How do you organize those notes?

> Perhaps Wikipedia should have allowed a kind of sub-Wikipedia: a sort of parallel wikipedia that deals in topics more akin to Urban Dictionary entries. It's an interesting idea. I imagine a sort of "Official" and "U

I called the dev form of this “tech trauma.” e.g., You were tasked with working on a ball of mud and it was miserable, so the next system you get the chance to build has to be the most scalable, modular, and cutting-edge thing ever, just to

Thanks for the considered response. I appreciate it. Fair play for responding to the money argument. That's fine. But redirecting that it's _only_ about money misses what I thought the actual point was. A fairer way to reframe my

The argument you're replying to is "if healthcare is a right, then you don't need to go other routes." Sort of like, "if you have nothing to hide, why value privacy?" It overlooks the fact that, while these sub

The GP mentioned cost, but I read it as a philosophical objection to the state forcing its insertion into the activity: > My problem with the current push for this type of therapy is the requirment that it be done by professionals chargi

Now extrapolate this out and realize that 25-50% of our global tech economy is basically waste.

Another thing to keep in mind is the size of the candidate pool. There's a lot fewer F# devs than PHP. Can make hiring a bit trickier.

Disagree. Unless we can create incentives for everyone to abstain, the poor and third-world countries are going to continue to reproduce at the same rates. The distribution will only get more skewed, and the deal will only get worse.

> The counter argument is that those metrics are, after all, visceral. The US has 40k traffic fatalities per year. You really think the government is (or courts are) going to kill a technology that could save 20k people every year? It&#x

You perfectly articulated my reaction to all of the complaints. It seems like people believe companies should aim for as close to zero profit margin as possible, as if margin is immoral waste akin to greed, and not fuel for for the business

Your app looks beautiful. This is something that I've wanted to build some time. Would love to help out if possible.

I imagine that most of the EE roles you've applied for have an order of magnitude fewer applicants than the software roles. The greater volume probably leads to a wider spread of skill levels, including the drastically under-skilled. I

There are plenty of places you can build valuable products and not have to think about optimization, ever. I'd imagine there are even places inside MANGA that you might get away without it. But, would expect those things to be the exce

One thing I realized after doing some studying is that your approach is limited by the concepts and tools you're familiar with. As I learned more about data structures and algorithms and as I practiced using them and evaluating the com

I really like the idea, but the two examples you shared are underwhelming. They just show up as two embedded PDFs in a plain page. I expected to see a wall of media and text, not a single document that could have been shared on any platform

Looks useful, but that's a lot of detail and small text. Maybe start with an image of a messy inbox and a "Does your inbox look like this?" And then a tidy one with labels on the side, and a "Turn it into this, with one

True, but it seems like it would be nice to know where to draw the lines. More sleep is good, but how much more? Etc. Sometimes, it feels like there's so much going on that it's hard to know if it was the sleep, the diet, the even

We lost a coworker to COVID-19, early on during the pandemic. It was surreal to go from seeing his smiling face in the hall to reading the company-wide email about his passing. We had a virtual memorial service, and his friends, parents, an

There's a clear, direct correlation between my level of physical activity and my mental health. If I'm not active, I feel lazy, lethargic, and self-loathing. If I am active, I feel confident, energetic, and ambitious. It doesn&#x2
