Yeahhh; I feel this. I'm in the office 4-5 days a week again; and the rare days where most of my day ends up being in-office only interactions are great. The quick catchups in the hallway; not either forced catchups that always happen

I wish I had the time, because it would be fun. Back when I DID have time, I actually got that thug1 source code almost playable on Windows. That source code was only for the console versions, and the code assumed if it was compiling for wi

I think the core problem you have is a lack of consistency. I'd try to trim down the number of different types of device/deployment methods/etc you have. It's too hard to scale wide as a single person or two, but you can

This is so sad and well written. Lars is one of the best people I've ever met, no one should have to go through that, especially not him.

Similarly they offer very little support, almost no communication, and yeah, just kind of weird.

I don't work at Amazon, but my C-suite and leadership team is in the office and that really makes a HUGE difference in going back. Both by them leading by example and getting to have the face to face time with them.

This is much nicer for other people coming into this. It's the same problem with spoken language and slang, slang is better if you know it, worse if you don't.

This is one of the bigger discussions I've been involved with lately; and I agree it really comes down to "bespokeness". When you have a 'system' which is 500 LOC, and 10 usages of that system totaling 10 lines each

I suspect there's probably a decent compromise to be made, like some kind of "reconcile" command, that explicitly tries to find orphan resources that reference resources it knows about, and tries to rebuild state.

Similarly I was 'online' much more during my teen years than I am today. I think two key things changed: 1. I started enjoying things outside of the internet more and more, partially due to how the internet has changed, partially

Agreed, I'm curious as well. We load tested with real-clients faux-users, up to 1 million concurrent. And only stopped at 1 million because the test was becoming cost prohibitive.

Hey there, I'm a Canadian living in the US on an L1 right now, it was a good fit for me. What my company did was set up a Canadian Entity (subsidy) and started paying me through that for a year before I made the trip. It worked out wel

640K ought to be enough for anybody.

Agreed, though I think there were 2 jumps with cell phones, the original mass produced ones circa the late 1990s, and then smart phones circa 2007-2008. Also this: https://www.tnhh.net/posts/google-maps-insane-backward-

It absolutely blows my mind that Menstrual cups aren't more widespread globally. I basically wouldn't even know about them if my partner didn't use them. They seem like a better option than tampons and pads 90%+ of the time.

Are you saying that people would blow through $250k/year? lol

Someone that works in the industry probably knows better, but OpenTable has your full history of your dining experiences booked through them. What restaurants you frequent, how often, what time you go, how large your party was, how often yo

I deal with this constantly. Someone gets a bug report for a crash, let's say a null pointer dereference, so often I see: > if (pPointer == nullptr) { return; } > Crash is fixed! I mean sure... but that's not the problem. Wh

The best interview I ever had was similar, the largest chunk of it was me and my boss whiteboarding out a problem together, he had the marker. We were solving a problem that I'd be solving on the product, and that he had implemented on

My biggest problem with the buses is frequency. My gf lives just off Glenoaks in Burbank/Glendale, there's a bus that comes right by, but it's so infrequent that it rarely makes sense. "If I head out now, I might make it

I disagree with that first part. At least in software engineering. Remember when you just had software engineers? Eventually we got things like game programmers and web developers. Now every game has at the very least an audio programmer, g

Not the person you're responding to, but C++ for me. I make a normal Seattle salary while living in Toronto. Which after conversion seems to put me higher than people with 3x my experience in much better paying sectors than I'm in

Many of these are real problems, but they are way overblown. There's a big difference between a break and enter, and "The airbnb guest stole my lamp when he left!"
