I don’t have magic to share and certainly have taken on bad jobs I regretted signing on to, but for one, I always look for some degree of humanized speech in the job listings. So what I mean by that is not so much fluff about how great the

I find it nice that you gave an epilepsy warning. We have a long way to go in a11y for the internet as well as really all media consumable by human senses, but I do feel like strides have been made and awareness is much higher now compared

So since that is true of nearly every society on earth, does that make the world societally insane or sane?

Okay, so you shifted the goalpost of context from being about the effect of drugs on the brain to the greater societal effects of X drug needing Y things to happen to exist. Why not throw in animal testing in pharmaceuticals as well? Of cou

I think you just hit bad luck because that hiring manager sounds like an idiot. I work for one of the largest American banks and like any other big company (like Github!) we have very competent people and less competent people as well - in

I had a hunch that may have been the case but I was hoping it wasn't that simple.

Why is Apple so hard on small developers with incredible scrutiny on releases and sometimes seemingly arbitrary eval criteria, and Tik Tok can run rampant with a keylogger injected with JavaScript? Genuinely asking in good faith here as th

I don't have any substance to leave here, I just want to say that I appreciate your writing style - "As punishment for your deployment of this canard" had me laugh out loud at something for the first time in days. Beautiful p

I agree. I’m not even defending Marc here, which seems to be how my comment is perceived so obviously I didn’t articulate the way I wanted to. I was responding to the GP’s sentiment of density becoming the new desired standard. I’d prefer a

Not in my experience. If my neighbor now has a house party, I don’t hear it. Not so anytime I lived in an apartment. In an apartment building my dogs would have to be taken to a community dog park (often small and neglected in many apartmen

Yes, that is where I have lived most of my life - grew up in a town of about 4000 people. In Massachusetts though, so calling it “rural” feels a bit of a stretch, haha. But definitely feels as you described.

I’n not advocating for that, it was pretty clear in my OP.

I would prefer we did not do that. Just personally. As an introvert and someone with a general distaste for being around most of the public, I'll keep my not-so-dense living situation. Whether it's mixed income, mixed familial str

That doesn't make the GP question any less relevant or meaningful.

Just as good. Definitely in a different way, in some aspects. If you liked BB I have to insist it's worth watching.

A little late to reply but yes I am always happy to talk about this kind of thing. Unfortunately the reality is that my story is not in any way interesting; I didn't start off as a railroad engineer or 2nd grade teacher or anything lik

I'd bet the farm you are right. At the same time, I've worked at Google-sized companies (non-FAANG) for about five years now. And in my experience like anything else in corporate politics, the appearance is everything. Many of the

I am guessing that at least partially, it is designed to replicate what is likely a common scenario with police officers in which they are questioning someone who has either just been a victim or is potentially being deceptive/closed o

Amazing. I came into programming from a bit of an unorthodox professional background. When I started learning web app development in a serious way, I got blindsided by some of the encounters with vim. In fact it took a long time before I ev

Yes, that would be great. We use gitlab, but the budgeting is so siloed that for the most part only developers ever get credentials

It's tough for me to square with the JIRA hate. I don't mean to simply be contrarian here, I have limited (<6 months) experience. But the alternative horrors I've been forced to use - like Rally or a couple internal tools

Sure, so let’s just not give feedback on apps ever again, because the same big companies we demonize at every turn for being advantageous capitalists can do whatever they want - courtesy of ToC and other such legalese. Pack it in, folks!

I got blasted by a college-aged girl who was driving ~50 MPH through a red light at 11PM early this year. I credit the Tesla safety systems for my lack of physical injuries. Mentally though, a whole other story. Apart from the witness who w

Same exact deal here. I LOVE powerwash simulator mentioned in the article. Also love sweating out hours in payday 2 getting raided by horde after horde of enemies.

I think the way that you put the approach of both parties sums it up pretty well and is the core of a lot of our systems that appear to be so dysfunctional right now. OT tangent / rant: COVID is a great example too. GOP? Do nothing. De

Interesting, that would make sense. In the last six months/yr I’ve been told by two different recruiters “all of these positions are hybrid. You may be able to start out full remote for one or two of them, but it’s going to reduce your

by vogt 4y ago
Well, that hasn’t been the case any time I’ve talked to a recruiter in the last 6 months regardless. So there’s either misalignment internally or I’m just getting fed into the wrong pipelines.

by vogt 4y ago
Good luck and thanks for the resource, Google. But as I’ve told your recruiters over and over in the last year, you won’t even get me into an interview with your anti full time remote work policy.

I made use of a “for fun” type React module called react-rainbow-ascii (paraphrasing) that had figlet integration that worked really nicely just yesterday. If the author stumbles upon this comment, just know I appreciate the ability to leve
