I'm suggesting that the boring and menial work making up the majority of your day is, in fact, your job and if it's automated to any meaningful degree, you will be unemployed rather than freed up to do more interesting thing.

This is why every time I take a management, I regret it. I don't care about any business and I'm beginning to suspect I'm incapable of caring about any aspect of the job other than the wellbeing of the people on my team.

Rich techies losing money and having to sell one of their houses is pretty funny. Regular people missing mortgage payments is not funny.

All the regular programmers like us, working a bit and living our lives, are on the block. People like this guy want to take bread off our tables so he can roll around in even more money, but he has a soul, so he has to rationalize it away.

Picking fruit was my least favourite summer job as a teenager. I have several fruit trees in my yard now and while I love having that as a hobby, I still get pretty sick of picking peaches and that's just after two trees.

Pilots train dogfights a lot. They're not what you're thinking though. A 1v1 dogfight is over in one or two maneuvers and depends heavily on what kind of planes are involved.

Same. There aren't many brief glances at my phone that are seared into my memory, but a notification from DW news on New Year's Day 2019 is one of them.

This is much harder to do when you 1) have dependents, 2) are bad at interviewing, 3) don't have time to interview, 4) don't have in-demand skills and/or 5) are not financially stable.

Don't we? Or is our culture orders of magnitude bigger and thus the Platos and Mozarts and Hugos go less recognized due to competition from the Kants and Beethovens and Wolfes who are doing their thing at the same time? Did Plato have

The comment I was replying to seemed to be suggesting that both inexperience AND checklists are the problem. Checklists are never a bad thing.

Pilots with 40 years of experience use checklists every time they fly.

Summer vacation was awesome though. I don't mean that flippantly. Especially in grader 8/9/10 when summer jobs weren't as common. There are things you don't learn in school, and time for the sake of time is a precio

This might sound weird, but I don't want to be more productive. Not unless I'm compensated for it and we all know how that goes. I don't understand the HN crowd who are excited about productivity gains... Unless you're a

They've increased their effective hourly rate and, given that they haven't been fired, the company seems to be fine with it. What's not to like? Sounds like you should take notes.

I'm a bootcamper and I only nest if statements 4 levels deep.

I really think in <10 years it will be trivially easy for a single programmer to ask the AI for that code and move on to the next ticket after 10 minutes while earning $30/h accounting for inflation because productivity gains will h

Parenting is a many person job but we've decided to incorrectly model our society around the idea that it's a <=2 person job.
