I’m on the extreme end. Any kind of “recommendations” are an immediate and complete turn off for me. Not just the obvious stuff like “sponsored” posts or “algorithmic social media” feeds. I abhor and avoid even things like Spotify recommendations, which most people consider useful.

Whether they intend it or not, these engines are built to funnel you back into the lowest common denominator, most broadly appealing stuff, because that’s what the algorithm sees gets the most clicks from the average person. Sure, everyone likes oatmeal, but that’s because its bland and inoffensive.

I want to find my own shit through my own idiosyncratic process.

Reading a physical newspaper is lovely. Highly recommend.

To reinforce the shift in company culture toward “empowering and rewarding every employee to find security issues, report them,” and “help fix them,” Smith said that Nadella sent an email out to all staff urging that security should always remain top of mind.

Yeah that ought to do it.

Nope.

“If you don’t like it don’t fly”

Seriously just shut up.

Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.

Life is an endless prisoner’s dilemma.

I did on Friday and within 5 mins they suspended me and reverted them all. I knew they would so I didn’t care - I just did it so they’d see as many unhappy users as possible.

I then deleted my account of over 10 years with over 50k reputation. Fuck stackoverflow.

They’re not trying to help you. They’re trying to selfishly protect their business.

How did you get an invite?

It sounds like you’ve got a good manager, so hopefully they won’t hold that against you. This is the reality of oncall - it sucks!

When you get woken up in the middle of the night, of course you’re going to be more tired the next day. I’m the same as you - I can’t fall back asleep if its early morning so I normally just stay awake and am tired that day. You shouldn’t feel guilty for being at 1/2 capacity after working all night to solve your employer’s problems!

I tell my engineers - if you get paged off hours, however much time you spend resolving the issue, take that time back from the next workday.

I also practice what I preach - if I get paged at 3am and work on the issue until 5am, I’ll come in 2 hours late or leave 2 hours early.

Probably just someone at Microsoft trying to get promoted.

Its not a tech issue, its a finance issue.

The tech industry has always been highly speculative. What we saw in the 2010s was only made possible through venture capital and high digital advertising budgets.

Now that there’s uncertainty and investments are expensive due to high interest rates, VC and advertisers are pulling back. As a result, we’re seeing a bunch of business models that have never been viable on their own have to try and support themselves for the first time.
