I switched from C++ because the type of work is typically boring. Its either system level stuff, or HFT, usually some market data system or similar. Not to mention its likely a big old system with legacy code base. Seeing the salaries now I

Being a classic CEO its difficult to run just one company, two is too much. Richard Branson is a good example of someone who "ran" multiple companies but in reality was more of a PR genius who got lots of free advertising for his

You mentioned GP, which implies you're in UK or Australia etc. There are likely lots of protections for employees, you can ask for stress leave - talk to the doctor about it. My friend was 6 months off full pay. The other advice is mak

Its also a big problem for me because I want a super cheap phone plan, I dont need a good or fast service, I dont really need a phone number, but I need reliable and secure account for stuff like this. Can't wait for SMS 2FA to disappe

I'd like to agree but the article literally says employee output fell.

I think there is a big difference with electronic media in that you can get propaganda from the other side. Eg in WW2 in Western Europe you wouldn't even hear Nazi propaganda except perhaps the occasional leaflet or maybe some radio if

Lots of people are productive WFH, but loads are taking it easy. Often in my team Fridays people barely dial in, maybe are connected a few hours max. Thursday afternoons now are dead as people get ready for the weekend... Job market is stil

I was laid off from another company under a warn notice in NY and I went home the first day and kept getting paid with full benefits for 3 months. I then got a redundancy payment. It was under the condition I couldn't work for another

If you wanted to use a new piece of software or library you had to buy at a store or order it by mail. So you ended up writing a lot of stuff like your own collections. No internet or even cell phones, I didn't have a computer at home

Wiring for me has been a waste of time. I spent a good amount of time wiring the house with cat 6 cabling. I had our TV on a hard wired network which felt great, no drop outs, no wifi noise. I then bought a roku box and left on wifi for a w

Agreed we need hydroelectric pumped storage - what is a typical efficiency number for that? I'd think its super inefficient, but not sure what the numbers should be.

I gave up. Old PCs used to die and I could just take the disk and put into a new box and copy what I could. I encrypted a disk and ended up losing everything on there (except photos which were backed up). I realized I really dont have anyht

Who would want to be a real worker now? Teachers, Nurses, construction workers, factory workers have to be at work every day. Either their wages need rising or WFH office workers need a big pay cut.

> When there is no winning move That is the interesting thing, yes all assets are falling in value, but wages are rising. Its bringing back equality after years where hoarding assets was a great move.

You mean people relaxing WFH in a unbelievably great job market dont like being on call 24/7 and supporting random stuff they didn't build. Sounds like we need a recession.

I think it makes a difference where you live too. I live in a cramped apartment with noisy family and kids, the office gives me much more space and quiet. Other people have big suburban homes with a big dedicated office which is far superio

Do you really think most of the US public really care about details? Prices are going up, things are expensive, people click outrage headlines.

I dont write high volume applications so it isn't a huge problem for me. I do think threading is easy though and miss it.

As a C++/C#/Java developer I just couldn't deal with Javascript. Since discovering TS its fast becoming my favorite language. I think I might even use in the back end going forward.

Yeah its fascinating that quick payments probably is more of a problem than a benefit.

I was a tape boy, I couldn't believe how great CD music sounded in comparison. When I saw CD players in cars it blew my mind, the future had arrived.
