Been on hacker news long enough to take bold claims like this with a few cups of salt but bookmarked so some kind of interest sparked (hah!).

Kind of hard to read something where the author considers every non-english languages equally worthy to emoji’s.. It was good in the 50’s but was important like 4-5 decades too long.

So yea let’s not use a company like this as best practice. Everything about this reeks of worst practices rising the wave of regulatory capture.

I feel pretty lucky I don’t really identify with this as a consultant. Often I get a light version of the full process and if you have a track record and seem like a guy you would want to have a beer with that’s usually enough. There are ex

Yes, that’s a feature. But it’s also discussed in the context of AI creating a massive/total job shortage. The timing is the tricky part, as job shortage grows maybe it would even mean lower minimum wage.

I haven't had the pleasure in 20 years to work with an architect that added much of value, corporate structure and putting people in boxes is such a strange thing to me in software, if you work with senior people they should be able to

Very us focused, why would you pay for university if you qualify? What else could be more in your country's interest?

As a European dev I want apple to fail super hard and implode. They used to be so cool and make slick hardware for their nische but now I'm happy to use worse hardware as long as they disapear from the face of the earth.

How do you go from basic via 6 years of working to 2023? Regardless, start your own company, luckily you're in the right place. edit: or do like my friend and code in the forrest :) https://thomasbacklund.com/blog/

Well traditional Swedish so mostly agree with it and it's nice to see the disruptors just not being able to steamroll over a 100 years of progress just because they're popular and from the US. Even if I like disruption, inovation

Interesting to hear the hackernews take, I'm imagining it's wildly different than mine but good to broaden your perspectives of "what is" maybe especially around here.

This is just the best. I’m gonna force this on you ger colleagues.

Yea that’s not how the power grid works though. It’s not a fungible resource that can be used at a time and place of your chosing. So it’s wasted or used right there and then.

You have a point that incentives makes people mostly obsessed with speculation and money machine scams. At the same time, even if it’s clunky buying a crypto hotdog compared to a paypal checkout or a international money transfer it’s been a

Regulation at all is hard enough, expecting it to work by social norm is just impossible. Even more so in a country where all women do 22 months mandatory millitary training and all men do 36.

American tech companies ads is just pure evil, not a fan of over regulation but the current state is just bizzare to me.

As a solo consultant this doesn't resonate so much. Isn't it like everything else that you can just look if they come in a suit or birkenstock? You cross polinate a bit from other succesfull places but mostly just work hard, play

Watch ”Clark” on Netflix for a fun take on events. But basically imagine a charming sociopath bankrobber back in innocent 70’s in Sweden. With the twist that the bank robbing that gave name to the phrase was made by someone psychotic and th

Honestly as a senior if I only focused on my ability to ”grind leetcode” I would probably be laughed out of interviews instead of having more work than I can handle. Your milage may vary but don’t underestimate team play and personality&#x2

Klarna has none of those issues. disclaimer: used to consult for a bit at Klarna. But payment sure is a solved problem.

Bizzare that they are not required to provide data to the city if that’s needed.

Imagine I promise to pay you back in Johannes-money that is pegged to the value of 1kg gold and then when it’s time to pay back I change the peg to 1kg rasins. I bet that’s pretty close to a default in most peoples opinions.

There's a really fun section in the amazing Norwegian comedy/drama "Dag". The premise is that you can't both have a good and fair society and good weather because the need to take care of everyone isn't serious

Mouth breather here, that's good to hear :) Always feels a bit like using a straw to draw air through my nose for me, possibly choir practice as a kid impacted it too.

You think all eu companies will die because microsoft will have to update their product? That’s a bit rash and random.
