What kind of companies did you apply to? I'll share my personal experience, in case it helps. I only apply to small startups (less than 50 employees, but I usually get hired in places with <10 people). These have much more straightf

From my personal experience, I disagree completely with the advice that "non-youngsters" switching careers to software development should aim for "non-fashionable" tech. I started to learn software development at 37 year

A more informative title could be ”I finally got how to win on Twitter” , because that’s what this person wanted. They wanted to “win”. That’s not what I want. I “got” Twitter from my first time using it. I wanted to follow a mix of divers

Turning on my cynicism switch on a bit. The author is a very good content marketer. A hot topic in our corner of the world — which is author’s target audience — is Elon Musk buying Twitter. Musk tweeted that the percentage of bots is the ma

I thought this was fiction until I read HN comments. Not sure I like this style for this sort of story.

For me what’s wrong is that ”buildingless students” in rich universities is not a social problem at all, so funding those has no positive impact in the society.

Agree with what? OP is no making any point, just a joke. And if I am to take the joke more serious, it would mean that there is no defense whatsoever for using SPA. It just indefensible. Which is a different argument of ”SPA for everything

I personally preferred the tweet because I can’t read the article. Also, the tweets are personal statements (which seemed relevant to me), not just a link to the article (only mentioned in the last tweet of the thread).

I think it is very very very unlikely that he would earn more money switching jobs as a salesman in a small town in Brazil during the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. Almost no market is like software development in the 2010s and 2020

I am glad Ron thinks like that. I didn’t know there was this rage against not being pixel art (but I should have suspected). I am glad it isn’t. I backed and loved Thimbleweed Park (even the ending), but that project was all around nostalgi

_”basic professionalism”_ means different things for different people. For me it means show up on time. If it is an online interview, one or two minutes late is ok because sometimes Zoom/Google Meet/etc behave weirdly. As for dres

I agree with you, but I appreciate that people on HN talk like this because then I am presented to this world of privileges. It shows to me that this world exists and I might benefit from it. That happened to me. Instead of anchoring myself

How should I take it? I failed to think about any interpretation other than being clickbait (by looking contrarian and exaggerated, withou the text corroborating this take). What is your interpretation of the title?

I took offense to your comment. I found the title a complete clickbait. I couldn’t find any humor in it that would make me think otherwise. The content of the text is completely unrelated to any part of the title. And I don’t think I am ped

Interesting book review. Bizarre title choice. Not only clickbaity, but doesn’t capture any point present in any part of the review. It doesn’t go into who don’t admit, or why, why it’s the best novel and according to whom (the author only

I would think that “feeling disgust” and ”being open minded” are mutually exclusive. So my impression from your post is that you are not being honest (to us or to yourself) about being open minded.

Poison pill can be used for price negotiation, not just blocking an offer. Prevent hostile takeover and force the buyer into the negotiation table. They are now in the negotiation table. The rumor is that the offer to be accepted is the sam

Not bitter at all, not sure where you got that impression from my post. If I have something that does not present me in my best light, why should I volunteer to show it in a hiring process? I am just being practical. I do think all hiring p

The phrasing confused me. It is being performed for almost 21 years (since 2001) and it will be continuously performed for the next 618 years (hopefully). Initially I thought it was being performed since year 1383 (639 years ago).

In the end of part two there is this: > ”Basically, this question is to software engineers as FizzBuzz is to programmers.” What’s the implied difference between software engineer and programmer here? I don’t get it.

The argument is not that is worth more, it is that it can be worth more in the future than Musk offer. No one can predict the future, but it is a legitimate reason to believe it can be worth more than $54 in the future and pointing that it

In my mind I put those reminders in the group of “things to do”. Just like I need to do whatever task of the day, I need to do that accounting tasks if the happens to be the first week of the month. So I like them to be in the same place. B
