I am VERY surprised they picked Final Fantasy III (VI in reality) instead of Chrono Trigger (while including two Kirby games). The latter is way more popular, at least in the West. The former is the best Final Fantasy, though :-)

I assume the average age-at-first-child of tech workers in urban areas is 30-35. That makes the early 40s still fairly busy. Still no excuse not to hire anyone.

> Additionally, someone over 40 is supposed to be in or near their peak earning years, which lasts ten to twenty more years (or did historically anyway) so their expenditure is going to be significantly more than someone with a few years

What's crazy is that in the Bush/early Obama years 4chan was fairly liberal in terms of politics.

This doesn't answer your question, but have you tried interviewing at companies that don't get a thousand awesome resumes a day and thus have very tough interview process? When I interviewed last year I had none of these problems.

This. If anything, developers do way better in their mid 20s than almost any other profession. If you ask older people about their early jobs, most will tell you they sucked and paid very little.

The "dream" scenario would be to leave training and mentoring to the actual companies. I understand a 5 person startup does not have the bandwidth to teach, but larger companies do yet most reject smart graduates because they don&

If you're an Elixir dev, it pays to both keep an eye on Erlang and learn its standard library (the parts not implemented in Elixir). There's a lot stuff already in there that you don't have to reinvent when doing Elixir. And

While the idea of donating to a library is always good, I doubt the usefulness of giving a library books on completely outdated technology that 0.0001% of people still use. Have you ever been to a used book store or library? Their tech sect

"Geeky" is the wrong word to use here. Educated people with ""good"" jobs have children later - geeks that work in software/STEM/medicine are included. Plenty of my non-geek friends with good income c

No independent image hosting service can scale because of pricing. It gets too expensive and users will never pay for it so they rely on ads + annoying ways to get ad revenue.

This might be dumb and I'm only 23 but if you live in an expensive city/area, get a roommate/SO/whatever for a year or so. Funnel all saved living expenses to loans/savings account. It's not as nice as being al

This actually can go back to the middle ages. Obviously, middle ages longevity is by no means comparable to the 1800s, let alone now, but the people who made it past say, 30-40 did live until their 70s, even 80s. People didn't drop dea

The problem with the argument for/against "serendipity" is that 95% of these spontaneous conversations are useless and created solely to kill boredom, but the remaining 5% do end up helping out. My dream scenario would be pri

What's the Japanese use of (Japanese-developed) apps vs mobile sites?

True. At work we use React for the practical reasons explained by others in the comments. My point was that Vue doesn't need to be huge. It's fine the way it is and its current size has some benefits.

I think there's merit on staying small-ish. Not every framework has to be a giant that dominates the industry. Having a small community means the potential for focus and strong canonical learning resources, as opposed to the mess of po

I still wouldn't buy a drill today, but I'd consider renting one from Home Depot before asking neighbors (mostly because the idea of asking neighbors wouldn't cross my mind, to prove GP's point).

Nope. After many tries at todo apps, organizational techniques, etc I've decided I am simply not busy enough to need to plan anything. The only thing I am organized with is my sleeping (always sleep at 12am, always wake up at 7am).

Programming subreddits, aside from a few well moderated ones, are more full of vitriol, fanboyism, and misinformation than HN.

Yeah, this has been a 4chan thing since the mid 2000s. Guess this is a sign of its lack of relevancy these days.

Reddit is a YC company. YC companies, like most high profile VC-backed startups, are supposed to own the world and be worth billions.

It's not React specifically. It's just JS. Reddit already has the worst performing mobile site because it's full of JS.

Time flies in the cash registers (unless the store is dead). Stacking shelves and organizing them is so boring that your four hour shift will feel like eight.
