A team of 3 star engineers can take on the world. It's a killer setup.

Is quiet quitting a US thing, or is this happening elsewhere? US is unique in this sense because when we lose our job, we lose our health insurance, risking financial ruin. This forces us to go above and beyond so to not end up in that bott

All of my adult friends are from previous jobs. And I mean - friends. We have Slack channels and grab drinks and lunches once in a while to catch up. We visit each other's big life events. You can't just bond with someone over wor

To make it worse, the customer's "vision" is almost always wrong. It takes great skill to extract from them what they really want - otherwise you allow the customer to be a tech product manager, which is a no-no.

My advice - save walk-away money when you are young. It's incredibly satisfying to slam the door and walk away from an abusive work environment full of incompetents. We take a lot of abuse in our 20s because we are still learning what

Right - you want to be professional, you want to do the best that you can do, but you cannot care about your employer more than the employer cares about themselves. Sort of a mercenary attitude - which you always are . This is really the p

I am convinced at this point that the brass at Google doesn't even know about Keep. It'd be dead a long time ago.

Yes. "This person said the group’s leaders didn’t explicitly state what would happen to the cloud division if it didn’t reach a top two position by 2023. A commonly held view inside the group was that Google wouldn’t continue investing

Blue Checkmark before Musk: "This is not some rando" Blue Checkmark during Musk: "Ah, another rando culture warrior that paid $8" What's immensely enjoyable is seeing Free Speech Absolutists flood to the new Blue Ch

Notes is taking off like wildfire. It's not the same moaning and groaning as it was with Mastodon. I left Mastodon after a few minutes and I am already addicted to Notes, Lord help me.

What's even better than unmoderated speech for the masses? Unmoderated speech for racist nazi bots, of course!

Musk openly crapped all over Twitter tech and publicly humiliated the team - before and after the acquisition. Twitter tech is worth having, but Musk will realize it after he destroys it with a million quick hacks and bandaids.

While it would have helped jumpstart Notes, I disagree. A lot of content creators have their feet in both puddles, waiting it out - and with this and the non-stop Musk antics and tantrums, we are looking at an actual stampede away from that

I can see why Elon is hysterical. An actual long-form publisher, with content creators, with proper "blue checks" and a customer base paying for more than vanity badges. I spent a few minutes on it, and yeah, it IS a Twitter clone

If you are going to make a massive stink about how absolutely horrible a company was before you, better not f*k up then, yeah?

Agile has nothing to do with it. That just sounds like lack of general vision and direction. Or complete misunderstanding of Agile. "We have only two weeks, so we can't undertake anything big that spans multiple sprints!"

We used to write software for pretty high-traffic systems using what is now underpowered CPUs, less RAM, and antiquated databases. It should be easier now, NOT harder. Most of development I see today is resume-driven and not based in any pr

How many environments are really out there where developers blissfully work in their microservices silo? There are a lot of happy promises and sunny-day theories, but in reality it's an awful mess, and you can't really get anythin

China gets its advanced chips from TSMC and used to get the equipment from other western manufacturers - it does not have latest-generations chip capability. They would be as f*ed as everyone, even more so. The US will have its own TSMC fac

They can simulate all they want. Having to move so many troops across the straight will result in tens of thousands of dead within the first hours. Not even talking about a years-long global economic depression if something happens to TSMC.

It's free speech alright - within "acceptable matrix parameters". I am entertained by how the "libertarians" on HN were shrieking "bloody murder censorship" at day-to-day moderation decisions, and now fall

His actions and words also resemble those of a person dangerously sleep-deprived, but maybe it's just Elon being Elon.

Wrong. They suspended linking to the story for 24 hours - a story that had very shady sourcing and which the New York Post did not even put an author's name on .

Case in point, using "moderation" and government censorship as if they were the same. This is not a good faith argument. We are "up in arms" about the hypocrisy and dishonesty, not the decision itself. It's Musk&#

So, the people who were defending Musk before now finally "see" the difference between moderation and free speech, and even point it out. So, was that "free speech absolutism" even argued in good faith, I wonder, or was

Musk's behavior and what he claims his stance is are different things. And, in fact, we call this kind of diversion "hypocrisy".

I drink Nuun [Sport] electrolytes and that eliminates cramps when I work out. As we get older, our bodies cannot hold as much water, so hydration is key.

The Venn diagram of crypto bros and the "nothing matters" libertarians is almost a solid circle. They despise public servants, norms, rules, and laws. It's for cucks. These people transcended all that. The laws do not matter.
