Parenting has gotten extremely neurotic in the last 20 years. I can’t help but roll my eyes at most of the advice that’s considered essential these days. Even the daycare wanted to go through their educational curriculum for 2 years olds an

I pursued video games as a professional programmer and all it did was kill my enjoyment of games in general. I couldn’t really get my creativity out either because you’re a cog in a 10-100+ person team and often you work on projects you pro

I’m guessing they can’t service it by adding more fuel? That would’ve been a neat expansion to be able to expand its life

Yeah it sounds kind of cool. I used to work min wage jobs while in school . Driving a car to pick up some food for $100+/h sounds like a nice break from programming

It’s pretty easy to tell. One mid level dev on my team will work on a trivial change to a PR for a full day when it would take me literally 15-30 minutes. Trivial stuff like changing a few names and adding a basic test case. It’s kind of an

I can only control small parts of the tech side of a company. It’s silly to worry about things outside of your control so I definitely don’t “buy into the company vision”. I just deliver good software and hope everyone else knows what they’

This is kind of an absurd counter. Not everyone can just choose to become a high level engineer at the handful of the most selective companies in the world.

B2B has its own set of challenges too. Making a sale can be a lot more complicated and take easily a year.

I’ve found what makes me happy. The issue is that it is not something I can get out of work or a business. As a smaller example. I know we were all lied to that you just need to find what you love and then do that as a job. For me it just k

Having kids can be a way out of from a too-comfortable hedonistic life. I also realized I had just frittered away precious time doing nothing of much value for the last 10 years. For data points, while I’m tired as fuck all year I’ve never

100%. Having kids is by far the most life constraining thing you can do. Don’t do it unless you want to be a parent! I have two kids and my life is unrecognizable from what it was before. I enjoy my new life but it is 85% dad, 15% old me. I

That’s what the news business would like you to think. How much action are you taking from the 100+ bad news stories bombarding you every day?

The first step is to admit you have a problem. I’ve been through many addictions and nothing will happen until you look at yourself and the negative effects it’s having on your life and mental state and say “enough”.

Phones are also not expensive unless you want them to be. You can get a great phone for any use for about $100 used. Streaming, playing Fortnite, productivity tasks. Any 5 year old phone can handle all that. It’s very cost efficient to get

I mean it’s just not something most people find appealing. Shifting gears. I’d rather have the car handle that. What is the pro of manual transmission? I used to have those cars in the EU and thought it was just an annoying extra thing I ha

That’s what I did with my new car just a few weeks ago (Ford). Built and ordered online. People like shopping in person so it makes sense to have that “mall” like experience. And having the car available to test drive on the spot must make
