Autism rule

Yeah I am married to an autistic person and they think that they are being explicit and clear but are absolutely not. It harms their relationships all over the place and they are constantly thinking less of other people over it.

When you have this problem communicating with everyone, you’re the problem.

Password length requirement

This is my biggest pet peeve. Password policies are largely mired in inaccurate conventional wisdom, even though we have good guidance docs from NIST on this.

Frustrating poor policy configs aside, this max length is a huge red flag, basically they are admitting that they store your password in plan text and aren’t hashing like they should be.

If a company tells you your password has a maximum length, they are untrustable with anything important.

Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages?

This is called an identity first workflow and is used specifically so that they can route different people to different login ceremonies or providers.

They get your id first, and use that id to determine what your login ceremony is. Perhaps you’re with a business that they have an sso integration with and will send you on to your businesses sso provider, or perhaps you’re a local user for them and get a password screen next.

Interviews

Maybe an alternate perspective, but I do a lot of interviews for technical roles like developers, product owners, architects, etc.

There’s often a perception that the role can be done isolated at a desk grinding on tasks, but that is often not the case. It’s easy to find people who will do task work, but really hard to find people who are capable communicators and empathizers with the people they will be working with. At the end of the day, we’re trying to fill the roles with someone who we can trust alone in a room with a customer, and not someone who will be alone in a room doing tasks.

Why is the herd mentality so common on Lemmy?

Could just be a consequence of a less ideologically diverse user base to start with.

I’m so upset about (privacy, reddit, corporatism, etc, etc) that I’m prepared to leave my large online social networks for a smaller space on principle is probably a bit of an outlier position to take.

Not that it’s wrong, but it’s probably something we all agree on. Something out there is so fucked up we refuse to be a part of it on principle, even if we don’t fully agree on what that is.
