I lean towards the one with the best distribution model, what can reach the largest audience without unnecessary layers, since the language particulars aren't all that important except in endless bike shedding.
and that would be JS.
Unless you need to do something more interesting than a browser will allow.
well, when they convert the bulk of their stuff to go, if the plan works, and the theory is correct, then they can hire something more like a laborer instead of an engineer.
The main thing is that they are so huge, they can afford such experiments. I don't put much faith in that approach outside of a huge organization, and the jury is still out internally.
And given their shift to no brainteasers and no degree, and diversity and other non skill based focus, and sheer number of employees, the bar may not be set where you think it is these days. Hell it might not be much harder than stating your political beliefs (assuming you have the right political beliefs) based on recent cultural evidence.
On the other hand, I don't think anyone accused slack, with multi-megabyte webpages and even worse mobile app, of being a great experience. I think I used it once, and said no more.
I've met only a few programmers IRL that complained about slack, and even then it was for ideological reasons, not user experience reasons. Everyone else, most programmers and all non-programmers I know like the user experience.
I haven't had any real issues with desktop or mobile apps either.
I use Slack for work, and while it was an order of magnitude better than the dumpster-fire of Hipchat (which it replaced for our team), I still think that the interface is kind of "meh".
Custom emojis are fun, inline markdown is useful, but it takes a lot of memory for something that, to me, seems like it should be lightweight. We've had IM since the 80's, after all. There's a part of me that has a visceral reaction to seeing an IM client taking more than 100mb of memory (though to be fair they seem to be getting improving that a lot.
The Electron-ness and memory usage of the app on desktop are certainly annoying, but the UX is still far better than any terminal-based or open source GUI for IRC. It was better than HipChat when my company moved to Slack 4 years ago.
Overall Slack is a net UX improvement over everything that came before.
I'm not sure what about the experience you had a concern about. Slack is the de facto user experience standard right now, with everyone from discord to teams copying it.
They do. Non-engineers just tend to blame the age/quality of their company issued hardware rather than the problematic software causing performance issues.
you can stare at the sun to be more productive when viewing the sun as well. /s
No, I don't buy the green screen argument, any more than the randomness of paper being somewhat white and ink being in contrast to that. Certainly white on black is useful in astronomy, the stuff you are interested in is lit. This article was such a wall of text, I don't know if it ever supported its conclusion very well, which is ironic for an article promoting "productivity".
some of don't really care who reads it, just that it is available. This gaming of everything is not necessarily a good thing. Is your article about programming or something, or is it about attention whoring?
Personally I'm not gaming my sites for personal attention so much as I'd like people that do stumble on my content to have a positive experience. A lot of SEO metrics do reflect a user's experience.
Is it fast? Am I writing well enough that people can follow my instructions, debates, etc? Did I have a hard time finding information or additional sources on a problem?
Things like canonical links are personally important to me for other reasons. I do use the analytics of my blog for personal improvement. If people are bouncing off a page after getting there with relevant search terms maybe that post needs to be re-written or my assumptions were wrong.
Ultimately though, if you're writing a blog and posting it on the internet rather than just keeping a personal journal at some point you've got to be expecting to get something out of that. I don't think you have to jump to "attention whoring" as a motive though.
but everything included, so that is basically 35k, tax free, or in a lower tax bracket since so much of the compensation is non monetary, purely disposable.
LDS net worth 67 billion,
vatican, 30 billion
etc. etc.
Obviously there are extremes on the other end, but for those with 45k disposable income, who can make investments and own land, no "vow of poverty" should be assumed either.
the bureau of labor statistics lists the mean salary for clergy as $50k, with a range of $25k to $80k as well.
The LDS and Catholic Church asset values aren't really helpful, the clergy don't have a piece of that. There are a small number of admins, surely, who get to live in some nice buildings, but that's about it.
Again, $45K is not 'tax free'.
A 25-80K salary range is fairly meagre for the United States.
You're making my point for me: this is not a career for those who're aspiring to make a ton of money.
granted this is a textual representation (very useful in certain circumstances) but that is semantics. Having done plenty of assembly, I don't see a huge distinction here.
