So from the looks of it you are in a negative mind frame. Use a professional mental coach (therapist, of course, not one of those "gurus") to help you reframe. It is never too late nor you are never not good enough. But you have t

This. FFS who wants to stay home to live and work!?!? I don’t understand WFH. the right way is to have better public transport and cheaper housing, not secluded lives.

Yes, I do, but that's probably because I am not the target audience of their product. My gut feeling is that the target customer are devops teams in scaleups

Edo, what was it? For burnout or ADHD?

by MarcoSanto 4y ago
I feel you. As many here I failed to recognize burnout early enough to prevent total exhaustion. My experience (not a doc) is medication won’t help and ADHD seems to be a stereotypical American fixation almost like tomato sauce for us Itali

It'a sunken cost effect at paly, little more than that. Oh, and parents pressure, least we forget the role of family. You can test my claim empirically by asking yourself: "are all college graduates I met more intelligent than me?

Looks like the meme about the price of a bottle of water going around the internet has not reached some of us. There is no “true” price for water. Price is contextual. OP, you are in a contest for which your price is what your price is. Cha

Define interesting. Once you have that, look for companies that do that. Apply, rinse repeat. In a short while you will be in a network of like minded peers. After that you should be good. Mind you, the secret it’s people

Become the poorest in your social circle and the problem will solve itself. You are hanging out with the wrong people, that’s all. We are social animals, we don’t understand absolute values, only relative. Become poor again by changing your

I have to complete a DS/ML project to graduate a course. I would like to work on a real business case and not a made-up one. I am not sure where one takes real business cases to work on to train models. I don't think there is plac

Same problem here. Where are you located? Not US, I suppose. This sounds like something that call for its own subreddit, because, even if there might be remedial lawsuits you can bring to them, it will be expensive to litigate in US. I am a
