I solved it by not being a software developer at work, and doing projects that interest me at home.

This isn't even internal stuff, all paid commercial applications. Oracle is notorious for it, but most recently dealing with SysAid(Helpdesk software).

That's not going to work outside of Mac or PC. Linux is a browser plugin.

Why is it that every Java application I've encountered in my 20 years of corporate IT, has been a performance pig? Is it just a case of bad developers, making shit code? Is it difficult to make Java perform well, but when it does, it s

Yes, immediately, we use LastPass in the corporate world, and it's horrific to deal with. Slow, bloated, mess of an interface. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21172569 is a good discussion on it.

and the reason I went to their cloud solution, is so that I can sync passwords between my iPhone, Mac, PC, and Linux machines. It's $35.88 for an entire year of something that I use constantly, every day, and it works perfectly.

Expecting the entire world to turn vegetarian, seems unrealistic, unless there is some major collapse of the entire ecosystem. The ideal solution is that meat goes back to being a luxury or treat, instead of consuming it daily multiple time

What you described is not a normal experience. Sure problems crop up, but it also can and definitely does happen with a prebuilt machine. If you're already working on existing machine, wait time doesn't exactly factor into any of

Start to finish build time(including OS install) is maybe two hours if you're a complete newbie. Everything is color coded and keyed to fit into only one spot.

Sounds like you hit the jackpot. Generally high compensation demands high hours. You the man!

You sound like a terrible employer, and I would immediately be looking for employment elsewhere. MANY people work multiple jobs in this world. If they are doing the work assigned to you during the hours agreed upon, what say do you have oth

Just start doing it, in your free time. You'll be burning the candle at both ends for a while as you build up clients, but you're young, you've got the energy and the time.

Astute observation. I thought it was worth mentioning in the context of what I was talking about.

I've had the luxury of a 36.5 hour work week, with no on call for about 18 years. It exists, but don't expect $300,000 salaries with it. You want to be rich, or do you want to live a rich life?

selected_related is the solution, not the problem. Without it, Django would make a database query literally every single loop iteration. My point is that without paying attention, Django makes it very easy to query things, sub-optimally.

Yes of course, but let's be realistic, would the people doing this type of clueless work, bother to seed a database? It's a self fulfilling prophecy of naivety. It's like all of the investing and saving advice on Yahoo Financ

PRECISELY my point. Everything is easy to setup, and works amazing, when nothing is actually in the database.

When you have millions or billions of rows, SQL calls absolutely become a huge bottleneck. I deal with this all the time from shortsighted developers at the office in other ORM environments. Most recent being a SELECT...NOT IN('a'

With the prevalence of password managers, you really shouldn't ever have this problem.

Pretty easy to see how, just look at the Python equivalent in Django. You're so far abstracted away from what is actually going on that it's no wonder no one understands it. There is a lot of gotchas, that most probably never inve

Smartphones win on convenience. Standalone wins on focal lengths, and low light performance from large sensors that smartphones will NEVER be able to overcome. If you don't need those features, then you're not the target audience,

They never said it was a bad idea, the concerns were that at the time it took too much processing power to scale.
