Is this an eons-long form of "it was better in the old days"? Just look at primates and other wild animals today to see brutal violence.

> I programmed server-side web forms in ASP.NET and JSP for years before switching to SPAs and React. I don't think that comparison makes sense? ASP.NET and JSP are server side languages while React is client side.

Backend devs do this as well. You could just as easily start a thread called "Why use MicroServices/Serverless/Kubernetes/NoSQL etc.". Just like SPAs, those things all have a time and a place but unfortunately devs

Sorry I'm going to be contrarian here but if "people can't afford kids", then why is it well established that poorer people have more kids while richer have fewer? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inco

Financial independence comes down to simply earning as much money as you can while spending as little as possible. As to how to earn the most money you can, I think that depends a lot on your personal circumstances. But if freelancing hasn&

I am a developer with a CS degree and think you hit the nail on the head with that observation. There are also plenty of other things developers have to know about now that you didn't have to 20 years ago - security, privacy concerns o

No, bullying is just a US (and UK) thing. Everything in the US and UK is bad. Everything in Europe is good. We don't have bullying, or smart phone addiction, or family breakdown, or populist leaders, or racial tensions or drug and alco

No, I have not ever seen it work well. I was so frustrated by its prevalence in the industry that it was one of the main reasons why I decided to leave software development and work in cyber security / penetration testing instead. I ha

"for me" is the key part of the sentence you quoted. If he had said "for everyone" then yes that would have been survivorship bias, but he did not. Though if you are trying to point out the fact that we might get a skew

Is using the word "pussies" trying hard to offend? It seems like a pretty legitimate post, I know many people that think like this guy, only most of them don't read hacker news..

You forgot to add "Well actually" at the start of your sentence.

Call me a pussy but your new job sounds a hell of a lot worse than most software Dev jobs to me. Each his own I suppose.

I think you are taking my post far too "literally" (can't think of a better term sorry). I can't blame you though, the internet does not really convey the implicit nuance that I intended with this post. Yes you are right

Weird this is getting downvoted. Its true for my own experience - my life is much better since I've stopped with all the sleep gadgets and panicking when I get less than 8 hours sleep in a night. Its also a view backed up by profession

by theworld572 7y ago
The best thing you can do for sleep is to stop worrying about it so much. Ditch the weighted blankets, the sleep trackers, the obsessively strict sleep hygiene routine, the meditation, the mindfulness, the blue light glasses etc.

It depends what industry you're in. If you go to work for a boring corporation that doesn't do anything interesting then you will find it boring and unfulfilling. Or you can work for a company that has some kind of ethical mission

I agree with most of what she says about being a software dev, expect, for the long hours - how many companies has she worked in? I have worked in 7 companies over the last few years (mostly as a contractor though a few were permanent) and

I'm not trying to be antagonistic but you sound exactly like the religious people we're talking about. And your response still doesn't answer the question - at what point does Agile stop being Agile? Are you saying that any t

Its true the examples I gave are probably a bit exaggerated but I think the general point still stands. I think you have even demonstrated that contradiction yourself although in a much more eloquent way? If Agile lets you inspect and adapt

Another way in which agile is like religion: its evangelists always have a jargon-loaded answer to every possible criticism of it. They really remind me of being a kid in Sunday school and asking the teacher questions like "but if god

Risk free, until you buy drugs from "undercover" police who arrest you the second you pick up that soda can in the woods! But for the dealer, it can be quite close to Risk free if they are careful enough.

Its funny to see how liberal Americans (I'm might be wrong but I assume you would call yourself that?) seem to have adopted a kind of reverse-patriotism where everything non-american is always better and foreign countries are looked up

So I guess you want immigrants but not Chinese immigrants then? Otherwise they would bring their cruel culture to America?
