I guess I sort of grew up in the SaaS era - to this day it blows my mind that one of the most perfect pieces of software I have ever enjoyed - N64's Goldeneye - was created by ~10 devs, who had one single release. I often fantasize abo

The people who seem most enthusiastic for giant bank accounts (read: billionaires) seem to lack these morals, by and large.

Can't speak for OP but I haven't deactivated my FB to keep tabs on my elderly father. It's an enormously toxic force in his life and it gives me some sense of control when I know what's influencing him. Especially in the

The rate at which is gives teenagers depression is enough of a reason, imo. There's broad consensus this stuff is detrimental to young people's mental health. Facebook claiming otherwise is akin the Philip Moris company testifying

Groveling to keep your job when you know you're doing critical work is such a slap in the face.

This right here is why I always half-assed when my company asked me to participate in interviewing devs. Given the comapanie's track record of laying off quality devs for cheaper options, they were all potential replacements for ME. Th

For the half of working Americans who earn < $35k/yr, gambling and lotteries and such appear to be the only way to have a shot at a dignified retirement. Like so many problems, I think it can mostly be explained by stagnant wages an

Just running thru some software in my head and there's a ton of stuff I'd still use the MVP version of. If Reddit was developmentally arrested in 2010 I'd still be wasting the same number of hours there everyday. Talk about a

A guy literally self immolated on the steps of the Supreme Court in the name of climate change and it was barely covered. Anyone who is getting riled up over these glue stunts has lost the plot. Don't look up!

How frustrating. I wonder how common it is for devs to dump significant effort into an iOS app / passion project only to be told "No" by the App Store review process. Is there any way around this? The prospect of building a f

Lex Fridman misrepresents his role at MIT to make himself sound more accomplished than he really is, and the way he went about putting out his self driving car research directly to the press instead of going through peer review is shady. Th

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you'

The world kind of blows now, I don't fault him for not wanting to join society. The traditional route of going to college and getting a big boy job is not the panacea it was for your generation.
