I like that this guy's ethos is something along the lines of "better dressed homeless person." It won't last, though. Anyone of any means falls into the materialism trap. If you ever want to build anything, create art

I don't know that it's that much easier today. I ran into lots of odd issues with Next.js and authentication and there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of useful info out there about it. Github does help, but you have to wait f

That's interesting. When SO came out, I was a big contributor, all in on getting the karma points and whatnots. Eventually, I realized I was being bullied by a bunch of Europeans who had never actually worked a real job in their enti

That's a mischaracterization of what took place. The alternate slates of electors were exactly what is prescribed legally and had to exist in case the courts ruled in his favor. If the alternate electors didn't exist, and the ca

It's not xenophobia anymore--when major percentages of US grads, of all ethnicities, can't find jobs, there is a fundamentally larger issue at stake here.

Thomson Reuters has a beautiful campus somewhere in India while they closed down the main office in the US and sold the land. The once-thriving tech campus in the US is no more.

My former employer, a consulting company, just bought out a small dev consulting firm in...wait for it...Guatemala! Yes, Guatemala. Because as you all well know, Guatemala has such a long and cherished history of providing skilled softwar

Not sure why you're getting the hate. What you said is fairly accurate--there was a time period in which a lot of poorly skilled people were getting hired and that caused a lot of disruption inside of companies because you ended up ge

That's actually good news in a way because boot camps were so surface level and we didn't get a lot of actually good developers out of those programs, just lots of arguments by people defending ideas that weren't well-founded

I was initially impressed with Lombok and then ran into all the downsides of it and it was institutionally abandoned at one particular firm I was with (100s of devs).

Hilarious! My son is taking Honors English in the 10th grade and I am constantly finding those kinds of mistakes in his writing assignments because he gets distracted by his phone a lot. He also adds a lot of extra sentences that say noth

Another whiff of 2001. I wonder if they will remove all the copper wiring and toilet paper from the office before they vanish?

Did you make any money off any of that or was it all just labors of love type of stuff? I'm enjoying woodworking...

Is gpu good for that? It seems like it is a very niche capability that can't easily be re-purposed the way regular cpu compute could be. I did a lot of projects with Kafka (big data) in cloud environments and companies had big, pie in

I'm 52. I experienced the dot-com bubble very up close. I was in the Raleigh-Durham area for most of it. There were hundreds of startups all over the area. Companies like Nortel were booming. IBM was booming. By 2003 it was all g

The financially illiterate don't understand that "going short" is not the simple reverse of "going long" and that there are more difficulties involved with borrowing stocks to short or in buying puts. Well, puts ar

My father-in-law who died of pancreatic cancer in 2016 had excellent oral health. In fact, he never had a single cavity in his entire 76 years of life.

I don't think a meta analysis is worth anything at all, to be totally honest with you. I also don't think those gene therapy shots were at all effective, given how many people contracted covid after receiving the full course of s

They burned it beyond down to the ground and below. And many of you on here willfully continue to trust them and argue vehemently against people who try to tell you the actual truth of the matter. RFK Jr. is a flawed human being, but he&#

I didn't want to be the one to have to say it, but neither masks nor social distancing had any scientific backing at all. It was all made up, completely made up. The saddest thing I see all the time is the poor souls STILL wearing ma

It's not xenophobia when there are real life issues caused by too much immigration. My kids' school district went from a top performer to now middle of the pack due to so much ESL demand that it basically overrode the budget, lea

In 1996 I was at a top US university getting a master's and was the only white dude in most of the classes. There was a probability class that could have been taught in Mandarin if it hadn't been for me.

I initially loved remote work and was doing 2/5ths of my week remove before 2020. Once I became fully remote for years, the horror sunk in--it's career suicide.

the phrase "shutting the barn door after all the horses have run off" comes immediately to mind. It's way too late to save tech in the USA, imho. It's too late for my nephew, who couldn't get a job after graduatin
