That's the thing, there is an almost impenetrable media wall that no amount of "this is bad" news articles can get through IMO the only thing that can get through is actual personal consequences for the voter themself

Exactly, I'm not saying do the bare minimum I mean more that the optimal amount of work to put in is still above average but way below 10x

Agree, I use both Mac/Windows a lot and I feels like Apple usually has a couple OS features that make me want to upgrade whereas windows there's nothing

Why even comment then? OP explained up front what the tool does Its like walking by a poster advertising guitar lessons and exclaiming out loud "I don't want guitar lessons!"

That sounds like a premise for a comedy sketch

You're not wrong In my experience if you want interesting work you need to seek out a more niche domain like systems programming, graphics, computer vision, audio, embedded, AI, GPU programming, robotics, gamedev, etc... Something that

I can't read ProgrammerHumor anymore for that reason Its like every joke is aimed at someone who just took their first CS class

by superconduct123 2y ago
My main takeaway from reading that book was that working in tech in the late 70s was not that different from now days Just different technology/hardware/timescale Same workplace problems, personality types, company politics, etc..

Ah neat Great article by the way OP

by superconduct123 2y ago
I know exactly what you mean I went the other way from webdev to working in games and in my experience it really is as fun/interesting as it sounds, the satisfaction of the work is so much higher and the ceiling/depth of the topic
