My right index finger is ruined from constant use of an Apple trackpad for about 3 years now. Screw trackpads. Get a mouse.

It strikes me as curious that someone who spent a lot of time in the radar industry would make the original statement you made, at least in that fashion. Also, radar is subject to interference as well. In addition, there are many things tha

Not sure, but if it involves automating more jobs away, wank off.

That too, but also, a lot of us outside the valley have to deal with the unfortunate consequence of everyone looking towards SV as the "trendsetters" or sort of the ones who set the "meta" for "modern" software

I really dislike this constant caveat that people keep placing against SV. "Well it isn't a problem outside of SV!" I keep seeing this appear in comment after comment on this article

Thanks I am glad you found it helpful. Write something down on actual paper and hang it up on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror. Write the steps down. Focus on single steps. Reward yourself in proportion to the size of the task, don&#x

Meh. That's all I have to say about that. We already have the distinction between software that can actually affect people's lives in a negative/positive way and software that is merely a nuance or inconvenient. The former is

Your expectations are correct. This is just a horribly, inhumane comment on every level. It's the equivalent to telling someone suffering from relationship abuse "Just get a new spouse!"

Your latter point is not really a point at all. There is vendor lock in at every corner with AWS. The big 3 all do this. In my view, there's really only two things that can reduce cost enough to make a difference: 1. Reducing energy co
