The problem often is needing to fight with less technical higher-ups for adequate time and resources for tooling/testing/infrastructure work.

As someone who's family is from a former Socialist/Soviet Bloc country, I have to note that "one failure" is a bit of an understatement...

"Feeling tired" is a bit subjective. There are numerous studies indicating that caffeine enhances cognitive function, improves test scores, reaction times, etc. Personally, yes, I …

YES to whether it's relevant. Regardless of opinions about PHP as a language, it's way too widely utilized to be irrelevant in the near future. Whether it's worth investing time to…

An adolescent isn't a fully developed human being, aka an adult. That's medically verifiable.

By “Tesla Doubters” do you only mean people who don’t believe it’s a viable auto manufacturer? It seems pretty clear that it’s a viable auto manufacturer -- as in it manufactures a…

Really? I don't know that the story is especially important, but it seems like plenty of other tech-related stories which are equally or more political or business focused, don't g…

I assume "Show HN" items aren't necessarily news, but just someone showing the community something new that may be of interest. There already appears to be too much flagging around…

1) Propose your ideas in an email, preferable with someone else cc’d on it. 2) Propose your ideas to several people on your team at once. 3) Find someone more trustworthy if you ne…

This isn't about American vs. non-American workers. It can be hard/impossible for most humans to do quality mental work for extended stretches of time.

For a long time, I felt that Firefox was just less nice to work with than Chrome and couldn't quite make the switch. However, Firefox developer addition feels pretty "Chrome-like" …

Managers who call meetings for the sake of meetings.

That's cowgirl to you. So, if we prioritize, say, addiction treatment, more people will want to be addicts. Right.

I mostly agree. But, surely, you'd agree that personal experience, especially extensive personal experience, might give one an inkling about whether a particular statistic is accur…

We’re not talking about “getting in people faces”, we’re talking about a situation that is extremely unsafe, for everyone , homeless and non-homeless alike. If you’re suggesting mo…

Why are you assuming I'm a bro just cause I'm on hacker news? 1950s are calling you. Get back to me when you have something logical to say, not just ad hominems...

I don't disagree, but in Seattle, the streets are a huge problem.

To be clear, I have volunteered with a number of organizations that help the homeless in Seattle. I don't know where you're getting 25-30% from, but that doesn't match with my expe…

Agreed, there are many problems worth solving in Seattle, but some are more clearly urgent public health problems than others.

I agree that both are problems worth solving, but one is pretty obviously a more urgent public health problem, and unfortunately, the more difficult one to solve. When people are t…

I'm not against programs to help people who can't afford normal housing. However, that's not the specific, hugely obvious problem in Seattle.

Before you downvote me, please, go hang out in Pioneer Square in the middle of the day.

This isn’t popular, but I’d challenge anyone who thinks homelessness in Seattle isn’t primarily an addiction and mental illness problem to go spend a few afternoons in areas with s…

This is just a PR move and isn’t going to help Seattle’s homeless problem at all.
