> Is there no way to treat working for big tech as a business transaction and compartmentalize the negatives? Maybe you can, but I can't. It's so exhausting when it's an everyday t…

Not worth it. I value my mental health too much.

I'm tired of everything being political. I'm tired of constant political emails. I'm tired of putting my pronouns everywhere. I'm tired of diversity training. I'm tired of being os…

I got my start in programming in the early 2000s with Perl and, shortly after, PHP. I went through school mainly with C++ and Java and got a job as a .NET developer after. I say al…

Cool project but no real world use case.

Which Twitter needs because they're chat absolutely blows.

Could have just connected your phone to data and tried it out.

I moved from back to front and I can confidently say for me the backend is much easier. But it probably has something to do with doing it so long. I imagine given time I'd decide t…

Not to mention the absolutely ridiculous amount of grilling over leadership principles.

> Some competitors seem to be doing well, so I guess there's a demand. Sounds like a really thought out business plan.

Guess they're gonna be heading back to the office soon.
