I have a similar story, but it was my first programming job, and it wasn't a cake-walk to get it, so for myself I simply couldn't imagine doing much better. And to be honest, after quitting, I haven't. I'm at least healt

I would definitely hire them. I don't see it as a lack of commitment, rather he/she just understands the value of their time. 24 hours of labour is NOT 60% of a full work week, especially for a knowledge worker. It's a big gr

I stocked up on this new limited edition Eggo cereal, as it is the spiritual successor to the long forgotten Waffle Crisp, the #1 cereal from my childhood. Honey Comb simply does not compare, don't even bother mentioning it. If thing

Being anti-Veblen is not the reason I dislike Behringer. It's not so black and white when it comes to cloning or replicating original designs of the past. It can be done tastefully. Behringer does not do their clones with integrity.

Isn't that the point though? That sweeping things under the rug in order to save face is what allows these issues to spiral out of control.

Facebook is really big so lets treat it as such, and look at things piece by piece. Start with treating Facebook's NEWS FEED as a newspaper perhaps, then move on to other problems like hate groups using facebook to organize, marketplac

Been there. Anecdotally, a good indicator of a feature factory is the turnover in marketing, a particularly gruelling department to be in when you are not finding any consistency with the message you've been tasked with communicating.

It's nice working on any well known product really. I spent 3 years with a tiny startup doing enterprise software, and I can hardly even explain it to other employers, because hell, not even my own boss knew what he was trying to sell.

I think brining usenet back is problem solving in reverse. Usenet will not bring back the joys of early internet, but attempting to revive an old technology through the collaboration of other curious and passionate people certainly will.

I honestly never noticed I was scheduling my time in half-days or even full days, but it's so true for myself. I would've thought it was some sort of anxiety thing, but having plans several hours away in my schedule is extremely d

I'm pretty apprehensive about this "callAsFunction()" feature. Requiring users to name things in a specific way was the kind of awful UX our customers struggled with when using our hobbled-together marketing software. IMO, so

The answer to both questions is yes. A bootcamp helped me because it put me into a collaborative environment where I had some kind of obligations to show up and complete projects. Ultimately, you really only need side projects. I'm act

As a native iOS developer I will gladly help you answer some of these questions if you want to provide more specifics on what you're looking to do. Could you reply with your email, or put it in your HN profile? Or just elaborate here?

The problem is propaganda. Climate change is the victim. Even staples of modern life, like vaccines, can be sullied by the private interests of the ultra wealthy/politically affluent.

Two days ago, on my way home from an errand, I made the mistake of entering the subway at a digital-only entrance. Tap payment only. The fare box is shuttered up permanently, leaving me at a loss as to who I'm supposed to show my paper

The communication failure begins with management. Don't blame the employees if there are no mechanisms/systems/processes in place to report your managers. You're right, it will build up a grudge that gets launched uphill

You're not wrong, but I'm considering it a luxury outside the real of automotive. I've been working full time as software developer for 3 years and I cannot afford a Cybertruck. Not even close lol.

Strongly agree. Elon Musks' $40k USD Cybertruck reveal was one of the first times in years it felt like our present was making some kind of headway into the future, but while also being accessible to common people ($40k truck is still

Cohen is right. It's total nonsense Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc. can not and are not algorithmically remove hate speech and dangerous lies. If they can detect a nipple, they can detect a nazi.

I was asked to implement "passive data analytics", so our iOS app could soak up data on age, gender, etc. I put in my notice the following Friday. That was almost a month ago. Currently struggling with the realities of unemploymen

I wish that were more believable, but we're living in an extremely unbelievable timeline.
