Anybody want a new Internet yet?

With such a stark barrier to entry, why would I spend much time on there? Also, at the beginning of my career I got much more value from "explaining articles", and much less from u…

Ask people about 2016 if you haven't already been told. That Amite River isn't one to be ignored, nor the Comite.

In my experience, offices have simply been judgemental, time wasting, lacking in proper equipment/tooling, and quite frankly just uncomfortable. Granted, it's been a lot of mid-siz…

Yep, gotta agree. I picked up and moved 500 miles because of money. Sure, ATX is a tech hub and all that jazz. I moved from a place where top-end after 10 years was $80k-100k/yr, a…

I voted company culture, but that's not the whole picture. I was laid off about a month ago (2 weeks before Christmas; "non-performance business-related decision"), but I was job s…

> 90F to 28F within 24 hours After slowly becoming bored with the weather in Austin (initially, I couldn't believe it)...this type of change sounds refreshing.

I like this one. Reminds me of how I felt moving into software engineering growing up in south Louisiana. I only moved to ATX, and yet others' bewilderment is my amusement.

Right to jail...

I'm just a country-bumkin managing to build and secure software, but uh...someone wants to push me around without having the money to do so? Let 'em, my kind are stubborn anyway. T…

Physics is the language that never ceases to blow my mind.

Thank you for this. What I left out of my question is my desire and admiration for automotive sports. It's so strange to me that I have no problem admiring to one day build a track…

I'm asking because you seem to speak with experience... Why do we make video games? I've been programming for 10 years, I love games; wanted to make them. But I went into infosec b…

While I'm sure it's a fine app, this oddly looks like a graduation of using Thunderbird in ~2006 as a multi-email client.

What's the difference? And why does executing commands (even if you're actively developing the code they execute) in a terminal need a new name? Isn't this just... using a computer…

How long until someone takes them down for Twitter?

The type of corporate-heavy experience the author described is less "directionless" and more draconian. It's just flat boring and borderline useless. You sit through it because you…

Is the author not a team player or tired of the BS? Would you be willing to have a conversation with a team member like this? If I witnessed your type of response (seemingly defens…

"Anonymous" is a bit much to ask for this, yes. I'm really just asking for the company to--for once--lower its defenses so we can have a conversation. Air the frustrations without …

I really wish companies would start asking for anonymous, unbiased reviews of this process. I've had a few companies come close, but they made it clear the answers were (or seemed …

I'll be opting for a Darter Pro from System76 later in the year. Like others have stated, going with FOSS hardware/software isn't cheap, but it looks to be the best compromise for …

> Carta is a fun company because the more problems we solve, the more problems we get to solve. So, you're like every other company? I used to work as a Soft. Eng. for a particular…

> What's the alternative here? Not a popular one, but another alternative is to fundamentally change the service. But that involves possibly losing YouTube. Assuming Alphabet/Googl…

I'll just say it. Google you are being run by fools. Godspeed.
