I remember having the same problem earlier in my career. I inherited a code base that was a million lines of code and 15 years old. Things I tried: printed out the nastiest 2000 line function on a giant piece of paper, logged every function

I've worked in tech for over 10 years. I'm here to stay current with trends & ideas. I quit Facebook and major news outlets several years ago; this is the only news I read besides The Pour Over.

I currently work 32 hours per week. When I was in the the office it was a 4 day week; now that I'm remote I prefer working about 6.5 hrs per day. I negotiated this with my employer as 20% less working hours for 20% less salary. I love

The article casts office forced-fun birthday parties as toxic, and yet the only alternative mentioned is co-workers voluntarily gathering together to drink alcohol and complain over zoom...as if that isn't also toxic. Hello everyone, w

This article was funny and had a good moral wrapped in it. The part where he pays his competitor is priceless. "A tear rolled down my cheek for every single digit of my credit card that I entered in their app"

The 4-day workweek is great! Have you asked your current employer yet? If you like where you're at, it's not necessarily a reason to leave. Twice in my career I've started at a full time schedule, built trust for years, and t

This is helpful context in understanding the saying: "If anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well." (Matthew 5:40) The ethic described in the modern vernacular is to "go the extra mile."

It's not uncommon for the stock market to fluctuate by 2% in a day (like today actually), which means he'd only need a portfolio of $5 million.

This is the natural consequence of killing God, as Nietzsche observed. Without an objective basis, there's no objective truth about what's valuable, right, or good. But we desperately want to be right, so we ignore what God says i

How many interviews with non-FAANG companies have you done in the last year? Before dismissing the industry entirely, find some interesting companies and interview them for the culture you're looking for. Also, I've been program

I didn't ask them about the heat issue since I attributed the issue to my cheap non-Apple adapters. Issues they've fixed for me for free: broken back-plate on the old 2010 white unibody macbook, as well as a stuck key on keyboard

I noticed my 2019 MacBook Pro physically hot to touch even after being idle for 8 hours at night. Now I unplug my USB-C monitor and USB-C-to-USB-A adapter at the end of the day and that has solved the problem. Now when I come to the machine

Earlier this year we had 3 children in daycare. From a budgeting perspective, US policy doesn't make sense for parents. Once children are in school, cost of childcare reduces dramatically. But before then, you're on your own. I wo

“Humankind,” Suzman writes, is apparently “not yet ready to claim its collective pension.” So why haven’t we traded rising incomes for more free time? Good question. This is part of the reason I'm in process of switching to a part-tim

Right. Isn't the intuition that the comparison and swap rule is applied to every possible combination? Put another way: How can you rearrange everything based on order and expect the net result to not be ordered at the end?

I think you're right there would be huge challenges you mentioned. But I still think that the smarts of modern IT business-logic coupled with the scale of a company like amazon could at least do better than throwing it away in many cas

Why not have the customer hold onto the return item until another customer buys it as used on amazon, and the return label ships directly to the new customer? Sure people could send unacceptable returns, but couldn't that be mitigated
