|
<p>There is being not-so-nice, being an asshole, and being Facebook.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>While taking a lot of information from everyone on the web, now they are
|
||
|
|
protecting <em>their</em> people instead of "people who work for Facebook". The idea
|
||
|
|
is obvious: While we may look nice to our people, paying for stay-at-home
|
||
|
|
and/or medical help, whoever is not in our payroll must keep the gears going.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Maybe that's not true. Maybe it is just hearsay. Maybe it's just bad
|
||
|
|
propaganda. The problem, though, is that Facebook reputation makes this sounds
|
||
|
|
true.</p>

|
<p>I've been doing this argument at the office (well, both offices, I'm
|
||
|
|
outsourced, anyway) for some time: Companies may want to have senior
|
||
|
|
developers 'cause they don't want to train anyone, but there are no senior
|
||
|
|
developers available around. Why? Because senior developers are either doing
|
||
|
|
remote work, getting paid in some foreign currency (and heck if the current
|
||
|
|
exchange rates for the major currencies doesn't make it worth it), or they
|
||
|
|
have some very comfortable position in their companies.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So it's time to train people, not look for people with lots of knowledge which
|
||
|
|
you won't find anyway.</p>

|
<p>At this point, everybody knows how to work-from-home, right? RIGHT?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>No? So here are some tips.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Some of them is almost "well known" at this point -- some of them I've heard a
|
||
|
|
long time ago -- but I guess repeating is not that bad.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Still on the topic of remote work and work-from-home, maybe you're actually
|
||
|
|
responsible for managing a team that's going to be remote. So not only you
|
||
|
|
you're working remote, you have to manage a team remotely. So maybe a free
|
||
|
|
book could help you with some tips on how to do it.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Using <code>build.rs</code> to generate tests -- at least, the easy ones, in which you
|
||
|
|
have an input and an output.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>A project to bring window tiling to GNOME Shell.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I've trying a few, including
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/">gTile</a>, but never felt
|
||
|
|
really comfortable.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Now there is another plugin claiming they can do tiling on the shell.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It even allows focusing windows using <code><Super></code> + <code><Direction></code>, which is one
|
||
|
|
of the really good things with i3.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>In a world where everything has a battery and almost everything is in the web,
|
||
|
|
checking how much the pages are using of energy is really important.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And it seems WebKIT-based browsers have an inspector for checking this.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>The times are not happy. Some companies doesn't seem to be able to survive the
|
||
|
|
slowing of the economy. So better to be prepared than sorry.</p>

<h1 id="stop-apologizing-for-bugs"><a href="https://blog.danslimmon.com/2019/08/02/stop-apologizing-for-bugs/">Stop apologizing for bugs</a></h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The point is: If there is a bug, or if you're responsible for a bug, don't
|
||
|
|
find excuses for it to exist.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I'd go a step further and say "Don't defend bad code".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Bugs happen, sure. Some of them are not intentional, but if we keep finding
|
||
|
|
excuses for them -- there wasn't enough time, people were in crunch time, we
|
||
|
|
were not aware of this requirement -- then we'll never worry about making
|
||
|
|
things better.</p>
