Probably nothing. I make money writing code mostly just so that I can do pretty much nothing once I'm done with it every day.

I go for half-hour walks once or twice per day, or read HN or something. My /etc/hosts file is littered with filled-in rabbit holes like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc., but HN gets a pass for now.

Getting off of PPIs is a miserable experience. It gave me the worst acid reflux of my life, lasting almost a whole month. Everything is back to normal now (I don't think I should have been taking them in the first place), but I wonde

I think I don't like software quite that much, but enough to where if I did have spare mental energy, I probably would use it. That's an interesting perspective though, and one I see in many Type A coders. I just don't have

This may actually be something I try. I don't need that much sleep, but I think it may hurt for awhile. I'll think on it.

None. After my first cup of coffee in the morning when I have artificial enthusiasm I always tell myself I will start when I get home, but after 9 hours of making somebody else rich, I am just out of energy, and not interested enough in so

My job is completely pointless; my company will make money no matter what I do. I (and I imagine most other people in general) do their best to normalize this in the name of having a stable life. Doing something meaningful is hard, harder

Well, my 5-man team is great :) It's a gigantic company, so I'm not surprised. I've heard similar things about Intel.

I'm actually surprised they let this much out. Nike is incredibly tight with just about everything. Amazing place to work though.

That was legitimately terrifying. Don't know if I've ever experienced a fight-or-flight response from a YouTube video before.

This is where I am as well. In the end I think I would enjoy my profession more if I stopped working on bullshit invented problems. I then remind myself that pretty much everybody hates that their jobs are ultimately not contributing to t

I always found it funny that European students at my university were shocked that we really did play beer pong with red solo cups in the States. Some of them even took a cup home as a souvenir.

This exact situations happens to me far too often, especially when working with developers who refuse to learn the other side of the stack. Had lots of "this doesn't work" conversations with frontend devs who refuse to get t

I want to learn how to even start a side-project. I've been out of university since 2012 and have done basically nothing in my free time CS-related. Every time I start to even think about doing something, that "why are you worki

I agree :). Clojure re-invigorated my love for programming after years of working on boring products in boring languages. I still work on boring products, but at least I get to work with awesome technologies (Clojure/Datomic being my

In the end we're all human. You can try to ignore it, but just scanning the text is probably enough to raise the blood pressure of most people, even if you immediately block the offender. You still read it and it was still stressful.

If you SV types keep moving to Portland, it's just going to be another SF housing debacle.

And you're surprised by this? I've worked with maybe ~50 engineers directly, and 4 of them were female.

Absolutely. I fully recognize my $2.50 americano every morning could be a couple of cups of free office coffee, but I look forward to it every single day. I also drive a 10-year-old but reliable car, so I don't have any huge monthly

I've moved to doing something extremely simple: just give me pseudo-code for indexOf given a string and a character. If you can't write the 4-5 liner for linearly searching a string for a character, then there's not much poi

It's a bummer they won't even respond. Do you have legal grounds to get an answer on renewing a lease within a reasonable amount of time before you get kicked out (1-2 months)?

Not live in Manhattan seems to be the only answer for common folk, unless you like a few roommates.

Fair enough. Now that you mention it, if I got to work on whatever I wanted, I absolutely would be happy. Just gotta make time after work to reacquaint myself with projects that I find interesting :)

I feel exactly the same way. I used to enjoy programming in college, but now it's slowly turning in to an endless grind of new projects. Finish one, in comes another. I don't know if it's just me or my company, but I am de

Yeah, npm is fine. I understand the React vitriol to a point, but npm "just works" more than pretty much any other package manager I've used, and especially more than pip.

I had to do a survey of the modern web world for a greenfield project my company is working on, and I ended up with AngularJS 1.x and Rails. Angular is by far the easiest to get in to, has the most stable libraries, and is relatively well

I drove from Austin to Denver once. From Abilene to Texline it's pretty much nothing but wind turbines...and that is a very long drive. It's pretty cool that such an oil-driven state has a large amount of renewable energy.
