Yeah I used to have a massive spreadsheet tracking the entirety of household finances. I was worried that no one would know where the money was if I suddenly died, so I started a m…

Liking the smell of pine does not mean I want the smell of a pine forest fire in my house all day long. You don't see caffeine addicts rolling up coffee grounds to set fire to it, …

While I agree on the withdrawal symptoms, the main differentiating point for me is that drinking coffee doesn't waste time. Marijuana consumption is one of the most unproductive th…

That depends on the other person's search pattern. I did the same and got O(n^2). :( Now I just use the hotdogs as the meeting point.

The Tesla cars are the only cars I've ever driven that can simultaneously provide one with the very best, and yet absolute dog shit driving experience. It's a weird car that I hone…

This just reads like a basic description of every large organization out there with humans in them.

Okay I'm properly worrying now. I'll throw in a couple more thoughts and prayers to change the mind of Modi while at it.

I'll only actually worry when Thailand bans hom mali rice exports.

Well yes, but whatever milk/water you serve in it right afterwards will still taste and smell of burnt plastic. I take it as something inevitable because no one's going to be givin…

I'd prefer if they kept the y-axis starting at zero for a more realistic representation.

The problem was that they only knew how to code.

What data? I never said anyone can do coding. My spouse sure can't. Code is the easiest part of the job in my company where almost everyone is a genius (sans me). But few enjoy (no…

Clearly I have much more to improve on because you put it way better than I did. My communication skills are terrible.

There's a misunderstanding here due to context. Someone working in a startup (been there) will find it difficult to understand just now much communications are required to get anyt…

Let me explain. Coding is the easiest because it's the most fun I get from my job. I don't have to talk to most people, I can have my alone time just writing code, cleaning it up, …

To be fair, unless you're building some low level infrastructural systems, coding is the easiest part, and code is cheap. Drop any senior dev into coding duty, and their skills ret…

Firstly, fan of your company. Isn't what you described as The Slog essentially just SMEs? That's not so bad. Perpetual meteoric growth for everyone is not healthy on a macro level.…

I remember the good old days of having to script my own deployments on our own on-prem servers, with linter free wild west testing. It went to crap pretty easily because we were al…

You totally underestimate how much baby fever tax first time parents are willing to pay using the logic "once in a lifetime only".

You just reminded me of the time I was explaining how to do consensus failover, and the interviewer asked me to do distributed single thread design. Great use of everyone's time. T…

That's some top tier dad joke.

The ego here is palpable. Asking candidates to trust the first offer from a hiring manager is equally terrible advice. > I realize you don't really care about us vs Adobe, you are …

Yeah without the data being added to a blockchain to automatically sync to my multiple devices, I'mma say no to this.

It looks like a round, wooden board being used as a sliced fruit platter to me.
