As per theverge article, they did nothing when anti-semitic memes and jokes were being posted by their employees.
So what can we take away from this? Github's "professional conduct at workplace" and "diversity" is complete farce.
I'm ready to move to bitbucket after this incident. When you promote people who share hatred, this means the company at the top probably also shares the same vision.
This is a PR disaster for github and there is NO WAY I can support github going forward.
Once again, somebody has flagged every single criticisms of Github's original decision. Is this Github doing damage control? I'm going to move our team completely off github now.
I love that bitcoin maximalists have now become the ire of the global warming movement. Quite fitting as it literally is the ponzi scheme of our generation helping criminals launder their money. History will not be kind to those who pushed shitcoins, I personally would never ever hire someone who've been associated with such outfit.
Yes primarily to build a mobile app but I want to be able to have a web version as well. I guess I want to understand what the overall experience has been using Flutter with Amplify as that seems to be the winning combo, although I am open minded.
I've used React/Redux before and couldn't help but feel that it was over-engineered sort of like micro-service architecture but to each his own.
You pretty much described Vancouver, BC. One of the lowest average salary in North America, expensive housing, and normalized exploitation of labor. Fake positivity is just the cultural fact of life here and I think it hurts productivity.
We all know that because housing is so scarce, having a job or not can mean you have a roof over your heads or not. It's really disgusting the way they treat workers here. So of course there is going to be a Stockholm syndrome effect here.
Won't pay the market price but want the best. From what I've heard from insiders, they all do "surveys" with each other to fix wages since the 2000 dot come bubble collapse. The Vancouver Model is essentially: underpay your workers, demand the best and increase margins.
Then they wonder why we can't be like Silicon Valley. Most startups here get acquired by pre-primary market and very few ever IPO thus rendering stock options worthless.
It's no wonder that there is a massive brain drain going on and that startups here consist mostly of immigrant workers. I'm sure in some scale the exact same thing is taking place in SV but at least Indian engineers are making far more than what they would here in the Florida of Canada.
I found a lot of this behaviour in Victoria BC too. Similar enough and geographically close enough I guess.
Funny you should mention Florida though, because I recently was working with a team from there and their culture was also absolutely the "work on weekends and PTO" variety.
My theory is the instagram effect. People actually believe what they see is real and so the people living in those instagram photos believe i the "fake it till you make it" toxicity.
Still there is this weird cognitive dissonance amongst software engineers in non-FANG companies that union is somehow bad and that preventing people working over the weekend for free is detrimental to the industry.
It's good to see Microsoft still keeping up the good fight.
"Dont be evil" seems like a distant alternative universe...
