With YouTube blocking adblockers, I found myself using YT a lot less. Every time I click on a video, it gets blocked. Then I realize I didn't really care about watching the video. …

Do you have hobbies? Maybe go travel for a year or two.

Yes. It's been draining noticeably faster after last week's update. I can no longer get a full day's use.

I have coded for 10 years now and I feel like I peaked. I can keep on learning, but I feel there isn't really much point since I don't want to be the world's best programmer. I wan…

I have been using LLM lately and I started to realize, I didn't care which LLM I was using. Sometimes, I used ChatGPT, and sometimes, Poe. As long as it gave a decent answer and I …

Usually the team or company itself doesn't have much to do. For my B2B employer, we are always waiting for the client to get back. And this could take months or even years. B2B wor…

Your story sounds just like mine. With all the extra hours I have, I am now thinking of working on a side project to see if it takes off. I am also looking to switch jobs because I…

That's one part. I think another part is that the power dynamics need to change. Managers should be servant leaders. Instead, I see so many managers abuse their power to enrich the…

$4 million feels like chump change. I'd imagine JP Morgan globally earns that amount in less than an hour.

For the last three weeks I have been studying. I am in my final week of studying. Then I will take a few weeks break to do nothing.

Most founders I know are unemployable because their resumes are extraordinary. I am not a successful founder, but more than a few recruiters have mentioned during phone interview t…

If you have to create a charter for your team, what would you put in it? What's your perspective from (e.g. manager/ contributor) and why did you chose to put this in?

Everyone looks like a sophisticated investor during a bull market. Now it looks like the emperor has no clothes. These investors are going to have a hard time justifying their dumb…

We can only control our actions, but what happens around us is outside our control. The best we can do is try to influence it, but even that is limited to those within our immediat…

I did the same thing. Found a boring company literally 3 weeks before layoffs started. I saw it from a mile away. So far my job has been stable, but incredibly boring. I could be e…

Is there a reason why it was low on the list? What qualifiers did you placed more on? Could you explain more about the thought process?

Title inflation is a thing even with ladders. I know of some non-tech industries where there are 15 levels to climb and at level 7 you were considered a director already.
