The poster above you is why I decided to just work as a software engineer instead. It was such a depressing and bleak field. Thank you for having another opinion!

Which one? This wasn't really true in quite a lot of cases of Amazon recommendations. Usually it's just kinda smart engineers.

Maybe teachers have some sort of important, authotity-figure type role to some children.

Would you consider issues to be easily measurable in terms of work required? Given more time would you clean up those unit tests and cover some additional cases?

FP (specifically the Haskell / Scala style) is easier to reason about in large scale applications. In particular, when using distributed systems. Two reasons: Immutability guarentees that the variable name changes when the underlying d

I may have heard of such a thing happening at another company. Certain personalities just can't seem to help themselves.

Yeah, pretty much.

Maybe. But they were doing web filtering, so I get it.

I've been writing software for 14 years. I've done it professionally for almost 2. There aren't many interesting problems professionally (and early-career you don't get many). I'm getting bored and stupid, but god

How would you stop a microbiome from developing? It seems nearly impossible.

Oh man. I was a junior and had a (non-technical) manager that started as a pushover (yes, do anything you want) then compared me to a factory worker making doors faster. We outright fought in 1-1's for 9 months. Which left me emotional

Perspective. There's no necessity to constantly change partners. The point was that people adapt and keep wanting more. I'm a stoic (largely by nature) and have enjoyed polyamory. Dated a hedonist.

This is helpful. I check linked-in just to see what exists fairly frequently and dress in random attire depending on what laundry is done (sometimes really nice, sometimes shorts). I'd never really considered it as something that meant

So where do I fit? (Very) High IQ, max openness, min consciensouseness. You can also game big 5 and IQ.

But it also means that we're neutering some really important mechanisms of human development. It seems very costly to squeeze out those teensy little bits of extra safety.

Person A may legitimately view person B as more qualified. Whether or not this is true.

You should do an AMA. I'd love to know about adult ADHD.

Anecdote: I had been programming for ~12 years consistently by the time I got my first job. Almost entirely for fun. I'd managed to get jaded with software (especially commercial software) by this time. I'm considering going back

That's how you're supposed to do it. My manager had a nack for only giving the negative feedback 3 or 4 times.

1. Would open source work help? 2. I was homeschooled (read: self-taught in grade school), my work ethic primarily kicks in at home. How can I use this to help me land an interview?

Any guesses on that? I'm making a decent bit into 6 figures if benefits like stock is accounted for with one year of industry existence.

It's partly how we view the cultures. Popular 'chinese' food is also supposed to be cheap, but we have a similar view of their manufactured goods. Japanese food is expensive, we consider their manufactured goods as high quali

You could poach them too. It could be a tragedy of the commons scenario, but it would be nice.

I did well, but I also took it with a severe migraine. Can I take it again now?

Not the parent, but I'm someone with quite a lot of social anxiety. I fall apart when I have to give presentations (working on this skill) or I'm in a high-pressure social setting. Everyone does to some degree, but for myself and

My understanding is that state income tax can be deducted from federal income tax. Retirement income is usually pretty low as well.

Suppose your odds of landing in that exact scenerio are .001%. If you are unlucky, should we pay for you? What about your kids? It seems valuable to society to not have old, homeless people causing trouble. But that's just me.
