I could see making a historical case for both basic nutrition and gut health (these can be done with a lot more specificity now days). There are so many choices of recreational and commercialized drugs in modern times if you remove the stra

If you have kids that want to do things in a pretty non-conformant way (with beautiful irony) I'd recommend taking a look at VMI and The Citadel, neither requires military service afterward (although it is an option and a good one to p

SRE has a lot of people without degrees. I don't know if SWE is still an ivory tower but just SRE salaries at G and FB can debunk this theory.

Have you ever used alcohol or seen the affects it causes on others? I'm not advocating for or against either drug but this is a most unusual opinion, it sounds like you are describing alcohol to a tee in some gaslighting way.

What you say is true per course, but it's uncommon to find managers that are humble and secure enough in their own personal value to treat everyone with respect and growth mindset. It's an IC's market right now, keep moving

Writing is a tool. Think of this article like a runway, and you the reader as an airplane trying to take off. Hyperbole can and did introduce a bit of turbulence to induce lift in your mind to get you out of follower mode and thinking cri

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day. What a hoot. Look at the job req for "hardware engineer": they have no idea how to solicit EEs or what they are even looking for on the _most_ important roles for even doing som

Except I wasn't. SpaceX has done well for cargo launches. The cargo work appears to be good enough with great economy and any losses can be modeled by the mature insurance industry.

Yup let's see how the non critically thinking Musk fan thing works out for you in 10 years. People like Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman would be shaking their heads at these spectacles.

It's not cosmetics. What kind of tolerances can you get dangling a massive assembly from a crane in the wind? How many people are cross checking the work? What kind of instrumentation are you using to check joint quality and integri

Any elementary student of history can tell you how bad an idea this is. Apollo 1 almost ended the program. A backlash in public opinion will crater SpaceX in the market and legislature. There is no space mission in the near decades worth

I had an unpopular opinion amongst friends that this thing looked like a total piece of shit, like a movie prop. They were using rented lifts and cranes to assemble it in the field. Clock right twice a day or maybe there's a reason e

That is certainly the case, yet this rule has not been applied on other comments like people shitting on Linux or Oracle or whatever creating a lopsided discussion and a ton of misinformed young people over time.

A white collar job can become a mental torture chamber if you are surrounded by bad people. There is an abundance of exploitation, bullying, futility, and lack of fulfillment in current tech culture and very little support structure. Menta
