They all await the miracle of “vesting” (*)

Very simple. It’s 16 hour work days. Six of those hours, each day, is dedicated to a vain attempt at fixing the garbage code they wrote during the preceding 10 hours on the previous day — all the while tweaked on industrial quantities of Monster.

Engineering firms, which have a financial liability for their output, will not accept using any software product for which there isn’t a bright line of lawyers and service level agreements to follow.

Jason Chaffetz, who signed that document, was one of the folks who voted to cut the budget. His motives may not exactly be pure.

Famously, the result of Republicans cutting the budget for US embassy security.

Jensen has stated he has 55 direct reports. Assuming this holds throughout, the max height of a 55-ary tree with 29K nodes can be calculated with:
floor(log55((29000-1)(55-1)+1))+1

Which is 4 levels of hierarchy for the whole org.

No idea how true that is though. But it’s fun to extrapolate!

You’re slipping. That’s a high-quality fact right there.

Instead, they need to pay for private insurance to get any sort of health care coverage at all.

As a part of my Canadian taxes, I pay into the health services, which I can use if I need. Americans pay similar amount as a part of their taxes, for health services they _cannot_ use, either because they’re not veterans, government employees, elderly or poor.

Around 33% of the US Federal taxes go towards Medicaid, Medicare, government employee health care and VA benefits. Ignoring state taxes, the average US tax payer pays about the same ballpark amount as the average Canadian, for health care programs they may never make use of.

And that’s just in taxes, _before_ they pay for private insurance.

Motivated reasoning is a hell of a thing: flatearth.ws/behind-the-c...

It largely depends on how the deployment is scheduled. At one 3D software company I worked at, we had a rotating support engineer of the month, doing essentially the same thing. Triage incoming, fix vexing customer issues, keep the build farm running. We did daily multi-platform builds though.
