Yep. Or even "Do you really need SQLite? How to get away with a dozen secretaries, pencil, paper, and a fax machine" I'm with ya. Why not use the right tool for the right job, given the right tool exists?

That's what I think as well. I don't think there's any negotiating with willfully negligent and dishonest Chinese industries & government. To be honest, I am hoping the entire world soon turns against China. Maybe once e

Something that pushed me to resign from a job at a 2nd tier technology company (gaming) was receiving in invitation (company-wide or locality-wide) from an HR person, via company communication channels, to an after-work-hours drag queen con

I just have to laugh when I see "cis" used. That's like using the term "Black Crow" to describe the vast majority of crows, simply because a "Blue Crow" [1] exists, yet consists of a very tiny fraction of

I agree. I don't know that skill growth can be provided by "mentorship". At most, I think mentorship can provide (or is perhaps conflated with providing) direction & guidance. I've never been in the situation where

"self-preservation" includes social animals. Some animals are social by nature, correct. Whether or not they have evolved to become social, being social increases their odds of survival, due to economic factors such as pooling o

I think capitalism is simply the an economic system based on the psychological behavior of self-preservation-- which is exhibited in most if not all forms of life. It is a reliable behavior (in terms of staying alive) and an expected insti

East Asian American CEO drops acid and takes an apparently extremely casual approach to meetings with investors. Perhaps as an effort to stand out? Fails to recognize the repeated failure in such behavior. Gets fired. Plays race card. &lt

Fantastic, simple tool! Definitely saving it to my notes for future reference. Note: the min & max size settings... I don't quite understand. - What are the units? - does it refer to the min / max of a particular grid box, or

You bring up a great point. I actually attended a bootcamp for 1 week, but thought it was over priced and didn't provide much instruction (25 students, 2 instructors, sometimes only 1 instructor. After a lecture on a topic, I'd s

I wonder how the author would feel about me copying & pasting their article to a few different websites (such as Medium.com), and then collecting both the financial proceeds & the credit.

First, OP: STOP CALLING YOURSELF UNHIREABLE. STOP WITH THE SELF-PITY-- Why? You can't simultaneously focus on two things: such as focusing pitying yourself while simultaneously focusing on building & completing your strategy. _____

By the same token, I think your post lacks empathy for OP. OP perhaps doesn't have the constraints you have. As an aside-- Do you really expect A. someone who has never met you and who has B. written a comment online before you arrived

Thanks a ton for sharing this! Super inspirational. I'm a self-taught developer, 34. My first programming job was only at about age 30. About 2 years later, I was consulting for Amazon, as a full stack engineer building a digital mark
