This feels less like a dev-specific crisis and more like a timeless human pattern. We romanticize the past and nostalgia makes us believe what we loved is “dying.” In reality it’s not gone, just changed and harder to recognize from our old

Yeah, the journey to stimulants for me was long and painful, with a lot of procrastination on my part. And now even having them prescribed it is a pain dealing with the bureaucratic / expensive nightmare of USA health insurance.

Yes! I've studied Japanese for years and read numerous novels in it each year, yet I couldn't physically write to save my life. But there's nothing crazy about that, like you said it's similar to spelling (not entirely,

Reminds me of how movies / shows these days have gotten so dark, when in the past even dark scenes were often lit in such a way as to show details.

What does that mean?

I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean resources aren't finite?

Correlation is not causation. I think the reality is infinitely more complex, given how many huge changes coincided with the launch of ChatGPT.

Sometimes I mourn not finishing my astronomy degree, but ultimately I suppose I went the right direction.

Interesting. I had to stop taking sertraline because of the bruxism. I've been debating going back though, it did wonders for my anxiety / mood.

Exactly, it's quite an enabler, as one of the biggest issues for folks is not wanting to ask questions for fear of looking inadequate. Now they have something they can ask questions of without outside judgement.

Yeah, given you bump into a different coffee shop every 100ft in Melbourne, I'd be surprised if tea was winning.

Maybe I’m just too deep into coffee at this point, but unless yaupon has different origins, processes, or varietals, I don’t really see folks in the specialty coffee world making the switch. That said, it is interesting, and I’d definitely

You’re missing the point. It’s not a simple ‘high taxes bad, low taxes good’ binary—it’s a spectrum. The U.S. has a tax structure that allows wealth to concentrate at the top while failing to enforce competition, which actually stifles inno

by diob 2y ago
People underestimate how much our regressive tax structure and lax antitrust enforcement are holding back innovation. If we didn’t allow such massive wealth concentration, we'd see more competition and breakthroughs.

This is what I did. My parents also told me college doesn't matter, just the degree (which was their way of saving money). Not that they paid a dime anyways, they just always felt comfortable lying to me if it saved them any amount of

Trump is someone who prioritizes political convenience over ideological consistency. If it served his goals, I wouldn’t be surprised if he found a way to disarm opponents while ensuring his loyalists remained armed. This kind of selective e

It's because coding interview questions aren't so much assessing job skills as much as they are thinly veiled IQ tests. I think if it was socially acceptable they'd just do the latter.

Yeah, a lot of folks think the USA is untouchable and "it can't happen here", but so many other countries felt the exact same way. You're fine until one day, you aren't. There's no magical barrier making the U

I used to think everyone got migraines everyday, then I got diagnosed with sleep apnea. Hardly a thing for me anymore now that I use cpap, but I dealt with them constantly until my senior year in college. But it reminds me how we only real

Working memory being terrible is one of the biggest issues I experience with my ADHD. I forgot why I went somewhere, or worse I do something different upon arrival.

It's absolutely willfully omitted. I guarantee 0 evidence of anything will ever come out, just shock headlines to make it seem like they're doing something.

I have a love / hate relationship with legacy projects. They're a fun puzzle, but often times the client has suddenly realized it's not possible to reach X and then I'm called in to make X possible. It can burn me out

Yeah, I appreciate the link to the source / study.

There's always money to be made from things failing or instability unfortunately. There's a reason they want to cause the economy to crash.

by diob 2y ago
Wow, thanks for this. I can relate to this instability, but I'd never seen or heard of this follow on study.

This seems similar to the broken window fallacy.

Improbable is probably how a lot of citizens of countries have felt in the past before their savings lost their worth. I'd rather us not be risking it at all.

by diob 2y ago
I'm honestly terrified that they'll turn my savings to some sort of nothing by fucking over our currency. I don't know how anyone isn't.

Trump resisted handing over power after the 2020 election, and to date, he has faced no significant legal consequences for those actions. Given that lack of accountability, is it unreasonable to suggest the stakes will be even higher in 202

As with anywhere, laws are toothless without enforcement. In some cases, they are enforced ruthlessly on one group of people, and not on others. This is a feature, not a mistake, by the way. Well, a feature for those with power, not norma
