary.

Whereas in the US, it’s all about the tips. And once you’re done with your meal, you’re just delaying the next tip.

Why would they be 'happy' with their salary? More pay is always better.

The Germans have a word for it: fremdschämen

Personal anecdote: A relative of mine has his own business that covers all sorts of IT stuff. He has a starlink running permanently as a backup because a couple of times a year his fiber experiences some downtime.

Terrestrial wireless would be faster, more reliable, and less expensive. Near the White House, it could link between multiple other government building and have no recurring expense. Starlink is worse, slower, and more expensive.

Starlink still seems like an odd choice, since having access to fiber implies 5g is available, too, and the latter costs half as much and is faster/lower-latency. Maybe it makes sense as a backup for the backup, though.

Sounds like good technology / business practice?

I run two independent (Technology + Provider wise) internet links for our house, as both my SO and myself are permanently working from home.

Do you suppose no one has ever thought of building redundant connectivity to the White House?

I was merely replying to the parent post.

I would be massively irritated if the White House would not have multiple levels of redundancy. Which makes the article just more confusing.

I think people start thinking he’s not just a jerk but his ulterior motives are nothing but despicable. And some people who think he really is a racist from Apartheid Sourh Africa cannot understand how still a big part of technologists are overlooking that fact. I think people are just disappointed in others for sticking with him.

Exactly. They sure are brilliant. But there are 30+ year old brilliant people as well…
