This really resonated with me. After reading, I thought "This person is likely from the same generation I am". I started programming in 1987. According to their About page, they've been programming since 2018. I wonder how th

Not sure what to make of this. Most looked the same and I couldn't tell if I was really seeing a difference or not. 12/20. (And I am color blind, so not sure if that has a lot to do with it or not.)

Apologies for the assumption. (Edited). She said: "I personally love stoicism. It’s gorgeous. It’s brilliant." Maybe that doesn't make her a stoic, but it still struck me as ironic that she seemed wary of rich people using

As a bit of a stoic myself, I appreciate the appeal to the "some people have real problems" argument. I think a big part of the frustration or unhappiness of some subset of this generation of software engineer who cut their teeth

Man, you nailed it. I finished EE degree in 1992 and was having so much fun by 1994 writing C for a small software company. That led to a job with a FANNG (actually a MAMAA) where I've been ever since. I'm still lucky to be writin
