And in postgres soft delete is more expensive than a regular delete because it's effectively an insert and update, while delete is just an update.

If your company has 1k devs you'll have to hire several people every single week. At the same time if you want any level of consistency, you can't let teams who have not hired for 2 years come up with their own process, so that's why pipelines are a thing.


I assume most HN job posts are from small startups. Even if they are established companies with a sizable head count, it seems weird seeing the same exact job post month after month for a year or two straight.

> you can't let teams who have not hired for 2 years come up with their own process

Perhaps? We're a 9 person backend department inside a 250 person ISP. Not the typical type of team we talk about here on HN. I doubt small startups need a pipeline either, they just hire on demand.


Germany that high? Do they count fax machines as digital?


As a German, I think Estonia has to be before us with a huge lead. Their digital infrastructure is the wet dream of our bureaucratic apparatus.

I don't think the IMD is aware of just how crappy digital processes are in Germany.

A legal process that is digital literally means that you fill out an online form so they can send you the printed out paper form via snail mail and you have to redundantly fill that out again, saving overall exactly 0 seconds with the initial digital website. Not kidding.


Look where IMD is located....There is a reason why Switzerland ranks up there.


> Do they count fax machines as digital?

I'm surprised by the number of medical practices in Australia that still use fax machines for sending reports and referrals.

Ordinary email is widely not viewed as sufficiently secure to use for sending confidential patient health data (although I've seen a minority use it for that purpose anyway). There is a secure digital messaging system supposed to replace fax machines, HealthLink, which some practices use. But it is owned by a private company and costs extra $$$, and a lot of practices decide they don't want to pay it. So fax machines survive. Now running over VoIP (actually FoIP) – Australia has turned off its POTS telephone system.

They meet these metrics while they are under formal process just before termination. I used to work with a couple people clearly working multiple jobs who switched focus when they were PIPed.


If they are refocused on their job and now meeting metrics why terminate them? People can become unfocused for a variety of reasons beyond working other jobs. Life happens. If they don't remain focused and again don't meet metrics they have already been given an opportunity and should then be terminated.


Not quite, it's not a separator, you can't add arbitrary content after the dot. Dots are just ignored in Gmail, so you need to keep a map of dot placement and quantity to service, vastly less convenient.


Yes, you're right. The dots thing isn't as powerful as the + separator. But it is useful for sites that have a poor understanding (or regex) associated to their address validator. In context of the parent comment, that's the point, that the dots aren't restricted as the plus separator can be.


Live scams too.


Zendesk is not just one product, they have:

- chat stuff you can embed into your site for user support

- managed call center software

- knowledgebase management linking all the other services

- whitelabel consumer forums you can use for offloading some of the support

- a shitton of analytics

- sales CRM

- profile platform you can link to various sources of information to get info on their activity on your site, so that you can use that for support

And there is probably a few more. Sales CRM alone can be its own company.

As usual on hackernews there is a lot more to it, but you are just not exposed to it.


I'd recommend against taking any advice from Reddit, especially subreddits like:

- /r/recruitinghell

- /r/jobs

- /r/cscareerquestions

That's like asking a meth fiend for lifestyle advice. Most people there have no idea what they are talking about and never took part in recruitment on the company side, they just repeat some bullshit they were told or try to rehash some opinion pieces as universal rules.


Lidl got SAP's award for best customer a few years before admitting they have wasted half a billion on SAP implementation.

It's the same thing again.


> award for best customer

I've never heard of this. Does it mean best cash cow?


I expect nothing less from SAP


How much of that is in sales to Schwarz group + SAP only?
