Maybe we have different standards of what revealing means. To me it would be if she were wearing a bikini, showing underwear, having a low V-cut top etc. She's only "revealing" her cleavage because she has so much cleavage to

Slightly off topic: This post says "13 hours ago" but when I do an HN search for it, it says 1 day ago. I also recall reading many of the comments way earlier than the postrd date/time being shown. Is this an HN bug? Or am I

Probably travel for a while, take care of those bucket list items, and then figure it out. My creativity is completely dead from working in big tech (see my user name) -- it will take some time for it to come back and then have a sprouting

Do you have a source for this? This sounds like a fishy story to me based on my understanding of medieval society: 1. Peasants are often called up for military duty as levies (conscripts), to supplement the knights and men-at-arms. Especial

I keep reading/hearing about the relationship between psychedelics and Silicon Valley, but I have yet to meet that many people in real life who work in the SV software industry and use psychedelics. I'm a SWE who has spent over a

LOL reminds me of the time at work when I was helping a fellow SWE deploy his code to a new platform. It didn't work. He immediately blamed the it on the fact that we were using a new platform. I then noticed that we were also deployin

What's the point of the constant learning if it's going to be obsolete in 5 years? That's what I can't stand about the cult of "you get to learn so much at FAANG or a startup" -- at some point in life, you need

I started programming when I was 11. Taught myself C++ from that age. Solved tons of tough problems in personal and school projects before going into industry at age 22. Now at 35, I definitely think it's time to move on. I won't

For example, suppose you work on the Search for Android team, under Search. You might work to train others in Search and others in Android as part of the work on Search for Android. Those don't count as citizenship, because they are di

The mentoring part is specifically for areas outside of your team's work.
