Right. I have a skill set from a previous job that I don't use anymore. I could get hired tomorrow to do that job again but I have no interest in it. I guess if we are saying highly skilled people can find another job then I agree but

It's absolutely changed that much in since the 80s. For humans? Not that much. For tiny animals and bugs? Small change is massive change.

There are far less bugs than there were 50+ years ago. Without bugs birds and other small animals have to struggle more to eat. Work that all the way up the food chain. Its very sad and it will only get worse.

Exactly this. You can be the best Physical Security - Spacecraft Engineer (making up a title obviously) on the planet who can make sure no unauthorized entities get into a spacecraft but if you piss off the 5 people who run spacecraft compa

But... most Coaches, continuing the locker room analogy, are not good athletes. It's incredibly rare for them to be as skilled as the folks they are coaching and its very likely they were never as skilled as the people they are coachin

To reiterate what the comment above you was saying... Putting words on paper is easy. Putting "good" words on paper is hard or editing the words you put on paper so they are "good" is hard. Use whatever definition of &qu

What impresses me is that many of these cathedrals were built slowly over many many years. Sometimes hundreds of years. Each new king or ruler would start a new "wing" of the cathedral and many times the construction would outlive

Most managers are bad because most managers core skills are not management. Many engineers complain about non technical background managers but many people will note that even managers with technical backgrounds skills soon become irrelevan

Was trying to find a friends address to send them a surprise gift. It was weird how easy it was.

Exactly. I said outside of the NFT community. Owning a rare baseball card meaning nothing to the average person. As does owning an nft.

Sounds like classic gatekeeping to me. Do you get to decide what is a POC and a product? What qualifies something to be one over the other? Tests? Some other technical aspect that feels "producty"? While you are busy building slow

Has anyones status been raised by owning a specific NFT (outside of the NFT ecosystem)? No. Maybe they could sell it for an amount of money that raises their status elsewhere but at this point in time the answer is no. Is owning a rare base

So 1x devs exist? I agree.

by Taylor_OD 5y ago
I guess this all depends on your definition of 10x. It sounds like you are saying 10x the average person rather than 10x the average person who works in that field. I'm a 10x developer if we count non developers. I am not if we could p

Another thumbs up for darknet diaries. I love the show. The host balances technical talk and telling a story incredibly well and he covers all types of stories. Really anything "hacking" related you can think of there is probably

I'm not 100% sure but for former NSA folks I think that is pretty great. I don't think the NSA pays all that well. At least not if you are used to fang salaries.

Okay so its not laptops at the campsite that bother you its consumerism at the campsite?

Yikes. I was with you until this comment. It may be worth it but you're not likely to get a lot of support with that level of... hutzpah.

Does your enjoyment of the campsite require everyone to be enjoying it the same way you are? Why do you care if some person is coding away while your walk by their campsite?

100% this. Interview use is often just a default thing to do to fill time when one is bored.

This is great and easy for companies that have great brand recognition and interested candidates like automattic and basecamp. This doesnt really work when people don't give a shit about your company and you're asking them to work

Just taking all social media apps off your phone and having a complex password that makes it difficult to sign into their webapps are a huge step. Not having your social media of choice a finger press away helps a lot. It's easier to g

> I get it, a lot of people hate Amazon and that perfectly ok, but why can't we be happy when companies do nice things? I don't think you get it. If someone took a big shit on my lawn every morning and refused to stop or clean

Sure. If we want to expand the definition of work then I work every hour of the day. Some of that work is for my employer, some of that work is for my family, some of that work is for me. Most people don't enjoy spending 70 hours a wee

MGTOW is not actually about men going their own way. The subreddit, pre banning, was primarily bitching about women.

TSA jobs cant go away now that they exist. They probably never will. It will look bad for whatever president that does it because they will eliminate jobs and "national security" checks. Everyone knows its a joke but we will keep

Is it very likely that a project, I'm assuming no one works on this full time or at least gets paid to work on it full time, could afford to license a major franchise from a larger company?

Often folks who make these mods are young or based somewhere outside of the US. Not that there couldnt be a job for them but its not all that likely that there would be a role that would actually be a good fit skill wise and location wise i
