Cool observation. Fascinating to see how corporate speak spreads and builds off each other. These are like memes in their technical definition - "behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to…
Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I really hope you're doing ok and seek appropriate mental health support. Don't fret over the ranking of companies - we're all dead and forgotten in a few generations anyways. This…
Great comments. I agree with your take on what being an ML Eng actually means. Of course this will vary to a degree from team to team and company to company, but I think you still capture it well. I absolutely think…
Definitely agree with your first two paragraphs, but am confused by the pay paths. Can you expand on what the paths mean?
Thanks for calling this out. I too have noticed the same behavior and it’s frustrating. I’m happy to see others notice the same phenomenon.
+1 for Dream Theatre. Progressive metal is my number one source of Frisson. Brutal, heavy lows followed by soaring, melodic highs really does it for me. Before I learned of the name frisson, I always thought it was an…
Ha yes exactly. "We have transcended the need for rules. Except this one rule. And maybe another rule if you keep being mean. And if you break that rule I'll call my mom on you"
I love this take. Refreshing to read. Thanks for your words. It has helped me slow down and enjoy my day.
I personally love your take. I don't know about this person, but it resonates with me. Especially the part about treating life as a game or competition and the only success metric is work/money/power. I'm by no means a…
Yes, best interpretation yet. This data is whack. I would take it all with a massive planet size grain of rice.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I love this community but sometimes it bums me out. If work is what truly makes people happen, then awesome, have at it. Personally, I get some but not all of self-fulfillment out of it. I…
Right? I really appreciate OPs work ethic, but he/she should not project their inability to manage their time or their team onto others.
I will say it. FANG/MANG is as easy as it gets. These companies hire people so their competitors don't, not that the people hired are expected to generate tons and tons of value. It is easy to put these companies on a…
I appreciate your words. The passion and the way you write about nature is great. I connect with it. It does remind me that humans have become numb to the world around us. That we are just animals dependent on the…
This post and the subsequent thread are great. Sadly, HN is part of my internet/screens addiction, but it is nice to step aside and reflect on how life has changed between pre and post internet. Thanks for you well…
The lack of self awareness of people is staggering. How is it even possible to be this blind to it?
I love this comment and your vibe. I agree with the lack of lazy pragmatists.
Honest question - how do you all cope with this? Do you ignore it because it is painful? Do you donate to environmental groups like the EDF or NRDC? Did you quit your tech/advertising job to work on renewable energy? I…
Agreed. It has been trending up for years with better equipment, but COVID opened up the floodgates. Now the NPs have to employee "ski rangers" to help assist the chaos that is bc skiing in popular spots. I don't like…
Such a shame Facebook is considered a prestigious place to work. Sure, you can become a millionaire, but at what cost? Is this what you imagined you would do as a kid interested in math/computers/science?
I really appreciate the honesty in your comment. I can relate to it closely and have had the same thought.
I don't understand the negative comments towards you. Are people living in denial? I appreciate your comment.
So this is how you justify it to yourself? Honest question. It seems you acknowledge the legitimacy and urgency of the problem but are unwilling to make changes due to it being social suicide? This is kind of where I…
I grapple with this every day. It is painful to look around and see that no one is paying attention or cares. There is all this talk of being Woke nowadays but I believe these people are only woke in the one particular…
Super into the CO2 estimate part. I think incorporating shipping is a easy first place. While much harder, future iterations could consider the composition of the product. Is it plastics? Etc
