Here's a great quote: Google denies wrongdoing. “Privacy controls have long been built into our services and we encourage our teams to constantly discuss or consider ideas to improve them,” spokesman Jose Castaneda said in an email.
What a scummy company. I hope the lawsuit goes forward with a commonsense approach - use the definition of incognito, not the gibberish Google hides behind.
adjective
having one's identity concealed, as under an assumed name, especially to avoid notice or formal attentions.

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” BF, 1759
Has never been more appropriate.

Analysis of data obtained over the past two weeks by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) investigation team shows the spacecraft's kinetic impact with its target asteroid, Dimorphos, successfully altered the asteroid’s orbit. I guess we're back to figuring out our own ways of making us extinct

Quote from next months news: Due to a metric conversion error, the asteroids affected by the DART impact are now on a path to collide with Earth in 2 months, NASA scientists say "It's a global killer".

Based on the impact debris, change in angular momentum, and a new barycenter of the two asteroids, this mission also changed the overall orbit of the pair. This will take longer to see but it will be seen.

Not all companies need the same skills from developers, and not all developers want to work for Big Tech. "We're all leading lives that are different and yet the same."

Quote: O'Leary says developers at larger companies are more likely to feel disconnected from their work's direct impact on their company and its customers. Is it a radical point, that if a developer feels disconnected for their work's direct impact, then maybe whatever they are doing should be, well, not done? Or to put it another way -- if the work doesn't have a direct impact, why is the work being done?

At least the folks who worked on Nasa's Dart (se item immediately above this one) has a direct impact.

Google — along with a handful of hardware and software partners — are announcing what it calls “the world’s first laptops built for cloud gaming.” If only they hadn't *just* cancelled their cloud gaming platform
But I guess nVidia and Microsoft will be happy?

Junior Engineers care about writing Software. They value code quality, employ best practices, try to adopt cutting-edge technologies. They invest a lot of time into learning new technologies. To them, the ultimate goal is to create elegant, performant, maintainable software. Because systems don't need software?

I was going to suggest $5K per year.
Your answer works well too, as I'm a good example .

I'd want a lot more than $5k/year over what the average kid who just graduated is being paid.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think it's more a matter of seeing the big picture and thinking in architectural terms. Most rookies don't do those things.
That "ultimate goal" is a good thing and shouldn't be lost but there's more to the story and learning new technologies is about the lowest of priorities.

The article lists many things that a senior engineer can do. All are important and some people will gravitate to them. A senior engineer should spend time on them if necessary, but it's also a question of specialization. If someone is really good at software, that's where they should focus their time. I get the sense that the author thinks being "senior" means being a generalist, which should not be a criterion.
