The article doesn't really answer the question other than stating that there's more competition for sandwiches in London. Would've been nice to at least see some data to support th…

The article mentions this in the beginning, what's your point? I love how every time there's talk of povery, some first world beneficiary jumps in to point out how much better poor…

> But for a long time I pretended it was fun. That I loved it. Because there is a lot of social pressure to portray yourself that way in the industry. People hiring you will run th…

If you're going to make such outrageous claims, the least you can do is provide some evidence.

What do people use to read RSS feeds? I stopped following RSS feeds ever since Google Reader shut down, and wondering what a good free replacement is.

The problem with trying to find meaningful work is that 1. the pay is generally terrible, and hours will likely be long 2. if someone is paying you, it's still a "job", with all th…

I don't disagree with you, but when you said "one should find a job they're good at", what you really saying is "find a job that pays a lot that you can also do well". I don't thin…

> "If you think paying $1 for every $8 in funding for housing is too much, just move to a different city?" What a useless, unconstructive comment. It's sad that when anyone wants t…

> Congressmen are "experts at politics": the ability to make a decision WITHOUT being an expert in a subject. Congressmen are experts at getting people to vote for them. The proble…

Luddite. Electronic voting is inevitable, and far superior if done in a transparent untamperable way (eg. utilizing a publicly verifiable blockchain). I don't know why you guys hav…

How anyone can do productive work developing software in an open office is beyond me

Well yea, that's why I eventually quit both jobs.

This has basically been the story of every job I've had, except instead of being 100% remote I was wfh once or twice per week. I'd join a company under the condition that they allo…

Try working outside of your home, perhaps in a co-working space or coffee shop.

How is staring at a computer for 8 hours in an office any different from staring at a computer for 8 hours in a co-working space or coffee shop? I prefer the freedom to choose wher…

Possible solutions: * Rent a co-working space * Work out of coffee shops * Make an effort to have a social life outside of your job.

Loved this article. Entertaining and informative (as someone not very informed on WeWork). > Ms. Neumann created controversy when she went on CNBC and said: “A big part of being a …

Blows my mind that non-compete clauses in these trivial instances are legal and actually enforced. Let's not forget that humans created these laws, and humans can change them.

This is the best explanation. As much as managers pretend like lead/senior engineers are on the same rung of the hierarchy, they're not. Engineers are seen as "resources", a cost c…

Was going to mention this as well. Vice deliberately misrepresenting the point of his memo and explicitly mentioning that it's "unscientific". Well no sh , it's a memo. I wonder if…

You like being micromanaged and told what time you need to be in and out of the office everyday?

How is this even legal? Is there a movement to ban stacking ranking? If we don't voice our concerns as employees, then nobody will. Also the fact that "meets expectations" is conce…
