   I hate this name. Don't know how to pronounce it, but every way sounds bad.

   Don't know if UX is as big of a problem as you think. My understanding is that the problem with self hosting is reliability and spam prevention. For reliability, self hosting a server that will always be available is hard. Not getting

   The career advice in this is extremely questionable, and the motivational part is all spooks. There are a ton of reasons to quit your job, but don't do it based on this author's advice.

   Never said it made it better. Expertise is also having a deep understanding of a topic and being able to apply it. And you actually need to apply the feedback, not just passively absorb it. "Good enough" isn't "ideal&quo

   One thing I don't see mentioned is taking pride in your work. I see my work as an extension of myself, and I want it to be as good as possible. I could hustle and shit out a bunch of hack jobs that are "good enough", but I ca

   I'm alone this year, so I'm going to wander around the city in the evening looking for something interesting, maybe sit in a bar for the ball drop. Let me know if you have any tips for finding stuff.

   I don't have any stats, but anecdotally I went to a mediocre state school and ended up at FAANG. I have also never heard of discrimination based on school, as long as it's a real degree from a real school. This sounds so bizarre t

   Ah gotcha. That info is in the repo, just didn't get through my head the first time. Didn't know tab completion could be used like that.

    This is really sad. I don't follow politics, but I didn't think this level of blatant corruption really existed in the US.

    Those aren't exceptions, those are the norm. Yeah Go has really slick libraries to support your favorite protocol, but that's the easy part of programming. If I want to hack together something using computer vision, do some amatur

    People joke that Python programming is 'pip install solution', but it's honestly not too far from the truth. Until Go, Rust, or whatever fancy new language can match the wealth of well maintained libraries that Python has, I

    I found the section on "Poor self-directed education" to be interesting. I've had similar feelings as a full stack developer, where in many ways I'm just learning APIs and other narrowly useful trivia. The only things I&
