I think either you've prompted Claude misleadingly, or it's interpreting the law unnecessarily prissily (which is a failure mode I've noticed LLMs falling into). This clearly is disclosed, otherwise how did we get to know abo

I don't understand your comment. It's poorly-punctuated, and its hard to figure out what your position is. What's a "pie hole" as a metaphor for a person? Is that what you meant?

This is overengineering taken to the max. Probably OCPD or waterfall methodology or something. While you're creating your 500+ page deck I will already be iterating and learning on my startup idea in a lean/agile way.

Do you know what "startup" means? A restaurant business isn't a startup. A consultancy isn't a startup. The whole point is to do something that does scale. VCs won't invest in something that doesn't scale, an

OK, so why did you bring up power dynamics at all? Are you saying that this won't work long-term because he'll realise that the power dynamics are the wrong way round? That's the only way I can think of that it would be relev

You can't delegate software engineering to a rando off Craigslist, especially if you're an employee. (If you're a contractor and your contract allows you to do that it's just irresponsible, if not, it's a fireable o

You have to want this though. Otherwise you're just going to be saying "you're not my boss" and "stop nagging me" repeatedly, and that's not going to be good for your relationship. I've been there.

Some of us procrastinate because we have ADHD. I hear there is a cure to ADHD procrastination, it's called quitting your job and becoming an enterpreneur, but that's a little extreme and may result in a huge loss in income and job

No, that doesn't work. It has to be a person whose job is specifically to watch you. A coworker or a subordinate - that's not their job. And frankly that would be inappropriate for them to do that, especially if they were a subord

> Is 'ghetto' racist? What would be a better word insted? It is not a word we use in this context in the UK, I think, because ghetto for us doesn't mean what it means in the US, it means Jewish ghetto in WW2, i.e. it&#x27

The good thing about my type of ADHD is I get addicted to things and then lose interest in them. TikTok is no longer exciting for me now, now that I am just using it for live DJs and checking out the videos my best friend shares with me and

I can see therapy working well for someone who has unprocessed trauma or depression, but I have ADHD, and my ADHD specialist has told me that the medicine part is for the symptoms, and the future therapy part of the treatment is for unlearn

People are saying the original post is weird but honestly I think this is weirder. There is no way I could do this. You must be super-extroverted to be willing to let it all hang out publicly, warts and all.

The bar for what is considered "problematic power dynamics" among the woke and/or left seems to be getting lower and lower. Recently I've seen the claim that a meetup organiser shouldn't flirt with meetup attendees,

That's a really rather rude and uncalled-for response. Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed or something?

Not necessarily. It depends how much your employer cares about confidentiality. If you work at a bank like I do, then 100% yes. But if you work at some social networking site like Facebook, as this guy apparently does... realistically is so

In reality, these days, software engineers train on the job to a large extent too. If your employer uses a dozen different technologies - languages, frameworks, tracing frameworks, infrastructure providers - which isn't at all unreason

New technologies face the same risk when unproven. Capitalism has a simple solution to that - people just stop buying them if they turn out to be worse than what was on offer before. In the future, genetic enhancements will be available in
