Is it bad that I've always worn a suit and tie to interviews?

Obviously nobody else there was wearing one so I did feel a bit out of place.

This is cool, but what makes it "music for programming?" I'd say music for programming is whatever your favorite music is. Everyone has different tastes.

This is exactly what we do at my current job, and it's infuriating to everyone but the management asking for it.

We have many different apps and we have 3 different versions of the UI right now because we're slowly redoing the frontend for all of them as we roll them out over several years.

What a massive waste of money and time. Some of these apps don't even have enough users to warrant the reskin!

They just hired more people but were severely short staffed during a crunch, so the server team just worked 80+ hour weeks until those new guys came on

Currently in the process of (a) ;)

I'm currently a frontend engineer. I told my team lead a while back that I'd like to transition to the server side, especially since our server team is woefully understaffed and our frontend team is overstaffed.

He told me "Sure but you'll need to learn all that stuff on your own time". So I never did it because I'm interested in doing other things at home.

Have you ever tried applying to remote jobs? You don't necessarily have to move to get paid well!

Sounds like you're ready to be a VC!

Why not just move?

Would it be possible to run this on my own machine? I'd love to set up a Discord bot so my friends and I can play this together

Sounds like you selected the "nightmare" option

"With a powerful narrative, you should be able to go from raw materials to a launch ready vehicle in 60 days."

If this isn't the best sign of the times, idk what is.

Edit: This one killed me

"VC is hard. This is a great fucking deck..."

Just because you can't actually pay it doesn't meant they won't bill you for it. That's just going to generate a debt to Amazon once the money runs out. It won't magically turn off your AWS charges...unfortunately.

You're telling me. I've been into craft beer for around 8 years, a bit after IPAs really took off in the US. I have acid reflux, and nothing triggers it more consistently and quickly than having an IPA. It just tastes like straight up acid to me.

I equate people who like really strong IPAs to people who are into extreme hot sauce just for the sake of injuring themselves with something that's overly hot.

Is there really any flavor to IPAs with IBUs that are through the roof? No, not at all.

I'm glad on the east coast I have a variety of beer to choose from that aren't IPAs

Twitch's chat system is build on top of IRC so technically yes.

That's a last generation processor...their current generation is much more impressive. Twice as powerful than anything Intel has to offer at the SAME price as Intel.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm...is it?

Why are they allowed to still sell these broken products? That's a scam as far as I'm concerned.

Because they're all extremely old. Most of them didn't know what Facebook even was when Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress. Go look it up, it's embarrassing.

I quit my last job because my team was in this room spiral. And management's solution to the problem? Work harder.

As far as I know, everyone else still works there. I bet some of them sleep at their desks trying to keep adding more knots to that awful legacy system.

And it didn't get that way WHILE I was there. That project had been around since 1998. They were so afraid of change that they were still using the C++98 compiler. So I didn't even leave that job with relevant (read modern) C++ knowledge.

Funny thing: The server architect at my current job was one of the founding members on that project. He had the same kind of view towards it. I feel like that project has been in a doom spiral from the beginning. So 21 years at this point.

It blows my mind that there are these legacy code sweat shops out there barely holding software together like this. What a miserable existence.

Not GP but I believe it was supposed to be "And I'd like to see some evidence from those sorts of people about how great minimalism is at what it does"

Sure but HOW does it make money?

Can someone here explain this in an easier to understand way? This was a bit too dense for my understanding...

Absolutely agree. I hate this trend of measuring success by comparing small products to massive bloated giants of tech. You don't have to get to that level to be a success, and you're honestly probably better off if you don't.

Big social media companies are now seen as responsible for the destruction and compromise of democracy and have many more problems which wouldn't exist if they weren't so universally adopted.

I hope the future is full of many smaller niche social media sites that cater to a smaller group instead of trying to appeal to everyone.

Anyone know where I can buy one?

I've had tinnitus for as long as I remember, and it impacts my enjoyment of music and sometimes my ability to fall asleep.

How do you know of your credentials are compromised?

I've honestly thought I was crazy for thinking that required tests are ridiculous. Thank you for confirming that I'm right in my beliefs.

At least 50% of my last job was writing tests, and the snail's pace of their dev process was the main reason I left.

A country the size of all of Europe is not representative of the vehicle market? Not sure I buy that.

Fantastic summary,thank you for this. You should really put this and similar stuff in a blog. Would love to learn more about this side of physics.

You are reading a news site run by a Venture Capital company. I feel like you should know what VC means.
