mrkentutbabi··on Failed for the past 12 years as an tech entrepreneur
That's amazing. I am an engineer myself and my problems are that I am not that creative to find problems to solve like you do. Much less the persistence that you have that keep trying and trying again. Kudos to you! I hope one day I will be able to do so.
mrkentutbabi··on Worker pay isn’t keeping up with inflation
Introduce them to identity politics.
mrkentutbabi··on Introduction to WebAssembly Components
You can use AssemblyScript instead of Rust
mrkentutbabi··on Ask HN: Are most of us developers lying about how much work we do?
Ahh, I remember now in my previous company. The guy didnt know how to code, so always take 1-2 lines of css fix (and even then it was bad). Went out every lunch for 3 hrs, back to office, then watch youtube till 5pm then go home.

That company is underwater now.

mrkentutbabi··on Ask HN: What are some high quality coding tutorial sites?
For frontend, frontendmasters.com
mrkentutbabi··on Preventing extreme polarization of political attitudes
I wasn't a Trump supporter, and cheered when Biden won presidency.

Fast forward now, not so much anymore. Now I want Trump to be back in the office.

mrkentutbabi··on The Great Bifurcation
I wonder if more and more people will rather be in the Metaverse like Ready Player One, so that real estate and real world prices will crash. I am looking forward for it.

After that, maybe I'll buy an Island and create my own country and invite all of my family members that are now scattered in different countries, and build my own kingdom, in the real world, my own rules, my own philosophies.

ah.., a man can dream...

mrkentutbabi··on Americans are rethinking where they want to live
Crypto seems to introduce another headache to this.
mrkentutbabi··on Americans are rethinking where they want to live
I’ve been rethinking this as well. I think I came to conclusions that too much diversity isn’t a good thing. I myself isn’t American and rethinking hard if I should obtain my American citizenship (currently PR)

I want to move back to Asia where there are less diversity and society is less complex. I value harmony more than diversity.

mrkentutbabi··on Vivaldi: Violating CoC on forum may close your email account
You aren't woke enough, thats a problem.
mrkentutbabi··on Vivaldi: Violating CoC on forum may close your email account
Everytime a company makes a decision like this, I keep wondering whether they always pull it out of their ass or do they really make the effort to research or engaged on the community first.
mrkentutbabi··on Ask HN: How do I create a social movement to change the world?
I see. Would that mean that it will be just slightly lower? As in, overtime the problem will be the same.
mrkentutbabi··on Ask HN: How do I create a social movement to change the world?
Unrelated, too afraid too ask. But regarding house prices. I think housing prices are just the way it is? Or I am just not understanding a few things.

More people want to live more in cities (due to access to society’s benefits and jobs) then housing prices will rise. This seems normal to me? I.e more people means more competition means price will rise.

If someone wants cheap house, they can just move far to the suburbs and work there or commute to the city.

Am I mistaken to think that there is no inherent problem in rising house prices? It is just the way it is and it happens everywhere even in 3rd world countries.

mrkentutbabi··on Code to flood Kellogg with bogus job applications after strikers sacked
There are infinite jobs????
mrkentutbabi··on Ten years of experience, still failing phone screens
I think it is fortunate that great engineers like OP are rejected in Leetcode style interviews. The benefit is twofold:

- It makes fresh graduate noobs (or even just noobs in general) able to compete on equal ground on high-paying job prospects. Think about it, if every high paying jobs out there value experience over leetcode style of interviews, then young noob programmers won't be able to rake great salary because all of those jobs are filled already by experienced engineers

- Great engineers should just use their talent somewhere else in startups, create more innovation, create more wealth rather than helping the big tech giants become bigger

mrkentutbabi··on Code to flood Kellogg with bogus job applications after strikers sacked
Wow, just wow. This is amazing.
mrkentutbabi··on Code to flood Kellogg with bogus job applications after strikers sacked
Its all about power dynamics. Kellog here decided that they have more power on their side so why should they come to the negotiating table.

If you look at /r/antiwork you’ll realize that these demands are more and more moving goalposts. I don’t understand that subreddit. They think jobs grow on trees.

The person took it down after reading about Computer Fraud and Abuse Act lol.
mrkentutbabi··on ‘Tipping point’ makes partisan polarization irreversible in research model
I think as long as the big factors that influence the polarization stays, i.e, big tech, social media, etc, the polarization will stay here.
mrkentutbabi··on Reduce your website’s environmental impact with a carbon budget
So maybe start using Rust on the backend and WASM on the frontend?
mrkentutbabi··on Keep the web free, say no to Web3
and then the blog proceed to write some political article called "gift economy" even though it promises to not be political.
mrkentutbabi··on Evidence for the “great resignation” is thin on the ground
Yup this is the risk.
mrkentutbabi··on Evidence for the “great resignation” is thin on the ground
Umm...30 year mortgage? Some people (like me) don't want a 30 year mortgage. Too much risk. I want 10 years top.

mrkentutbabi··on Ask HN: Why is everything changing too fast?
Side topic. What's wrong being a software dev?
mrkentutbabi··on Back end developers on hackathons are not needed
Actually, you don't need frontend devs as well. Just use UX designer + Figma.
