It could be you’ve been in the wrong all those ten years.

Until they no longer choose to cut employee costs, or what would be the end goal here?

You might want to go with Occam’s razor here and admit that there’s probably no conspiracy going on with incapable executives running companies, and instead the right hiring choices are being made.

Yes, like all of Elon Musk’s undertakings; ready for bankruptcy at any moment, if HN is asked.

Do you think there's any correlation between "fastest-growing for software development" and "number of people who do software development exercises"?

I'd be very skeptical even if it was inactive accounts as well. For active accounts it has to be a fraction of a percentage.

Might be, although frankly we’ll never know.

It took me a while in life to realise that some people are just made to succeed. These people are typically good to great at anything they put their minds to. Just because you say those questions are an extremely poor predictor of a candida

For largely the same reasons why graduating from top schools is given more credit than any old college, even if the level of teaching is similar. Getting in takes determination, intelligence, and discipline. Same with getting good at Leetco

In that case you buy a desktop.

This just reads like a boomer hipster rant that gathers points on Reddit and HN for some bizarre reason. The 1970s car had a ton of parts and mechanisms only professionals could fix. Not being able to touch car software is good, and demand

Well aren’t you cynical.

I would — frankly nothing exists in the Intel/Nvidia line to compete with M3 in terms of efficiency. This laptop will either not run the necessary software or run out of battery in less than two hours doing it. More than likely both si

Frankly, none of this matters. Cloudflare decides what the adequate results would have been, not HN users.

After spending some time on HN, I’d be terribly surprised if the reaction wasn’t exactly like it is in these threads. If there’s one thing I’d bet big money on in the world, it’s the gullibility of HN users. Or Reddit users, since this is j

It’s fairly obvious you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to sales or business. Maybe offer your opinion with a bit less confidence.

Companies are made of individuals, and individuals can be shady and crooked. In a vacuum, it’s probably somewhat as likely that the person getting fired and the company doing the firing are scumbags. I’d personally argue that companies have

Perhaps this is a subject where no good options exist, and chasing a win-win solution is unfruitful and unnecessary.

Which model do you think stimulates economic growth more? Which model could be said to give individuals more liberty? Socialism and authoritarianism are treacherous ideas because they can seem so enticing in many contexts.

What on earth is your reasoning for saying this? I really dislike the habit of stating something absolutely ludicrous and running away with it.

I think it’s fair to say you’re not the type to ever run a business, successful or not, with that attitude.

The cases you describe in your last paragraph are not rare by any means — they’re everywhere, since all of the western world has seen a move towards bigger governments and socialism in the last decades.

I think that’s a bad sign, but honestly, I think lacking motivation for any important thing in your life might have a lot to do with something else than “thing is actually bad for you”. A poor diet, lack of sleep, or lack of exercise are gu

Poor use of LLMs is incredibly easy to spot, and works as today’s sign of a worthless post/comment/take.

Yes, the average US engineer is better than the average Indian engineer. Any other questions?

I think people who claim this are massively exaggerating any possible effect.

No thank you. I have absolutely no interest in it nor need for it. It’s your job to make me switch, and frankly I see zero reason to care. Chrome and Safari work fine.
