I thought this was all more-or-less intentional because somehow at the end of the day it delivers more wealth to executives and shareholders. So any attempt to really overhaul it will be immediately met with rather intense campaigns to pain

Young engineers can be childlike sometimes in that they hear a rule and feel like the rule MUST BE ENFORCED at all times, regardless of nuance. Coding best practices are tools. The wisdom is in deploying those tools properly.

I used to set my MacBook Pro on ice packs when working on certain processor-intensive tasks... Seemed to help!

Every five-to-ten years some technology comes around that's finally going to put software engineers out of work. Turns out the only thing truly successful at that task is economic mismanagement.

Yeah, just realized this is an Apple Watch competitor — but one that requires and odd new paradigm of interactivity that seems much worse than that of the Watch. Lifting your wrist up and having a small screen you can look at and talk to se

I believe the people who signed this define "free speech" as "forcing Twitter to promote every dumb thing I say."

> As the Twitter Files revealed... Haha. These people aren't interested in "censorship." And they're not acting in good faith.

Maybe it's because I've mostly become aware of SBF after the shit hit the fan, but I feel I've never seen this guy communicate in a clear and cogent way. It's all just mumbling, dithering, and dissembling. Even reports o

That’s an externalized cost and therefore none of our concern.

Sorry for insinuating one of your ~100 tickets (~$35k/~$350) over three years involved blocking a bus when in reality you were just being a constant low-grade nuisance.

"I could park with impunity in a place where parking was impossible" -- I.e., parking where he should've have been in the first place regardless of expense. "Also various speeding tickets." -- The opposite of parkin

"In sky" is a weird way to describe something that's clearly "on the ground."

Yup. This idea that a developer can work his or her genius in a dark corner is flawed. If you aren’t communicating what you’re working on, it’s hard to get credit or recognition. And it’s not an ego or bragging thing: It’s just fundamental

Alternate lesson: If your manager is telling you to complete tickets, don’t go months and months not doing that thing until you’re on the verge of being fired because — despite being a valuable member of the team — your manager is all con

I consider myself a staunch centrist on the "ask" vs. "guess" scale. :-) I ask all the time! And I'm totally comfortable with "no." But I try to consider the other person first because I think making unrea

I don't really care for the "Ask vs. Guess" framing. More like "make demands without considering the other person at all vs. think for a second about not imposing yourself on other people unnecessarily." But mostly

Good. Hacker News isn't an open-ended political site for people to post weird propaganda.

You're right! Which is why making Twitter's product worse when there are active competitors taking big bites out of their business seems... dumb?

Yup. It's super-easy to test and, yes, any nytimes.com link takes exactly a five-second count to open.
