I would hang in there and get in touch with a therapist or a friend that you know to have good judgment before you take action. Hopefully they will be able to assess your thinking and point out any blind spots. I would advise even more caut

This is timely and beneficial. Most of the posts I see on HN about job changes focus on the external conditions of a job that cause misery. However, as you've pointed out, these situations also have a positive side—they offer opportuni

What's the difference in risk between the S&P and BTC? I'm all in on S&P and it feels as if BTC is an even bigger gamble.

What about those very capable engineers that do not read books? I'm talking about the independent and original thinkers that solve problems their own way. They exist and I'd prefer to be them, actually. I haven't quite figure

Is there still no easy way to use it as a target display? I'd consider an iMac as my personal computing device, but I'd like to use the display to plug into my work Macbook.

What was your path to becoming competent? I've been a software engineer for over a decade now and I'm middling at best. I've been studying algorithms in my free time as my energy permits and am hoping to branch out into other

How smart are you really if you're going to let society's idea of "gifted" hang over you?

What part of you says it's a lot of money? I'd indulge some of the commenters here and try an experiment: tell yourself that it's not much--at least not enough to call yourself "wealthy" or "rich"--and see

Can you name other careers that are deeply satisfying and pay just as well?

An honest, rational, and intelligent way to approach our working lives and it runs counter to much of the advice you'd get elsewhere. I think it's possible to be disillusioned with work and yet still do a good job and find satisfa

I think I see where you're coming from. I was recently thinking of starting up a technical blog as a form of self-promotion and to have something to show to potential employers. But I also wanted to do something that I felt was good an

I think it's easier to do if you work up to it gradually. I read Logic by Wilfrid Hodges a few years back on a whim from some recommendation on HN. I didn't think much of the book at the time, though I recently picked up Benjamin

How long have you been at Google, if you don't mind? I'm sort of curious about tenure and how long people typically stay. A recruiter reached out to me for an engineering position in their Chicago office. I'm considering inte

My parents were taken in as refugees by the US when they were in their early twenties and now, over forty years later, they still wonder if it was the right decision to stay here. They've made it to the middle-class and that's a p

Should've doled them out based on performance. My fourth grade teacher used to give out candy bars for good grades. King sized ones, too. No other teachers gave out much of anything except gold stars. I was an overachiever so I usually

There doesn't seem to be anything apparent about Suryavarman's origins, at least according to what I've read from Cambodian scholars.

My parents are on the verge of retiring in Clearwater and they're trying to persuade their children to come with them. My sister and her family are already considering it. I'm pretty skeptical about the whole thing, being single,
