Did a leader in your organization ask you to switch tooling and you declined?
I work in an organization where we cut deployment bugs in angular by a shocking 40% by consolidating our teams tooling into a consistent set of standards. If a developer started with us who after hearing this wouldnt agree to conform to those standards we would terminate them as quickly as possible.
No. No one asked me that. In fact, they are pretty easy going in terms of what tools a developer chooses.
Which is why its so crushing that he said "we have to let you go, because I do not believe you will handle the tooling we choose six months down the line"
I mean.... are this future toolings going to be brought down from aliens???
Came here to share this as well Superset doesn’t have quite the cult following as tableau or other tools but the project has come really far since its inception and is quite robust
Basically came here to say this. The whole article felt very silly until I was like “oh wait OP stated early on he works at google… yeah seems about right ~closes tab~”
Insomnia lead me to go dig into the repo… the average age of 98% of files in node_modules is 10 months old, attached to the commit when most of these files were added to the repo in the first place… so the entire argument is predicated on the changes to 2% of the dependencies
I would tack on to this and say the post is talking about homelessness restricted to the microcosm of san francisco while John Oliver is trying to discuss it more broadly. the author contends that the “just give them housing” argument is debunked which is true but also not. these types of efforts didn’t succeed in the bay area but helped states like utah and new mexico decrease homelessness to the tune of something like 90%.
this feels somewhat like an unnecessary take down of an exposes that broadly does a good job talking about some of the challenges and solitions.
our company does M&A tech evaluation for companies and every now and then we run into medical software companies, the results more often than not are sad for everyone. Our experience has been that the companies are generally very well tooled up and organized to have conversations with HIPAA auditors where if we weren’t part of the evaluation they would be free and clear. But because we are in the conversation and because of our evaluation methods (most of which are hands on, fun fact most HIPAA auditors will never touch your system in any way) we generally end up with results that show companies have over invested in business process teams and under invested in best in class engineering to bring that business process to market in an industry best process kind of way.
