> Me as "dad" at home with the kids, me as "husband" with my wife after the kids go to bed, and me as "employee" at work are very different roles. I use different language, have different goals, different to

It depends if you're trying to get promoted or not. One of the reasons I never aim for a promotion internally--remote or in person--is the requirement of theater over everything else. It perverts the day to day.

I wanted to express thanks for your post on ramping up on large projects. It's concise, links to further reading, and echoes a lot of the advice I have had to give to junior engineers. You've saved me time from having to write the

It depends what the OC was envisioning as their game. Not every game requires a "large number of other people".

Is this crowd an online crowd or a real one? I can't think of a single leftist who is against identity politics but pro-slurs.

Your snarky comment fails given that height is non-transferable whereas money is? Hair transplant would be a funnier comment. Alas.

Discord does have threading and a pseudo-forum view as well. None of that changes its main societal flaw which is being a walled garden. So much loss of information.

The thing you are missing is that Reddit is not (sufficiently) profitable. :)

Are you as comfortable in an office as at home? When I'm in office I can't wait to get home. When I'm WFH I don't think about time I think about tasks.

It sounds like there is a mix and the most vocal ones are those whose preferred method of working is being threatened. :) I slack off in office for a similar duration that I do at home. They might be different but the "productivity&quo

Perception is all that matters in a lot of these cases.

I agree. I'm not a mobile dev but I am a software dev and I'm continually impressed by how good an app Apollo is. It's one of the apps I use that seem like they should be the standard for quality.

Unless there is another job offering with similar compensation/benefits/etc. I'm not sure most employees will be able to do anything. "Leaders" and bold-faced lies are a duo as old as time. Macroeconomic conditions

marriage when women were property and marriage now that women are being treated as humans (though rights are being taken away) are two different things.

Why would monogamous relationships be better for society from your perspective? Shouldn't you be arguing that marriage is holding our "new family unit" generation back?

It's interesting that you put the people with those "behaviors" or "passions" as the agents who have switched to "identity". In reality, it's the oppressors who "identified" them.

seems that text-based social media are not profitable (enough).

can you explain what we "know" now that changes the question?

If it's any consolation at any sufficiently large company you'll be graded again based on arbitrary metrics b/c your manager (and their managers) have no idea what your actual impact is. The modern incarnation of school is, a

I find the TikTok algorithm (perhaps not the platform) to be superior at giving me content I like/need and from creators that are (seemingly) authentic. I've seen far more diversity on TikTok than YouTube and due to there being no

Which part is not real? The vaccinations? Their effect on spread? Their effect on symptoms?

I read really fast. For tools I already know Phind has been really good. I specify "already know', because sometimes it gets irrelevant/useless information from low quality blogs or stackoverflow. That said, so does Google.

We have always had: - travel restrictions - mandatory vaccinations - suppression of dissent - stigmatizing individuals To assert otherwise is ahistorical IMO. It's unclear to me what device-level and biological surveillance mean. A dec

It's not true everywhere but it's pretty much rewarded everywhere. Software engineering is pretty difficult to evaluate and managers will default to evaluating "soft skills" because they haven't looked at a PR in a

HN doesn't have that much traffic so it's easier than you might think!

The ageism is silly (though not uncommon on HN). Plenty of young people are in the same boat and in the west! It's nothing new. Discerning propaganda has always been extremely difficult.

Companies mandate going to the office and remote work only became acceptable en masse after the pandemic?
