With Cryptonomicon I had to keep stopping to look up every other word in a thesaurus. It made me feel incredibly stupid and just made the experience a slog.

Would this question ever have worked the other way?

Well, we let kids believe they’re just not good at math, and tell them that’s ok I’m sure you’re good at other things, and they believe it, and wish we’d stop doing that.

A Peloton is just an old-fashioned stationary bike with a SaaS. You can still buy plain old stationary bikes (aka "Spinning Bikes"), no need to rig up a real bike.

In the winter I have a driveway and 300 feet of sidewalk I have to clear, sometimes twice a day. Assuming any products on the market can even handle the job, I wouldn't want to have to manage the charging situation for my use case. Pou

I initially didn't take the "drain the fuel" advice when I got my snowblower, because I never did it for my lawnmower and it was fine year after year. And in its second season, it utterly failed to start. My friend gave me a

They have the craziest most difficult interview process I've ever seen, like beyond quant level. But I don't know why. My kids play it and it feels like the jankiest most busted-ass 3D engine that ever existed. I'm sure all t

I can't listen to that much alliteration. I had to stop pretty early on.

I've experienced the same thing in recent years. Referrals are just another way to put a resume into the ATS. I have no opportunity to actually expend any social or political capital to bring that person in. I get excluded from the hir

Every takehome I've ever "passed" has just been an invitation to 3 rounds of Leetcode and a systems design interview, followed by a rejection. And being on the other side of the interview, I know many times the takehomes don&

Does it at least do anything well? An iPod replacement would be fun, but the best thing about an iPod was the wired headphones. This would only work with my AirPods, which almost never work without fiddling with something either in the UI o

Sounds to me like Loper Bright Enterprises was the little guy getting absolutely reamed by the government after NOAA out of nowhere decided to start charging them $700 per day per fishing vessel. Chevron Deference would have continued but t

It adds about 2 minutes to our gitlab pipelines but the major issue with it is when organizations decide failures should prevent merging code to master or even deploying to a QA environment. That's the real time sink - figuring out how

We frequently have the issue of, upon refactoring code in such a way that involves moving it and its tests to a new file, Sonar will take away our previous "credit" for code coverage percentage, dropping our project below the thre

I still don’t really know what DevOps is. I have noticed, however, that over the last 20 years more and more power and flexibility has been taken away from me. I used to have passwords for everything and could deploy things and get things d

I've never seen a DoorDasher show up with a proper insulated bag. The pizzas are cold. They've been on who knows what route delivering orders from who knows how many restaurants. They slide around, aren't kept level. I had an

You know, I do go to restaurants, and DoorDash is making restaurants worse. They're becoming DoorDash focused and the dining room experience suffers. Even picking up your own food is becoming destroyed. Orders get made with no regard t

It's completely ruined pizza delivery, which used to actually be a pleasant and affordable experience.

I haven't bought a new car in 8 years. Do they still do that thing with the pen and paper where they write down a bunch of numbers while crossing other numbers out randomly for like 10 minutes?

It was missing the bouncing springs on the ladders stage though. If I knew what I was doing, I would try to add them back in.
