"informed the infrastructure teams to prepare for its launch with only two days’ advance notice. "
What a nice way to say we don't respect our engineers. They should hide in the woods with their planning skills and not post about it

Yeah this hit home so hard.
Had to leave the startup i loved working at, because started doing all this release fast crap. And somehow people think releasing fintech stuff fast and untested is fine.

My personal experience im a daily drinker 2-3 cups, but can easily not drink for couple of days no problem. But i have high blood pressure my uneducated guess is that BP has a lot to do with how you handle non coffee days

Mostly agree, but i think the more seniority you get in your company the less you will deal with these issues and of course changing jobs helps. So basically you might encounter all of these but not necessarily.
And starting from scratch and college is basically the same point

Its interesting that the weight is such an issue. I have 13 pro it weighs a lot and i love it and the case actually adds some weight. Cant name all the reasons why i like it ( just a feeling i guess) but one reason is that i know for sure when the phone is in my pocket and i didnt forget it.
Ask HN: How do you deal with well paid job being too easy/not interesting?
I don't doubt there are a bunch of us who work at the job which is not interesting and at times too easy, but the financial resp. does not allow to change the job to something more interesting.For me personally switching would involve a reasonable pay cut and im no longer single in my 20s (have all the time in the world to learn new stuff) One thing i found is working out every day makes it...

Re:Stop Developing This Technology

I don't really know it does sound super hard. But maybe if we consider that we go down the path where you do not own your tech (we are close to that now) and the companies have some monitoring tools to see what you are doing.
And then you have this kind of network of trusted machines that you communicate with.
Edit: i really don't like the idea that i have to be paranoid about every interaction with tech.

I wonder if some form of regulation is coming to tech. We do not allow people to spread heroin freely or slavery or some other sort of horrible stuff.

Oh I can relate to this as well, but I think its not just being mentally tired.
Me personally I want to get through the story, I do not have time to explore the world to get to the next chapter. And I feel a lot of games nowadays have this goal of rewarding exploration at least thats what I get from youtube reviews of the games. So like you for me eventually the game just becomes more work after work

A lot of comments about the internet availability. Living in Northern Europe - never a problem. And as for lets say a flight, you can download spotify music.
Audio quality i do agree that spotify kinda sucks

Very interestin. I wonder if you can already have a startup based on this - providing some sort of auth. Not even sure how this kind of tech could be implemented
Ask HN: What tech utopia/horror ideas do you see materialising soon?
What i see happening soon is:With all this recent AI stuff where it is able to create content that feels real I started to think about how AI could just create the world for you.Since we already are basically living in the internet we could have some terrorist organization finding an isolated enough person and attack him with a program that would generate a bubble just for him: fake friends,...

Human infants were not left alone to go hunt for food, i believe the modern concept of family is at play here. People used to live with their parents so, much more help - much less crying.

Following your logic sanctions are useless.
I think this is ok because nothing will affect Putin. Russian people should eventually not reelect him or somehow remove this government. And for others I think its very reasonable to not do business with such an unpredictable/hostile country.
