The more senior I've gotten, the more I've removed from my resume. I used to stuff it with everything I had learned over the years. But my real profession is just "software engineer." You give me a language and a prob

I was part of a union and was even on the union board that did the bargaining. Bargaining was incredibly stressful and a really terrible experience. Each time it made me want to quit my job. You learn just how little the company actually

I have a required MBPro for work. I actually like the keyboard, although mine isn't broken yet. I don't like the change to the arrow keys though, I keep fumbling with them. The touchbar is dumb and should just go. No physical e

There used to be a playable Tetris in the favicon, which I found from HN[1], but it looks like the website[2] is dead now :( [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3873623 [2] http://favris.info/

We made a rule not to post our children's faces on social media. I just had to ask myself how I'd feel if I grew up and found a bunch of stuff on the internet about me I couldn't get rid of.

When I was in OK the 6% seemed like a lot, but it was workable. Now in CA, after selling my first home, this 6% is simply absurd. After selling and buying a new house, even with considerable equity, if I were to sell my house again I would

Have you ever worked at one of these "cushy" jobs? I've worked at a few. The sweet benefits wear off quick. There are usually one or two you really love, and you can easily find them in other companies.
