Despite the greytexting of this comment, I'm still really interested in the discussion around it -- and I'm really curious to hear from people that have the opposite experience. Moving from SVN to git felt like liberation because

1. Contract work can take many forms. I found great success with informal "please keep my business online" work when I was very raw -- part time network admin is how it was called, and I was a PTE of a couple of small orgs. 2. Lat

I'm not interested in a simplification of git, sorry. Git's major value proposition is that they added moving parts until the system worked great . If you don't want named branches, staging, or any other piece of the ideolog

Something similar happened to me many years ago. I advise starting with contract work (which is often much easier to get,) and use that to re-establish a recent work history. Projects on Github are great as well.

What I love about nonsense phrases like 'cultural marxism' is that they invariably have the opposite impact than was likely intended. Calling "cultural marxism" on [checks notes] a *marketing ask* is like calling a resta

Despite the obvious difference in demographic, it's interesting seeing HN sort of synoptically align with the content reshared in my disability communities. Layoffs change cultures, don't they? I'm waiting for the first HN cl

I'm not trying to give you positive vibes, teekert, I'm trying to know what is true and correct. Why are you centering your emotions?

Another thing happening is that a lot of U.S. companies are "friendshoring" to Canada, India, Australia, and Europe, where salaries, in real terms, are somewhere between 25%-50% cheaper for what is effectively the same productivit

What you did wrong is consistently characterize your intellectual opponents as being dominated by "negative emotions," a thing you are still doing. This is how you lose arguments. This is how you lost this one.

I would suggest he is indeed brilliant, but also a fool. Fools are often brilliant, but they are parted from their money all the same. The question is: does Musk have enough brilliance to achieve escape velocity from his folly?

The 'luxury belief' here is that one's opponents all hold their views for reasons that they are either not aware of, or are deceptive about. I was in Seattle for CHOP -- the "defund the police" crowd was literally a

I can speak to this. First, listen to affinity effects, but listen critically. What I mean is: if you find that you just so happen to get along really great with haberdashers, you find yourself at haberdashery conventions, and you have an a

That you've actually articulated the idea that one cannot be concerned with one thing, and spend your time doing another, suggests that you have zero respect for the fortitude and perserverance of your diverse colleagues. You simply ha

Yes, I would. A rational agent is going to be preoccupied with survival. I only hire rational people. Capitalism insists you be preoccupied with yours, as well. My survival depends in part on diversity & inclusion efforts. As much as

Dude. I'm preoccupied with "matters of diversity" because they govern whether I'm in the room, and whether I get paid. So is every other diverse engineer. Circumscribing these concerns as somehow fake or inauthentic, j

This article's closing insinuation that diversity only matters (or is pushed by) 'the email caste' perpetuates a sterotype. There are lots of us "diverse" engineers who wouldn't have been given a first shot wit

As a hacker my intellectual curiosity is mostly about things that shape our politics and society.
