I have a semi-related question I've always wanted to ask an expert. Is there any evidence that multi-cellular life evolved more than once? If not, do you lean one way or the other on the likelihood of it evolving more than once?

If ChatGPT can pass your interview with flying colors, but is so bad at the job it's immediately obvious, your interview process sucks.

How hard can it be? Just tell them where to put the solder.

Working in an open office on cool stuff with legitimate friends was the best work experience I've ever had by far. Most days it didn't even feel like work. Now I wfh full time with people who are just coworkers and I'm misera

They're going to try to make sure we never have fair elections again. I'm not saying they're going to succeed, but they're sure as hell going to try, which is terrifying.

> The biggest mistake those employees make on their way to getting overlooked is assuming their boss knows. 100%. You ask me to do the near impossible, I'll pull it off. But you will be very well-versed in how hard it is first.

You can refuse, but does that mean 8 hours on a hard plastic chair in a waiting room?

Lines removed should count like 5x lines added. I don't trust any developer who doesn't get a thrill out of removing code.

Yeah, I've always worked at non-tech companies with pretty small teams and no roles like that. But it seems like any place with Staff+ engineers should know better than to try to stack them up against more junior devs based on some met

Dev productivity is like quantum mechanics. The second you try to measure it, the wave function collapses, and you've fundamentally altered the thing you were trying to measure. That said, at every place I've worked you could get

If other civilizations are like ours, I have zero faith in them surviving long enough after becoming technologically advanced to communicate with each other.

In my bizarro completely unscientific visualization it makes sense. Say you have a waterbed made out of very stretchy material. It's bound by a hard frame, but the sides of the frame can slowly expand if enough pressure is applied. Wit

A higher minimum wage puts upward pressure on wages at the lower end of the scale, which helps the working class so that they aren't working and on medicare, section 8, food stamps etc. - as many Wal-mart workers currently are. That sa

It wasn't for me. I guess I was too dumb to know I was supposed to feel pressure.

Having FIRE doesn't mean you're ready to retire and build ships in a bottle or whatever. I like programming, it puts me in flow state and keeps my brain young. I want to go out on my own terms. Also good luck with FIRE if you&#x27

Welcome to the wonderful world of coding under pressure, which almost never occurs in the real world. It's a non-issue when you're young and don't feel the pressure. But when you have grey hairs in your beard and know you&#x2

And there's no easy objective way to screen for this in a job interview. So they pretend it doesn't exist and never ask questions like: "Suppose you're designing a green-field app that you think will grow over time like

Yeah, the prospect of layoffs hits a little different when you're in your 50s. I have some non-techie friends in their 50s (sales, project management) who have been looking for a job for years. I've even heard third-hand about som
