I have a very similar experience. However I gently disagree with the language of introversion getting "worse". To me it's not a negative at all. In lockdowns in 2020 as an extreme …

I often see signs instructing to tune to whatever AM for weather info, so I don't think it's that far fetched. Kids learning to read ask questions about stuff they see. And FWIW, I…

Yet again the importance of a social safety net is underlined. In the US many people send their visibly sick kids to school because they need to go to work and don't have the time …

I've worked with a couple of folks that have said this exact thing, yes. One was a lab tech and I'm pretty sure she was less-than-breaking-even with putting her two kids in daycare…

I know you're being rhetorical, but often, just trying to avoid a gap in your resume. It sucks but there can be a greater long-term cost to trying to reenter the workforce after ta…

Like he acknowledged the rail workers?

Probably because there is no shortage of white boxers, and an observation about black people liking a cartoon isn't all that relevant?

Thank you for pointing out that last part. I think folks forget how vital that foot in the door is/was, whether it's the school on your resume or the reference from the internship …

You'd think, right? But "real Americans"! But "coastal elites"!

You're not wrong, but generally speaking, trying to get your employer to make up the difference (as they are legally required to) is a good way to get fired.

No, I think you're spot on. If you can point to the requirements you were given, the technical clarifications you sought, etc. and show how you fulfilled them, then you as a SWE di…

I'm not a parent but that sounds like parenting on hard mode. And I couldn't agree more - because I don't argue over every little thing, I feel like my opinions are more respected …

> [...] the Java solutions could be understood even by dullards like me. This is 100% the type of person that came to mind when I read the OP. I'm sure we're all sick of the term "…

If you're ok with it, could you elaborate? Did you overreach technically, or did things come to a head with your management or teammates?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibitory_traffic_sign A handful of good comparison examples there - notably no pedestrian/no vehicle signs, which use clear imagery in Europe

I was treating the dog as an analogy for us, or maybe for children - in environments that aren't particularly suited for us having good mental health, etc. And the giving the dog a…

So on the level of the dog, everything else being equal, is it better to have the medication or to suffer?

Feels like a serious reach, and trying to shoehorn unrelated issues into a discussion they don't belong. The author goes over her repeated brushes with death - and the warnings she…

The author made decisions to put herself in dangerous situations. What does that have to do with seatbelt laws or food inspection guidelines?

This, and interview practice is a plus too.

Credit score (I kid)

Therapy can literally just be talking through the same kinds of mechanisms as described here (with the plan to apply them to real life). Source: it was for me. How are they going t…

It's the medium, not the genes. Like someone else mentioned, it's called fetal bovine serum (presuming GP meant "cow" and not "mare") and it's used in large quantities.

Maybe something will come up in conversation! In any case having something to look forward to, even as mundane as a coffee date, is a blessing when your daily routine suddenly goes…
