This is really cool. I could see adding this alongside the godocs to my open source projects.

It's like they asked an AI to throw together every possible flourish into a single page.


This is terrible news. As a longtime Arc user, Dia just doesn't cut it. Profiles aren't as good to use as spaces, and there's no way to share favorite tabs across profiles as there is with spaces. This is really a dealbreaker for tabs that you need to have open all day.


> Why do they even bother?

It's what they were taught in business school.


Not at a good one.


Are there good business schools?

Okay, mean, but I’ve done consulting at a Big 3 and the MBA kids are bananas. They’re incredibly hard-working but have the ethics of a second-hand Kallax that’s too wobbly to stand.


This is an old argument. Remember how all the billionaires were going to flee NYC if/when Mamdani was elected. And... then they didn't.


Well Mamdani's pied-a-tierre tax was specifically a real estate tax, levied on the real estate of people who don't have residency in the city. It's a marginal tax in the grand scheme of things, but unlike the billionaire wealth tax, it actually works, because the real estate can't move. And the owners can't just threaten to leave because they've already left, that's why the tax hits them.


He also hasn't really done anything. Mostly because he made a bunch of promises to do things he doesn't have the authority to do.


Except that several billionaires have already left California, in anticipation of this law, as the article notes.


Hand movements are fine, but the comment is right that these come off as incredibly fake.


Very cool, but yes, the form factor, which is the most crucial point, seems off.


Revenue is up massively, so we'll be getting rid of the people that helped that happen. Genius move.


This is a common strategy nowadays. Not sure of the rationale


I thought it was common knowledge that

1) there was a hiring glut during COVID-19 for SWEs [0] that is now seen as a period of overhiring

2) private equity and larger institutional shareholders are seeing their commercial property investments bleed out [1]. research points to increased (or at least not diminished) efficacy of being fully remote [2] so there's obviously a trade-off that's pushing companies to assume that risk and personally I'm not convinced that it's due to the anti-social desire by execs for high-control alone

The least cynical take I've heard about RTO is that most managers are deeply under-trained to the point of being mostly incompetent. So forcing people into the office lets them do performative performance monitoring and project management. This makes their job "easier" in that they didn't know how to do it correctly in the first place.


Most managers aren't trained at all, and there's a massive shortage of good ones.


I would contend most corporations have a lot more managers than is necessary.


It appears that the Uber executive team agrees with you!


Then the best people quit on a random Tuesday and we have all hands on why managers cannot retain top talent.

Nobody believes a single promise of a company anymore. That promo promise after a hard assignment? Yeah fuck that.


There's a CNN article that has some expert quotes for context, but isn't quite as in depth as the study itself: https://archive.ph/yBiM8
