I find these Reddit focused threads on HN to be lackluster. They read just like threads on Reddit do. Which is - uninspired, dull, and repetitive. I hope we stop talking about Reddit because the only people who seem to ever give a shit abou

This is a great way to get management up your ass and get fired. End of the day, it’s all about the culture of your workplace. No one here really understands that. I’ve been interrupted more during remote work at some companies than when in

I think naming a public road after someone is a lot different than naming a private company's product after someone.

If the modern process didn’t involve so much leetcode and insane amounts of highly tuned preparation - I’d agree this would be reasonable. However, it takes most candidates that I know over 100 hours of prep to even pass most technical scre

It happens but it’s not common for people in SV these days. Most of the young people you’ll meet in SV are overachievers. This is because almost no one is willing to hire someone with a bad gpa, low tier school, or with meh projects/in

A lot more today than in 2013, afaik. I know quite a few people who got hired at Fb back then who can’t get hired there now. I’d say at least 200 problems, if no leetcode experience prior. Maybe 100 if you’re just refreshing. In both cases,

Yep. We changed social expectations and allowed women to choose partners fully based on whatever they deemed attractive rather than coerce them into marriages they didn’t want. (Either initially or ever) Straight women’s sexuality is drasti

I see a lot of people recommending specific forms of dance. I’m gonna be a bit more broad and say “social dancing” overall. Specific dance recommendations can lead people to give up quickly when running into base issues. Swing dancing will

To be clear to folks about this - both BJJ and CrossFit have a community element to them. (Especially CrossFit as far as I’ve seen) I cannot say that is true of everything else. Yoga has no community for most classes you’ll take out there

I’m an early 30s male and I’m in your shoes as well. I found it to not be a very conducive space. I think it does vary a lot. I’ve only climbed significantly in NYC and SF. I’ve done some in PDX but not regularly. I didn’t find any of the g

It’s really only important to the companies that can afford to teach it. If you’ve got a product that’s lasting to stick around for 10 years - it’s probably a cash cow. You can afford to teach engineers at that point. For a lot of the compa

Formatting the text to be exactly like the email is probably more hassle than it is worth. It’s not likely to be a simple copy/paste into their CMS.

Yep. This is exactly what happens. I already had a strained relationship with my parents but when they invaded my privacy - I decided to lock it down way harder and cut them out entirely from my life. I'll pickup a phone call from them

I mean, come on. Almost all growth stocks have been completely hammered in the last 18 months. Nearly every SPAC is down monstrously from its merger. All the hyper growth IPOs have dropped to a quarter of their ATH - with many startups not

The biggest issue is that community doesn’t always find you wherever you are. You can be outgoing, well liked, and so forth but sometimes wherever you live just isn’t going to work. We have a finite lifespan - so we can’t try every sized ci

If you want people to take on jobs purely for non-socioeconomic reasons then you might need to fix the underlying socioeconomic problems. (e.g. cost of housing) I don't see any real movement from older generations to do anything about

The top comment is currently saying that diet, exercise, and a good social network are basically a cure-all to all issues in western society. I'm being a bit reductive but so is the comment.

When you have a high income - you have more to lose by having children. When you have a low to no income - you don’t lose as much. It’s why poor people always seem to have more kids. There are other factors but it’s one of the large ones.
