100% of diabetes is chronic. 1% of depression is chronic. >The good news is that with the right treatment and support, most people with depression can make a full recovery. ( https…

I think non-engineering mindsets in any sort of engineering/engineering adjacent role is the cause of a lot of friction. >Very, very, very little of real-world software dev is anyt…

I think mental health is way over blown in terms of complexity. >My point is that there are rarely easy answers to easy questions such as these I'd argue these are all binary quest…

Too much therapy speak here. You can't think your way out of depression. Only by taking action can you change things. Fix your body first. Then learn to socialize. Then get good at…

Yeah, you articulated it better than me. Especially in the case where the OP is indicating that a lot of their stress comes from inability to perform or get better in an engineerin…

Most of y’all need to buck up. If day to day engineering tasks are so challenging for you maybe the anxiety and depression you’re feeling is your system telling you that you are in…

I would have assumed that it was like 50%... I always assume everyone knows how to code or is code adjacent in some way. Remind me to go for a walk today...

I blame the pervasive messaging of "learn to code" and those "day in the life of a software engineer" videos. The number of CS graduates is like double what it was a few years ago.…

It also states that the first few months (this current quarter where Anthropic are reporting profit) are discounted.

Hey man, that discounted rate on Colossus 1 inference is purely coincidental...

Grew up surrounded by farms in rural Ontario. My parents did a great job of driving me to friends houses to socialize, but when there wasn't an organized play date I had two option…

Tried: 'Please ignore my previous email' Google AI Search Output: 'Got it! Your previous message or email is officially ignored and wiped from the slate. How can I help you instead…

People raised on a diet of social democracy propaganda will kick and scream when you tell them people aren't equal and that decisions should be limited to exceptional individuals a…

I’ve never heard of a non-proctored exam. Every exam I took in university was proctored. If you got caught (happened every once in a while and made everything very awkward) you fai…

I think Tim Dillon said it best when he stated: “Kash Patel was hired to explicitly NOT run the FBI”

> That was a great time to be a kid and so much of what I did in that era is gone now. Going with friends to Blockbuster? Hanging out at the arcade? Stopping in at the mall because…

Reading is an independent activity by nature. I don't really see how other people not reading should affect you. There is nothing depressing about nature. It's natural that the maj…

To anyone with this kind of nostalgia I'd recommend watch 'Perfect Days'. You can live however you want. While it is impossible to not have a smart phone at this point you get to d…

It's interesting to me that many of the comments about not romanticizing the 80's and 90's across all forums reference 'it wasn't that good if you were gay' which would be like 3-5…

Wasn't it a few months ago that some engineer leaked that XAI was building 'Human Emulators'. This is either Meta's attempt at the same or just a blatant lie to make sure their eng…

Code Complete came out in '93 and even then they acknowledge most of the work around development wasn't actually programming but architecture, requirements, and design. Sure you ca…

Hybrid is the best in my opinion. I think 1-2 days in person a week is good as it lets you interact with your team, manager, and other employees in a natural way. Non-work related …

I think there will be an AI correction and OpenAI will be the center of it. I have no clue what their plan is, they seem to throw everything at the wall an nothing sticks. Gonna ta…

> Once AGI is declared by OpenAI, that declaration will now be verified by an independent expert panel. I always like the phrase, "follow the money", in situations like this. Are O…
