Because most people are OK with getting a generous paycheck every two weeks for work they don't find too stressful. They can have fun outside of the 9-5.

Anecdotal, but we had a decent amount of layoffs over the summer and every single engineer laid off (seriously, every) has a job by now.

Finding your sense of purpose in your work is bad, IMO, unless you own the company or have a similar position. I don't want my self-worth to be tied to an employer or market that can get rid of me any time. It's just a job. At bes

Every time a "JavaScript is bad!" thread is feature it leads to nothing but the same old tired arguments too, so I don't see why that's a barometer for quality.

People like to post their opinions to the world. It feels good, and feels like you are being "heard". But for most it stops there. Not many care to debate online because a) it takes time and energy vs posting something you've

In the US, I can get paid very well to do mediocre work. Despite our buggy software, we keep raising more money and our valuation increases. PMs and managers get paid more if they delivery new features. At some point the company will get ac

AC has a solid, hardcore userbase. That it sold 35m units and most of those quit by summer 2020 is normal for any game. No game lasts forever unless you really like it. TikTok is a behemoth and just keeps growing. A lot of people still play

The creator probably didn't break his back making it, already has a job, and probably has reddit equity that will make him money when they IPO. I would've for sure taken the first good offer for my project in that case.

I mean, that's about the price any hobby costs you over a year. "Cheapest" way is to develop it yourself, but of course, that's a different set of skills and equipment you may not be into. There's online labs but I

I ended up switching to MusicBee ( https://www.getmusicbee.com/ ), before switching to macOS. It's not as snappy but I liked the default UI and had all the batteries I needed. Also back then they had this concept of an &

If you have to use Instagram and/or Twitter, a very liberal use of the mute setting.

Good for them, but not sure why they need so much money for a 100% paid product.

The creator has a good resume of tech work including two years at reddit where he created two viral campaigns and probably received stock for their upcoming IPO. Seems he's pretty comfortable and just wanted to do this for fun.

Cal Newport is a good writer and worth listening to, but most of his advice applies only to himself. I work 9-5 for a company that uses Slack, email, alerts, etc., like most of HN. I'm not a tenured professor with a lot of clout that c

I don't get he drama about 1Password. What's wrong with it? I'm a little wary of 8 (Electron) but eh, I doubt it'll be bad. It costs me like $4-5/mo which is an mount I don't even bother keeping track of or bud

Startups use whatever is easier to hire for to get stuff out the door ASAP, unless the founders have a specific technical taste. That's why now it's JS and 10-15~ years ago it was Rails.

Classic tech guy response. Teachers teach multiple kids, hundreds a week of not a day, and can inspire many to go on to do great things (money-wise or not). Why are we tech people so arrogant about our career? We already make good money, no

Their craft isn't important. They can just move up the income ladder by getting a new job every ~3 years without really improving.

The issues you say reddit has are issues all forums have. 4chan, SA, reddit, even HN has its issues sometimes. Human nature. IMO the correct answer is to reduce posting and browsing forums. Unless you have a specific question, it is largely

You can't manifest more time. You have to drop something to make time for reading. I'm nowhere near your situation — single 20 something with no responsibilities beyond a job. But even I had to give up TV show watching or YouTube

As a renter you have almost no leverage over this. Nothing you can do except get the hard key like that tenant.

The loneliness crisis is tough because it can make someone feel like there's something wrong with just them. Walking the streets on a weekend night, all you see is groups of friends at sold out restaurants, people on dates, events, etc
