Welcome to burnout, then.
That is not sustainable, and you can't create a profitable solution in a time frame that this amount of work would pay off without horrible (personal) costs.
Well, yes, but I'd rather not depend on a fair system. That's rare and often fleeting.

The promo process story hits home with me. I was trying to get promoted a few years back at my company. Over the previous 4 years, I built out a lot of systems, fixed critical bugs in our software stack, stayed late during crunch mode ensuring on time shipping, and volunteered to debug issues upstream issues impacting our software. Our team was customer facing so back-end bugs always surfaced in our product. I was a customer focused developer and fixer.

That being said, every time promo time rolled around, I had nothing to show for it. You needed metrics and some plan of how you were going to show your manager you were performing at the next level or it didn't count. The software that I worked on over a crunch week that made the news papers, doesn't count. My managers would put me on project that didn't lead to any favorable trajectory for promotions. Every project they ever suggested, which I took up is now deprecated or severely paired back to the point where it doesn't matter outside of my personal development.

Now, I'm 4 years in and starting from zero in terms of building my foundation for working on a project that is valuable enough to the company to reach a higher role. I'm still willing to do the hard work, spend the occasional late nights, get lost in my passion of working on customer solutions, and try to have an impact. My question now is whether it makes sense to build for my company or build for myself?
You probably need to add "increase human happiness" or something along those lines, because otherwise the group of "let's painlessly euthanize all the other humans first, and then ourselves" guys are trivially "good guys" — they monotonically reduce the human suffering to zero.
An audiobook is an immersive experience, it engages your imagination (if the audiobook is any good at all), listening to the radio (assuming they don't read well written full length books on the radio) is not.

I think part of the issue is in knowing how you would go about learning and implementing a thing. There is a lot of code that I don't need to bother writing because someone else has done it, but I could write it if I needed to, or could learn the algorithms and implement it. A programmer who has a breadth of knowledge and general understanding of how they would go about writing Node.Js will do a lot of things in Node.js a lot better, especially optimizing. I could figure out how to write a lot of software. And when I see something, I can usually run through which language, architecture, etc. to make it. That's useful.

You can tell yourself that but your time to switch away from having your attention on your audiobooks/podcasts (the latter probably less so, they are much more like radio) is going to be longer than if you weren't concentrating on them. Immersive experiences tend to make us see stuff in our heads that isn't really there depending on how good the writer/narrator is at calling on our imagination. So unless the audiobook is really bad it is going to require some non-zero fraction of your attention and imagination engaged and that's about as close to daydreaming as you can get. Not the best state to be in while driving.

Google is already not GDPR compliant, and they've proven they're acting in bad faith by all the dark patterns they use to get people to surrender their privacy.

Regarding Apple, Microsoft, etc, their business is based on selling hardware, software & services. Ads make a insignificant part of their revenue, so there's less incentive to be malicious and put the rest of the business at risk for a tiny share of the profits anyway.

Google? Their entire business is based on ads, there is no other way for them to stay afloat given their current expenses. So there's much more incentive there to be malicious, and they've got both the lack of morals (cf dark patterns) and the engineering talent needed to do the bad thing in a covert, undetectable manner.

Interesting.
As a datapoint, I was unexpectedly gifted Airpod Pros for Christmas and all three tip sizes seal well in my ears according to the test app. The middle sized one is most comfortable. Regular Airpods fit fine.

That being said I'm planning on passing them on to somebody without Airpods (after buying new eartips!) because I already own regular Airpods and Bose QC35s.
I prefer the on-ear Boses for ANC and the Airpods for comfort (not completely in-ear, easy to take in/out for casual listening, less isolation than Pro's transparency mode, they fall out and pause playback when I fall asleep).

The Airpod Pros aren't bad, they would be a good compromise between the two for somebody who likes in-ear buds. I just don't have a use for them and find them overpriced.

It's interesting to read the original post, your comment, and the responses to your comment. There are many different uses of the word "focus" and its relationship with saving time.

For me, focus is simply about depth over breadth.

If you want to do high quality work and enjoy it, you need to clear up your schedule to give a particular endeavor the time it deserves and then some. You do this by shrinking the scope of what you're working on down to something manageable, something you can do a stellar job on in the time allotted. That requires saying no to everything else, even things that are promising. You can get to those later.

