All one is interested in is if he/she has a job. Rest is just corporate BS which one has to go along with.

Ask HN: Resources for learning how to read sheet music

Posted by devlife on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @06:44PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have picked up a new hobby of playing piano. I bought the Piano for All course and I'm enjoying going through the chapters and practicing them every day. I'd like to take it to the next level. I'm looking for recommendations on tutorials, courses etc. which I can use to learn sheet music.

I wonder if the 500 page comment Buffett made was ever meant to be taken seriously. Maybe he just said for the sake of motivating students.

This is not something new, but lately I have observed this behavior to be the in-thing with certain roles.

I am feeling more and more frustrated with the way things are done these days. I find project management done using JIRA to be a complete drag on productivity, creativity and quality. The entire way of working seems like an assembly line and the daily answer to "are we there yet?" is highly counter productive.

I have been improving my home office since I started WFH about 4 weeks ago. Got myself a Philips 43 inch monitor today. Initially I thought it was too big but then after coding on it for about 3 hours, I am already used to it.

Re:Why We Terminated Our Partnership with Microsoft on Tuesday January 28, 2020 @06:37PM (#22175400)

It looks like you wanted to do OSS but you soon realised that there is potentially good money to be made in commercial software. Your company also spent all the years building a good product but the money bug bit you and you started charging exorbitant prices. The greed kicked in. And now you are whinging because MS came and ate your cake.

Please don't get me wrong on this, making money is the reason why we live in a world which has all these amazing things. But it is a jungle and survival matters here.

You are so right about ageism. I am in my mid-forties and I am already feeling it. I have been rejected from positions because of my age. The feedback most of the time: I am not a good cultural fit.

I do not get lured by Pool table, office BBQs, bowling nights etc. I just want to write good software.

My first reading of this book convinced me to move away from Windows. I usually read it at-least once a year.
