Serious question, what's wrong with deploying 100 times per day? I'll take that over one monstrous semi-weekly deploy.

#82> Fuck reading a book a week. No one can read that fast.
Now the rest of the complaints are... well at least reasonable to rant about (well, the technical ones are kinda crap, but culture ones are apt).
But this? This is just silly.
Reading a single book shouldn't take someone a week. A good sized book can be read in weekend afternoon if you're really into it. But 3 days of occasional reading should get most writing that isn't incredibly dry polished off.
All that complaint is is the author saying "I don't want to, and I won't make the time to."

I was hearing Ed Norton say "fuck you!" as I read this.

#84> Fuck your eating disorders, why the fuck does everything has to be so extreme with you? On one end of the scale you’ve got the pizza-guzzling, office-snack hoarding monster, and on the other end you have the ‘I-must-optimize-every-living-second’ douche that only drinks fucking Soylent. Seriously, what the fuck? And from me: also fuck your third extreme, of eating fucking hipster fruit salads all day every day, beca…
> I can eat healthy at home; I come to industry events for the fucking pizza. Really? In most realms outside IT, that's the food you buy when you consider the people eating it not worthy of actual catering. I can understand wanting pizza if the alternative is salad and water, but still.
...And where do you live? If you live in a town with good pizza (New York, New Haven, Chicago, etc.), trust me, pizza shows up at events.

#85> you’re not going to get to space :(
Really? but...
I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPAACE!
Cookie for anybody who gets that semi-obscure reference.

You probably aren't making 10x what a miner makes. Mine foremen make around 95K[1]. A regular miner makes somewhere in the range of 40k-55k. Do you make 400k as a software developer? I'm making a broader point here, in that you aren't as seperated from blue collar workers in terms of your economic interests as you may think.

Yeah, but you get to make it without hugely-out-of-your-control health complications. Developers can get fat eating a lot of pizza, but they can run it off. Harder for a miner to avoid all the hazards with the job. As much as I hate the open workspace, I also would prefer being at a computer than doing manual labor in a claustrophobic mine.
Yeah, of course. I meant you income -> social position relative to the people who own the capital. There are interesting parallels. Mining companies operate on leased land with leased equipment backed by institutional investors... they keep it lean. The contemporary mine operator isn't totally dissimilar to the CEO/founder of a largish startup in how they approach their business. Yeah, of course writing code won't give you black lung, but you're still working for the man. The coal mine machine operator is a lot more like me than I am like Jack Dorsey.

Huh. Didn't realize this.
Why else would people walk into the black ground full of choking gas?
Re: Fuck You Startup World
#88awesome. so awesome. (actually I did have to shift bits once in a C program..I did some AND'ing and OR'ing. I felt like a man.)
You should look into getting an embedded systems job, those programs are full of shift / AND / OR / bit twiddle galore. You'll feel awesome for awhile, but trust me, all that low level bit stuff is sometimes a huge pain.
Now UI stuff, that's where the real fun is!! ;-)
Re: Fuck You Startup World
#89The only takeaway for me is the wondering whether or not the author really thinks you can't read a book a week. I mean, yeah, you have to make time to read the books, but an average length book takes something like 6-8 hours to read, so if you allocate an hour a day (which I maintain is worth doing), you're generally going to be able to comfortably knock out a book a week. Sure, you're not churning through War & Peac…

His point is that reading is about the journey not the destination. Better to read less books but savour and enjoy them (or if non-fiction is your thing take the time to learn the materials properly) then finish them to say you finished them.
People say that, but the destination is important.
