What you call complacency, I call contentment. Some of us don't like job hopping. Still others of us don't like startup or hustle culture. Some of us have families to support and are quite content to work hard for better than a

Being legally required to do something as a landlord, seldom translates into something convenient or even in one's favor, as a renter. Most landlords I've ever had use "legally required to do so" as a way to do the bare

First of all, assault is not a "minor" crime. Secondly, you're sealed into a tube with 100 other passengers, over the Atlantic ocean on a 14 hour flight. One passenger who cannot control themselves, decides they're goin

I have the Galaxy Buds as well as the 2nd Gen AirPods. I cannot get the Buds to stay in my ears with any regularity because all of the weight of the Buds, is out at the end that is not in your ear. The AirPods have all of their mass insid

Thank fuck someone said this. Most users don't want to tweak anything related to their phones, tablets, computers, watches. If everything your app does, isn't reachable within 1-3 clicks/swipes/presses, then forget it.

Um providing an API endpoint to a closed, proprietary system, does not make one open source.

This is kind of an odd viewpoint. Whether we spell "shit" or "s**t", you say the same word in your head.

The rules in our house are, the only bad words, are words used to hurt other people. Having said that, cussing is a rite of passage in our house. We all cuss like sailors.

What obligation does Twitter have to provide anyone with a platform?

Truly a loss to the game of football. I will forever remember his voice while commentating as well as him drawing on screen in a silly fashion, to explain different plays.

You indeed can if there are nuisance neighbors and I believe that is considered a material fact in most states. However, most documents, I believe contain a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement which would have had a line indicating a

Appointing yourself arbiter of integrity of an entire profession, is exactly gatekeeping. The OP stating he had 10 years of experience, in no way, shape, or form, has any affect on you...whatsoever. If their stating so, made you angry in so

Why are you gatekeeping this profession?

Just curious what you expected to show for doing something for 10 years? Progress? Improvement? CEO of MAANG? You repeatedly say "I am stuck". What does that mean to you? What does "being proud of" something you&#x27

Sometimes I'm torn between boycotting a company and understanding that surely not everyone who works for Blizzard deserves said boycott. Who does a boycott really hurt?

Your app claims to help with OCD, however, unless your app uses Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), other forms of CBT are contraindicated for OCD treatment. Can you explain succinctly how you help with OCD?

I'm cheering you on too! Set your sites on what you want and don't waver for as long as you can. It will happen!

Invariably, comment threads like this, pop up when I provide some current thoughts about my career. A career that quite a few HN readers share apparently, but that's where the similarities end. Quite a lot of you didn't grow up i

Haha...interesting you'd say that. I worked for two State Governments, Oregon and Nebraska for a combined 13 years total. I ended my career at the State of Oregon as an IT Director for a State Agency. So several things about state empl

This is highly likely and is worthy of much more research on my end. Thank you for reminding me of this!

My definition of growth mindset is the same as yours. I don't identify with it so much as I think of it as my baseline. Does this mean my baseline has changed? Absolutely. It's still irksome because I too enjoyed looking for opp
