Tech people always say this but forget that being a plumber means being on their knees wading thru poop water and likely being unable to work when you reach a certain, fairly young age. I get it, trades are important, but let's not gla

Your current pay rate isn't working — who cares what other jobs pay in comparison? Pay $10-15 more an hour and you will see more applicants.

It's crazy to think but people do drink the kool-aid, despite history.

I wasted a decade+ on my life arguing online all day. I see what coldpie says. It is legitimately a pointless waste of time. Obviously I am still on HN so I still do it, but I definitely feel it's futile and it's a guilty pleasure

Stacked teams go home early all the time in WCs. France getting to the final again is an exception. France went home early to Switzerland on penalties last year at the Euros (Mbappe missed a penalty!). That could happen again in 2026.

Getting to the final and winning the WC is very difficult, and will be even more so with 48 teams. France could've gone home earlier at many points, same as Argentina. Even getting to PKs was partly luck. That handball penalty could&#x

Our field rewards mediocrity though, so it's fine. A mediocre programmer at an enterprise company can make a comfortable middle class salary.

I pretty much re-read at least two or three books a year. I do sell books if I don't like them or feel neutral about them, but nowhere near ruthless. I still have a decently-sized collection.

School, at least in the US, gives you plenty of quick rewards. In my high school, we got report cards every other week. On top of that, you get homework and quiz results back quickly as well. While the real reward is admission to a good col

Different taste I guess. I work in Python and always go out of my way to write "if thing is True" or "if thing is False" nowadays to make conditions clear and uniform.

In my experience, nowadays almost everything comes within 3-5 days, at least to NYC. Only exception is budget services like Media Mail.

It would be nice if we Latinos actually showed up to things on time though.

Take a shot every time a HN pedant types "Why don't you just X".

Someone that was a "rockstar" 10 years ago is probably in a high level IC or managerial role now.

HN is put together with lisp-flavored duct tape. It is not reddit or a Discourse forum with robust admin tools. I had to email dang to change my username (quick response btw!).

I'm happy with VS Code for Python. It does everything I need and it's fast enough — never had any major bugs with it. I keep my setup simple though.

The people teaching in CS departments aren't interested in nor are knowledgeable in practical programming. They'd need to hire people with experience in software engineering, but those people are busy making $200k a year. My colle

Lol. If the author had really tried to fix the internal tooling by himself in such a top-don huge corp like Amazon, he would've gotten himself laid off much quicker.

Of all the hyped React stuff I feel like RN really didn't pan out. I always had a gut feeling it wasn't worth it.

I only turn my camera on when we have a new team member to welcome or a very important meeting (perf reviews). Otherwise, I am faceless. Hasn't affected my career at all.

West Coast imbalance is due to industries (tech, military, planes etc.). India probably because families didn't want daughters.

Discord is already considered a groomer hotspot, at least in joking. You can join servers based on interests alone and find yourself in a server with very young people.

Because it's the only major platform with a robust API. In 2022 I don't think any other major service has a public API that lets you perform as many actions as the official website or app. > Adjacently, why don't they allo

Even after Zodiac Age (which I liked fine, btw), the majority people still feel that way about XII's combat. In 2006, XII was a very hyped game (the last single player mainline FF was in 2001). In 2017, the people that hated XII didn&#

Thing is no one's going to read a blog post that he would've linked to. As bad as they are, Twitter threads guarantee a way larger audience.

Reddit is home to hundreds if not more of porn subreddits, including some that the majority of people would consider vile/controversial (rape, race play, etc.). While Reddit sometimes goes on a subreddit-banning spree, they often don&#
