If ypu do those for 15 years you are likely in management

how many managers would have to exist per worker? especially given the demographics these days, with fewer and fewer children being born.

Maybe in hacker news reality, not in the real world.

I do electrical work and have looked at data for my last 3 companies.

10 years in you should be a foreman or something is wrong.

Some guys choose to do joruneyman work, but they typically have the option if they're not mute or something. It's a choice ij my experience (They like OT or working alone or hate travel)

Correct. Dozens or hundreds of workers for every manager or foreman.

There's also a lot of owner/operator one-man shops.

Consider the turnover rate as an geometric series.

Also 1 foreman in the electrical field runs effectively 50 guys max if good, and smaller sites might be 10 men to a foreman. I currently have 3 foreman running 5 to 6 guys each at my current company (2 close sites of 3)

50:1

10:1

Big range, but still a lot of workers for every foreman.

(Father in law did 35yr in carpentry and teaching job corps)

It's really not the ratio but the turnover. Guys who aren't making it up into leadership self select after 5 years or so.

The ratios seem unbelievable to those in tech, but I'm just saying you're unlikely to make it to 10 years without having at least the opportunity for some leadership.

> make it to 10 years without having at least the opportunity for some leadership.

Maybe if that person is young and hasn't done real work.

The best ICs are often horrible managers, it's a different career. Same applies idea here. Or just don't want to put up with the bullshit, the fights, the showing up drunk to work, or missing tools, etc.

I don't know if I buy the idea that using the vendor parts as examples given in the article align with the analogy.

Architecture is not that; MEP trades aren't architecture. If she used prefabbed wall assemblies or didn't do her own structural for critical parts the analogy would hold (I so not know if she did or did not either way). Plumbing is a completely separate trade the way trading stocks is separate from computing; it just happens to live in the house.

That sounds mysterious and important

What does it mean, really? I see it used more like catalyst or enablar than momentum storage. I'm still unsure.

>Domestic violence is an obvious line to set

is it? the example given for things implied to disallow are playful pinching/punching.

Even the author's implied choice of line is suspect here.

> Ruben, Lou’s boyfriend, playfully pinches her, then playfully punches her, then seriously pinches her, then seriously punches her, and so on. Each time she convinces herself that her domestic abuse line wasn’t crossed, ultimately leading to her getting full-on abused.

If I start by not liking playful pinches and said so, you should stop doing them. That is the initial situation. But in this (made up) story, she moves then line and tolerates them, because he is not stopping and she does not see it as a red flag.

If you think someone might be a DV risk that seems like a reasonable line as long as your expectations are clear.

Not sure if you're being genuine but a playful punch is absolutely a thing, example: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_91jzDH4V5Q

I'll know it when I see it

Presumably the usage of humans stays relatively constant and costs for infrastructure increase 5 to 10x.

Just means you just pay out 1/10th as much per traffic; you already had some estimator for signal to noise measuring buying likelihood. It's just gonna drop

Sketches are great for quick ideas. I don't think the drawings replace them for quickly running through prototypes.

I got sketches from architects probably weekly for a ~500 unit hotel (I'm on the electrician end). It worked out okay, but it didn't substitute for the BIM later
