What? I had very little growing up. When I left home I had one suitcase, a small box, and nothing else. My abusers never gave me anything. I didn’t go straight to university but was instead a transfer student from community college. Sorry t

I hadn’t heard of it. Interesting stuff. I certainly feel like I experienced dramatic personal growth after leaving home with much of it in the categories that link mentions.

It’s $200k base and $100k stock. Indeed at a large startup.

I work as a Site Reliability Engineer. I changed jobs not long ago. The Java game is just a hobby.

I believe that my success can largely be attributed to deep anxiety. I have CPTSD from many terrible years of childhood trauma. As a teenager I struggled with intense depression and hopelessness. Then one day it was like something snapped.

Why does your landing page say "100% guaranteed protection" and then follow it up "$5 million in insurance against losses due to SIM swaps"? It directly undermines the 100% claim.

I don't think there's a shortage of people who can architect reliable services. I think companies simply put reliability on the back burner because it rarely bites them. It's the same reason technical debt is so rarely paid o

I'm pretty sure it's a timezone thing. Devs in Colombia are working at the same as the devs in the states or Canada.

Why aren't shorter games worth the money? I really dislike the way modern games inflate their length because it's usually tons of padding.

I wouldn't say you're wrong. It does look very similar to a Hubble deep field image because there isn't much of a difference visually between the different scales.

Do you really think it's okay for a kids game to promote an artist that openly admits to being pedophile?

The cost of imprisoning people is subsidized by the government. Who profits off of their labor though? When my mother was in prison she worked for a private company for well below our states minimum wage. So her employer profited off of her

It's because crypto has never been anything more than an investment vehicle. Bitcoin was briefly used as a real currency until people realized that it was inflationary in nature and then the mantra became "HODL".

> It's cool that you can setup a system where the people running it don't have admin powers. How often is this true in practice? It seems like crypto often has centralized points where people have admin powers.

I am greatly appreciative of Drew's work. I too have found that people will be intensely negative about anything I do online. It can be really hard to tune out the trolls because there is often truth to what they're saying. I just

Right? There's no way they're hiring good engineers with this BS. I ghosted them after they asked me to do the essay round because I was already nearing the offer stage with multiple companies. Reading the comments on this thread

Asking me how I did in high school when I graduated over a decade ago is just completely pointless. It is in no way representative of who I am now.

So many tech companies are bloating the interview process with seven or more interviews. For my current role I did several interviews and the record during my most recent cycle was ten IIRC. The particularly annoying part is that most of th

Amazing! It says at the end of the video "your pointer will be added to the video within the hour". I wonder if that's true.

Types are definitely very useful for complex refactoring. However, I disagree with the author that it wasn’t possible before types. Combining a healthy amount of unit tests along with some integration tests makes complex refactoring totally

The premise of this story is one I lived. I was a web dev intern for a local government office and they actually emailed each other zips of dotnet apps. The only difference is that my git pitch went really well and they promised they would

Yeah, this is sad because it sounds like Friday was doing something right. It really seems like they could have had sustainable growth.

It’s interesting because I’m sure many executives think these things. They just aren’t dumb enough to put it into writing.

Lately I've been working on improving the performance of an open-source HD graphics plugin for the 21 year old Java game oldschool runescape. I have to say it's completely amazing what this ancient Java code has achieved. Reflecti

Reminds me of my grandmother’s small Alabama town. They have a population of around 1500 and the city spent a large chunk of relief funds after some bad tornado damage building a huge “city hall” police station. Last time I was there they h
