Fr what sort of romanisation system uses an acute accent for that. It's much more akin to the latin flat accent. But in reality just leaving off an accent or using the u is more convenient for typing.

It would be nice if standup was actually about asking active questions only because then I wouldn't mentally fall asleep during it. In reality its almost always about just calling out names and hearing someone ramble until maybe you wa

I dunno when I run standup I am just as passive as when I'm part of it. I just prompt people to speak and then zone out if its not useful like every time.

YES. I remember watching day in the life of a se videos like 7 years ago when I was 18ish and vaguely considering the career (I didn't go for it and took a long route), and I remember distinctly that the whole point of stand up was tha

Would love to suggest this. Might be bold as a fairly new junior though haha. I do think these meetings would make far more sense if we only discussed things that people had issues with. If everyone's just rambling it's pointless.

I find that all of the positive effects he's talking about of trying to cut down consciously eventually fade away after a while. I dislike how the article acts like he's become enlightened from one detox. I've been in this mo

This is a question I want to know - is anyone actually paying attention to everything during standup? It seems some people are, because they occasionally have insightful comments. Even when I'm not distracting myself, I totally zone ou

This idea is super old. There was a game like this that was popular like 10 years ago. This is a worse version.

Being public school educated and coming from the sort of family that implies - one of corrupt and disproportionate power - definitely makes your story much less inspiring. That's a lot of cultural capital, connections and financial sup

As a junior that did not do CS at uni, a lot of stuff around here goes right over my head. I often do feel that I might never catch up. I just about understand what functional programming is in terms of a one line definition let alone any c

Looked up the average commute in London workplaces. It's about 45 minutes so not far off. But it's largely train. Which is a bit less mentally tiring at least if you only have to do it a couple times a week and can avoid the absol

You're wrong. Its the best office I've ever worked in with some of the happiest workers and a wonderful culture. I actually work there. You are getting very vitriolic about an extremely skewed hypothetical idea of my workplace tha

I think a good compromise is just partially remote. I 100% see the benefit of not being in the office every day. I like going in 3 times a week. My company has a policy that every person must come into the office 3 days on mode (so like, if

Seeing as we are forced to spend most of our waking hours working I would rather that I could get something out of that time other than wage slavery.

If you're married that helps too. I live in London, not the middle of nowhere, but I find it pretty hard to make friends here who aren't just closed off to new people and hard to get to know below the surface unless you are sort o

I enjoy water cooler conversation because it is refreshing and revitalising for me to have social interaction breaks throughout my workday, not because I want to do anything but my job all the time. People are not productive all day and tha

I'm very aware you can be lonely in a crowd and find solace in solitude. I've done both. I'm talking about my real-life experience here not a hypothetical. Working 100% remotely as a young person trying to find your place in

Your coworkers can 100% be your friends what the hell man. You must be very unpleasant to be around if you refuse to make friends with any of the people you spend most of your waking hours dealing with. The key is making friends with cowork

That's the whole point, lots of people ARE parents but aren't child raisers. Even traditional fathers who are part of the family but do not raise their kids because they expect their wife to ARE parents but are not primary raisers

Yeah asking questions on slack or sth feels so much more like you're imposing on people than just saying sth out loud or shadowing someone a bit organically in person.

Yep very much this. Why on earth would you choose to live somewhere that is a 3 hour commute. DOn't do that to yourself. Move. If your commute is that bad, either you're choosing a stupid place to live, or your town planning is te

I dunno man, work is most of my life so it should be an enjoyable social experience for me otherwise it's just a mind-numbing time sink. For me its really important that I find a workplace with a good culture where I can have social in

Yep, I've been bullied the whole time growing up and I didn't start making friends until I was about 20. I am friendly but I'm not good at making friends with people I might never meet again at parties. Wfh makes me want to h

No its highly important that they will grab a pint after. If you've ever been part of a sports team you would know team morale is vitaly important to them and they socialise and party together ALL THE TIME. The military do it to. Anywh

You wierdos want everyone to have to micromanage our own mental health like we're islands. Humans are social creatures with social rituals for a reason. We go mad without them. People shouldn't have to force themselves to do every
