I truly appreciate when tools come with everything one needs to know about how to use them. I think it helps foster a real sense of sustainability.

Since Apple cares about their ecosystem so much, I wish they would give a bit more of a shit about Xcode. I wish they'd keep updating AppleScript more, or just completely replace it, but I do not blame Apple on that one. Swift could ab

That is a valid risk, for sure. What I initially meant was that taking a gap year is a risk and not taking one is also a risk.

I've never taken a gap year, but all I will say is that there is also a risk to remaining in one's comfort.

Nothing good last forever. Not saying things won't eventually improve, but hey, maybe they won't? Still, I think a lot of people treat being a dev as more of an identity than a career. Those with such identities will have a harder

by hirvi74 2y ago
I feel like being a dev has taken a toll on my body in the opposite direction ---- "use it or lose it." Perhaps it's because my brain is full of software issues itself, but I don't have enough energy nor motivation befor

I live in the US, and according to what I read online, I am severely underpaid. The thing is, I don't really care. I have almost 9 years of experience, and I haven't even broke $100k yet. I work in government (state level), so it&

I'm sorry, but I can't help but find a lot wrong with the article. It comes off as some rich man's attempt at cosplaying as Bear Grylls. I am not going to say the author's entire journey was a waste of time. I do not bel

I do not see a general strike happening. It'd be great, but us cats are too fat right now. What I mean is that people are living too good on average. I think we are still in the 'crabs in a bucket' phase. So, I think if a gen

I think many understand what is happening, but what can Americans do about it? Posting online and attended protests are not going to move the needle much. What I fear most is that violence might be the only solution, but I would love nothin

I would find trying to solve such problems with known people in known environments to be somewhat stressful too.

I'm quite conflicted on this. While I do not think one needs to remember/memorize a bunch of brainteasers or past computer scientists'/mathematician's PhD discoveries in order to build CRUD applications. However, I

Probably, but no telling. Do you remember the "Heartbleed" exploit in SSL many years ago? There were allegations that the NSA knew about and used that exploit for many years before the public ever knew about. However, that is not

by hirvi74 2y ago
Hell, I honestly believe the NSA does not need a backdoor anyway. They have some absolutely frightening people working for them. I believe some of the best of the best. I do not believe there is such thing as privacy from such organizations

OK, story time. I have friend/old-coworker that left my current employer for our state's version of the FBI. While no worker in his agency handled CSAM cases full-time, they all have to do rotations. There is a lot he could not te

My boy, Tim Cook, ain't a snitch though. (At least, I hope not).

I'd give myself one 24 hour period of "moping." I'd probably get piss drunk and just "get it all out," so to speak. The next day, I would then: 1. Work on myself -- start getting in shape, learn something new,

Both chemical explanations are highly oversimplified, and to my knowledge, are still completely hypothetical.

My current employer is chaotic and disorganized and lacks the necessary communication to operate at its true potential; however, I do not see pure, raw Agile fixing anything. In fact, I think in our circumstances, pure Agile would just be m

I concur. I work hunched over a computer, but I have realized over the years how hollow it all is internally. Most people do not only have no conception of what I actually do, but also, most people will never see it, use it, etc.. My work b

I am not very Agile nor am I certain I want to be. Do not get me wrong, I am not satisfied with how my current employer operates, despite claiming to be Agile, but I do not believe becoming more Agile would eliminate a lot of the issues eit

Thank you for sharing this. This is what I have been looking for. Tangental but related, but I think I read somewhere on YN that Canada was proposing a law that would legally require people with ADHD to be medicated if they wanted to obtain

No worries, I know I am hard to follow. Anyway, I think you are absolutely correct. Honestly, what you wrote is an apt description of me. I am in my early 30s, thus all I can truly write about is what I have experienced in my generation. I

I admire your conviction. Honestly, I probably should do something similar, but I am too afraid to do it. Like you said prior, the meds helped you focus a little at work, and to me, that is one of the few benefits I get too. However, it&#x2

What I said was merely an expression. In more literal terms, "Why work hard when hard work yields little to no results?" Basically, learned helplessness in a nutshell. At face value, I think I could potentially accomplish meaningf

The reward center of my brain is probably all kinds of jacked up, so perhaps people get something from these accomplishments that I do not. However, I agree with you. I have noticed this sentiment is leaking into even otherwise health indiv

Good luck getting any help if you live in one of the only countries that has healthcare tied to employment. It's easy to slip into a hole with almost no way out.
