Ah, thank you for these two points and the book suggestions! I too am not an original thinker and I often synthesize ideas on this matter incoherently. But how is it that it is not universally accepted that the structure of employment, even

I got this video recommended to the point of nuisance. Ended up subscribing after watching the video though.

I thought so too. But didn’t want to post because it is a total guess. Breaking and ending a once loving, intimate and totally absorbing relationship is one of the hardest things for a human to endure. The end of anything is always sad, the

LOL. Thank you very much for this! It takes satire to make us see how far we have come thinking the way we do. Well done.

Is this intimated in the linked PDF? (I haven’t read it yet). I agree about being poor negotiators when we’re young - and young is only a function of how long you have spent in the field you’re negotiating.

I am not familiar with nuances of Chinese culture, but I was so intrigued by the "guanxi" phenomenon that I immediately and gladly spent half an hour reading about it and watching Youtube videos of the "guanxi" culture i

"Beyond wealth, there is poverty of taste, standards, and expectations, family practices and emotional intelligence..." This is beautifully written, thanks for sharing your experience.

How many hours a day are you coding without human interaction? Are you taking breaks? The main problem is that we can't switch modes or switch off - even temporarily. This happens to me often. I have been somewhat of a remote worker fo

But it's more than the romance of the ink that is missed. One has lost the visual impact of all discards with the use of the virtual trashcan. The psychology of seeing or the stark visual impact of a trashcan filled to the brim with al

Hi ris, Can you provide example(s) of the broken query with non-GROUP BY columns in an aggregation? (Or a reference link if this is well known - I've searched briefly but can't find anything.)

Same here, terrible sleep when all you're doing is attempting debugging or refactoring without a keyboard. I am sure my short-term memory of non-programming related activities is severely affected because no matter where I am, I am cod

Precisely. That would of course be the follow up, meta analysis.

No 10. sounds just like something Slavoj Zizek would say.

Translated from French of course and most likely trying to keep to its idiomatic French flavour it comes out a bit of verbose. :-)

My acceptance of my own slow thinking has terrified me no end my whole career: terrified of interviews, on the spot tests and of selling (especially when dismissals are based on incorrect or flawed understanding). I always go home to brutal

Not in an interview, you can't.

I agree! Purgatory of not quite failing. Dammit, I wish I could share a drink with all the commenters here! :-)

girzel, You have to “cheat”. Cheating is when you build your side project/business while employed. Some can arrange this but many simply can’t. I chose to quit a lucrative, somewhat stable consulting gig and with reliance on savings to

It's implied, isn't it? "I goofed up" is admitting that "I didn't test it thoroughly". A more interesting question, imo, is: how does the user/customer community receive an honest admission of goofing

Fantastic story, thanks sharing. Wonder who discovered this first? One of those strange human achievements. Also, we should call you Danny.

I've always considered books just too precious to be binned or thrown away. My dad was a teacher so books were all we had, devouring whatever came our way. Sometimes rereading the same works again. We moved a lot so finding a library i

They were lucky. You were not. That's it. How can you blame yourself for that? It's most likely NOT about whether you were mediocre talent wise or about dedication and work ethic. Many people do not appreciate the role of blind an

Thanks! This looks like a proper list. I’m happy to see older frameworks like Knockout listed too. Many thanks for this.

This is great. It’s an excellent idea for Rosetta Stone(s) for different JS frameworks - all side by side with minimal but working code. This could be a start.
