You’ll probably “love doing” anything where you have autonomy, mastery, and purpose. I love problem solving and mentoring people. I would be happy doing this in any context. My career is in software development but if I worked at a bakery,

Also pro tip: Find a partner who’s an extrovert and has natural social abilities. It’s made things a lot easier and pushed me out of my comfort zone socially in ways that made my life a lot better and more interesting. Reading through the o

The book/audiobook “How to win friends and influence people” while it has a title I don’t like is actually a guide for solving your exact issue and is especially useful for people that tend to gravitate to tech. I’m self taught and spe

I really appreciate this. I just started an 8 week sabbatical after 16ish years in startups. Also self-taught I’ve had a copy of SICP on my shelf that I’ve been meaning to get to. With a parent who has a PhD in RF engineering I’ve always wo

My next car will be a PHEV. Most my city driving is within the electric only range, so I basically never need to fill it up, but with a full charge and tank of gas it’s over 1,000km of range. While I’ll be able to charge it at grocery store

They destroyed the equipment. Harder for a smaller group to rebuild when all their offices are destroyed than a big international news network losing one office. edit: I can’t reply to your reply due to hackernews limitation, but I’d imagin

Both sides of the github issue discussion are incredibly fragile, defensive, and sensitive. The conversation should have been: A: “Hey this green is legit yellow, this is very confusing for new users. I’m not sure if this is a bug because i

If they just renamed it to “eventual full self drive” then all the people who refuse to read the fine print or just aren’t getting the nuance of it would be on the same page with the people that do. I agree the responsibility for clarity is

blogger discovers most people don’t have the same preferences that they do. Is shocked and confused by this. Writes a post about it. Why is this on the front page?

Your app actually solves exactly the right problem for me and it looks and acts exactly how I’d want it to. I think you really nailed it and your mention of unifying slack and github comments sounds very appealing. $10/month is priced

The trick here is to break it into the smallest possible pieces and just start doing the first piece as your only task for today. Most likely that will build momentum. Can also try accomplishing a small not-work task like laundry or somethi

I’ve been there before. Would recommend starting a document and answering the questions there then linking people to the doc after you’d added their question/answer. The habit of check the docs first and maintaining docs in this way is

While off topic I’d echo this for managing coders as well. A lot of the problem set is debugging people and teams. For example “why is x person performing differently” and the debugger are time boxed to 1:1s, sprint cadence meetings, and lo

It’s also 2/3 of the senate that’s “present”. So if 25 republican senators boycott and don’t show up to the vote they can convict along party lines... or if 17 vote to convict, or some sliding scale between those two options

Ya but they deleted that trend and those tweets and users violated the guidelines and were warned, suspended, etc. Parler refused to do anything about it and built their whole business on being a safe space for people wanting to incite and

The key thing here is that Parler _refused_ to do this. Had Parler done this these companies wouldn’t have distanced themselves from them. But also their whole brand is enabling those accounts so had they blocked those accounts they wouldn’

If a person has a blog and someone comments on a blog post the author’s address and encourages other readers to attack them, is your position that there needs to be due process for the author to remove the comment? That’s not how freedom of

Because Twitter/Facebook is private property and has no obligation to provide a platform for someone to overthrow democracy and incite more violence.

When the elected leader of a country can so easily try to overthrow that very same democracy with a violent insurrection the least of the consequences they should face is not being able to incite more violence on someone else’s private prop
