You are not on my team, so your perceptions what is shitty for you do not matter. That’s more the point of my comment: each team should discuss and reach their own ideal dynamic. If you were on my team, from your strong opinions here, the d

Where I work we have something that other software developers might consider ”shitty standups” or a waste of time. We show up one or two minutes late, we often chat about life, topics outside of work for anything between 2 and 15 minutes.

At the moment I see a few comments criticizing the mixed results in accents and pronunciations. I am a Brazilian who speaks English at work, so I just wanted to share my use case for Youglish. I go to Youglish whenever I have no idea on h

Based in this whole site (which is just the letter), I assume they are positioning themselves to optimize for largest amount of money to be gained in the court against Facebook. HN is dutifully helping them.

Not that I like hedge-fund managers, but isn’t the norm for them to keep a very large portion of their wealth in their own hedge funds? As for the rest of it, it only makes sense to keep it in index funds if not diversify in other types of

Yes, he clearly states he thought that the student group that thought he was stupid were stupid. And later that the only people that would think his test thing was stupid would be the incompetent ones. So his thesis is also that stupid peop

I don’t share your assumption that he purposefully made things more difficult. My assumption is that he really didn’t know which computer came in the smaller box (since, computer size, which is the public info about the product, doesn’t exa

So when gamers brag that the games industry is larger than the movies industry they are mostly bragging about those cassino-like exploitive mobile games, not just their dear AAA games?

Probably worth repeating here an old comment of mine for “side-project” disambiguation. The term "side-project" has a lot of possible interpretations: A - Hobby project to play with some tech just because you find it interesting B

It happened to me with someone that loves Simple Plan. I only noticed in those end-of-the-year lists that Spotify prepares. A bunch of Simple Plan stuff on most played tracks. I changed my password and it took me almost an year of listening

Same here. I still think the tiles interface with vertical scroll was the best one for phones. I don’t dislike either Android or iPhone, but I still miss my Windows phone.

Right now, zero, as I am using only free tiers. But my understanding is that it is expensive when you scale. Vercel first paid plan is $20/month and FaunaDB $25/month, so my guess is a business with some traction would have to pay

Hold on with your caps lock. Minimum wage in Brazil would be less than USD1.50/hour (in today's exchange rate, assuming you are earning for 40 hours/week). 10x the minimum wage for a junior position is a great wage. Also, I d

Not manual work, not low wages (far from it), not likely to be long hours. “Poor conditions” are more open to interpretation, but they are working from their homes, so not “poor workplace condition”.

I only have side-projects, very different from a full-time, revenue earning solo-preneur, but I only use serverless. My preferred stack now is NextJS, hosted on Vercel with FaunaDB. The main reason is to “outsource” devops to them. I am not

Only 3 weeks, only 36 people, mixing men and women, all already lean. I don’t think any result here is relevant to any generalized conclusion, only to inform further research.

All claims about solving societal problems (like food waste, pollution, etc) sounds BS to me. But I do think it solves my problem, as a customer. I am a happy customer of one of these companies, but I am not a hyper busy productivity-optimi

My theory for that is that companies in the US have a culture of prioritizing support tickets by a product of “outrageousness” and reach. If you sound like your next step is to sue the company, they solve your issue before the ones that sou
