I’ve not had mentorship or real guidance offered in my career. I would say I’ve made connections, but my experience was very much just “you’re in charge of this team now because someone left. Why are you sucking at being a lead? Geez, we ev

I’ve seen emojis completely banned on some codes of conduct because of potential offence. The OK hand symbol, the basic smiley face, or using the white skin tone on Slack could all be seen as hostile by some groups of people. Yeah it’s a bi

Sure, but any candidate who completely lost their mind when the interviewer pointed out their mistake wouldn’t get the job!

Are your best engineers the ones who have the most facts and algorithms memorised?

Agreed, something is odd about this. A few people have sent me code that ChatGPT has written for them. They don’t have the capability to determine if the code is good so they ask me. If the result is even something that will compile or addr

How many adults would eat happily if you took their phones and TV away? I reckon most of them would get just as perturbed and restless as the kids. I think it’s fairly normal really and we only find it odd because it’s an ipad now… I always

They say that “public” means what “private” used to mean, “added to profile” means what “public” used to mean, and “private” now means that people can’t see the playlist at all even if they have a link to it. But it’s completely unclear whi

I think the most amazing mistake Spotify made was that recently all private playlists suddenly became public, because they changed the meaning of private and public to introduce some weird third level of privacy. I now have no idea what the

Same happens to me with the mute button. It also seems hard on newer phones to find a position where the speaker is clear - shift it by a millimetre and now you can’t hear anything. The phone is so big that holding it completely still for a

Yes, we could flip this around and say that men are more likely to bash their head against a wall. Women say “hmm, clearly I’m not getting anywhere with this, I’ll go try something else.” Which is better? Both strategies probably work out f

And in any loud, crowded room (say at a conference, or a pub/bar after work), women and quieter men will struggle to be heard at all. Men with loud deep voices will dominate the conversation automatically. This probably has more impact

Please use your powers to support and amplify others if you can. I have the opposite experience where I’ve dropped out of multiple lead roles because getting anyone to listen to me or acknowledge my decisions required a huge battle every si

I’m hoping we get some kind of hilariously obvious astroturfed Twitter campaign telling people that opting in to ads is woke left-wing praxis to help content creators. At least I can get some entertainment value out of that.

Launching broken isn’t an unexpected thing for this type of game. Everyone is used to falling-apart-at-the-seams Bethesda games, constant patches, even full-on crashes are now apparently acceptable on a console. I saw some people saying “I

Give them a dish of water and you might see them wash their hands after eating too! They’re very human sometimes.

Makes me feel better in a way. By age 60 it won’t matter much whether I had kids or not. Time spent with them per day equals, like, one TV episode. So I’m happy to see that my partner and my self will continue to be more important by that m

Also you might want to be careful with this; my experience is that once you have any kind of mental record on your file, your GP will try to say every physical problem is all in your head. If there’s no compelling reason to get the diagnosi

True - though I’m guessing there are a lot more vocal ethicists who will tone it down for money, than there are large AI corps who are actually willing to be honest about AI ethics! Anyway, sounds like it was a bad fit all round for both pa

If a megafarm hires you to write papers for the Ethical Milk Production team, any modicum of social awareness will tell you that they don’t actually want you to write a paper about the ethics of animal products.

But there’s also not many gifts I would want that only cost $20. Books, but that’s about it. A nice version of any material item seems to cost at least £30 ($40). What kind of gifts did people get?

The bouncing mouse balls, flash animations, pixel dollz, and spinning flame skulls of the 2000s were mostly copied off other sites. So sure, that’s self-expression, but only in the same sense that decorating your bedroom with posters is sel

The point (at least for me) is that it will never lift off. Only a few people will ever use it. Good. Also, as I think they point out in an FAQ, you know that when you go to a Gemini site it will behave in a certain way. When you go to an h

That’s a feature, not a problem. The whole point is that every new post gets the same airtime. Of course actual spam/offtopic posting should get moderated away (yes, I know HN seemingly hates moderation and would prefer some algorithm

SA. I’ve been using it for, god, I dunno, 15 years? But I don’t think many HN posters will fit in.

I still post on a forum and it’s the only place on the internet I feel has any sort of community. Reddit and Facebook groups are just newbies/morons posting the same newbie/moron questions over and over again; or instagram-lite (

Outside the big US tech jobs, software is already a menial job. Currently for quite a lot of money, but not even in the same order of magnitude as Silicon Valley pay.

And places that do have driveways have often created them by paving over an existing garden, which is two steps back for the environment. In my lifetime I’ve seen proper front gardens all but disappear in my area.

Err, what else would you ‘deserve’? A salary and job is indeed what employees get... (I don’t run a company btw)
