Yes, it is. Sorry if you can’t read deeply into it or something. I’m not posting for grad students. I can sense you just like to correct people. Ahhhh I’m so wrong, you’re right?

Well, I beg to differ. Firstly I believe you should be paid more but that is an aside. I also don’t think that what I wrote is an ad-hominem. It’s the truth. “ I feel like we live in a nightmarish hellscape where a significant portion of wo

Feel free to disagree again: I think you’re either being unclear with your definition of enjoyment and love, or you are perhaps confused between the two. Which isn’t to say you aren’t having positive feelings at your job, I think that’s pos

Well, I have developed IP myself. Emphasis on myself. Half the time dragging along people down a path they can’t see. I’m not sympathetic or empathetic to anyone doing the same because in generally they’re doing so from a perspective of hav

Disclosure: I won’t say what I do. You should really consider things from a “what can humans perceive” standpoint. There are things you can do with ML and eye saccades that you will literally never see because of perceptual delay. If I c

Ideally someone would value your creativity or recognize the value in paying you enough to do a task that has value to them while also giving you time and space to work on the things which are valuable to you. We can all be paid more and wo

It’s because of the extreme amount of contracting, outsourcing, and in general “I don’t care how our developers or admins feel, we can always hire more”. This stuff is all incredibly for profit and the software getting worse isn’t going to

I made a bet in 2016 that AMD would overtake Intel. I’m still owed $100 on that.

The simulation stuff is just “Plato’s Cave”:Reloaded for people who never understood the concept of the cave in the first place. At a basic level you can interpret it from Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, which state that systems of logic n

You can’t really learn Math at school. Not really from the perspective of understanding mathematical beauty deeply. I wish there was an outlet or means to do so. I always found schooling to be woefully inept at assisting in learning the cra

I would like to say yes but the reality is no. If you would like to talk about it I don’t mind. I have decided that I’m going to engage people on a more limited basis because no one seems to want actually discuss the topic at hand.

I’m going to respond to you directly and clearly. I dislike posts like this: they’re low effort and accusing someone of ill behavior because they have an opinion you don’t share is a cheap shot at best. I’m trying to be charitable here an

“ ...you're on Hacker News.” Am I? I know that’s the name but it’s not really for hackers. It’s mainly for businesspeople who are very sensitive, don’t really know much of anything beyond their desk job or coding and don’t care much fo

Yes that’s called enjoying making money. It’s not love. Why is that confusing to so many people?

See that’s actually a brilliant idea. Have a series of products, actors, musicians, and sign them all together onto similar platforms. I bet Amazon could do it. You would only see these actors using these certain types of products and appea

Ok but that’s assuming I have empathy for investors; I do not.

“ The money is meant to fuel their creations.” I’ve never seen this in practice. It’s usually to fuel buying some big house that no one normal could ever afford and then acting like you were granted a lordship. I am more than happy to chang

It’s my perspective. I think that money is toxic and demeaning. You won’t change my perspective on that.

Uh, it’s not love if you’re doing it for money. It’s work. You might enjoy the feeling of getting paid but that’s not love.

Hey you know, it’s a good thing! This helps you not be attached to the past, and let’s be honest here… people make things for money, not love or art. Otherwise they wouldn’t copyright it.

Yes, it is. But not as education. It’s just an expensive stamp of approval one must receive to work with certain institutions. You pay the institutions for the stamp, fill out worksheets for children and write papers for no one for 4 years

It became the default because going to college was the way to show you were a “high status” person. The people with “high status” will constantly “rethink” anything that challenges it. Personally this article comes off as classist and that

I have read the guidelines. Could you tell me where it says “don’t make jokes”? The guidelines aren’t rules, they’re guidelines. Otherwise they would be called rules. You can’t break a guideline, to wit. I think you’re really overestimating

Waterfall and Agile are tools. If you need to hang a photo, a hammer and a nail. Cut down a tree? Maybe not the hammer and the nail.

Because it filters out the people who do all of category B (bullshitting, talking, having meetings) who normally spend their time taking away from category A (I am paid to do a task which I will do, and then be paid)

On the other side of that: I am forced to go to work so that I don’t die basically. I don’t use it as a social occasion and in general all of the tedious people who either can’t make friends or have an enjoyable life on their own time, get
