My issue is not that if icon represents what the application does but they all look alike. The old school icons, even if they were not good representation of what applications did, were distinguishable from a distant.…
Boring and same. Harder to use. It is for people who organize their books by the color of covers.
I prefer illustrations and old school icons. Every icon was unique and easily recognizable. Now all icons look alike, and it takes longer to recognize.
There is no shortage of food anymore. Unless genocide, no one is starving.
You can’t always select the bottom 20%. Sometimes, whole teams or departments are eliminated. Employees are simply a number with cost and only thing matters is cost. They almost never look at individual performance or…
Absolutely, not true. CTOs don’t care about productivity at IC level. I have seen plenty of high performers getting laid off with rest of their teams.
Iran or United States?
Based on anecdotal data, companies don’t look at any personalized resume. Much better use of your time to send your standard cover letter and resume. Just apply to positions where you are, at least, 80% match. And yes…

This is very eye opening. As a geek with strong academic background always felt cheated by the system. My professor explained that academics alone is not enough for success in life. He explained that some of the…
Or just not do false advertising.
Statistics. I have been in situations where internally my mind was screaming that this is it and there is no escaping. I felt like giving up after a bad break up, getting stuck with bad investment, getting so sick that…
I have been in the industry for a long time. I used to believe this too. In smaller companies where your work is very visible, your work will matter more. But I have seen plenty of examples where nepotism or favoritism…
Very common. Your career is 90% politics and 10% skills. Junior devs enter the field thinking this is meritocracy but it is not. Until they realize the truth, their egos will keep getting hurt.
That’s the key. Amazon is very convenient when needing something one off. But we are not going to renew Prime and slowly ween off it. Still looking for alternatives though, Costco is okay, but when you want something…

I was very close to quitting software development but luckily I didn’t. I was frustrated with work-life balance, interview processes, etc. Here people are comparing software development with minimum wage jobs and saying…
