Yep it feels good to be disengaged from all that stuff. Personally it's about the hobbies, and forcing myself away from screens into nature. I enjoy sports so i'll get outside and play. Also fishing is a great one. Peace, quiet, n

Yup. I think this dude has earthbound playing on the video screen at his shows. He aint lying about listening to video game music!

Good points. I think if you are living a bachelor life, with a good tech gig paying six figures, yes you can get there by 40. If you max out retirement accts, live a decently modest lifestyle, have no debt. I bet you could hit 1million, if

Good opinions here. I worked at very early stage startup, and our huge competitors with 1 billion worth of funding were stealing our shit from day 1. Thankfully, we didnt spec out a nice API and all that shit because we were in startup mode

I think there is a difference because python doesnt require a web browser to run. People are just running programs with no web UI or webserver etc... If you really wanted, you could pipe your debug prints to a file and load in a browser if

Even then, some of my friends are rich buttholes who somehow manage to take many huge trips each year. International, snowboarding multiple times (denver, canada etc). It doesnt bother me much, but I sometimes feel bad for my wife. She seem

Yeah, i am like a social media hermit but doing fine in life. I kind of lucked out finding a wife whom I love. I care about her more than anyone in the world. I have 10 or so really close friends that i dont keep in touch with much. However

Yeah I think you are right about shaving costs. From the business perspective, you shave off 5 cents, times 10 million sales.. you got some serious $$$ there

Scenic route is definitely enjoyed especially in todays society. Even better if you are a little bit fucked up on drugs and traveling safely (train, passenger etc).

On the opposite side of this argument. I was there. I was shit in college but managed a degree and self taught programming. I was hustling hard to graduate and convince someone to hire me as a programmer even though I had no degree. I was 2

Interesting... i'm in a similar space where I found a decent startup, grinded for a year or two... and have pretty much been riding a gravy train ever since. In the midwest, making 100k in my late 20s and going full time remote soon. w

I do this twice a day at work, if weather is nice i will take a 10 min walk to reset myself. I like to close out all my fuckin tabs, take stock of WTF happened in the first hours of work, then refocus path. A 10 min walk helps refresh thing

Just popping in to say i believe the Equifax hack was also do to a 'bad manual deployment' similar to this. They had a number of servers but they didnt patch one of the servers in their system. Hackers were able to find this one s

this is great, thanks for sharing. It's funny hearing the stories of when these legends were just research geeks in college labs.

yeah good for you, many of us never even got into it to begin with. I will say my job got me a macbook pro (after decades of windows usage and hackage) and this bitch is still kicking ass 5 years later. Big ups for the laptop. iPhone, who g

same thoughts here. I mean i appreciate the article and write up. My big skill is openness, communication, honesty. I have worked with many brilliant nerds who cant stay focused and literally contribute jack shit to major projects. They pro

I understand how existing legacy companies would use Oracle db but are any new companies out there adopting oracle software? Is there some wave of startups that pretend it is 1980 buying licenses for database tech?

Good for you! Scrappy young me fresh out of college was willing to do anything. I wasnt a CS student, self taught coder. I grinded HARD for a couple years. But hey you are a 23 year old smelly dude with long hair. Nobody likes you anyways.

I'm not entirely sure on the details. Some similar companies were getting bought for hundreds of millions, ours was only an 8 figure deal, not 9 figures haha. we went through multiple rounds of funding so shares got diluted...However w

We actually got a bigger bonus as part of the acquisition, just not technically stock options. My total comp after the take-over is roughly 120k (pretax). For my situation , it was pretty amazing. I'm not on the standard path of CS deg

I started off as a wee-lad fresh out of college (degree in science not computer programming) so was on a 50k/yr salary and i got options too.

This is cool... I was first employee at startup who sold about 5 years later. My original stock options sheet said my shares would be worth a cool 1.2mil. Turns out the shares were only worth about 60k. Pretty solid , but not fuck you money

Yeah. interpreting wtf your 'guy' is trying to convey is half the battle. We dont do sprint planning. We listen to a madman rant for a couple hours about shit and then try to come up with some semblance of a sprint plan lol. After

I extensively watch music videos and live music performances on youtube, comments are fun to read. Not sure they are completely necessary but i've learned some interesting things and been turned on to good bands from YT comments!

I think vanilla VI (basically just modal editing in general) empowers the user enough to make it worth knowing. I'm pretty damn proficient editing code in a project (that I know granted) with hundreds of files using standard VI when i

Just wait for the vim guy who will be like "but muh java plugins make it more efficient then IntelliJ"... I think i am more productive in an IDE, faster. Sure if you have this insane VI/EMACS setup that you have tuned for yea

I would love to have a DS1 like journey but it's unlikely for a pokemon. Maybe a spinoff pokemon. You know how many people arrive and firelink and spends hours dying to skellies? This pokemon version would need to put level 30 pokes ha

You are right, the combat is crap, durability sucks. But the 'world' is mainly what i was referring to, the visuals and journey. Not the combat. /uodtl is right about all of those things. I admit i never actually finished BoT
