No one owes you anything in life. Do not buy into the whole victimization of you based on your age. Resist this temptation. The truth is that some "old" people are actually "weird" as are some really young people may be

Clearly you have never been a landlord. You realize that a lot of people have NO sense of budget and will be DOA the moment they take possession of a rental? We literally look at the tenants ability to STAY A FLOAT so we do not harm them, t

Exactly. This affirmative action type law will not have the effect they are publically claiming to attempt to achieve. Bring the data. And I will continue to volunteer my salary information at the very first interactions with my prospectiv

Agreed. I just counter this by offering up my Salary during the first few interactions unprompted. Example: Hi Mr. Nice Recruiter/Employer, Thanks for getting in touch. My current position pays X/year and offers (1 very important

Yes, thank you. Boys behave differently around girls and will form weaker bonds with each other. Boys grow up to be providers and need to be pushed hard because life is hard on them. Men's income forms the largest tax base. The average

This. Make no mistake here. This has nothing to do with giving "equal opportunity" of activities to all. But a way of suppressing healthy masculine development. The girl scouts will never accept boys and probably cite some bogus r

I'm going to say something that may not go well with others here and may be repulsive at first. Hear me out though. There are 2 issues here and they are separate. Issue #1. Is it worth relocating to SV for your "dream job"? A

Once I started foraging and hunting for my pay...I started to feel more free and much less likely to take bullshit from anyone (afterall, there is always the next hunt). The core of your being is changed when you start with yourself as your

What benefit is it to me to show off to my peers? My peers are not the ones hiring me. By definition it is my superiors hiring me. Seems like an exoensive way to demonstrate to my peers. I think it is better to demonstrate by actually doing

The article points out things that do not happen to me. Lose motivation and find it yourself? That's a truism since motivation is internal. Maybe they meant you lose external micromanagement. Plan 4 days in advance? Sure if you decide

How do you, as a doctor, reconcile that there is no test/falsifiable criteria for depression? You may be able to identify "major depression" but how many times is it just a case of "lack of meaningful purpose" and j

Has anyone else noticed the odd "coincidence" that depression is associated with -depressive- states such as - sitting around and not exercising - keeping to oneself and not socializing and helping others - repeating negative talk

Upward mobility to what? As a software contract worker, the last thing I want is "upward mobility". That means more bullshit and less actualy hands on development. Being a contract worker let's you control your taxes better a

What are you after in life? A lifetime of financial security and building great businesses? Or working for someone else / struggling to make ends meet because you thought you could turn 12M into 50M or 200M. But in fact it flopped. If

Using Typescript with Angular2 + RXJS is like my second wind and a breathe of fresh air. It's like web development is "real" software development now.

I do it on the fly as in when I context switch. Takes about 10 seconds max (copy paste ticket #, type meeting name, etc) With a context switch every 15mins or quicker... probably easily 1 minute or 1.5 minutes per hour of work. So somewhere

Once you work remotely (and you have your own office, in your own house) you feel bad, terribly sorry for anyone that stays in an open office "cultured" tech company making 200k+ per year. The quality of life and lack of freedom y
