One thing that is working for me is simply getting a handheld and playing good old video games like in old days. It is something I look forward to everyday because I can be anywhere and play anytime. It is simply best hack I came up with. A

Oh my god!! You nailed it. I see two categories in tech. One the builder, innovators, tinkerers, those who just wanted to use tech to draw their ideas to life. Then other is artisan, those who took pride in organizing and craft. Second one

You are really literally like me because you did the things I did. I have also dabble with them. I have also experimented with it. Only thing is I never made anything valuable. I guess I only did it for sake of learning and being happy. Con

Wow!! This is literally soooo insane you managed to write so much answer in a way that is so close and dear to you. I would really love to have a long discussion with you but I don't know if it is possible given your time. Is there an

It seems like both of us have similar definition of an average. That's really cool that you got my idea of being average. Thank you! So do you have any clue how I can optimize the position in the industry? I am interested in the most o

I did these tests some times ago! If I fall into INTP/ENTP because I think of myself as an ambivert and my introvertness is a spectrum that varies with my emotions. Thanks for pointing a out functions! Will definitely check it out.

Sure, take your time! After reading your reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36693161 , it resonated with me because I am this type of learner. I need to break things fast, reach the wrong answer, and get stuck so th

Arguing with you has been quite productive! Thanks for writing the detailed response. It shows me the perspective of where you come from. I am baffled and in awe at what you can achieve with one correct process and routine. I still have som

Okay, so going by your definition, I am a loser. Your first attempt put me in a derogatory way saying, "Stay far away from my companies.... barf" Then you stick to the idea of calling me a loser from your point of view. I don&#x27

I don't know how to argue on that. Learning is a slow process that takes time and effort. The results aren't visible immediately. Meanwhile industry wants to get the job done and be over with it. We are hired to work. I don't

Oh no, I thought the salary would be adjusted for inflation. Are there no social safety nets? This is really sad to know that salary isn't adjusted for living expenses!

wow, what is wrong with being average and trying to enjoy life? I am pretty sure you have zero contribution to llvm, pytorch, react, vue, js, c, python, linux, or heck even the device you are typing. You also fall on same average category.

Oh!! Thank you!! These are the answers I am looking for because these never crossed my thoughts. These are boring and no one likes them! Exactly my taste.

Okay! This makes sense. Culture is important! However, I kindly request you to not conclude that wanting to be average doesn't mean not having interest in the field. It's the contrary. I am so invested, I know what mind blogging t

So it likes transition into a business roles or try to be CEO. My question, is there no way to be eternally stuck as "senior/staff engineer". I do not want anything beyond that. The salary of an average senior/staff engi

Yeah, totally. At least I would try to communicate on important decisions. However, I have zero interest in making decisions, making presentation, trying to prove things or any of that. All I want is a task that is achievable in given alloc

For clarification: The rat-race is tiring. I have given up on it even before starting. The hardest thing in life is giving up. It took a long self talk to reach an agreement where I am truly an average in what I do. There are so many people
