   This is how I learned Vim a decade ago. Highly recommend.

   Fair point. Maybe us programmers are just a class above professional engineers. Should've been a politician.

   I clicked this thinking and hoping someone saw a collision. Disappointing that wasn't the case.

   Designed a bridge that injures no-one and collapses a few hours later? 5 year suspension. Programmed a faulty flight control system that kills hundreds of people and ground all planes that use it for nearly two years? Probably a promotion,

    I disagree. I've always found HN to be a great place to discuss things like this. In fact, HN sometimes feels like one of the only places I can discuss things like this without being downvoted to hell and back. Speak your mind.

    Originally it was right more often than I expected but now I have a pretty good sense that I'm usually right.

    I've interviewed a lot of candidates over my years and technology specific information isn't something I ever look for, unless money is tight.

    I've never had a professor understand me like this. I picked up Lisp during my Freshman year when I bought SICP. If you look at my transcripts you can easily infer my mental state at the time. Some semesters all A's, others all F&

    Understandable. Yeah, I'm a dick online, it's an outlet. No hard feelings.

    Let me guess, you're autistic too?

    You said L3 so I was curious. I looked up the guy's LinkedIn [0] and honestly an L3 engineer would have a lot more context about Google's search. Danny, what do you even do? [0] https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan

    I use Yandex whenever I feel like Google is censoring something. Turns out I feel that way a lot.

    The irony of almost anyone on Earth, let alone some no-name person on HN, calling Musk a moron, is rich.

    I'm not sure why you think what you said is relevant. Also, you seem insufferable. Edit: oh, it's probably the autism.

    I don't disagree but I've been dealing with it for years now (since COVID) and nobody has seemed to be able to fix it.

    I'm currently going through interviews and I think "collaboration" and communication is a real thing WFH is missing. You say that people can collaborate real-time from any corner of the planet but that hasn't been my exp

    How were you able to soundproof it? I have an office (upstairs) that I would love to soundproof so that I don't have to wear my headphones all day.

    What kind of space did you find and how did you pitch it? The other employee lived in the same town already? I'd like to do this as well.

    And for other marriages, WFH has been a disaster. I know so many people who have ended up divorced after they were both WFH everyday.

    My dad is a dentist and he’s talked about how in his younger days he was more aggressive with his treatment and as he got older and understood more, he became less aggressive and more of a “wait and see what happens”. He’s mentioned that he
