It's easy to say that but kids (yes, kids) that are age 17 aren't really the best equipped to make great life altering decisions in the first place. People fuck up all the time and our response as a society shouldn't be…
What's interesting is that some of my best friends have been people that society would judge as unsuccessful, not smart, and not cool. Mutually feeling accepted by one another is a big part of it I think, but I never…
That's an awesome story, did/do you find it hard as an entrepreneur to get off the ground with a lack of social proof from the ivy league degree? I guess after achieving some level of success from your entrepreneurial…
Honestly I really appreciate tools like this exist but I'll probably keep using Medium out of laziness. I don't want to have to worry about maintaining my own blog and I'm cheap so I don't really want to pay for hosted…
Probably lower them, which is bad if you're part of that demographic, but better for everyone else outside that very small group (which admittedly is probably a significant proportion of HN readers but a small…
It's annoying how often status pages for various services (when they even exist at all) show that things are working when they really aren't
Any kind of ads are annoying to me and well worth the couple of $/month alone, but I also like being able to skip songs I don't like and having in general a better set of songs that I actually enjoy
Anecdotally I use Facebook to coordinate social events with friends and find that it's been a helpful tool to easily keep in touch with friends. I've reconnected with friends through it too. I try and avoid political…
A lot of people have a hard time showing empathy for others. Part of it can be due to immaturity or being overly sheltered, lack of social skills, etc. It's easy to be critical of others that make bad decisions but…
No one is forcing you to read it... I'm a self taught developer and I lack a lot of low level data structure/algorithms knowledge. I really enjoyed reading the article myself and learned something from it. Sorry that…
Definitely agree with that, it's a tough balance between code quality and efficiency. But at least as a beginner that is trying to learn new things, you usually don't have to worry much about things being supported…
Ahh thank you, I've never been good at accepting compliments and don't really feel like I did anything too special since many people each day are able to handle their nutrition/weight in a much better way than I can.…
Very true, in the end everyone has limited time and it's impossible to learn everything. However, I do personally like roadmaps/guides like this since, as a beginner, it's hard to figure out what you dont know. So being…
Same here, I actually lost 200 lbs in my mid-late 20s and it's amazing how many positive ways it has affected me beyond the physical health benefits. Growing up I never had an interest in sports/physical activities but…
I don't really think there are any negative effects to having good social skills. If anything, being able to effectively communicate with others probably helps with coming up with new/unique ideas. Very few great ideas…
I never thought I'd have to worry about bowling alley equipment DDoSing my servers, or having them mine monero
Not sure if your insurance has it, but my health insurance has a website where I can login to it to view my EOBs/etc and also has a section to lookup doctors in the area that accept my insurance. Either way, sending…
Yeah, I know the spirit of the term. I'm really not trying to play dumb here or anything. I agree that other people can be more productive than others on an individual basis. I just disagree with using a "10x"…
For the sibling comment, are you referring to this comment? "10x developer is absolutely a thing, in the easily observed phenomenon that some developers are 10x more productive than other developers. The "other…
I don't even think there is a clear definition of what the "10x" is measuring in terms of output. Features/story points (velocity)? well.. this is a productivity metric of the team rather than individual. Without a…
The article says "A 10x engineer isn’t someone who is 10x better than those around them, but someone who makes those around them 10x better." I'm guessing you disagree with the author's definition of a "10x developer".…
The importance of soft skills is underrated. Technical skills are important, sure, but I would much rather work with an "average", friendly teammate than an insufferable genius.
I don't really think this is true in practice. There is a risk to scamming, plus even with zero risk not every customer would choose to scam them (given morals/etc).
Personally I think more people would be turned off by the fact that someone thinks they are a "loser" for having a Facebook account. Though it's a bit harder to quantify personality.
