I'm at the start of the "one man army" thing at the company I started working at last month, thanks for being so candid about your experience. I'm gonna really be forceful to make sure we can hire new people for backup.

I think the last bullet point you listed must be really helpful. I don't remember where I read it, but I recently heard Hemingway used to do something similar where he would write to a point that he really wants to continue, then stop

So, in this analogy, white people are the victims, and minorities are the bullies? I guess if you strip all historical context out of the racial issues, ignore current inequalities, and just focus on what people on Tumblr are saying, I gues

Try reading Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher, from what you just said it sounds like you might really like it. He covers a lot of the themes you're talking about in a really approachable way As for what other conception of states can

Forgive me for being flippant, but yes, if a union of writers acts like a bad example of how unions are supposed to act, the union of writers will be bad But why would you say that? It feels very defeatist to me to do something like that

If the majority of your co-workers join the union, at what point do you feel that you would be scabbing by not joining the union that is fighting for better standards for you?

I just started at a new job where using filezilla to drag and drop changes is what has been done... It was previously one other dev working on it and after a week of there being me and him there were already a couple of major conflicts that

"Comparable to Sadiq Khan (the major of London) claiming that terror attacks are just part and parcel of life in the big city" I'm so incredibly sick of hearing this. It's completely a fabrication. That's not what t

The best tip i had when using vim is to almost never actually use h or l. w and b are faster because they move you horizontally between words, so pressing w 5 times will get you to the fifth "word" on a line, and b will go backwar

The final, moving message of the book comes down to "live in the present." Something we hear 50 times a day from friends, commercials, videos, etc. But I think Siddhartha communicates and brings the reader on a journey that result

Buying an expensive coffee from the largest coffee brand in the world will not open new markets, increase competetion, etc. That seems tautological What will do what you seem to want is buying from the 'road-side chai stalls' you

This is great and all, but I don't want any person making the amount of money Bezos is making. He makes more in 5 days than most people make in 5 lifetimes. He wields immense power that will only get stronger as corporate consolidation

There's almost a crabs in the bucket type thing that is really obvious to see when a person becomes successful. People start to dredge up all the shitty things in their past. MLK was an adulterer, Mother Theresa was a dick, etc etc. I

You're right, I was born with the Internet and grew up with it as a constant. Some of my earliest memories are literally of those ugly gray 90's computers. It's not about quitting the internet to get 'back to basics&#x27

I was reading a book a couple weeks ago and there was a throwaway line that really stuck out to me. I think it was a David Foster Wallace book It was something like all the great themes are taken. We've taken all the great themes and a

What have we lost? In my opinion, a big part of it is the illusion that people are more than just people With the internet, we've been able to confirm that everyone is, more or less, just like us. You can see this especially in up and
