Case against it being all about discussion though, my original comment has been voted down for some reason. Please folks, just debate me or post a counterpoint. I think at the very least tie ability to vote down with commenting. In other w

I agree, I've seen a lot of downvotes simply on things that aren't pro capitalism. I wish comments were used instead.

Definitely true. I realized talking to my therapist that I was afraid I would be chastised for talking about my trauma or abuse.

Yeah, to be honest her exit was the least traumatic thing that happened. She's just collateral damage in my brain's attempt to section things off. I've been watching the MDMA treatments with some hope that they'll becom

Unfortunately, I feel like this is one of those things that those who haven't experienced trauma first hand tend to dismiss. Maybe it's because folks assume traumatic events are something the person can't help but constantly

Then you're willfully engaging in disinformation and dishonesty. If we can't agree to call things what they are, how can we hope to have any sort of discussion? You have to know that "BLM riots" imparts to those around

by diob 6y ago
I'm not sure what you mean, where am I unwilling to call out a group? The comment said BLM riots, which did not happen. In your own words, you are close to realizing why I say it's dehumanizing and meant to impart a meaning that

Gotcha, I do appreciate you taking the time to reply seriously. My issue with your definition is that means the only thing you'll deem an insurrection is a revolution (basically a successful insurrection). I think the BLM protests (fu

This is just moving the goal posts (not to mention plenty of weapons and threats were involved). In all seriousness, at what point would you call something an insurrection? Go ahead and define it now, that way in the future when "X&quo

I also started taking Zoloft (50mg once a day) this past year. I've had zero side effects, besides becoming way more mellow and less anxious. It's weird as hell but it's definitely changed my life for the better. I wish I h

It's the only mention of union, and it has zero references or numbers included.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply, I want you to know I'm not trying to attack you, just expand your mindset. It's very common for others to attribute their own failures to something outside their control, but look at othe

This is quite a privileged comment. Please realize that not everyone has the luxury to up and leave. This person might have tons of obligations, such as bills to pay, family to take care of, and depending on their location not much mobilit

I think basic income solves it nicely. You still get the allure of money (folks want to make more), but they can also now focus on innovation and creative endeavors. It's a win win in my opinion.

I've always told folks that no technology will save you from your own developers. A good application can be written in any technology, just like a bad application can be written in any technology. Certain technologies will try to guide

Depending on where you live, you're right to live in fear. In the USA, you're probably one medical emergency (cancer?) away from bankruptcy. I'm glad you got out, but hard work is no guarantee. A lot in this world is luck a

Follow on to a) Society is also structured in such a way that for the most part every job will have folks clamoring for it. When you are born without capital, you have to take what you can get. Unfortunately I think it's going to keep

It's state by state, and at least in Arizona (where I'm from), there is no minimum. Link to our laws: https://www.employmentlawhandbook.com/wage-and-hour-laws/sta...

I'm not sure I agree that it's not worthy of headlines. One of the big trends I see with those 10-20 hr a week jobs, is that they are automated in terms of scheduling to try and optimize profit. In other words, they call you in f

This is why I don't understand the massive cultural obsession over KPOP. It's one of the grossest abusive industries, and anyone who wants to know is able to do a simple google to find out. Those fans? They could use their coll

My thoughts are that I'd be in a lot bigger trouble if that happened. If I can't earn dollars, civilization is likely at the point where owning my house wouldn't even matter.

by diob 6y ago
Your last sentence is why I refuse to pay more than the minimum on my house payment. It's very likely we're going to experience inflation, might as well pay it back with cheaper dollars.

by diob 6y ago
That last sentence really resonated with my Ruby experience. After using typescript for a few years, it feels like stepping back to JavaScript development in 2012.

Yeah, you're definitely right, it helps to see you put it so plainly. I'm going to do my best to focus on what's right for me, thanks.

I think it's likely dependent on the person, and their ability to be close to work (commute). I'm certainly much happier working from home at this point, but I also used to have a commute of roughly 1.5 hrs a day. At this point I

You're exactly right, and I actually called them out on these tradeoffs early in the acquisition. They were talking about how they were surprised we were able to charge so much for our engineers on our contracts, when all of theirs had

by diob 6y ago
I hear you, and I appreciate the advice. There is a vesting cycle that's yearly, but ultimately it all depends on them selling them the company a few years from now (2023 or so). While I fully expect them to sell, I expect them to sta

Honestly, I was lucky enough to negotiate my total compensation around 3 years ago before the acquisition using an offer I had. So while I'll never see another raise again, I have very decent overall total compensation, especially for

I'm still early in my career (around 32, 8 years in), and I can heavily relate to what you said at the beginning. The company I work for recently got acquired and the entire culture changed to one of "fuck the engineers, only cont

You're kind of describing the situation we're heading towards already, as I see contract to hire as essentially an internship. And maybe it's just where I'm living, but almost everything is trending towards that. It&#x2
