Why do You believe that programming is itself horrible? I do it for almost 20 years and have love and hate relationship with it, but would never say its intrinsically horrible - its just a tool (the real hell is other people as they say :))

Thats true, when both my children passed that bar (younger is just over 5 and older is 9) a lot of things got much better. But do not kid yourself (pun intended) if you are not sociopath You will feel that You need to care for them for the

Cynicism or realizm? Sometimes its really hard to tell because the people that call You cynic are often lost in their idealizm. And I believe that depression in this situation means that You are simply still expecting too much.

I suspect that there is some overgeneralization going on with the term "talent". We see something that is hard for us and we immediately throw it in the same bag. Even if there can be some better explanation. There is a lot of mic

Wow, that's a very long way to say "Is it nature, or is it nurture ? I don't know.". But putting jokes aside - we know for sure that there are conditions that limits brains capacity to learn. Be it genetical, environment

I met some really hard working people that literally had no good ideas - only poor clones of the most obvious solutions. So for me, event if it took him some work, he was far above most of others. And I like to read the quote about Feynman

Is this overengineering attitude coming from those few longstanding members? Because if so, I don't see how You can convince them of the value of simplicity (and that any kind of abstraction have a cost) if they themselves does not see

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I believe that engaging others is always a case of emotional intelligence and communication skills. There is no amount of rational arguments that can bring them on Your side if they do not feel that You are right.

It has been rather long time since I studied philosophy but I remember somehow fuzzily that stoicism is what You are looking for. It has some good ideas about being good (or rather better because they did not believed in absolutes). https:

Just out of curiosity - where do You get those queries from ? By which I mean - Are they static templates, and You get them from source code, or they are dynamic and You gather them from logs (and risk that some rare queries will be left ou

I have heard this argument against WFH many times over. Especially from my relatives that work in bullshit jobs (cough ... investment banking ... cough). I wonder if people that brings up this understand what they are really saying. Because
