If it’s related to the task at hand, I create a comment block inside the ‘main’ file. Sometimes the comments are spread out so I make sure not to commit them to git which is easy because I’m a GUI using heretic. Sometimes I even have a sing

My next door neighbour lives in one of those thatched roof houses. I once visited in mid May, it was sweltering hot outside so I was in Tshirts and shorts. Inside, it was freezing! They had the kotatsu and a kerosene stove on.

Not in our particular industry which is still somewhat meritocratic. Even in the late 2010s, I was still hearing people saying shit like not having more than 5 entries on their employment history.

Legally speaking, you may be sued for damages. Socially speaking, you’re never working in the industry again, possibly never be in full employment ever again. Things are better now but shit like this was rampant even back in the late 2000s

It’s telling that if you google for resignation letter in Japanese, you still get a lot of them titled 退職願 — Request to Quit. Things have gotten better in the past 2 decades. 退職届 — Notice of Resignation is more common nowadays.

You’re asking why someone doesn’t just leave an abusive spouse. They mentally can’t.

Story time! Back at a previous job in a Japanese Traditional Company over a decade ago, a guy had been trying to quit for months. ‘Tradition’ has it that before you quit, you have to schedule a chat with your team lead, who will then direct

I too, could never imagine what being a software engineer would be like. Sunny outside? Work from the deck chairs on the roof. Snowing? Grab a seat by the window and enjoy the view. Stunning fall colours? Great day to work at the park. And

I used both GitHub and BitBucket during the early days. There was no comparison. GitHub was simply nice to use. The UX was phenomenal for its time and made sense. BitBucket was horrible but my then employer wouldn’t pay for hosting and GitH

I also wonder why they didn't simply build a hollow column out of wood then cover it in mortar instead of actually building a concrete column.

I think it’s the difference between why and what. Yes, there’s not a lot of ‘why’ in just three words, but it’s more meaningful than the latter examples. IMO they’re not bad examples, just different target audiences. The latter ones are mor
