Ask HN: Autistic employees think they’re better than everyone

I’m working with a 10x engineer who’s most likely autistic and produces more than everyone else. He’s taking the team down because he steals work from others and nobody can learn the codebase. It’s also really bad code so he’s the only one that can understand it and refuses to document or explain what is going on. Is it rare or is it a common situation?

Wow. Didn't realize how important it was to aerate. I seldom open the windows at my place.

I also remember often getting really dizzy working in my previous office, and I couldn't understand why, maybe you're on to something.

Now I'm wondering how all of that has affected my health along the years

In my bedroom I can feel the morning dew in my lungs. I've been wondering if it is bad. Could be lead as well, it's an old house, but I don't think I would be able to feel it.
Bless you
I really hate that if I start looking for bdsm stuff on Amazon I start having bdsm related ads everywhere. It's really uncomfortable when friends are shoulder surfing.

You have no idea about what it is to be a doctor and you are just reacting to one sided story

Why would it be a fad though? League of legends, dota2, cs:go are all going strong

Coincidentally, there was a post yesterday on HN about how to communicate to developers. Sounds like they didn't read it.

I think PhDs don't necessarily realize how the world rely on them. You're pretty much out of school when you receive a PhD.

Yes tipping is optional. If we can't agree on a fact we won't go really far.
Since it's stress, I don't think it's good for your health.
I've gone through the same. Only google makes you write code on the whiteboard and only Google gives you A lot of puzzle coding interviews. With the others there is way more discussion and system design going on. It's much nicer as a candidate.
I interviewed with Google a few months ago and it was the worst. I was dying by the end of the day. It is so intense that I just wanted to give up by the last interview. I don't think I will ever apply there again, or if I do I will care less about going 100% for each interview.
Pretty much because for most people who are not on HN facebook is a cool company.
And I thought he would give out numbers.

I've resisted for many years, but I use ddg more and more for streaming movies ilegally and for porn. For some reason google is heavily censored so that works great.

Now if I am using DDG that much, it must be that they're doing something right and that something is happening for them.

That's quite a reaction you're having here.
Re:New logo on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @06:22PM (#18926598)
Love it! Surprised by the negative reactions. The original logo feels a bit cheap and not well thought while this one has more purpose.

Airbnb is great if you want to feel at home when you travel. A hotel room is so impersonal.
Re:Airbnb and security camera disclosure on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @04:06PM (#18925241)
They change the way people travel in a good way. I wouldn't be so hateful towards them.
Re:Airbnb and security camera disclosure on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @04:05PM (#18925233)
Last time this happened to me I just went to a hotel and asked them to reimburse me (I had to argue but they ended up doing the right thing)

Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Tuesday January 15, 2019 @07:26PM (#18917164)
I think you're convincing no one by saying that it will be doing more harm than good. At this point anything would help the situation. SF is unlivable now.
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Tuesday January 15, 2019 @07:24PM (#18917155)
You should change friends. People shouldn't decide what you do with your money.
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Monday January 14, 2019 @05:51PM (#18907329)
So you're suggesting that this isn't enough money? Then we'll pass another prop C :)
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Monday January 14, 2019 @05:49PM (#18907310)
How? It is optional and plenty of other people are not tipping. I think you're being an idiot for throwing your money away if you tip because you feel forced to. If you tip because you appreciated the service then it's different.
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Monday January 14, 2019 @05:49PM (#18907303)
Why would you care? Waiters don't expect tipping as much as in the rest of the country.
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Monday January 14, 2019 @05:47PM (#18907291)
Oh. But then we're not talking about equivalent levels of senior. Senior in the US can be reached in 2 years.
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Monday January 14, 2019 @02:25AM (#18901294)
Yup. But I would say that pizza in the US is disapointing in general if you know italian pizza.
Re:SF restaurants are suffocating on Monday January 14, 2019 @02:24AM (#18901287)
Senior people definitely make less than this in europe. Unless you're taking about large corp in london.
