Really seems like I should be better at golf, then. :tear

Is this (wage stagnation) true for tech? It seems a special case. I wonder what the exec-pay/wage/productivity growth charts look like if we exclude tech. (Less disparity? More? Le…

Offering 4-day weeks: Do you see this often? Just curious -- I feel like it's rare, so my guess would be the opposite. (I do know several people that work 4 10hr days as machinists…

Woof, timely. I'm doing all of these bad-initial-traction-methods on my side project right now, and feeling quite burnt out, thinking about moving on to the next thing. Perhaps esp…

Does this work best if your work is well-planned by someone else? E.g., you have a list of prioritized tickets with requirements complete, and can just code down the list? I work 3…

Lovely writing! In May, myself, my wife, our two kids (8, 6), are amtraking from Chicago to San Francisco in a family sleeper. I'm excited. We've enjoyed our (much shorter) amtrak …

Hmm, I think I'm reading this differently. There are fun and less-fun parts of programming -- building a new feature? Fun. Analyzing requirements, or doing code review, or spelunki…

Yep, this resonates a lot. Not fun. I think it's something in those steps, starting with "What to do next", that leads down that rabbit hole. Maybe try working backwards -- "what d…

Thanks very much! I'll definitely move this up. I've spent a lot of time rewriting/moving/mangling copy in the past few weeks -- reasonably sure I've made it worse. ;)

Yeah, agree there's a perspective shift there. I also find that typing doesn't work as well as hand-writing for me. I think my brain is in a different mode (publish), so it's judgi…

Thanks! I appreciate the comment, and the good wishes :).

Very valid, thanks ;). I just added links, should be updated momentarily.

Hi all, founder here -- does this problem resonate with anyone else? I feel like I've been on a lot of projects that kinda blew up (in a bad way) at the end, and the PMs seemed sur…

Frames per second.

True, and good points! Lambda itself may be fine, I can't judge it specifically (and appreciate Austen engaging :)). That said, I agree that if they come in with "enough experience…

Isn't the incentive here to choose the most buzzwordy and low-barrier-to-entry technologies, and spend just enough time/effort to get the students through an interview so the bootc…

We sometimes hire mid/jr-level FE developers, which means we get _lots_ of bootcamp applicants. It feels like the main goal of the bootcamp is to produce portfolios/resumes that ma…

Out of curiosity, if it wasn't the environmental or family differences, and if the cops aren't preventing crime in the higher-income neighborhoods, what do you think caused the fir…

:raises hand: I use it! If you have no problem with focus, perhaps you don't need it. I've found it useful at my work (consulting/team lead) where I'm expected to be somewhat respo…

Contrariwise, I just read and loved Deep Work: it's made me more purposeful about directing my attention, and aware of how my environment and lower desires work against this focus.…
