I have started and stopped journaling times over the years. When I initially got a smart phone, i started taking photos of mundane everyday things. I’ve now been consistently doing this for many years. It just takes a few seconds to take ou

This is why I have interest in the FIRE movement. Our lives are short and fleeting. If there is even a small chance I can become financially independent before traditional retirement age, I am going to optimize for that.

Invest as much as possible in retirement accounts. Compound interest is an amazing thing.

I have always tired to find teams/companies with engineers smarter/more experienced than I am. As long as I work with people I can learn from I have avoided stagnation. This can be true in "tech" or non tech companies. T

This is exaggerated with remote work. I will always be friendly and kind but these people do not actually know me. Like you said, if they did they may not like what they find out. I am personally more effective remote but obviously that is

Are you currently looking for a new position? Reddit is not reality, there are jobs open. It may be more difficult now than previous years but its still possible. In my own circle I know of three people, including myself, who have new SDE j

We are living in unprecedented times. Social media (HN included) has created a stage for all 8+ billion of us to “compete” with each other. By definition almost everyone will be mediocre. I struggle with the same imposter syndrome as a soft

Unrelated to the article but I opened the link outside my home network and it is almost unreadable. Ads upon ads upon ads, normally this is all blocked by my Pi-hole. Is this really what the internet has become?

They have one developer position open which has a salary range of $140k-$220k USD. This is not worth six days a week in office. They do offer "Team-wide science reading groups" though

I am bullish on the US long term. Other developed countries have a population problem which is going to start causing issues. Sub 1.0 birth rates are a catastrophe for capitalism. The US has enough immigration to keep the population somewha

One of, if not the most important financial decision you will make, is who you marry. If you decide to get married, take your time and do not make this decision lightly. Find someone whose financial goals are similar to your own. Mismatched

I work completely remote. Although I agree with authors points about the daily standup being useless I use it as an opportunity to get “face” time with the rest of my team and build comradery.
