$100k for a senior engineer is atrocious. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Good luck!

Source availability doesn't really feel relevant to a discussion about why most people don't use it. Most people don't know anything about open source.

Stress, anxiety, excessive worrying, etc all have reasons and causes you could use to justify them. Mindfulness is really just a deeper state of awareness and introspection. Observing your mind and beginning to see the patterns of thought and behavior that cause you unnecessary pain and suffering, and experimenting to find healthy solutions that work for you.

I'm interested in this critique. Could be beneficial to others here on HN. Care to elaborate or were you just venting?

When the cosmonauts were able to talk to family back on Earth, Artemyev was asked about the suits. He said every crew chooses their own.
βIt became our turn to pick a color. But in fact, we had accumulated a lot of yellow material so we needed to use it. So that's why we had to wear yellow,β he said.

Sorry, Walter, I don't recall comic book companies hiring legions of psychologists, behavioral economists, and data scientists in order to optimize engagement metrics by exploiting evolutionary bugs built into our brains. This is fundamentally different technology, but nice try. I don't necessarily think that this law is the solution, but I'm glad not everyone is as laissez faire about it as yourself.

Exactly. We don't live in a vacuum. So many people saying just take some personal responsibility. But when you see the effects on society at large, you have to acknowledge that maybe it's something about our genetics / psychology that's being exploited unfairly.

Pretty sure they mean as a research topic. Like, it's not being actively researched or improved by academia or industry.

It's harder, but not impossible to get this sort of compensation in a remote gig. I recently went through a similar process, needing to move from Seattle to central MD for family reasons, and not wanting a lifestyle-altering commute. E.g. Stripe is high on this list and is very remote friendly.
