fouralarmfire··on Ask HN: Options for back end engineer sick of oncall
> Most probably you deeply don’t care about the company’s mission in general.

Nope. Of course I don't. It's just a job. I am paid to deliver value during a pre-agreed set of hours and nothing more. I will do my work to the best of my ability during that time, after which I dngaf. The company, in turn, will treat me as a non-entity when it suits (eg. will lay me off in hard times). It is for the owner of the company/stakeholders to care about the mission, since they are the ones who profit from that care (and from the naive care of others who have no stake and yet are tricked into one-sided "loyalty"). Life is too short to put that much care and effort into making someone else a ton of money.

fouralarmfire··on Ask HN: How do I overcome feeling my code will be scrutinized?
Have you heard of exercism.io? The mentors are pretty good at leading you to good solutions through constructive critiques, rather than trollish tear-downs.
fouralarmfire··on Ask HN: Are you participating in the global climate strike?
yep! was pretty awesome and inspiring
fouralarmfire··on Ask HN: Read any good books lately?
The Fifth Season by N K Jemisin (and then the rest of the Broken Earth series) great dystopian sci-fi

They suggest in the article that is a "thousands of years ago" thing, which makes sense; tough living would have favoured tough-making DNA.
fouralarmfire··on Ask HN: As an Experienced Developer, What Do You Think about Bootcamps?
I would agree with others who say it depends on the school and the student. The most important thing to note about bootcamps is that their "Learn to code in N weeks" is an exaggerated sales pitch. No bootcamp alone can get you job ready in that time, in sort of the same way that doing a CS degree but doing basically no coding modules will not make you very hireable (as an engineer). The bootcamp students who do well are those who understand that the course simply fast-tracks you through the first stages of learning, and gives you strong and useful tools to learn further. These are only strong and useful if you acknowledge this and decide to use them and keep improving (maybe by filling in the CS theory which as another poster noted, is missing from bootcamp curriculum).
