I'm not sure about that, but I do think that phrase is going to work its way into my resignation letter soon. "I'm very sorry (not sorry), I've decided to spend more time with my family."

This is asinine, discriminatory and unfair. I'd even say it's borderline malicious. Glad they named and shamed. I would't do any business with this company, nor attempt to work for them. A RIF has nothing to do with a person&

The title of the article is actually, "How Rust went from a side project to the world’s most-loved programming language" .. which is so annoying. "Most-loved" cannot be measured, it's so subjective. Why couldn'

That seems like the call of the board, no? Certainly, CEOs at any substantial level are accountable to a group of people. Everyone answers to someone.

Fewer words the better. I've seen people optimize their CVs for keyword searches (as in they put as many words as they can to be "caught" in a recruiter searching for buzzwords), but not for readability. Optimize your CV for

Honestly, any company which leads from the top like this, instead of having HR just ambush people about a "difficult discussion" they need to have, is going to be rated up high to me. Even more so, a company with generous layoff t

Me too, it's been a lot of years since I bothered with a home lab, but just recently I put NixOS on a triad of Intel NUCs work was throwing away. They're fanless, quiet and decent enough for Linux with their 16GB memory and 8 core

Again, I understand why most people think this way, and I'm not going to call you naive - just cynical. From my experience (not all of it, but a bunch of it) -- HR has been the balancing force against bad management and even CEOs becau

I get the whole "HR can be evil" point, but this article could have also been, "Having friends in management is fine, but management is not your friend". Personally, I'm so sick of the cynicism in general. Can we ma

Agreed, on a personal level, a little less so on a professional level (within reason) in that I want smart co-workers. I don't need to invite them all over to dinner to meet the family. That being said, we try to hire for low ego, high

Absolutely agreed, and I hate to sound like a Scientologist here, but I think a lot of people's struggles have roots in some trauma in their past. We're all shaped by bad things which happen to us, and for some people -- the ones

I disagree, I believe they are mental health issues because they're highlighting a process breakdown in how someone is perceiving the world, relationships and challenges. Is that to say that people don't have personalities which s

by frellus 4y ago
Spot on. It's a shame that we haven't prioritized (and de-stigmatized) mental health, especially at a young age, so horrible children don't grow up to be horrible ego-centric adults.

I've found that a lot of people in our industry (higher than 5%, probably much higher the smarter they are) have BPD or are on the spectrum which causes anger issues when things don't fit the pattern or outcome they're expect

Awesome, glad you liked it! Yes, I get bored when it's just one format and I like the mix of video, which isn't overwhelming, and then supplemental reading and exercises. I also love that the author makes mistakes along the way (a

Personally I'd highly suggest investing in time in both, but start with basic Elixir and understanding the concurrency model and functional programming if you're coming from an imperative or OOP world. If you like learning by watc

Wow, I really like this app. The way you've done this, it's extremely visually appealing, it's well designed and from the start I felt productive in learning where I'm weakest with my Japanese writing. Well done!!
