Yeah that’s a correct point, bad mental arithmetic there. There are a few other unrealistic things too, but they fall in the other direction. Like I think it’s almost impossible to…

Super normal. Let’s say at the simplest, you take 30 mins to get ready to leave from waking up, 30 mins from front door to sitting at your desk, 30 mins to get to bed and sleep tha…

To me a direct HR person is much less trustworthy than a manager with whom you’ve established a good track record. The manager’s behavior is incentivized completely differently dep…

I’m careful like this to a point, but you can establish trust with managers. Most decent cultures don’t favor hoarding good employees how you’ve described. > It's ridiculous to thi…

You’ve only wasted the 4 hours if you didn’t spend them doing something else. At 50/50 it’s an ok bet if the debugging time is much less than the total human time, even if the loop…

I legitimately thought to myself “that sounds like something Jason Isbell would pull”, lol.

Do you know about assistiv labs? Doesn’t hit everything but it can run real device screen reader automated tests

Wouldn’t that run afoul of other rules like keeping visual order and tab order the same? Screen reader users are used to skip links & other standard navigation techniques.

But surely it’s debatable whether increased short term revenue benefiting shareholders this year is better or worse than longer term plays with the chance of higher returns later, …

> I agree, can these scientists seriously go and do some real work? This can be said about a lot of individual studies, but it leads to missing the wood for the trees. We need seem…

All depends on the person, their goals, their expectations, the experiences they want to have. Agree we should not deceive anybody that doing this would make them rich or have a su…

That’s clearly not the suggestion of the post. It only mentions college students. There is no child abuse.

Senior year of college, aren’t we talking 21/22 year olds?

The first sentences are this way as well: - positive affirmation - thing is not just one thing - thing is something else Things don’t feel like how anybody would speak. Looking at …

Out of curiosity what’s wrong with talking about “the business”? I hear it plenty but I have totally neutral feelings about it.

I’m baffled by this because I think it’s funny - it’s why did the chicken cross the road, but with added absurdity. To me I’d be like “wow that 4 year old put a twist on the old ch…

Yes the reverse makes much more sense to me. AI help to spec out the software & then the code has an accepted definition of correctness. People focus on this way less than they sho…

> In the US giving any form of peanuts to babies is attempted murder, in Israel peanut puffs (Bamba) are among the first foods offered. This is not the case, peanut puffs are a com…

Analysis in the last 5-10 years has shown the Dunning-Kruger effect may not really exist. So it’s a poor basis on which to be judgmental and condescending.

Hi! Your license link is a 404, just FYI

This is the common wisdom about frameworks but I think it ignores the wastage & other side effects around frameworks and the things they make easy or difficult. Many of the decisio…

The idea that politics shouldn’t be in a place for “tech stuff” is like saying water should not be discussed in a place for “fish stuff”. Politics is already in tech and has large …

They might not. That’s why they’d describe it as “an extrovert’s world”.

So many assumptions here. As a candidate, I’ve had situations where I got two offers at the same time. BOTH offers were acceptable, both good companies, and I’m confident I would h…
