How is lmgtfy rude?


Do you respond to every comment with a question in it? No? Then why would you respond to a question in a comment with a useless reply?


You didn't answer the question, it's your reply that is useless.

This is exactly what happened.


I mean, it is just my theory. I don't have a source to back it up.


Amazon made $311B in 2024, they employ 1.5 million people.

That's $200k an employee, on top of what their regular salary is.

McDonalds made $15B and employ 150k people, that's $100k per employee.

So no, not negligible in the slightest.


Where did you get the $311B number? Because I get a net profit of $59.25B which is only 40k per employee. This assumes that the company doesn't need to keep any profit for future usage which may or may not be case depending on how big their war chest is. Not to say that 40k couldn't be life changing for many of the Amazon employee but the 311B number seems to be pulled out of thin air.


You're correct, it's wrong. I googled it, guessing AI just hallucinated that.


Are you under the impression the only expense a company has is payroll?


Profit is after costs+investments removed, not just payroll.


According to AI, they paid 5.3 billion in dividends and a have about 2 million in employees.


This sort of work culture ruined the world way more than social media ever did.


I have done real work, using a computer 10+ hours a day on every ecosystem, Windows, Linux, Mac. I've used each for ~10 years a piece.

My most recent laptop died and it really showed me what I appreciate in a laptop, performance, build quality, lightweight, good battery, low noise, good ergonomics.

I was sick of the recent overheating generation of pc laptops that don't last more than a couple years under my usage.

As a result I decided to try to switch back to a macbook after a decade hiatus.

The hardware is good but the software is absolute garbage. Trialing it for a week the amount of bullshit that is MacOS was enough, and Asahi wasn't there yet either. Instead I decided to get an AMD framework laptop.

Best decision ever.

I have a laptop that's got great quality, can be upgraded without paying a $5k tax, can replace the keyboard for $100 instead of $700, it works with me rather than against me and my wallet.


Which one did you buy? I’m also considering leaving mac just because of how slow and battery intensive the new macOS tahoe is.


https://frame.work/gr/en/products/laptop13-diy-amd-ai300/con... with the AI 7 350 because I was concerned on heat but given the choice to buy again I'd go with the HX370.


Windows 7 couldn't run Windows 7 software either.


The real wtf is that they consider $33k for four hours of 'treatment' a win.


You don't seem to have gained his respect with your engineering skills.

Publicly challenge (and beat) him in a small engineering contest, otherwise he will never respect you.

Make it time limited, eg. 3 hours to implement a specific goal with clear indicator of what is "better" as a score, ie. to avoid arguments that eg. "mines fast, mine scales". Have a neutral party pick the challenge.


This will solve nothing. Best case OP 'wins' ands the competent jerk becomes even more difficult, worst case OP 'loses' and loses any authority.

OP is being too nice. He is the team lead. His job is to lead, ands sometimes leaders have to be direct and harsh.


Lmfao at direct and harsh, that's not a leader, that's a boss. Leaders show the way, bosses tell the way, you my friend are neither.

The difference between you and me is that I've got the experience to have seen this play out multiple times, you on the other hand are making baseless assumptions.

Don't ask my rate, you can't afford it.


Sure, mate - whatever you need to tell yourself.


This conversation isn't for you, you're not a programmer, you're a developer, a modern day script kiddy.

Programmers wrote the StackOverflow answer and wrote that library.


Yeah, I used to be in the top 100 SO users, so I wrote a lot of SO answers, and if you used Red Hat Linux, you probably used my library.

But according to your definition, I'm a script kiddy.


Too bad parsing english wasn't your strong point.


This conversation is for true Scotsmen.
