I did a very similar thing. I love the experience of coffee shops and neighborhood-style bars. I really want to produce a particular experience for others to enjoy. So I started modeling the business and.. holy shit. At BEST I'm cleari

Exhausting because they work so diligently that it's difficult to keep up with?

In the sense that people looking for a new career will move towards non-tech paths instead - hell no. These layoffs are minor. I think the opposite will become increasingly true: folks that otherwise would not be found in a computer scien

Is that any different from trying to source it "on your own"?

Yes. "crying for no reason" hits home for me. Also back in the industry. Still feel on the edge of a break at times, but I hold on now rather than throw my hands up and quit because having SOME external constant is very useful to

Yes I like a 4-5y rule. Highschool, college, jobs.. Enough time to really transform yourself, then move on.

But then it's static while transactions aren't occurring. This only makes sense to me in a system in which the load IS a transaction like a payment gateway, or a strict single tenant architecture. You're not gonna scale when

Are you me? Jesus I took a regular job in January 2020 because I was over being a contract developer working at home. No luck now.. I agree fully with you. I'm in my 30s though everything else the same. I would definitely feel opposite

Thanks. Good tip for desktop, will install. But the main vector for me is my phone. Which dumbphone did you pick up?

Thanks for that comparison. I have never truly experienced addiction without losing self control for whatever reason. I can start and stop smoking, drugs never took a hold. I feel the pull for sure, but am able to stop. But I lose several h

Right. It's a harmful bias to have as a recruiter/hiring manager. At their own peril, I guess! But honestly I've never heard of it outside this thread. It universally seen as at least "this person passed a very high hiri

I'll concede it's a useful crutch for those 1-2y out of a bootcamp. I even used it to get internships in university. And it's the advice I give to my friends in that position. But not OPs situation here.

The test itself would provide a test dataset. That way you can cook up the interesting cases and ensure your queries work on them.

Most official communication reads so sterile already. Might as well just train a model with the latest DEI-speak.

Huh.. not only the quote but also the promotion bit. I'm shocked. Must be a case of her having read this tweet and subconsciously regurgitating it. Otherwise I'm scared for our eventual chatgpt overlords.

Glad you got some relief. It is truly puzzling. My doc stopped at Linzess, of course. Ultimately I don't want to take a pill every day for the rest of my life. Have a pointer to the folks that helped you?

Everyone I know of this ilk is utterly miserable (n=4). They may never need to work, but their life's work is just coping with that fact (or something )

Hmm.. same/similar. Maybe I should go outside the western playbook a little further. Thanks. An episode of extreme stress during the pandemic has left me with IBS-C. Apologize for TMI. Before: I ate anything, whenever, in whatever quan

> You have more to lose than to gain Best case you get a job you want. Worst case you apply to a different job. Seems outsized in the gain department, for all parties (considering how dumb a GPA requirement is on a resume).

Definitely put 4.0 GPA. If they ask for proof, spend a few bucks on fiverr and get a photoshop wizard to cook you up a transcript.

Until ChatGPT, the term "artificial intelligence" felt like a misnomer for any of the tech that came out in the last 10y (which seemed mostly like statistical techniques for solving specific optimization problems).

Obviously overcoming the inertia to leetcode a while and go through the interview ringer on top of everything else that's going on in their life is WAY harder than just.. rolling out of bed whenever and logging on until the end of the

Also done with Coinbase, took all my funds out finally last week. They were arbitrarily blocking the movement of my assets. Every time I would log in to transfer some cryptocurrency to another wallet, it would fail and an error message woul

Correct, lobbying had no effect on the immediate employment status of an individual. But we were given an outlet, and through that an explanation of why we lost an essential engineer and friend . I'd like to believe that it had an eff

It's better and worse. Performance isn't quantitatively tracked at all times, so firing whoever some low level manager elects is subject to incredible bias, and I think a major lawsuit risk.

Every employee is an investor too. It could be orchestrated within reason, or at least attempted. But what I'm talking about is there were layoffs in the news and not a single peep about it in my email inbox or slack channel, nor even
