I recently started a new job and it goes a bit like this: the 5 weekdays I average about 11 hours per day (office time only, no commute). My commute is about 45/50 minutes in total (2 ways). I usually spend at least 2-3 hours on each w

I tried to read this article, I really did. I tried to read the comments and to be emphatic. I really tried. I just do not feel pitty or any empathy towards anyone in the comments, or the author. I think I am emphatic towards the people I l

I read your wall of text. You make some interesting points. But I will be honest with you: I also used to think like you, in these long convoluted ways where I was trying to explain everything I saw via programming and all sorts of mathemat

It's not a side project, it's a production database owned by a company... I hope I never have to use products you buils either...

The maturity of the article is laughable. I'm sure my age is the same as the people who wrote it, but this is unacceptable: dropping databases in prod is a serious issue, not a joke. I think the culture of the company is toxic and not

I think the author is arrogant and closed minded. He underestimates the levels of complexity of software systems and strives for some utopian "elegance of design" which I think doesn't exist. The only thing which matters is t

Why is that not surprising? Maybe we are used to different types of technology companies though.

It's funny how most people think that 1000 out of 4600 employees having admin access is "not misleading" and counts as a "limited" group. It shows how in the public mind, technology groups should not be held account

Nonsense. It's just a data subscription service. Are you speaking from experience or you are just trying to virtue signal ?

I hope this is the final nail in the coffin of Silicon Valley: this place has been, very well deservedly until 2010-2015 but completely undeservedly after that, at the top of VC's investment list. But nothing innovative is coming out
