    Ask HN: How long has it taken for job markets to recover after stock markets do?

    In previous tech boom/bust cycles how long has it taken between the two? Seems we must be getting close to the job market catching up. Next thing that needs to happen I imagine is …

    This seems to have gotten much worse in recent weeks and I don’t understand why. On a wide array of subs, spanning many topics. Moderators seem to be very quick suddenly to quash d…

    I my experience, you aren't actually doing nothing and having nothing asked of you. You are more likely tasked with things that require spinning your wheels. Boring, pointless, and…

    Ask HN: When will anticipated economic growth lead to life in tech improving?

    There seem to be two recurring themes in business news headlines in America: 1. Markets are going up because investors anticipate growth ahead in 2024. 2. Tech companies are laying…

    Not really sure, which is why I left it intentionally ambiguous. Clearly, "tech" roles on the front lines of medicine such as a CT Scan operator are going to suffer from the same s…

    Ask HN: Is doing tech-related work in the American medical field horrible?

    Everyone I know who works in American medicine says how much they hate it. Be them a doctor, nurse, receptionist, etc., etc. Everyone seems to complain they are overworked to the m…

    I grew up with ZackFreedman. We were good friends as kids for a year or two, but then lost touch. Remember hearing vaguely that he had gotten into stuff like this a couple years ba…

    I like the idea of replacing the time I spend on Reddit with blogs that provide new insights. One big place I’ve found Reddit helpful in recent years is a niche community about a c…

    Thanks for sharing. Makes sense and I can relate to many of the things you say about Reddit (too bad it’s so hard to do things in moderation these days).

    Why do you think spending time on HN is better than Reddit? Serious question, because I’m not sure I understand. Hope it doesn’t come off as antagonistic. I too wonder if the negat…

    Just want to point out that this post is by a company that works in the “AI” space. Not saying that it’s wrong or right, but it would be like asking someone in a cult to tell you i…

    Every moment in your life is an ultimatum because you can not do two things at once. So while I like the concept of this advice, its hard to execute in practice. I'd adjust it to "…

    Ask HN: Did you work with Doug Burgum in the tech world?

    What was Doug Burgum like during his time in tech? Some of the things he says about how to run a tech startup baffle me. Like, I just heard him say a CEO should never spend time de…
