I've found almost everyone struggles converting to remote work and empathized a lot with my colleagues as we on boarded together. Some of them didn't like it and went back to Amazon or Google or some other startup. My advice if y

I'm curious why one would care in the first place. But to answer your question- in my family we find vinyl a fun way of discovering artists and songs we would never be served by either a DJ on the radio or some algorithm used by a serv

I am currently in a support role at a company(not GCP) with some pretty big enterprise customers and let me just say that supporting software is fucking hard. You essentially have to be a systems engineer/sysadmin for every one of your

Agreed. I know some family friend land lords who not only do this but prefer cash rent payments so as to avoid(in this case, illegally) taxation. Sucking the air out of a community and then putting nothing back into it. It's really sha

I feel that I have a lucid understanding of the lack of skills that I learned during my undergraduate program- that is exactly why I am frustrated with my experience.

I agree. I say all of this as someone making over six figures working from home in a situation I could have never imagined myself in ten years ago. I needed my degree; but just to get my foot in the door. I didn't learn much during the

Please- how is this even remotely constructive at all? Do you expect us to solve the climate crisis by suggesting that nobody ever do anything at all? I'm surprised you stopped short and didn't criticize our choice to have a child

I'm a huge bike advocate. I also have the luxury of working from home, but when I didn't, I took a combination of bike/train to work. But- I'm having a kid and I have two huge mutts that I adopted. My wife and I like to

Huh? There have been tons of layoffs in tech in the past year or two. If this were what you consider the start then I suspect you haven't been looking close enough. Spending your time trying to correlate every event to something larger

This video seems totally absurd. Our world in 2030 will be nothing like the one pictured here... one wonders how you could give this talk and be considered intelligent or perceptive whatsoever.

I just inherited a 2009 MacBook 13" Pro from a family member. It has 2 gb of ram and a hard drive, which I plan to upgrade for about 50$. Note that it is trivial to upgrade these things. Even without these upgrades it works fine. I hav
