Because of the massive cost and buerocracy around maintaining a gradation system of handouts like you describe. By some calculations it can even be cheaper for the gov to go all or nothing than it is to run a system of checks with specific

Interesting point. I have stuck with the same stack for about 6 years so maybe this is why I find it easy to get jobs? As for remote work, the majority of the jobs I've had have been either fully remote or partial - like between 1-3 da

Nothing, its always been easy for me to get jobs as a developer, I don't understand people that find it difficult. If you have at least one years full-time experience and are competent on the job then most companies I've known wil

This is a very honest and non-naive answer about the pros and cons of working startups. The "We're a family!" bit made me laugh too - the startup cliches are real. I would add - don't assume that because its a startup th

I dislike using the laptop screen because it causes you to have poor posture. Even if my laptop screen was a retina display that was better than a normal monitor I would still use a monitor for my back's sake. As for multiple monitors,

I have also read a study (can find a link if somebody wants it) that observed bushmen in the kalahari (or somewhere like that - mostly untouched by modern civilisation) and found that the distribution of sleeping patterns (i.e. night owls v

Ok I see what you're saying. But if you have learned something through practice, can't you validate it by researching / googling it? See what people are saying on stackoverflow, in blog posts, in books etc.? Also many univers

You're right that the end user doesn't care about what technology you use, but do they care about things not working? Do they care that a new feature takes 3 months to develop when it could have taken 1 month if the code had been

Why would having an education make an idea or decision any more valid? A good idea is a good idea is a good idea. Also I really shouldn't have to list the famous tech entrepreneurs who dropped out of college or lack degrees entirely be

"How are young developer trained to cybersecurity?" In short, they are not. Which is why you see so many high profile companies being hacked all the time.

A key take-away from this is that the author learned to code because he had a real incentive to do so - in order to create bots to get better at runescape and make lots of money as a side-effect of that. He quickly saw how knowing how to co

This is why burnout is a thing amongst tech workers, especially for Silicon Valley style startups. I also can't understand why some employees would fall for these YC cliches "changing the world", "hustle, work hard play

Other than Spain, I think the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and most of the Scandinavian countries are ones where you could get by with English while you learn the local language. Oh and of course, the UK and Ireland (if you co

100% this. For a team of good developers this is by far the best model to get things done. SCRUM only serves to prevent a very bad team from doing even worse then they would do otherwise. However for a team of competent developers SCRUM is

Can we please stop with the "I see lots of foreigners", "I don't see any foreigners" anecdotes!? Seriously, I expected better from HN posters. From this article we can see that there are 2.73 million foreigners in J

So do you think it's OK for me as a white Englishman to consider a black person born in England to not truly be English? What about for a German to consider Jews to be less German? Is that ok too? Its just their "culture" rig

No, don't tell them. Not because they will take it as a threat but because you will look quite silly if you do mention this. Recruiters scan LinkedIn for anybody that has even just a couple mention of the skills they are looking for an

Thats great, you are gaining a TON of really valuable experience. It also means that you are worth a hell of out lot more to this company than 23k. If you were to quit and they had to hire somebody to fill this role, they would have a very
