Yeah I used to have a massive spreadsheet tracking the entirety of household finances. I was worried that no one would know where the money was if I suddenly died, so I started a monthly finance 1:1 with my spouse. Even wrote an "upon

Liking the smell of pine does not mean I want the smell of a pine forest fire in my house all day long. You don't see caffeine addicts rolling up coffee grounds to set fire to it, do you? There's nothing subjective about not wanti

While I agree on the withdrawal symptoms, the main differentiating point for me is that drinking coffee doesn't waste time. Marijuana consumption is one of the most unproductive things to do for leisure. I don't do alcohol for the

That depends on the other person's search pattern. I did the same and got O(n^2). :( Now I just use the hotdogs as the meeting point.

The Tesla cars are the only cars I've ever driven that can simultaneously provide one with the very best, and yet absolute dog shit driving experience. It's a weird car that I honestly don't understand. Especially when people

Okay I'm properly worrying now. I'll throw in a couple more thoughts and prayers to change the mind of Modi while at it.

Well yes, but whatever milk/water you serve in it right afterwards will still taste and smell of burnt plastic. I take it as something inevitable because no one's going to be giving a glass milk bottle to an infant. Maybe I should

I'd prefer if they kept the y-axis starting at zero for a more realistic representation.

The problem was that they only knew how to code.

What data? I never said anyone can do coding. My spouse sure can't. Code is the easiest part of the job in my company where almost everyone is a genius (sans me). But few enjoy (nor do well with) syncing project goals with other teams.

Clearly I have much more to improve on because you put it way better than I did. My communication skills are terrible.

There's a misunderstanding here due to context. Someone working in a startup (been there) will find it difficult to understand just now much communications are required to get anything done in a large MNC. Out of necessity, people who

Let me explain. Coding is the easiest because it's the most fun I get from my job. I don't have to talk to most people, I can have my alone time just writing code, cleaning it up, making it beautiful and lean, refactor as I like,

To be fair, unless you're building some low level infrastructural systems, coding is the easiest part, and code is cheap. Drop any senior dev into coding duty, and their skills return after one to two weeks. On the other hand, asking a

Firstly, fan of your company. Isn't what you described as The Slog essentially just SMEs? That's not so bad. Perpetual meteoric growth for everyone is not healthy on a macro level. Couple of friends of mine are in what you describ

I remember the good old days of having to script my own deployments on our own on-prem servers, with linter free wild west testing. It went to crap pretty easily because we were always customizing something, automating something, customizin

You just reminded me of the time I was explaining how to do consensus failover, and the interviewer asked me to do distributed single thread design. Great use of everyone's time. The market is full of LARPers who wish they had the chan

The ego here is palpable. Asking candidates to trust the first offer from a hiring manager is equally terrible advice. > I realize you don't really care about us vs Adobe, you are going for the best bid. Er yeah. It's a job. Un

Wait till you get to template configs that automatically generate fan out config files during build time. You can report it, but you can't find it. Really enhances the debugging experience.

I'm torn. Someone wearing a gigantic pair of VR goggles on a plane will indeed look ridiculous. Not too mention how obnoxious it looks. But on the other hand, if you gave me one on the plane, I'm definitely putting it on throughou

I took CS in the equivalent of a US highschool. The classes were taught by teachers ranging from 2 years experience to 15 YOE. We enjoyed (and aced) the classes from the teacher with fewer YOE. Maybe the more experienced teacher was more ja

I don't know about this. What I deem smart or dumb changes over the years. When I was a junior dev, I saw someone totally new to coding create a single static class method that did tens of thousands of lines of if else checks for a sta
