The 'you are doing it wrong' argument cuts both ways. Having an office does not magically make you more productive. You also need to cultivate an adequate environment to allow make…

I suppose I can only speak from my experience. I can see definitely how many corp onsite environments are awful. There are productivity killers both onsite and remote and there are…

I'm not sure I follow. Endless meaningless meetings is an orthogonal problem. Regardless of remote vs on-site, I try to avoid meetings without a clear agenda, purpose and inviting …

Yes I did not parse that correctly. Thanks.

Yeah I get this, I'm a paying customer. Not overly worried, as long as I can export and move on to another service. I used to be a LastPass user until 2yrs ago. I was replying to t…

Make the ids free? I've been out of Mexico for >10yrs but when I became 18 I easily got my voting id in Mexico, free of charge.

Same here, all relevant results.

I truly do not understand this attitude and I can only guess comes from repeated exposure to an unfriendly environment. We're not talking here about exposing your soul to the world…

You can always explain in a few words why, even without stating your actual underlying reasons. The clerk doesn't need all the details. This person clearly struggled more than he h…

They’re storytelling.

That's a good point. However, it's arguably only hard to use to do modern software development which is a complex use case for a low level language. At least in all my time doing C…

> The fact that select doesn't work on more than 1024 fds is terrible. Pedantic clarification, but it's worse than that. It doesn't work on any fd with a value higher than FD_SETSI…

I agree. I think you made the right call. We live in Canada (Ontario). We wanted to move to SF to be closer to family (Mexico) but in the end, even with a FAANG job offer, it was t…

As an immigrant in another country (thankfully more immigration-friendly), I completely understand the frustration. I think however we must see beyond the incompetence of some fron…
