Bingo. Work and life are two separate spheres for me. Having physical separation of them is important. I realize not everyone is like that. I’m also not a parent which would probably tilt the equation for me.

Not OP - I'm in my mid 30s and do this for roughly the same reasons.

This is a helpful reply. Any further literature (blogs or books) that you'd recommend to learn about these concepts?

I’m right there with you. Turns out talented people tend to be really interesting people to talk to. My favorite moments over my career were in person, often late at night when we were solving a hard problem. There is something about workin

For some of us, work is where our social circle. Not all of it and definitely not a reliable one. But if I’m spending 8 hours a day with people, I’m likely to develop friendships with them since that’s easy.

Then you haven’t had the full experience. Let me walk you through the awful things about parking: * circling the block over and over until you find a spot. * making sense of the layered rules on parking signs to make sure you can park * fin

This has happened to me too. They are strangely aggressive about it.

Just want to call out that I owe a lot of my career in webdev to DO tutorials. My first stack, LAMP, was heavily covered by DO. Kudos to you and your teammates.

Search is the entry gate to an ecosystem. You capture attention in a highly frequent, highly sticky action, and historically profitable area - you are set up to land and expand (gmail, gcal, etc). Google took Microsoft's lunch. Windows

Fantastic insight. Carl's Jr is another example, atleast in the early 2000s.

I think there are aspects of it that are getting worse. Is React better than using vanilla JS? Yes. I like not storing state in the DOM. Is it worth the layers of abstraction, both mental and infrastructural? This is a difficult question

Agreed - very cool use of Wolfram. There's probably a niche product here around reproducing this just for finance folks.

I have no horse in the race as I rent in the east bay. This just isn't going to happen. If anything, the declining commercial real estate is going to push up home values further because people want better WFH setups.

I go into downtown (specifically soma) about once a week. It is just an absolute ghost town now. The biggest change is in the energy - there was a real mood to friday after work in that area with bars and restaurants filling up. I don'

When you believe in a new technology and mission, as many at Meta do about the metaverse and VR, hiring isn't boring. It's exciting to be able to bring on more people to execute a vision you're bought in on. I'm a founde

Less a fundamental issue and more a receding of the wave post pandemic. I’m going to guess they assumed that growth would last and hired against it.

Patriotism is a good one. A lot of people want to serve their country but don’t want to run for office. This is one way to exercise your talents and also serve your country.

OP here - maybe you're right. You have to remember, these kinds of games ingrain heavy habits. You get a feel for various nuances in the game (eg shooting people through a wall, recoil of a certain people). They may feel surface level

The headshot adjustments were so bad. It felt like everyone in source was getting a headshot. And completely agreed on deagle - you had players _just_ rolling with it the whole time. One other change I remember is that the AK became a prope

At a LAN party I hosted, I'd typically demolish my friends at CS. So one time, unknown to me, they installed a hack on their side (aimbot?) and always started headshotting me. I remember getting flustered (I was and am a competitive pe

Is this true? I used headphones all throughout my CS days. Stereo sound in headphones was enough to give a competitive advantage.

If they copied your site and beat you, they deserve to win. Ignore and keep building. Your superior product and eventual superior brand are not cloneable.

That's on $12B in revenue, 4% churn, and having reformed one of the oldest, entrenched industries ever. I know nothing about the guy, but can you agree that's a remarkable achievement? He keeps his job because he's promising

Same. Isn't their churn ridiculously low?
