My productivity has been severely impacted, actually, without even going into the mental health / stress / morale effects. I've seen two rounds of layoffs at my current employer and today I am utterly and completely fucking

Interesting to hear. I've recently pivoted hard towards sandbags and naturally I'm seeing more and more about stone lifting. How does one get into this sport? There are no historic stones near me, in SoCal, and I'm not really

We have 3 kids in daycare right now so you'll really just have to forgive me for also finding it essentially useless. It's less than 1/36th of our annual childcare expenses. It's not like I'm going to turn it down

Have you worked closely with a remote work force from another country? I know a couple of dozen developers in Argentina who trivially rival any American counterpart and they wouldn't move here if we paid them to. Not everyone dreams of

In Orange county, CA, we generated 16.6kWh today, on a 5.6kWh system, and it's been partially sunny with some sporadic rain storms.

Thank you for spelling this out. I've seen the GP opinion multiple times and it never connected for me before.

I love my family and I love programming but I'm only showing up to daily standup because they pay me to.

I see that Avalonia has a XAML previewer in VSCode. That's a big selling point for me so I'll give this a try. Thanks for mentioning it!

> It’s hard to tell when many numbers are used to spin/promote an ideology or attract eyeballs with sensationalist viewpoint. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. It's hard to find data about how your peers are doing. Anecdotal

Had a CEO once open space in Chicago because his kid got into some private high school out there. Nothing surprises me when it comes to their shenanigans.

I started freelancing in '08 alongside my full-time job and by '12 had a sizeable down payment for my first home and a very healthy savings account. I didn't overcharge anyone and I leaned hard into former clients to find new

We have 4.5 year old spontaneous fraternal twins and a 2.5 year old singleton. It's been great but it's so incredibly challenging. I've been primary for the twins since my wife was pregnant with our son. It's been a real

I joined a startup recently (it was > 18 months ago at this point). It seemed promising but it was also strange... I interviewed with the Engineering Director and a manager. Then I had a couple of rounds with ICs. Everything seemed great

On my end, I view finding meaning in modern tech work completely misguided. I work because I have to. I'm nice and fun at work because it makes the time pass gently, not because I like being there. I'm an American and there'

I'm pushing into my mid-40s and it's the same story here. I won't do it. I've pulled 90-hour weeks in my career. Weeks on end. Literally working > 12 hour days nonstop for over 30 days. Because someone else fucked u
