Too little, too late. Better just laugh it off.

Watching companies, like the ones you're thinking of, react the way you describe reminds me of listening to recovering alcoholics throwing their lives away. But it's too little, too late. Something has got to give, and you pray to

This looks to be the kind of hill that Indigenous scientists might describe as a burial ground. Famously, disturbing burial grounds ends disastrously for the trespasser. Now, imagine doing donuts on your cursed bike, round-and-round over th

Agreed. At the same time avoiding problems will also be deleterious to your health and resume. Seems like OP is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Things like caps are purely for show. Companies will find a way around it. Who's going to stop companies from wanting to grow indefinitely? You couldn't if you tried.

There was this ratio I read somewhere that described the number of people who owned a musical instrument versus the number of people who practice their instrument on a regular basis. I'd be surprised if that ratio is 2:1. It's pro

1. Slow it all down. Jeff Bezos may not be a good person, but he understands how to run a business. If he calls himself, "Chief Slowdown Officer", then maybe it's good for other organizations to think things through before do

Most mature teammates have this understanding where the author of a piece of code should be able to tell you how it works. In fact, sometimes changing that code might even require collaboration between the original author and the person req

Even without the threat of nuclear weapons, a country can fall apart all on its own through self-sabotage. I think people should be far more scared of self-inflicted harm. It's also the one risk that can be truly mitigated simply by ma

If I understand correctly, you have a family and you're working 2 jobs plus 2 side-gigs. I guess you should do what you can afford to do. And if you think you're burdened, I suggest you take a look at people from poor countries to

The absence of documentation can be considered a form of tech debt, and tech debt can be deadly. In addition to what you're endeavoring, you could ask yourself, what risks am I actually mitigating by back-filling missing or poorly writ

People are not wholly defined by their disabilities. In the case of someone with autism experiencing sensory overload, I expect them to build coping mechanisms because of their condition. Having a library of tools will improve their lives

I am not asking for proof. A demonstration of proof is not a required part of HN discussion nor would I want it to be. I am asking for an explanation in the OP's reasoning because I'm interested in their patterns of thinking since

I can see how you would say that I'm propagating a myth that it's all in your mind. What I did not question was the existence of the noise. Like any health care professional would do, I was asking for an explanation between sound,

I can see how you have arrived at the conclusion that I am belittling a problem. Coping mechanisms are useful. In my experience, self-pity is a symptom of other maladaptive patterns. However, people are free to pick their poison, so for fut

Are noise levels commonly associated with suicide? If the noise levels around you are those of a bike, a dog, or music, then that's far from loud. In contrast, have you ever visited a construction site? When you say that one of the thi

Like the other user said, sounds like fiction although you would need to work extensively with an editor if you plan on collaborating with a publisher. While, there are self-publishing platforms yours would be one of thousands of submission

An MBA could be what it takes to restore joy and vigor into an otherwise limp and depressing job. I've personally investigated alternatives, such as seeking mentorship. As such, I've had quite a few mentors in my life, but most of

Unless your company is doing things on the level of trafficking minors or racketeering, then the information that comes out will be run-of-the-mill oopsies. Having worked a bit in DevSecOps, I can tell you that storing clear-text passwords

I agree with this in theory, but reality always does what it wants. If the wheels in motion are too powerful to stop, then what's inevitable will be what happens. Like trying to un-ring a bell, here is a list of events that would preci

I'd rather take the time to make the right moves over flash-in-the-pan attempts. As the saying goes, "measure twice, cut once". I'd like to do some preliminary work up front as there will be plenty to learn along the way

The thing about mob programming is that it tends to lead to GroupThink. Mob programming feels good because you're not alone in facing this problem, which is a very human response. However, feeling good is not a reliable indicator of pr

Good question, but as always, the answer is "it depends". However, given how moving I find your username, I want to provide a few heuristics that I've personally found useful. 1. The merry-go-round If you find yourself in a s

Hey hey! I've met people who match the description in your post, and over time they've rocketed to success. Coding is not as important to a product's success as people make it to be. If you think you're good at coding, t