If you want to do mediocre work, then take on huge projects with a ton of responsibilities, and try to work on them all simultaneously. Not only will the quality of your output suffer, but as an added bonus, you'll earn a packed calendar.

They typically do that in the context of countries that are already wealthy for those within that country. You would not be able to do UBI at the level of a country the size and state of Pakistan at present unless you got other countries to pay for it.

The $1000 iphone sell for around $2000 non-black-market price in my country. Which is roughly 60% of the gdp per capita of the country. 60% of gdp per capita in america is roughly $35k.

So if you had a handheld $35k device would that be considered a status symbol in the US? Maybe but not a $1k one.

I see a distant analogy with something I got to know from a private investigator. Burglars also changed their game in the similar spirit. Instead of stealing your big TV, jewelry or other physical goods they try to escalate the physical breach into digital one, e.g. installing spyware on your laptop instead of stealing it. Wiping a bank account pays better than stealing physical stuff.
You can't, and you don't have to. It's their problem and their responsibility. They have the right to do whatever they want within their sovereign territory, for better or for worse.

I think you're vastly oversimplifying the mix of incentives and resulting code that drives all those corporations. You're letting your bias against Google blind you against things that Microsoft and even Apple did when they saw profit. You're also hugely overvaluing the incentive of large corporations to go directly against the law.
I'm touched by your vulnerability and openness. It reminds me of a client who had built a billion dollar company and wanted my help building his next one. My immediate sense was that that was not really why we were talking or why he was here. We kept going and eventually I challenged him asking whether he had really built a billion dollar fortress to never need to be vulnerable. He broke down and we went deep, uncovering some of the deepest trauma I'd seen someone go through when they were 4 years old. From there, everything shifted and things took a very different direction.
It's those kinds of insights, when as you say "as my healing journey has progressed, any ambitions I held to achieve business success on par with the Airbnb founders has faded, and been eclipsed by the realisation in order to anything really well – from running businesses and leading social/political movements, to simply having successful friendships/relationships, a healthy family life and a physiologically healthy body – a healthy emotional foundation is of prime importance.", once we really get in touch with our inner world, things shift dramatically and what has meaning to us changes. That doesn't mean that we don't want to to continue having a meaningful contribution to the world, but the sense of ego-striving that is often just a mask for our wounds can gently fall away and allow us to walk through life a little more freely.

My learning has been whether you get to the billion dollar level or not, the untouched wounding eventually comes through and takes its toll if it stays unaddressed. It's stories like yours and the one I've described that make coaching the most meaningful thing I've done in my life to date.

> The critical attack on those movies is just the opposite: that they're overly flighty, hyperactive even

That's not the opposite. "What you end up with is something that spends an awfully long time, although not as long as its predecessors, doing a load of things that don't ever actually get anywhere". That's a quote from Mark Kermode reviewing "On Stranger Tides" the fourth of the Pirates movies. The main thrust of his criticism is that this movie is faithful to its origins specifically in the sense that it's an amusement park ride, a bunch of superficially exciting things happen in a pre-determined order that doesn't mean anything, nobody is changed by the experience and the operators of the ride don't care because now they have your money.

Frenetic action is NOT the opposite of "long slogs with nothing left to say" any more than a carousel ride is the opposite of going nowhere.

> That version wasn't published until a year after the Hugo.

That's correct. But my understanding is that Neil's "preferred text" largely existed before the initial publication and a version of that was seen by fan readers. His editor, like you, thought it needed substantial trimming. His fans don't agree. The text you have also includes some bug fixes, but they're not why it's so long.

I have never understood this argument. I have seen lots of American/Japanese high quality brands that manufacture in China and they often cost an insignificantly higher amount than the chinese equivalent The difference is that I don't have to wait months for the product to arrive and the trusted brand is massively reducing the risk of poor quality because they actually have to follow the QC standards of the developing wolrd. Meanwhile on Aliexpress the truly cheap stuff is often just garbage. No savings there.

Wow. Thanks for that.

When Airbnb popped up on my screen I was in Siberia having my website rewritten from scratch after 8 years of spaghetti code.

It was the same thing and Airbnb which was just designed better (in 2008).

When a couple of years later I finally realized they destroyed my business it took me some time to admit I didn't really miss a chance: I had none to begin with.

I just don't have what it takes to grow a business to those levels.

In my case it's probably not an emotional issue, but it has still a lot to do with personality.

