Exactly, it could be so many things. Even if results come back inconclusive, it doesn't mean something's not going on. On that note, I could be totally off and the OP might just be regular old stressed, but there's no way an

I would usually attribute this to burnout, but there might be other factors at work. I was exhausted on and off for three years, had many days off and would eventually get to the point of not being able to complete my work. I thought it m

Agreed, communication overhead starts to suck productivity out and areas start siloing off. I think anywhere between 3-5 is a sweet spot.

Everything in Australia is more expensive than it should be, unfortunately. That's what we get for being the geographical arse end of the world.

Because it's cheaper and more efficient to have them onsite.

I've failed at a lot of things too. I'm not doing exactly what I want to right now in terms of tech, but I'm making up for it in other ways, e.g., playing music. I look back at all the mistakes that have been made though, a

Sounds like it's time to get out then. I don't know how hard that would be as you said you moved cross-country, so you could be anywhere (in the US I'm guessing). Remote work is always handy.

Patches all the way down, it seems. I've had to deal with similar codebases. I try to fix what I can, but it always seems to be a neverending process. Legacy codebases suck, but it doesn't stop newer codebases from sucking just

What's the legacy codebase, if I may ask (unless it identifies the company too much)?

I distinctly remember when McDonalds reduced the size of the buns. I don't remember the exact time (early 00s perhaps?), but I do remember being pissed off. A typical corporate "reduce costs" manoeuvre, but I guess you coul

Yes, there's plenty of evidence for that, I'm not disputing that fact. However, even the most casual search you can find studies testing the effects of cannabinoids in vitro on different cancer types. As I said, the effects are

I can't say I know anyone who's indulged reiki, but I've got a lot of flak from my brother telling me that cannabis cures cancer, when I told him that I was doing chemoradiotherapy for my Stage 3 rectal cancer. Today I'

An objective measure of metrics does not necessarily imply there is a single optimal solution.

On many days I think yes, and I have no problems admitting this (especially during winter).

I relate, and I think I did okay with what I was given, but I think I could've done better. However, the thing that's helped me the most is to learn from the mistake once, and then leave it all behind. It has always been easier

Same. I'm Australian, but to get a job doing something there I'd probably have to be their IT guru (something I'm not particularly keen on, but I'm not a research scientist or somesuch). But I wouldn't mind the is

Not off the top of my head, but I can do some research and send you an e-mail if you like. Side note, used to game design as well (though not much professionally).

Have a degree in Visual Communication, with an Illustration major. I'd already been programming since I was 14 when I started it, and was going into Software Engineering, but at the behest of my best friend, changed at the last minute

Working at the top of a lighthouse for a month would be awesome (assuming good Internet) if you were motivated to get something in particular done. I think if you went there with a generalised notion of getting something done, I don't

I don't know if that link wasn't there last time or if I was just blind. Cheers.

Where did you find that? Last time I looked at their website, I couldn't find anything remotely like that.

It didn't used to be. I'm not sure when they moved to invite only. I'm guessing they needed to compete with Toptal in a different way.

There'd be more than the consumer-facing systems. Whether they require 4000 people to run it all is another question, but without a deeper look into what's running, it would be hard to surmise.

~4000 for Twitter (although I vaguely recall a culling recently, not sure how many they let go).

I agree somewhat, but I don't think that it's going to be Trump specifically disrupting institutions, so much as everyone else round him.

I was leaning more towards a profitable business than a startup in my thinking.
