I think it’s a combination of: - good parents (e.g., if one or both of your parents are engineers/scientists, you may get exposed to that world from an early age). They may have taught you to be curious, to tinker with things, to work

Not sure why this is downvoted. We are supposed to be on a forum where the majority here are people trained on science and engineering. If a rational argument as the one above gets downvoted in HN, well, I can only imagine what the rest of

If there’s extraterrestrial life that can manage to travel to earth… then they probably have the tech to acclimate humans in 0.5 seconds using extraterrestrial drugs.

Any specific situation? If that oversmart person thinks their solution for a problem is the best, but you think that’s far from true, then just provide a better solution?

But if a new method is needed, servers have to support it (e.g., by updating them to the next version that supports the new method). In the same sense, couldn’t that new version “just” not drop the body of GET requests? In any case we are t

Wouldn’t be enough to “extend” GET so that it supports a body payload as well?

I’ve tried two times (once 1 year ago and one more time one month ago) without success to register an account on Hetzner. They always end up either directly rejecting me or asking for my ID/passport. There’s simply no chance I’m giving

Frontend developers don’t want to write HTML nor augmented HTML. They want to write code, and these days that means JS. Frontend developers want to make good money (like those backend developers or even infrastructure developers who are wor

Somehow I’ve never worked for “fresh” startups. Alway worked for startups that had at least 4 years of life (they qualify as startups at that stage? I guess so). It’s been great: - Never had to do extra hours. 9-5 only - Plenty of room to “

I can only use ChatGPT with generic code questions, because I don’t want to upload proprietary code to OpenAI’s servers. In that regard, ChatGPT is slightly faster than Googling/SO. I don’t see any productivity boost as long as I canno

In an ideal world, yes hybrid is the best. But hybrid becomes easily non-realistic when 99% of job offers in country X come from city Z and you live in town W (which is not close to Z). In an ideal world, I would love to go to the office ev

Things I enjoy: - compiled. So I can release a binary quite easily - I can usually reach far without relying on third-party libraries/frameworks (e.g., http servers, json parsing, testing) - it’s relatively easy to understand other’s p

Writing is harder than talking. In my experience, people who don’t care spending time writing properly, well, they usually don’t care about your time. Or perhaps it’s just me, since I’m a non-native English speaker, at work I re-read (and r

But one cannot just consider the benefits of office work in isolation. If working remotely makes me see my family and friends more hours per week (e.g., having breakfast and lunch with my partner/kids) then to the hell that x% of produ

by tkiolp4 3y ago
Honest question: why do you care? Don’t you prefer to see your family and friends more than working 8h+commute time? If you think you are working and others are not, why does that bother you? You are getting paid anyway. If you are forced t

One has to distinguish between management and upper management. I have met plenty of middle managers (e.g., Engineer managers) who love working from home, but have to sell the “go back to the office “ idea because it’s coming from upper man

I think I agree with what you said. That being said, for me when it comes to balance work (as in “working for company X for Z money/year) vs non-work, I put all the weight in non-work. That means: - in-person is better for collaboratio

It’s harder because you (the one asking for help) first need to articulate your problem in a way that is understandable via text. So, I would say that’s an advantage for everyone: think first, then ask. Usually, in the office is: poke first

How does hybrid fix anything? Seniors at home and juniors in the office? 1 day/week everyone at the office (so “no-hire” to anyone who doesn’t live in the city)?

So, no one in your company lives in a city far away from the office? If so, how do they handle it? Imagine having to drive 6h to get from home to the office. Suddenly, your 3-days/month become 4-days/month plus accommodation.

What you say is true, but on the other hand remote work (usually) brings benefits to your “non-work” life. I definitely wouldn’t like to trade the niceties of the office (not many, but not zero either) with the niceties of remote work (whic

But there exists 100% remote companies, even before Covid. In such companies this “lunch culture” doesn’t exist (never existed). We should learn from such companies because I think remote work is more about finally putting more emphasis on

There is only code that works and code that doesn’t. The best code is no code at all. Everything else is subjective.

They are playing the distraction game. So, something more important is happening now, but “they” want to shift the focus to somewhere else.

I wonder how many engineers out there are truly aligned with their company’s leadership. In my experience (more than 10 years of experience), I have experienced the following stages: - junior engineer: I really didn’t know leadership even e

MBP M1 feeling hot? That must be the first time I heard this. I own one (16 inch) and I run a few VMs, a few IDE instances, dozens of browser tabs, terminals, video in the background… and my M1 is not even warm.
