That is a fair criticism. I have a lot going on in my life right now, and some of that stress is leaking out into my social media. I've deleted my twitter recently for similar reasons. If I could scramble my HN username and delete the

Of course the #hustle obsessed hacker news crowd would love this title. "Mental illness is fake! Mentally different people are just whiny and inferior, not a legitimate illness. Depressed people need to just stop it." What a load

I am not convinced you have actually learned your lesson here. You still sound extremely condescending. This sounds like a post from /r/iamverysmart. Leadership and emotional intelligence are part of intelligence. Have you thought

I like that we keep talking about privilege, no matter how much it irks the hacker news elite. I have a previous comment about this[0], so I will not go into too much detail. Nobody thinks they are rich or privileged. Now, the Hendersons do

This guy sounds like a massive, toxic asshole. I'm tired of dealing with people like this. It does not have to be this hard. Tech companies should fire more people just for being jerks. > I was mad that, while I spent my nights lear

There is an interesting book on the radicalization of 4chan titled "Kill all Normies" It's not perfect, but it is a fun read.

Google is such a joke. They need to get their heads out of their asses. Constant stories of bad support. Youtube is a complete horror show. And I seriously question if their cloud offerings have actual product designers attached. One great

You have a lot of really great points here. I think you are right. I will have to move on once I want a raise or promotion, but it's nice for now. I'm basically taking it as a chance to clock in, do a great job at work, clock out,

SAT is great at measuring who spent the most money / who goes to the best grade/high school but not a whole lot more than that.

It's all a joke. Legacy students make up 30%[0] of the Harvard student body. The best way to get into Harvard will always be money, everybody else is just fighting over the scraps. Edit: This number is incorrect. Legacy student accepta

If I may be so bold, where should I direct this complaint so that people hear it: When you delete a CloudSQL instance, it also deletes the back-ups associated with that instance along with it. There is also no way to mark a CloudSQL instanc

How do you justify working for facebook at this point? Between stealing money from children, selling and abusing your user's data, and allowing your users to invite a literal genocide, where does the "good" come from?

I'm all for not gatekeeping who "real" programmers are. But I feel like we are doing entry-level developers a disservice when we repeat "Learn to code, it's easy FREE MONEY!" It's not. It's a slog. Pr

That's fair, I should have been nicer. I am sorry. I do still highly recommend picking up a book specifically about coding interviews as I have found them helpful

Everyone complains about the white-board interview. And I get it: They are lame. But developers have been dealing with them for years, nobody has managed to kill them yet. You gotta learn to live with them. These interviews are looking for

Yep, sounds like beginning DevOps to me! It gets worse. But you eventually learn that it is just software and to not let it get to you.

Body modding has been around for thousands of years in various cultures. It's just something weird humans enjoy doing. What is wrong with wanting to look different? What makes you so great that you can judge people?

Elixir is the best programming language I have ever worked with. I absolutely love it. Elixir has totally spoiled me. The meta-programming ALONE is something I miss constantly when I have to use other languages.

Constant slowness and down times. Bad logging that did not provide enough information. Database backups would take an ETERNITY to dump, and even longer to restore. We once had a 5 machine cluster. We decided we needed to re-balance the clus

I've always been curious about working at one of these companies. I believe if I set the goal of getting hired at one of these places, I would probably be able to get a job: - 10 years professional programming experience - half-life, Q