I guess my takeaway is: not everyone can be a CEO of a unicorn and this is fine.

While the poverty of Pakistan is indeed a problem, I would argue that it is not the cause of this situation. This situation is human exploitation backed by the government. The change needed here requires political, not just economic changes. I would suggest that this form of servitude is part of the cause of Pakistan's limited economic growth. Minimum wage and the ability to declare bankruptcy would go a long way to disrupting this particular status quo.

> Would you go to a doctor that knows how to remove an appendix, but doesn't know how the circulatory system works?

The ability of a surgeon to successfully remove an appendix necessarily involves a fair amount of knowledge of the circulatory system, so the analogy is flawed. In my experience some people get by just fine only knowing how to address a problem through some particular framework. The point of abstraction in the end is to release people from the burden of considering the details.

I think that this is a better analogy: would you go to a massage therapist who knows how to release tension in your back by manipulating your tissue, but doesn't know how neurons and axons work? Perhaps greatness can be achieved by a a therapist who knows the ins and outs of every aspect of your body, but as a patient/customer I am really only interested in the skills of the therapist insofar that they manifest in the ability to relax my back and shoulders. And really, a lot of development problems are like that. People perform well at their development jobs without a firm understanding of the mechanisms and inventions that enable them to perform it in the first place. It's by design.

The real problems arise when there is something you really ought to know. For example, if I don't know how memory is allocated by the black box framework I use and memory use suddenly blows up through my interactions with it, the only thing I can fall back on is a lower level understanding. But usually this is fine, and it is someone else's lower level understanding that you fall back on. If you're working high up in a web front-end perhaps you have to consult someone who contributed to a web framework you're using. Maybe you have the wrong approach in a way that leads to instantiating too many objects. On the very low end of software development you may end up having to consult someone who laid the board out and can reason about the operation of the application in terms of the electronics involved. Maybe these two buses shouldn't be used at the same time because of a reflection problem.
Yes this is what I think - if you're outdoors and doing something you're going to be getting wet, inside and out. Might as well accept that and work with it (fast drying clothing, wet dry drills) rather than fight it.

I would be interested to know more about this, because for me time isn’t the problem, it’s my lack of focus.

During my recent holiday, I took a different approach, and instead of telling myself to work on something from 9am to 12pm. I just woke up naturally and kinda did what I felt doing. Most days this was going to the gym in the morning, and then going to a coffee shop. I probably spend less time working on my project then I usually do, but I managed to complete so much more work, mostly because my time was extremely focussed and I wouldn’t drift off.
Why does a robot trained to remove appendicitis need to know about the bones of the foot?
I vaguely heard some theories that in the absence of better explanations, humans gravitate to attributing weird phenomenons to divine will. Not sure if this is in any way scientific. Inventing forest spirits seems to come pretty naturally by anthropomorphizing a variety of things, but I guess it gets complicated when dealing with lightning and such, and the deities evolve accordingly.

Afaik neuroscience also can induce ‘divine’ experience by applying current in a proper place.
Now granted, I never worked at Google, but I've worked for several F500 companies through the years. I made a promise that I'll never work for one ever again because this corporate structure and bloat tend to engineer promotions and reward through things that do not actually benefit the company.

His work, which was useful to the company essentially got reworked into something that impressed the "promotion committee". I think this is the notion that should terrify all founders, to not let the original culture turn into endless committees and stifled work products.

I guess Google can endure this only due to the sheer cash it generates, and no i do not think that their promotion structure supports that.
> I backpack in the Pacific Northwest and have hiked for hours in pouring rain at temperatures of berween 40 and 80 degrees and have found a standard gortex jacket by Marmot to be totally acceptable for this task.

Aren't you sweating inside the jacket anyway due to hiking? So you're wet inside whether you’re wearing a jacket or not? So what's the point in a waterproof jacket?

I think it's best to just accept you're going to get wet, wear basic fabrics, and practice wet-dry drills.
The keypuncher?
PostMan allows you to send any query to a server. When building an API, you expect some required parameters (ie. "login" being a string) but postman can send or not send the required login parameter and it might or might not be a non-empty string as expected. On the other hand your web form will consistently send the login parameter and check it is a non-empty string before sending to to the server. So it's straightforward to implement the API assuming your required parameter will always be sent but in practice it's not always the case.

The point here is great engineers make sure the API answers correctly even if the query is messed up.
