At first I thought no way it can be so low, but 99.5k views since 2017 is indeed around 50 views per day. For 400 euros and all this effort... I get similar hits on a free neocities site with zero effort put into search indexing, styling, u

Judging by my performance reviews, I’ve gotten way worse at my job over time. They LOVED me as a junior, they despise me as a senior/lead. Only difference is that as a junior, when the boss came by and said “let’s do it this way,” I sa

Late reply but figured I would share what worked for me. Once a week, spend 15-20 minutes writing down what an ideal day would look like for you in as much detail as possible. Visualise it and feel it. Don’t worry about anything like realis

“Your job as a bricklayer isn’t to lay bricks. It’s to solve building problems.” If you’re actually looking for an architect or designer or salesperson or manager, hire them instead of berating developers for not doing all of those jobs at

Agree 100%. My old workplace is making everyone commute to office next week so that they can “team bond and destress” by playing with office-provided toys. Really. It’s so patronising and I hate the control bosses think they have over your

If the expectations for seniors in her company are to close tickets without hand-holding, I wonder what the expectations are for juniors? To occasionally drool onto the semicolon key? It’s odd to see the ‘principal engineer’ in the article

> “remember that? yeah it was 5 years already” I get the impression many HN commenters haven’t even been adults for 5 years so no, they really don’t remember it :) for example articles get posted here and upvoted with the author boasting

I want one of these “pretend to work” big money jobs. Where are they? Any recommendations?

“Demonstrably” a psychological control system? Go on then, demonstrate it.

Thank you for posting the content of the actual books. It’s kind of funny to me that people upthread are upset about the ‘blowjob’ scene when the characters involved immediately decide it’s not very exciting after all. Not exactly the hedon

Is a book containing a husband and wife sexually suggestive, as it shows a heterosexual couple? Is a book containing a nuclear family even more sexually suggestive, since it implies the husband and wife must have had sexual intercourse to p

Still, I have 10+ years of evidence that employed work is boring, stressful and unfulfilling for me - so if I did feel bored after 2 years (and money wasn’t an issue) I really don’t think I would consider returning to employment to alleviat

Same, I’ve had a 6 month break from work and I don’t miss a single damn thing about it, except the pay! My lifelong chronic boredom actually went away for the first time ever. It’s really made me re-evaluate how much effort I intend to put

I wish Godot had the art capabilities that Flash had. With Flash you could sit down to a blank canvas and end up with a game you could pop on the web, without needing a single external program. With 2D Godot there’s always that annoying beg

The parent described giving a negative review of a workplace as “backstabbing”. Do you disagree this is a negative value judgement?

And I know, there’s an ethical issue to that. Like, should piles be able to bury nuggets? No! But in nugget culture, well you gotta nugget as a nugget.

This is why I can’t do meetings. Like the article, all I end up saying is “I don’t know.” I get battered into agreeing with the other person in the meeting because I can’t debate with them off the cuff, and it’s like social interaction uses

Surely this is where the real money is, as long as they can draw up a good enough disclaimer to get out of being responsible for what the AI says. Everyone on Earth wants a friend or pet who gives them emotional validation, and who cares if

They seem to deal pretty well with confusing sentences containing typos, bad grammar or semi-nonsense. A “large language model cat made by microsoft” doesn’t mean anything but “large language model chat…” does, especially since Microsoft al

You told it that Sydney is an LLM chat and that it’s giving inappropriate responses. It parroted that back to you with some elaboration, and has apparently made you believe it has knowledge beyond what you told it. That’s exactly how a cold

I don’t know the technical details of chatgpt but other language models have a sort of randomness tuning that makes them produce more unlikely stuff. Chatgpt appears to be deliberately tuned to produce very likely, very cliche, very rote ou

Absolutely. I tell people this constantly. If you write a test that says “it should have length 256”, that’s an assertion on the design intention, not on the actual functioning of the code. “It should have length 256” == true as soon as the

There’s no therapy that helps, at least as far as I know. At best you could learn coping mechanisms, but I don’t think anyone has ever been successfully convinced out of trans-ness by therapy, similar to how gay conversion therapy didn’t ac

Would you support a woman having breast reduction surgery, or would you say “sorry your body doesn’t match your mind; get therapy”? I suppose you can argue the tissue here is not “healthy” because it’s causing physical distress for the woma

Do you object to the “cis people are also weird, gender is weird” bit? Why? It’s always seemed very weird to me that the vast majority of people DO align with gender roles and DO enjoy the sexually dimorphic body they have, even though that

From experience, 4 day week doesn’t really help. You end up doing just as much work as people on 5 days but getting paid less, getting overlooked because you’re less present, and consequently feeling resentful AND overworked. A 4 day week i

She’s working essentially three jobs and is extremely tired - is that really autistic burnout, or just regular exhaustion? I saw someone on TikTok who got diagnosed with ADHD because they felt unable to go to school, work a job, go to the g

There’s no link to the original medium article but I have a feeling the author was female or some other minority in the industry. I might be totally off base with that though. I agree that the wording is very cringy, but if I may offer one

Yes, especially from clients/customers. Most manager feedback, though, is of the form “you need to/should do X.” If you press them on HOW to do X, they often don’t really know, especially when it comes to soft skills issues or per
