I understand and agree, but I cannot fathom why anyone invests on Nintendo's digital platform, as they cycle completely every 5-10 years (e.g. Wii Virtual Console). The games are great, but the way they milk their pĺayers on recycled c

Wonder why digital games usually go the same price of physical media, then if their ownership is conceptually different.

If you have the luxury to choose and are not in the loop of "I need a job by MM/dd otherwise I'm screwed", this is more evident, be it because the business area is more interesting or more aligned to your own values, the

To each their own, but I find funny that people shell out an absurd amount of money for games they will play exactly once but feel robbed when paying for software that they use every single day. The licensing from sublime is very amenable,

The job pool is smaller, I believe, but with high earnings potential (luck™), mostly in fields where performance is not a plus, is a must: games dev, robotics, HFT, system engineering, etc.

Probably enough data to support that WFH is against the status quo, takes effort to make it work and upper management isn't comfortable with it. It's not for everyone, but nothing is.

Honestly, I don´t know what this type of post is doing on HN. Very strong political bias and misinformation being spread in the comments, feels like I'm on Reddit.

Hey, but I have this single header only spaghetti-code library here, super easy to include in your package, should be a breeze to use! I'm with you, my sunken cost is 10 years, though.

Spot on. In robotics it's pretty much the only standard framework there is and guess which one is the only distro with Tier 1 support? Yep.

What are your pain points? I've been using at low volume and while it's not as flashy as gmail, using with something as Thunderbird for the heavy lifting is not too bad.

I'm not on the RoR stack, but I think it doesn't generate a lof of buzz today because it's no longer the flashy new toy (IMO rust, go, kubernetes, a gazillion of react components in the UI, elixir, etc. took its place of &quo

Bitbucket is like an ex girlfriend you don't quite recall why you broke up with, but afterwards every time you meet her and hear her voice it all comes back in a rush how disgusted she made you feel.

That's survivorship bias right there. We mostly hear of successful stories, where grinding, blood and tears paid off and have an amazing story to tell. For each one of those there are countless others that didn't work out because
