I used to wonder why there's always a constant flood of new new technologies, frameworks, products, etc. instead of improvements over existing solutions. Now I believe I know why; it's about growth for the business, at all levels.

No because I would rather spend a few minutes longer in email rather than experiment with the solution, especially for a subscription based service. It might be useful for someone else but I imagine they've already found some other met

Very similar story here but I'm not resentful of the late diagnosis. Getting through most of my 20s without meds gave me more confidence in my own abilities. If I had them earlier? Maybe my life would have been easier but maybe not. Ev

Why is this downvoted? I'm guessing it's "that's not my experience so it must be wrong."

Resisting the urge to mindlessly browse reddit has done wonders for my productivity and peace of mind. It's like removing a giant time sink that was not adding any value to my life.

Usually when you try to combine education with gaming, the result is something that's not very educational and not very fun.

This is why I could never get interested in any Apple products. They can keep their walled garden to themselves.

Unless we've specifically defined intelligence in a way that reflects ourselves. The useful things that we want to get out of an AI system, i.e generalized learning of abstract concepts, are most clearly demonstrated by the human brain

For ~70 years, the brightest minds on earth have been trying and failing to solve AI. Many of them refusing to consider that something useful can be learned from the human brain; the gold standard of what it means to be intelligent. Yet tod

I think the reason for this is that there's more to gain from inventing your own system that gets popular than there is from contributing to an already existing one.

A better hiring process which is still scalable is possible. For example, some simple leetcode question that will filter out a fair number of people. After that it should just be based on first come first serve. Why? Becauae as you keep inc

In the CS field, the low hanging fruit is often worth more than the harder stuff. It's all about show and very little about substance. Building a flashy web app and studying for interviews will get you further than anything you learn i

When there are hundreds of applicants for 1 role of which the top 10 are all equally qualified, no interview process will seem fair. So how do we break the tie? Whiteboard? No whiteboard? Pair programming? If we accept that after a certain

I used to be this stupid too but then I learned that it's better to just play their game, win and then move on, no point in fighting it, just think of it as another part of the job.

I'm currently in the job hunt and also starting to question why I got a degree. I definitely learned some useful stuff but no one cares. Instead of 4 years on a degree I could have spent 1 year learning on my own. I wouldn't be as

Everything about the internet is highly decentralized. There's no single point of failure, no truly critical infrastructure. At best, such an attack would be nothing more than an annoying inconvenience.

The disintegration of the nuclear family due to sociological and technological forces. For a preview, look at the black community where over 7/10 kids are born to single moms (for comparison, this number was below 3/10 in 1965).

Drugs. Serious. See if you have any level of ADHD and if so, get medication for it. I somehow managed to get through most of my 20s without medication. With the meds, my productivity is on an entirely different level. I lived through most o
