I wouldn't tell them the story about having fired someone. You can simply state your no moonlight policy and be done with it. There is a credibility problem. They're hearing the story from the person that was involved and only tha

Ok, that's nice. I'm sure some people do it carelessly but lets at least be honest and acknowledge that many also do it deliberately. It's an easy and cowardly way to assert your dominance. If you get called out on it, and yo

I've worked in and around government for some time and the reputation for being slow and bureaucratic is well deserved but my observation is that it's a trade off. You can have government services that are fast or corrupt. Make yo

Because your premise is wrong. Software engineering isn't really in demand. It's a very dysfunctional system. I'm not even sure how you'd define "in demand".

I don’t think it’s imposter syndrome that’s the problem. It’s mutual dishonesty. When an employer asks for 10 years experience with a technology that has only existed for 5, they’re being dishonest. ( no I don’t think it’s a simple mistake)

I use dual monitors but in a stacked setup. I’ve found that you have to be very precise in the positioning which is why I have them on articulating arms. I also have them arranged so that one is placed directly in front and the other is til

Stop thinking there's anything wrong with not being the best at anything. I'm glad there are people in the world who are really good at certain things. They entertain me, they invent cool stuff but there's nothing wrong with

Robert Hanssen was a government employee after all. It's incredibly naive to think that your employer makes any difference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen

So says the guy with a gigantic stake in cryptocurrencies. Screw him for making my choice of technology a political statement or making technology simply an extension of a political view. I think this says more about Andreessen than it does

Quitting has its place and what I would avoid is absolutist thinking. You don't need to finish everything that you start. Sometimes you don't even want that as a goal like when exploring or developing prototypes. The only reason t

Really? I created two GI's and it wasn't very hard and was actually quite fun. Training them is a bit of a pain though. I'm willing to bet that based on total calories consumed they are amazingly efficient compared to their h

The thing that most people get wrong is the direction of causality and that when you're not depressed your mind fools you into thinking you have more free will than you really have. What allows you to say to yourself "I will solve

Because NFT's have nothing to do with collecting digital trinkets and everything to do with money laundering. The only thing that is remarkable about NFT's is how absolutely brazen they're being about it. The only positive is

I get the sentiment and it’s appealing to just pick something and go with it. I work with people that constantly churn on frameworks. They pick one and the first semi-difficult roadblock and they’re changing things up. To balence that out t

That depends. If we manage to move on to a next generation aircraft without getting into a conflict where it's needed then it can be seen as a success. You were able to do a massive amount of R&D and push the state of the art witho

There's nothing wrong with what Neo4J is doing here and they aren't fighting the GPL/AGPL. ONgDB forked it, with was fine, but they just couldn't resist trying to give the finger to Neo4J when they did it. In doing that

You have a very charitable view of Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX. There's nothing private industry can't do better than the government...........right after the government bears the burden of years of basic research.

Everyone keeps saying, "There are so many good things about WFH". Ya, good for you. People who make these decisions don't care what's good for you. "But I'm more productive when I'm happy" you say. Th

Once you get past the David vs Goliath ethos, we are left with "I had invested millions of dollars, without even realizing it" and "my CFO was freaking out" was a big part of the problem. What was omitted was, "and

There's also the huge downside of adding another complex system to your car. It's going to cost a small fortune to replace this when it breaks. People act as though solar panels grow on trees. There's an environmental cost to

This is nothing but an attack on general purpose computing. So now if some company doesn’t like what you’re doing with their hardware they’re going to knee cap you? You might think it’s ok now because you don’t like the environmental effect
