It's ok to do those things but not try to care for yourself?
I immediately thought that type of failure should be recoverable without a hospital visit and surgery and tried to figure out why it wasn't.
My mind immediately set to making it so and was held back by the fear I could go to prison for practicing medicine without a license.
"I love you. I wish I could fix you. I could fix you."
"I know you could. I wish you could."
Slowly the org transitions to much higher paid people in these roles across the board.
I think part of it is mgmt types think they save money reducing wages for the most numerous type of employee and it creates a black hole race to the bottom.
High end restaurants have very well paid front of house because they have a financial incentive to perform. Cashiers don't.
I wish I could buy my own life sustaining hormone that I've been using for 20 years and understand better than most doctors outside endocrinology.
Rifle bullets are mostly either lead, which leaves lead residue on the machines parts and causes jams as the tolerances decline. Thus lead coated with copper is superior technology and more reliable but more expensive to boot. It doesn't mushroom as much but the velocities are higher. Plus rifles aren't used around water do they are much less likely to end up in the food supply and this legal for hunting.
It is still true. A FAANG job is the easiest path for a engineer to millionaire status in about 5 - 10 years.
The interview process is eminently hackable.
Or perhaps you want to do a startup, get funding. You build a this for that .com. Do some social media, find a few users who love it. Read pg's advice, pitch deck advice, go to some demo days.
Hack the test. Get funding. The incubators, the vc fiends are themselves, oligopolic. A handful of firms with common expectations. Mmr. Hockey stick user growth. It's the team! Here's your A good chap.
Those are the tests here. But there are other ways to get an A+. You don't have to start a business the way software people start a business. You can do it like the cabinet maker, or the electrician, or the store owner.
You can buy one increasingly easier today because the baby boomers who started than decades ago want to retire. Imagine how you can take that business into the future with the software you can use to automate it.
Business brokers abound. Go talk to one.
Stop thinking go big or go home.
Go talk to a business broker. Go ask about owner absent business options. Residual income and you didn't even have to be there. Use automation to make the employees lives better and more prodictive. And your customers' lives.
Package that software you write into a SaaS and sell it to you competitors. Profit more.
You are your own case study.
Human persons do this. What happens to our data? Our hardware that depends on the cloud.
Small software companies have source code escrow because large customers require it. Large companies not so much, even though vc backed startups are more at risk.
We tend to think companies outlive people but today it feels the opposite. Growing jobs for endineers.
But I'll be able to understand their job better and what the software really needs to do to make than more efficient and productive. They'll appreciate that and be more likely to buy in and adapt to the product they'll be using.
That's not your job. Your job is to implement the features you're told to implement.
But the users saw those features and said that is not what they asked for.
So? Why do you care if the project fails? It's not on you if it fails. Just do what the BA's said to do.
Boss, they aren't translating the business needs correctly. We have to rebuild features 2 or 3 or 4 times. Is we could see what they do and talk to them it'd only take once. That's happened a couple times during user acceptance. They said that's not what what we asked for. I said what did you ask for? I coded it right there on the spot and they signed off on the user story.
Go back to work. I'm busy. This isn't a productive conversation.
It's taken those years to break through the shells but people repeatedly tell me they like hanging out with me because I listen. I empathize. I'm genuine. I'm authentic.
You have to be real. Be committed to your fellow human beings. There's a dearth of that up here. A lot of judgemental people. Closed minds. Antagonism.
But if you are patient and keep letting people show you who they are and be who they are they'll cine to love you.
We need more people like that up here. They are here. Keep the good ones close and more will collect.
I am so happy I found my place. The weather is gross right now. People are staying inside shivering and will be until May next year. Try the library. Ask people questions.
I hear the same things repeatedly. No one says hi. No one smiles. No one approaches me. Do those things. People long for that.
As much as you want people to do that for you, they want it too. Be kind. reach out. Continue with the responsive ones.
Would you like to get coffee sometime? One on one works well with introverts.
It makes me so happy that people are finally realizing how evil Google is and pushing to end them.
They are so bad.
What if they were that person twice our three times! The most productive people will have a new incentive to create tremendous value again!
Very soon I will get a warning from hn that I'm posting too fast. I Don't know when that will be but I will respond when I can. I love the constructive dialog.
I really do believe in this plan.
No I don't agree with that. Someone may have asked the founding fathers that too. You know the monarchy will never go for independent colonies, right?
Political systems change, violently eventually unfortunately and the goal of a new system is to avoid that.
That's the key. Capitalism only rewards greed. There is no altruistic component. What I suggest rewards altruism after the game is won. There is currently no end to the increasing gap, except violent revolt, which has always been the solution.
Violent revolt is not a good solution to the wealth gap.
My current best solution to the problem of capitalism is this: once a year the richest n people must divest themselves of all assets minus the median annual salary and start over.
I think there are times for both kind of play. It's annoying when people only play one kind of way. It's like beating you is all that matters to them.
It's getting harder to escape the surveillance. Quality of life will increasingly diverge from the main stream.
They don't realize the impact it's having on their lives. Facebook has become a justification to bring hate into our personal conversations. Their crazy aunt says something on there so they believe this makes it a public conversation, but I have no idea about that.
Their debates are personal conversations had in public. Facebook has made the problems of talking about class, religion, race and politics inescapable.
There's a reason we avoid those topics at holiday gatherings and business functions. They divide us and cause psychological injury.
Fb has capitalized on this fury and drives profit from anger, dispute, hate and all these other emotions we don't want to have. These are the conversations that don't end and people want to win. They're live long disagreements where people won't change their mind and find equally violating people to fuel their rage and others to direct it at.
These didn't use to be everyday conversations. Fb makes it easy to intact with those you disagree with violently and often. People you'd choose to avoid in real life but new can't because fb makes more money of pitting those two divergent personalities together and continually antagonizing them.
It's hurting their mental health to be surrounded constantly by dissenting voices trekking then they are wrong for whatever reason.
You're wrong. You're wrong. You're a bad person because you believe that. You're inconsequential. Someone said this thing about you.
It's ruining people and I don't know how to get that awareness through to them. They're telling me more often they wished they'd just never gone on there and I say don't go back. Fb is like the abusive spouse they are addicted to.
How do we save our friends and family from that abuse? How do we help them escape? I'm so sad for them and I feel helpless to save them from the peril that is so obvious from the outside.
I don't know him personally. I've only seen him speak via YouTube videos. My point isn't to damage his reputation further, just add evidence that there may be an egocentric aspect to what is going on with the team heavy focus of the initial marketing push for the company.
There are arguments being made in these few threads today that such a direction is misguided and I believe his history supports that.
He tends to dismiss his impact on the failures and blame others instead. The claims about joyent for example that it was too far advanced for mass adoption or Amazon squashed it, rather than he not focusing on better marketing or the customer.
The products are held back not because he wasn't good enough, but rather because he was too good. I have an intuitive sense this new company is going down that same road.
I think city policies are a problem but nowhere near 100%. Banks and cheap risk free lending massively dwarf the impact of city policy.
I totally read that first as "mass police state" probably because that's what this is. A robotic mass police state.
