And this seems to be mostly positive feedback.

This hits home. Management has started measuring things at my workplace. They won't admit it, but I said from the start it was because they are easy to measure, not because they are useful.

Our son loved the Monorail as much as the park, and when by luck of the draw we were the first in line at one of them, he was invited into the cabin by the engineer(? conductor?) and got to "drive" one was the highlight for him for years.

The point (or at least as I read it) is that the human readability is more about the language being used.

The "necessary and sufficient" part is binary, and we're not doing that by hand any more.


> You opt in and choose what you share

Until the company gets breached and your choices mean squat. Thanks, no.


Sure, but that doesn't mean it's not pervasive.


So in office is better for you. What irks so many of us is that companies point to people like you and mandate EVERYONE be like that, because the C suite, whose entire lives and career have been built around having people around them assumes or decries that everyone either is, or should be, like them.

Or worse, the middle management is given authority to give these mandates, and are in their highest level of incompetence and use it as a "power move".


> Companies forget this.

More that they assume (or demand) the worker is going to pay this cost on their behalf.


> I love exercism. It's beautiful, works in the browser and from CLI. The lessons are really well designed. It's the perfect coding school environment.

By any chance do you also donate?


The subject is heartbreaking, but the writing is superb.
