I find this acceptable if your coworkers are checked out and looking for that next big thing

The biggest barrier is finding customers.

A lot of the friction mentioned in the article revolves around tooling. Anyone with more that a few days in an engineering org will witness this. What is not mentioned is human fri…

> And it's also a bit inconvenient that nobody else at work has such pressing obligations, it makes me feel bad... I hope your peers ambivalence (educated guess here) towards your …

I had a lot of success early on with a community of practice I started inside an engineering org but as time went on it morphed into a something different: A place to assign work o…

While maybe it does sum up our work culture it shouldn't influence how you work. Rarely have I seen someone who "runs faster" be more valued (monetarily or among senior peers) than…

I like this question. Do we then base the penalties purely on pain suffered by the scammed?

Our bias really comes out when we write doesn't it? "I'm super smart and have good posture - hey look at this hunched over Neanderthal! And they're staring at a rock! Idiot" Bias b…

> it needs to measure and optimize for something deeper I thought you were going to call this out. It should read "something more shallow"

Rounded corners really were all the rage for a while and we needed support for it! I remember in the early days cobbling together elements with top-left, top-right, etc image slice…

Why are you assuming that our grandparents are pushing the narrative? Money / greed doesn't care about your age group.

It doesn't just stop at college tho. After college, you can obtain a ruinous loan for just about anything. At least with a ruinous college loan you should be able to "come out ahea…

Interesting. I would have lumped them all together. Why do you trust reviews on Target but not Amazon?

I think as long as you think (know?) this is true the easier it makes dealing with work stress. "It has to get done or else" is so common in my place it falls on deaf ears with mos…

I have a 40 something friend who started working there a few years a go. He has a family. He mostly went for stability, good pay, good benefits, predictable long term outlook. Not …

This is intriguing (and new to me). Can you point me to something you enjoy that I can look at? Not even sure what to search...

Definitely. I bought tick tubes which target the mice. I've had one on me since putting them out in late April. I think they're working but need more time to test.

My experience with ticks: Closer to the home is where you're going to find the small ones. I've had two on me. First one was easy to spot it looked like a freckle on my knee. The s…

I like the git diff --color-words!

> But I don't think the issue was so much a dark ages problem that nobody understood what we were doing This is the answer. Most of us are in the weeds throwing darts.

I understand. Maybe the space will only truly realize its potential after the hype dies down. With coins so volatile probably wont happen anytime soon.

You seem to think digital authenticity is not important. I'm on the fence but I think its too early to conclude. I didn't grow up in a virtual world but maybe to those who did the …

> these people just dont want to see something they missed out on succeed Missed out on what profit? I've just started reading about Ethrereum and its still a baby. No one really k…

Same, but I don't get too much from it. If its not there I really don't care anymore and never ask for it. Whats the point of showcasing your github profile today? Little to no exp…

"stars", at least from my perspective, doesn't map to usage. I've stared plenty of projects I don't use. I like the latter two metrics - thank you for sharing!
