This is valuable for corporate software engineers working on giant systems. But what about non-corporate software engineers? What about web developers? The interview process is very different depending on the company.

If you hate it, it's probably because it's different . You'll get used to it. It's similar to how every time a company re-designs their logo, there's always a huge backlash solely because it's change, and peop

I do use it for other sites as well, like news sites. You can freeze any site for a specified period of time. It definitely makes me use the sites less frequently.

A lot of the most useful software I've made for myself has been browser extensions. Spend too much time on Hacker News? I made an extension to freeze the front page so it updates once every 6 hours. Spend too much time on Reddit? I mad

Yeah. YouTube's algorithm does a really great job of stopping me from watching too much YouTube. For me it's a lot of videos I've either already seen, am not interested but continually get recommended, or are just short, low

Well, for one we don't do visual design professionally for a living, we write code. Second, I think we're much more focused on getting the software to work in the most logical way possible, which means not having any unnecessary e

Probably a coincidence. /r/antiwork is wildly popular on Reddit, which is an American social media platform. The sentiment is shared across apps.

If it's a really great idea, it will stick around in your head. If it needs to be written down, it's probably not a very good idea. Check out Stephen King's take on this: https://youtu.be/lwhOd65gGoY?t=30

I use Serverless with Lambda. It's even a template in Serverless, so with the CLI you just type `serverless` and select the Node.js/Python Scheduled Task template and everything is set up for you. I do a lot of web scraping, and L

And that fundamental value? Allowing a currency for people to sell drugs and other illegal goods online.

Illegal dark web markets use BTC as currency. The BTC entering and exiting these markets is highly tumbled, making it very hard to track.

Even if all the exchanges go down, I would be surprised if BTC completely crashed. It's still highly useful for buying illegal drugs, and for money laundering. If you notice, whenever there are crypto crashes, the BTC value after every

I like Stephen King's advice. He says he doesn't keep a writer's notebook, because that's where you can immortalize bad ideas. The good ideas stick around in your head, and that's what he decides to work on. So, spe

I have made my money online by specifically not trying to make money. I only work on things I'm interested in, have experience with, or am good at, and the money comes afterward. In terms of finding project ideas, perhaps try looking b

The easiest money I ever made was doing affiliate marketing for a domain name registrar. They would pay you $20 every time someone signed up for their free domain name promotion. I just posted on /r/freebies every week for two mon

I know some people aren't going to like reading this, but this is the reason I got an office job after working 2+ years remotely. I am in my mid 20s, working as a software engineer. I have never worked in an office. I live alone in a c

One thing you have to consider is how context plays a very important role in your job. AI does not have the context of your job/codebase and therefore can only do very small tasks that have probably already been done before (e.g. &quot

Can someone clarify why DoorDash and Uber can't turn a profit? My guess is that paying enough for drivers on top of food delivery makes the food so expensive, there's no margin left to turn a profit from. If you charge enough to m

I find this kind of writing so unbelievably annoying, it's unreadable. People who write as though not only can they predict the future, but they're so arrogantly certain of it that they write long, scary sounding articles about it

You could try living in a city where you can commute via train. 1 hour on a train is significantly different than 1 hour driving a car.

It's true. I was trying to buy a light box to take product photos with. Amazon seems to only list the crappy light boxes from China. I had to go to B&H's website to find brand name products. Maybe the Chinese light boxes work

Crypto isn't actually an investment in anything. It's just speculation. With crypto you're not investing in anything that will produce a positive cash flow. Bonds and the stock market actually produce cash flow.

Someone needs to make a user-friendly (AKA democratic) social media platform, compared to the autocratic, user-hostile platforms we're forced to use. I don't hate Instagram because of the ads, I hate Instagram because they force &

It's great Serif added the shape builder tool to Affinity. It's one of the most useful tools in Illustrator. Now that Affinity has it, I don't see any reason to keep using Illustrator.

Needless complexity, similar to folding phones no one found a use for. It makes for really great YouTube tech content but is mostly just a direct downgrade in everyday usability.

Probably because class is boring. People are happy to watch three hour criminal psychology interrogation videos on YouTube. It's the educators who need to change, not the students. I've learned a lot more on YouTube than I did in
