But kids have to do a lot of things they don’t want to do. Going to school in the first place is often one of them.

I did not. Do you have a link?

I’ll second this. Netflix was one of my favorite places to work as well for mostly the same reasons. Having said that I do hear they are getting bigger and things have changed somewhat recently. So YMMV. Edit: it’s also nice to not have eth

Yea looking back I think the barrier is so much lower today. I started programming in basic as well. While it was fun and fairly easy to get started, pretty quickly I hit a wall. After doing some basic things I ran out of ideas on what to b

I’ve spent a bit of time in the rural areas of a developing country when I was younger visiting extended family. These were farmers that were fairly poor. In the summer months, lots of work, from dawn until dusk. But after the harvest until

Aren't the growth of most companies tied to some third party? At the very least most companies can be negatively impacted by a third party decision. Just look at the chip shortage impacting car productions.

Are you expecting a predictable formula for starting a successful business?

Then maybe you shouldn't do a startup? Not everyone can and should do a startup, lack of a good idea is probably a good reason.

Depends on the relationship I think and how the feedback is delivered as well as the topic. If I just give you unsolicited feedback about a topic that I have nothing to do with, then yea that can be weird. But presumably most feedback would

That doesn't sound very good in real life scenarios either. I can provide feedback without necessarily knowing how to fix it. For example, if someone I work with consistently have a hard time communicating their ideas, I can and should

How do you gauge track record? Just take the candidate's word for it or do you assess for yourself some how?

“ In contrast, in the professional world, what you are going to do is dictated by your manager down to the last line of code. The feature and testing requirements would be specific enough to get rid of all creative freedom” The post lost me

The problem is value and productivity in software (or any creative space) is hard to quantify in general. How much better is the best engineer you’ve worked with compared to the worst? 2x? 1.5x? How do you quantify that? But you know one is

How does the invention happen if not through day to day productivity?

But conversely, most people will never produce a masterpiece regardless of how long they spend at it.

The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive. You need talent and hard work to be “the best” in any given field. It doesn’t matter how hard I practice, I’m not going to be a world class sprinter or a world famous singer, my body isn’t built for it. For

Was overwork / fatigue what caused the incidents OP listed?

I think it's the latter. I've tried a few times with a breathalyzer (that I got off of amazon for pretty cheap, so no guarantee on accuracy. Although it was consistent) while drinking and I was pretty shocked at how drunk I felt w

What specifically is illegal?

by yibg 5y ago
Free in the sense most people use the word free. As in no money required.

From what I’ve seen, it’s similar to most other developing -> more developed countries. Specifically: - people are getting more education. So instead of getting hitched at 18 they are still in school at 22, 23 - more financial burden wit

You are just taking your assumptions and forming opinions based on them.

It’s way easier to cancel Netflix via Netflix than the App Store though.

Facebook treats its employees pretty well too. Not sure if that really means anything in this discussion.

You know, I would like to believe this is the case. That some combination of litagation, legislation etc will bring down FB. But outside of the HN bubble I'm unfortunately doubtful it'll actually happen. My friends and family outs

Anecdotally, FB pays the most of all the typical companies for SWE. Compared to google it's probably a 20 - 30% bump.

People can have nostalgia for stuff they grew up with but when it comes down to it don't actually want to spend the money to buy it now. I reminisce about 90s sports cars that I used to dream about too. But then I think about the lack

You were probably downvoted because the “theory” is just wrong according to every piece of data we have. How did you even come up with this theory? Was it based on some evidence or just something that felt right to you?
