I didn't even know what programming was until I took a class in high school on a whim. And I was really good and fascinated by it. Stuff like that is what grade school is for. I didn't get any thing out of learning to knit or lear

This is how I feel. I keep cash in a safe at home for emergencies like natural disasters, but carrying cash is a burden. It's easily stolen and it's unwieldy to work with. The presence of cash immediately makes it more dangerous t

I split the difference with a Montessori School. Broad range of ages in each class. The whole school interacts during the 2 hour collective lunch and recess time. It's been a good experience for my kid and the school continues in a som

I hate that stupid OK cupid article because what is always missed is that it's not always the same set of guys for all women. Almost no guy was overwhelmingly considered attractive or unattractive by women. Women are picky, but what th

I feel like anyone who feels this way should sit and talk to the older women in their lives and ask themselves would they want that. I've talked to happily married women in their 60s and 70s and I hear nothing but abuse and more abuse.

That is not true. Especially after you leave the 20s. Men in western nations have a loneliness problem that women never experience as a group to that extent. After women give up on the prospects of children which usually happens somewhere i

The Europeans had endured some of the most devastating diseases that arose do to them choosing to live in close quarters with animals. The Americans just didn't have this habit. A lot of terrible diseases come from something that jumpe

Covering your deductible on your healthcare plan. I had a friend with this benefit and it was super important because she had an expensive medicine. I saw a colleague who specifically put in his contract that he always had whatever dates th

A lie. I have literally my entire adult life lived walking distance from the grocery store and I've even walked to the grocery store and I have always shopped weekly. Being able to cook daily is a luxury of time and energy. I don'

I was car-less until I was 27. I lived in cities with crappy public transit and great. I even lived in France for a summer. I continue to say that I like towns that are "bikable". I hated being in the heat, the rain, and the snow

There are a lot of people who wouldn't spend a couple thousand dollars to save their own lives, let alone their kids. People get hit with thousands of dollars for their kid because once it gets bad enough, the system takes over and sti

Some nearly 15 years ago, one of my elders told me to do this. I was later told this was the reason they picked me over someone else. That's the story of how I got a job at a megacorp. In massive companies, HR people can feel really un

HR has a reason for that. Yes, possibly lawsuits, but also there is a small minority of absolutely crazy people. It's a very small amount of people, but high enough that if you do a decent amount interviews, you will run into these peo

People mention survivorship bias because 20K/mo isn't doable in some situations. 20k/ is 240K/yr. That isn't peanuts in the vast majority of the US. I'm a programmer and I make multiples of whole families in my

We can't do it until literally everyone is willing to maintain multiple platforms. There's always people who don't and you end up on a situation where either that person is Isolated or what usually happens, people bend to the

This realistically. This is why I can't leave Facebook. There is no platform that all of my friends have some kind of presence on. Some of us have discord. Some us use whatapp. Some of us use $platform, but Facebook is the only one tha

Unfortunately they have to if they want to make sure parents get it. Every week my school's sends out a weekly email of everything happening in the quarter with emphasis increasing as time get closer. Then there's emails for when

I'm American and that's what I would say for "a couple". "As few" to me is just a small amount compared what is typical. So a few marshmallows might be 2 because generally people have somewhere between 5 and 10

There is something wrong with being forced to live any kind of life you don't want. If you don't want to be a housewife then being forced to be one if you have a child is objectively awful. Japanese women have spoken, they'd

I think incarceration is very bad at deterring future crimes, but it very good at delaying them. Someone in jail for 10 years is at the very least not going to commit a crime for 10 years. There is some merit to that until we have a better

Honestly, they might have just filled their quota. I've interviewed at companies where it wasn't that I wasn't good, but they found an acceptable candidate before I completed interviewing. A lot of times you're not inter

But then we have to start asking questions about why a woman is a single mother. Is it better for children to be in a single parent household or in one where he mother is abused? Or one where the children are abused? Is living in a househol

Exactly this. The last time I used cursive was 3rd grade when I learned it. When I was in college, the admin were appalled that I couldn't read their handwriting. I'd have to take these cursive notes to other older adults to narra

I don't think I've ever seen the price per unit unit not be the across brands of the same packaging type. Now this does get dicy for individual wrapped things, but outside of that everything uses the same unit in the same range. E

Tom Cruise is in an industry where he can be shut out at any given moment and there's only like 5 employers. How does that match tech? FAANG pays outrageously compared to regular dev jobs, but regular devs jobs are still pay absurdly h

I just keep thinking about the fact that literally everyone in my family makes less than that. To say that a developer _only_ makes 110K is high level privilege in many places including tech hubs. 110K is more than a whole household makes i

Is that true? I am only a dataset of one, but while my wage at a job may not rise quickly, my raise at a job jump rockets up. We can say that employers should reward employees who stay, but in an industry where getting your next job is triv

Burn out can be dodged for most of your career if you actually like what you do and you avoid environments that are a bad fit for you. I've never experienced burnout, but I have a lot of friends who have and to me their key problem is

What you're talking about to me is mid-level work. Seniors deal with ambiguity and feasibility analysis. Non-technical people often don't understand the level of tech necessary. They'll say, "I want a bridge about this l
