   In other words, "hire people who want to work hard for the founders at the expense of their self-promotion".

   Yes. I almost hired someone I met from “who wants to be hired”. Unfortunately they took another job which I imagine they got from the same post that attracted me.

   By “bull in a china shop” does he really mean “the elephant in the corner”?

   In typical Linux fashion, this website is a complete UX nightmare. Where do I click? Why are there so many links? Why does the navigation bar on the right change? I'd like to learn Linux from scratch, but this is making it very hard fo

   Actually I did RTFA (not sure what your Q means) as indicated by my direct reference of groups A-D, but stopped once I saw the JQL style query as that really sealed the deal for me.

   I find this pretty sad to be honest. How would you feel if you were on a B or C list and got some kind of shallow, automated message like this? For me it would probably do the opposite by showing me that you don’t actually value me or our f

    I see this not so much as, “let me quit my swe job to become a plumber” but more so a fundamental alienation from labor (on behalf of OP). I think we can all agree that using intelligence to create abstract flows in code is engaging and rew

    If you don’t mind me asking, what are the e-commerce sites? Also, how does one get into such a business? Were you interested in this space beforehand or did you simply acquire a business that looked promising?

    I actually think this is a great comment, with more substance than your typical HN nit. They are introducing the concept of marginal propensity to consume( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_propensity_to_consu...

    You had me except for the reincarnation/another life bit. Bedsides scripture, is there any evidence of this in science? I'm asking genuinely here.

    Holy smokes, pull up a bag of popcorn, pour a glass of Pinot, and heat up that Volcano! This heavy hitter brings the cultural pith of a Franzen novel and the citation-laden academic register of an SEO educated academic behind a pseudonym. W

    It's easy in the US, just get an AR-15 and cause mayhem in a mall with little to no training.

    I see you referring to yourself as mid-level. Whether that's true or not, apply to all senior swe jobs. Titles vary company to company and even if a role looks for "senior" they still might hire you and bring you on at "

    I'm not sure what kind of music scenes you're looking for, but Miami has one of the best for electronic music in the US, as well as probably latin and reggae.

    My personal opinion is that the async event loop of Js, while powerful and "fast", is unnecessary overhead for most basic CRUD apps. Promises, callbacks, async/await are cumbersome and cause issues when not reasoned through p

    Hey, thanks for asking this question. I feel the same way. However, I think you've already answered your question, (and I have too) which is -- it's the pandemic, not the job. Your pre-pandemic SWE job had enough socialization in

    If you're interested in going slightly further down the "rabbit hole" as the author alludes, check out The New Plant Parent book. That book changed the way I look at house plant care. There is no formula; you need to factor i
