Author's thoughts on what is broken are: 1. Too much reliance on automated filtering of resumes 2. Companies asking for too much years of experience with specific tech/language/stack 3. Developers dismiss other developers (fo

Lewis would be my example for nonfiction . Narnia is fun and all, but it's stuff like "The Inner Ring" ( https://www.lewissociety.org/innerring/ ) where he really shines.

PG is apropos for this forum, but beyond that he is plainly a good writer. I don't know who you consider 'amazing writers across our civilization' -- but whether it is Gracian or Scott Alexander, PG shares one thing with them

He is not running a business, who is to say that making backups for personal use is somehow 'abusive' or 'non-residential'?

Your experiences match mine. There are multiple replies to your post that try to reframe the problems you highlight as a class struggle or dismiss them altogether, as if blasting music in public places should be an acceptable norm. I want t

You can like your own niche without holding a strong opinion about ‘letting people in’. Not going out of one’s way to be welcoming is not an indication of gatekeeping or any other ill intent.

Congratulations! I wish you long to remain in the life situation where you can freely trade time for challenge ;) Also I wouldn’t call QT ‘misery’. Drudgery maybe?

There is this weird meme that using Python is beneficial during interviewing -- you mention it, the OP mentions it, I have experienced it myself and seen friends mention it. I don't know how or why this meme infects people; in my inter

People leave all the time, for all sorts of reasons, e.g. to get side-promoted, to work on something different, to get more money. I've seen the opposite of your thesis -- that people who have opportunities and actively work on their c

The representation of the empty list does not change, it's still an IntList object with a null Head field. The downvotes probably come from my blatant disregard of the real-world performance in the search of what I considered the real
