When I get really bored I create a new account for fun. I normally realize it’s a waste of time and stop after about 6 hours of clicking trees or ores lol. However it’s always cool to see it’s still there and normally changes quite a bit ev

I suggest looking at more traditional work environments that hire tech roles such as banking, they’re conservative and more likely to be pro-office. I have a friend who works on the C# UI of a coffee machine for Costa Coffee in the UK and t

Not going to lie, I’d need to googled that nowadays if I wanted to do those things! Issue with polyglot development. Can’t you ask more fundamental questions like when to use an event listener instead, or best practices?

It’ll suck up much less if you know your real passion is outside of work. Instead of stressing about getting a staff engineering title, I enjoy senior and make some money to simply support that passion :)

I enjoyed support when I used to do it - I’m pretty sure my social skills suffered when I started working in isolation on dev tasks

Hey man, first off Merry Christmas. It sounds tough and covid can't have helped. Can I suggest, in the new year, going on something like meetup.com and trying to get to a social thing once a week? Maybe a board game night, maybe some 5

Can't remember who said it, but worrying about AGI is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars.

Maybe the average skill of an HN developer is Jeff Dean, and in a few years when they all graduate the world will be a great place :)

Interestingly those born in 2004 don't necessarily have them either - my neighbour was born then and mentioned that their year group don't use FB at all.

Can't wait for the Computer History Museum to re-open - moved to Palo Alto this summer and been checking the site weekly waiting for the happy news that I can visit! The Cray-1 is on the list of things I want to see too. Awesome job :)

I’m there now too but still work for an EU startup. Weird to think there’s such a difference - I’d be freaked out leaving for something without a written agreement!

Whaaaaaaaat? Where are you based? I've had that for every role in the EU/UK

I don't know... I think the point is not caring about being fired because they only explain timelines for a short period of time. I assumed the end of that period was being caught! But maybe you're right!

by exdsq 5y ago
I think I agree with you - but this post suggests going below that point. This is about holding on by the skin of your teeth blaming everything on being new until you’re fired.

This feels so wrong. I always understood this to mean a really good developer taking on two easy jobs, perhaps a senior developer taking two junior-mid roles that paid similarly to the senior role, so they can meet the expectation of the em

It was basically a bunch of rich merchants trying out a new financial instrument for a couple weeks. It's just got one hell of a legend around it.

Woah, who mentioned I wanted businesses to introduce these features? Of course it makes no sense to them. I’m saying we can get rid of them altogether as the majority of their work can be replicated. Up until now it’s been difficult to do t

Bands != Ticket Master. Right now the easiest way to release tickets is through a central authority that takes fees to manage them, and then control the resale market. You can take the tickets elsewhere like Stubhub but that introduces 25%

NFTs in regards to digital licences and tickets to events are game-changers in my eyes. I wish the focus was on that instead of on jpegs. If anyone is working on these, or wants to work on these, I'd be keen to collaborate.
