thow34wqway··on Thank HN: Five months ago, I was feeling like a loser, now I am opposite
May be this works for American culture. In India over 95% are arranged marriages. The probability of finding a partner with common interests is pretty low. Not marrying is not an option. Because it affects siblings marriages. Women have even lesser freedom in this area. Given these conditions the best thing to do is not forget the relations ship b/w spouse will never be great and at the same time its not the spouse's fault. Minimal commitment to the happiness of the spouse is a must but never forget it will not be great.

Long live the culture of individual freedom the west values most.

thow34wqway··on Remote work is killing big offices. Cities must change to survive
When companies are losing top talent they are forced to allow work from home ? Company ask people to leave who don't like their in office policy. Sure many people will stay but not the talented ones. They just quit to companies who allows Work From Home. Its just a matter of time company which does not allow WFH is filled with mediocre people.

10x is real. Those programmers are still alive. Example Jeff Dean.
thow34wqway··on 1x Engineer
wow. That's deep.

TLDR: Don't get stuck at "0.1x". Do leetcode and switch while you get competitive salary.

In a new company you are usually 1x for the first year. You might be a 10x for a while after the first year then some thing changes like a project move or disagreement with technical decisions/manager/raise then you become 1x and then 0.1x. This is a dangerous time. Better switch. If you don't in the next appraisal cycle you will get compensation below you skill level and then its hard to get your compensation back.

> ... while also squandering good peoples time doing joke products.

This is irrevalent. No matter employees should not be expected to work more than 40 hrs a week.

> I think forcing parents to tidy up or downsize can be cruel.

This is on point. Its hard to feel empathy over your age especially when you are young. By young i mean under 40's or even 50's.

If you don't mind please list the f-droid apps you use regularly. I have been few apps for the past few months and the apps have small memory footprint and have great performance.

> Do you have any other ways the developer can make a living?

Yes. Sell commercial software or If the developer cares about open source then charge for support. Its a disservice IMO to make the user install for free and then ask them money to use other features wasting users time. There is a incentive to make worst product in the free version which goes against the principle of opensource.
