It’s a common misperception that a 10x engineer is 10x the average engineer. The original quote said that the best engineers are 10x the worst engineers which is easily true. 10x the average engineer is only sustainable for a limited time b

Finish your degree, then pursue computer science. Understanding statistics and data is a super power for a software engineer. There are a lot of data-adjacent software engineering jobs. Telemetry, data pipelines, data visualization applicat

This article doesn't take into account that maybe the kids didn't all get sick because closing the schools helped stop the spread of COVID in kids. It's like saying I exercised and lost weight so clearly that exercise was a w

I had the same thing, I switched hands using the mouse and developed it in my other hand. I switched to a trackball, it persisted. I switched to a Wacom tablet and it went away. I used a pen and tablet for over a decade afterwards and it ne

The worst engineer in the world is the one that worked on your current project before you... even if that person was you a year ago! “Who wrote this sh!t?!?” >git blame Oh, it was me... well I’m sure there’s a good explanation.

Something can be racist by affecting some races more than others, it's not binary.

People are still being excluded because of their race, it doesn't matter if you changed the rules once that exclusion was locked in or not. That's a bait and switch justification.

California has a shameful past of adding racist restrictions into real estate through title documents and other means (ex. "no person of any race other than the Caucasian or white race" may use or occupy the property, with the exc
