  • If it’s not a 32hr workweek, I don’t wanna hear about it. There are some jobs in tech on indeed that are advertising 4x10s, fuck that shit.

    This article specifically states 4x32. So that’s good. Should be in the title but I’m a pedant.

    Everyone should, every job should be able to take advantage of this. Hire more people to compensate.

    Billionaires don’t want this, so I’m super pessimistic. But if we keep talking about it and pushing for it, maybe someday…

    Edit: 4x8 not 4x32…



  • I find that communication is an underrated skill among software engineers

    The problem, which is sometimes too common, is if they have too good communication skills combined with lacking technical skills. These are the ones that BS their way up the ladder, while screwing over the people that count on them, because their code sucks (the actual important part, for a SW engineer).

    But yeah if you’re both good technically and a communicator, you’re pretty damn valuable. Personally, I’d be willing to muscle through terrible comm skills if the technical talent that matters was there.
