   I didn’t see the tweet as gatekeeping, maybe just something stemming from survivorship bias. What I got from it was that this is a challenge unlike other work related challenges. For one there’s no comp if things don’t work out, whereas any

   I get that too but as I get older I start “getting it” as to why people do what they do. Doesn’t matter who they are to me, but life is complicated and ultimately it’s easier to just be understanding and let go.

   I'll just say that it is way, way more fun to work with people who also look at software engineering as a hobby. End of the day we're just playing with lego bricks that happen to be computer bits. Do you want to be the person who

   I’m personally looking forward to returning to the office. I think after this is over I’m going to find a smaller startup to work at or a smaller company. Working remote makes me feel like a robot and I miss being around other people and fi

   I mostly build apps and services, so SO (lol) continues to be very useful for me. For instance, there are a myriad of bugs and glitches that come up in mobile app dev, or when using any popular programming language or framework. SO continue

   I resonate with #4. I'm in US, so healthcare is tied to employer. My first job ever paid 12/hr and I did not have health care and it was a part time job, so I'm glad I could rely on my mother's health insurance until age

   Mass Effect 2. Learned the importance of team building and cooperation. RuneScape taught 10 year old me basic economics and how to run a business (running lobsters and runes). World of Warcraft taught me how to manipulate (in game) markets.

   May be silly but I like to join slack channels of technologies or things I’m interested in and seeing the discussions in the advanced topics. Even if I don’t get it I can figure it out and learn. It’s how I got into programming years ago (n

    I’d probably work any easy, low stress job in a country with socialized health care and work on my tech hobby in my spare time.

    I’ve worked on eight projects all of which were different domains. Some weren’t even directly tech related (supply chain process optimization, transportation and logistics). I have a two page resume and always feel bad about it. That being

    May I ask what you do with such businesses? Do you improve upon them?

    The one you’re most comfortable with that the company either uses or is looking to use. Unless otherwise specified of course. The goal should be to prove how you think out of a hole, not necessarily the language unless certain features will

    I’ll work 4 days a week for 100% salary. If the profits aren’t going down why is my salary going to go down?

    I’ve been stopped at knife point at dark by two people. It was traumatizing and I have no sympathy towards bad actors. What am I supposed to do? Just get stabbed and be thankful that the criminals were nice enough not to kill me? I was goin

    I don't look at it as just coding, but rather the purpose behind that code. I don't know if I am interested in coding for years and years, but I do enjoy solving problems and right now I am doing it via coding. Seeing that code so

    4-6 hours per day on both Saturday and Sunday, sometimes more. I am trying to learn as much as I can right now, and hoping to one day start my own company or build my own app.
