hwang89on To solve problems caused by sitting, learn to squat (2017)

https://www.reddit.com/r/flexibility/comments/2j8sup/dont_kn...

How about timeboxing 15 minutes a day for body maintenance? Start out just reading some articles, then watching videos, then try out your first stretch, feel sore the next day, take a week off, then try out a different stretch routine, then progress, then increase your time per day because you see improvement, and one day, out of the blue, you're squatting. What do you think?

hwang89on Bootcamps vs. College

The majority of bootcampers already have an undergraduate degree and years of life experience - enough to drive them to take on more debt and change careers. Pretty sure this is the harder "real world" path to an entry-level coding job.

hwang89on Trouble In the House of Google

Lately, I've been exploring the theory that too many Google employees exist:

Thousands of highly motivated employees attempt to expand their resumes + make an impact -> blind expansion of site features + sources of ad revenue -> loss of company character + restraint

Once the profit appears, no one dares to backtrack.

Does that make sense, or am I just speculating?
