A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sadly, "you'll never work in this city again" has been true for my entire career. What are you going to do? Walk across Main Street to the other paper?
But it has never been an editor's job to "push back on the folks who write articles," which I thought would be the worst part of that sentence; literally, rewriting is what editors do. We don't push back on staff, we push back on copy. A minor omission here, a glaring hole there, and -- as a last resort -- spiking a story until questions are answered.
No one has felt any job security in this industry for at least 15 years. "You can't say that" probably cuts both ways at this point.
