Interesting, I'm the total opposite. I feel the rare permission to live as if I'm in cryo stasis and time doesn't matter and no one expects anything from me. The plane noise is like white noise which helps me focus, chilly t

I recently participated in an 85 mile race, and all the nutritional advice boiled down to.. drink a water bottle with a ton of pure sugar and some table salt every 10-20 miles. Bananas and gummies etc. were had, but mostly because they&#x27

It was my opinion, but yes. Highly technical founder CTO, but to me there's a chasm between "can write the code for a b+tree" and "can build and then operate a data platform service". They can build an MVP and impre

I almost left for an ultra early startup, still running on seed money. They offered a typical SDE2-Senior salary + 1%. I was kind of offended. I'd be inventing their core technology (which didn't exist yet and which their CTO wasn

Interesting to hear your experience. I grew up in the Canadian system, and then in university my class was ~25%+ international students from China. They mopped the floor with us locals. It was my introduction to not being even a little good

After years of this in FANG/adjacent, I recently started a new job that isn't like this. I didn't know it really existed. But we work quarter to quarter on goals. If they slip, next quarter is fine, no stress. I work 9-5. Re:

It applies to all data. So it amounts to building a force delete and export feature to any platform you build. I've worked on a few data platforms where the product is literally.. customers give you data, you store it and process it fo

$15 is a cheap Manhattan lunch. Financially, a doctor won't notice it. Presuming that it will be implemented like every other road toll, it will be auto-paid without noticing, too.

That's a little upstream of where in one's anatomy is the common choke point - usually the back of the throat/soft palate relaxes and obstructs all breathing. But I have nose blockage issues and use nasal strips nowadays, t

I bike in Manhattan and it's a dream. A literal grid of 20-30mph traffic, with a greenway up and down in case you want to avoid traffic entirely.

I'm jealous. One coffee: noticeable anxiety 2 coffees a day for a few days turns into a panic attack. I've run the experiment many many times (easy with daily habits and a love for coffee). I definitely have pre-existing anxiety,

Not even sure what you're referring to. Do you think the tone from pressing buttons on your landline is still analog signaling? It is not.

Even if good devex didn't increase productivity, it increases developer happiness and as a developer, I will try to tithe my budgeted time to improve it and hide it among ambiguous tasks. When I feel I can't, I sense I am at a tox
