Do people really think that those seeking an abortion will find it harder because Meta banned a few accounts. I don't know who's behind this, but they're delusional.

Ok as you say yourself, you need work to pay the bills. That’s fine. Now what you want to look for is not what a company does, but who your teammates are. You’re going to spend a lot of time working, so the most important is that you like t

I mean no offense but comparing fault tolerance to being tolerant with other people only works because it’s the same word that’s used for both meanings. But that has absolutely nothing to do. If it weren’t the case, you’d argue that people

What do you mean? Technically it works, no? it is an incovenient database, for sure, but the fact that people can trust it enough that they put billions of dollars in it is remarkable. I wouldn’t put my house in an S3 bucket…

Well technical debt is not really a technical problem, it’s a choice. Someone at some point said: ok we’re going to duplicate code, we’ll have a windows version and a Linux version, and yes it’ll be painful - for a while - but at this stage

Well, my point, if it wasn’t clear, was that I simply don’t find those problems fun. I enjoy programming a lot, but most of it comes from things like designing APIs that work well and that people enjoy using, or finding things that allow me
