It's the same insanity that allows industrial fishing fleets to drag kilometers-long nets through the sea scooping up megatons of bycatch -- although, this time we are likely to obliterate seabed ecosystems before anyone even has a chance to see them.
Some brilliant reads on these and surrounding topics:

I've often found fundamentals to be just as important, or more important, than chasing the trends.

Vivaldi also has quite a head start on Arc, AFAIK. It's been almost entirely stable for my daily usage involving hundreds of ever-changing tabs...
Hol' up. They're replicating data across regions -- across /several/ regions -- on top of a service (S3) which already has 99.999999999% data durability in a single region? ...Why?
On the other, I can run you an IRC server for roughly the cost of electricity.
> the lab was the location of one of the nation's largest — and least known — nuclear accidents that occurred 1959 when one of the facility's ten sodium nuclear reactors experienced a partial meltdown, releasing enormous amounts of radiation into the surrounding environment.
Yikes. That's a lot of travel.
"On March 24th, 2022, I was riding my bike near the beach in San Francisco down a slight slope. My hands were on my brakes to make sure the bike was in control. About 150 feet ahead of me, a vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. To avoid oncoming traffic, I veered towards the vehicle's right, which suddenly moved directly in front of me.
At that point, I could not avoid impact and crashed through the vehicle's back window with my bike. As I lay on the road, I saw that the car that hit me did not have a driver."
I do know some engineers who seem to coast or just be unhappy 70% of the time, but the 30% where they show up is insanely valuable. Those people can stay in my org.
What I really hate is the guy doing what the OP is doing while his colleagues are working long days and weekends picking up the slack. That's just being an antisocial leech, and that person is toxic to a team and to morale.

Someone please make a standalone device for all the mental health apps, so I can take it to the park with me and detox :)
I did a course of CBT therapy as part of a university research study comparing the outcomes of CBT with mindfulness meditation for symptoms of social anxiety. It was 6- or 8-weeks long, and each week I went in to have a session with a therapist and do the workbooks etc.
It was a profoundly memorable experience and I did, in fact, face a number of my fears and essentially solve them through in-person 'confrontations' designed to mimic the social anxiety triggers I had. It was fun, too; for example one of the confrontations involved me messily eating a huge fast-food hamburger inside a phone booth with one of the psych lab's grad students. Those poor grad students.
Anyway, looking back on this experience 15 years later what really stands out are two things: those in-person experiential confrontations, and finally the tears I saw in my therapist's eyes during our final session as she congratulated me on my progress.
I really think apps like this can help tremendously for self-motivated "normals" -- and I wonder how voice/video/VR will expand their effectiveness in years to come.
Throughout my career, from the first paid job I was offered to the best and most lucrative unsolicited offers I've received in senior management, it's all come down to personal connections. People that knew me personally and knew a little about my life, or secondary connections -- friends of friends.
Your location shouldn't make much difference these days -- everything is happening online. Ask around about meetups, panels, pair programming, clubhouse rooms, or anything else interactive where you can share a bit of your story.
I'm connected to some highly successful people, and their main secret sauce is connections. It's nothing mysterious, but really just basic human kindness, generosity, and a collaborative spirit goes a long way. I find most people genuinely want to be helpful and especially so for people who have achieved some level of success already. So the other part of the advice is to scan your world for accomplished people, and just tell them your story. (Better yet, ask what their problems are and offer to solve something for them.)
This was a great Ask HN, thanks for taking the chance.
