I am kind of retired on the money I made from crypto - but now I am back at programming because I like it and also because I have an app idea that I like. Maybe it is a different situation - because I also still speculate and read about economy etc - but I cannot program more than maybe 15 hours a week. And also I am more productive when I take some time to sleep over the problems.

> There are literally days in which the only time I spend on my job is the few minutes it takes to attend the morning stand-up. Then I successfully bullshit my way through our next stand-up to hide my lack of production.

This is the key point that makes your situation problematic: You're actively deceiving your manager and peers.

Reasonable managers don't expect everyone to be in crunch mode all of the time, to produce 8 hours of work in an 8 hour day, or even to be productive every single day they were.

But they do expect you to make an honest effort, and to tell the truth about your progress. If you're going out of your way to feed them information to make yourself seem productive while doing as little as possible, that's a problem. It will catch up with you eventually, one way or another. They either know already, or they will know once they start looking more closely. Usually the people who aren't working are at the top of the list to be cut when layoffs are necessary.
I failed to launch a side project because of this. Microservices were just becoming trendy and I went in head first.

Ended up losing so much velocity worrying about how to set up the services and even going so far as to implement nano services as rock bottom lol. The project became more mental masturbation on distributed systems than solving any real human problem.

So yeah, start with a monolith. And continue using the monolith. There might be a few services you need to factor out from your main system, but do so with caution.

As a white person, on some level I don’t care about “hate speech” against my race. Sticks and stones, etc. I like to think that I’m strong enough to not be affected by such things, and the prevailing ideology tells me that it’s nothing compared to what those in marginalized groups face. Policies like this one from Facebook are an extension of this notion. Besides, racial slurs, insults, and sweeping generalizations really say more about the person making them than they do about the target.

Still, I don’t understand how policies like this can be seen as anything other than racism, by definition. And I don’t understand how racism can be defended as a good thing. Maybe that’s just my privilege.

I agree it is happening globally, I'm from South America and there are statistics of birthrate fall as well in my country. As personal experience in my company ~90% are single childless and we are in ours 30s 40s.
team allocations aren't always the case. if chainanalysis is looking at the rug pulls that I'm talking about, then much of the time there was no upfront capital to the team with a separate premined allocation. many issuers are currently putting all the tokens created directly into a liquidity pool paired against capital they already had, bots and individuals buy into the liquidity pool and receive the new token, pushing up the price in the process, and then the issuer unbundles the liquidity pool, leaving no pool, (while acquiring the liquid capital added to the pool by purchases. AMMs function by then having less of the issuer's tokens and more of the tokens that were used to purchase the issuer's token)

these are colloquially called rug pulls, because the liquidity pool was the rug. these happen so fast these days. These things can play out completely within 20 minutes, as bots and individuals are scanning the blockchain mempool for erc20 token creation transactions and liquidity pool creation transactions, just to get into a potential big project before anyone else.

here, the traders are at no disadvantage to the issuer, from a community perspective, to continue the project and attempt making their investment valuable, specifically by adding to a liquidity pool themselves.

again, my main point is that things that are very common are not being distinguished from whatever you or others want to argue about. its an article about this year, not 2017, not 2018, or some other year dominated by an antiquated style of ICOs.

there is something to debate, but the vocabulary itself doesn't allow it, perpetuated by an organization that gets no benefit from distinguishing as all they want is technology contracts from governments.
Yeah many rough edges indeed. The generated SQL is the plain output from GPT-3; I have not done anything to customize the model or validate syntax outside it, so the roughness is expected. No idea if folks will find value in this despite that, hence the demo.
Bruh, they have new UI on top of the other 12 UI kits and gaming performance is worse. What more could you want?
Is this really an issue? I clicked the help files in windows and it always opened in IE6. It wasn’t more than an annoyance. Can you uninstall edge? I think it’s a sensationalist topic, it’s closing a potential security hole if FF or other browsers aren’t updated.

Do I agree with it? No, I use Linux but it’s really not an issue that hasn’t been around and isn’t easily ignored, and many people may never encounter it.
I always thought the antitrust ruling against Microsoft was a bit heavy-handed (and I say this as a former Mozilla employee). Like, it was the 90s... most people wouldn't know how to download and install a browser in the first place, so bundling (much like how iOS comes with Safari) seems fair.

But then they do shitty stuff like this, and it's a reminder of how overly anti-competitive Microsoft really can be. It's one thing to bundle, and it's another to make it so hard to switch that people finally just give in.
I've read about the FIRE theory time and again. For some reason, I don't buy it. I fail to believe in the plan that consists in building enough FU money to then "be free".

An important difference between art and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin is owned by ordinary people with bills.

A market downturn or economic crisis can turn a lot of Bitcoin owners to liquidate, potentially annihilating its value. You just don't see that with people who have money to collect art.

Good reminder that the growth in Bitcoin has almost entirely happened since the last real bear market.

Long time manager, and I agree with all of this, but I also identify with OP and also get only a handful of hours of work done every week and I've wondered the same thing.

I get high marks (high to superlative performance) consistently, but it's usually because when I deliver, it's with high quality outputs and effective delegation. Otherwise I don't really do much but wonder whether I'm really under performing if all my reviews are as strong as they are, or if I just do the work more quickly than most others.

edit: I'm fine with this comment being dead, honest. less people see it and less risk of me being identified on my main. don't vouch. I'm using tor so that's why

I actually think that other than underwork you might have to hire people that you have enough "burst" performance but regularly don't have to do much.

There is a real example with global markets like the stock market. Most trades are done electronically but, if those electronic systems fail you can activate an automatic backup system which is a bunch of traders on a trading floor.

Hypothetically the recent Facebook outage could have been minimized by just having a security guard that could open and close a door. I know that DNS propagation would have still fixed it and yes the AS systems would had to have time to propagate but it still would have been a better solution.

How many more articles do we need to drive this point home? First it was a fashion to develop using microservices. Now writing about not using them is in vogue :-).
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30793826/

Do you happen to know of good studies to back up --- organizational psych research going back decades showing that teams who work 40-hour weeks will quickly outperform teams working 60 hrs / week --- I've heard this before, but, I've never seen the studies talked about.

I found this study via Googling, it took a little longer than I would like to admit. (I'm probably using the wrong search terms)

It definitely paints a more complicated picture - from a manager perspective, they could say that more hours equals more work - except they should be measuring worker engagement according to the study I linked, because it's more heavily associated with productivity than total hours worked - but they could say this is hard to do, it's just cheaper for the company to make everyone work more? That kind of company is definitely a place I would not want to work, but more studies, might make it easier to justify a change if you find yourself in one of these organizations?
A lot of workers in technology are getting paid in equity. For many, it makes it more than acceptable. It's not really anyone's place to tell someone else that the way they're making money is unacceptable without knowing all of the details.

I put in 60-70 hour weeks routinely. I work at companies I founded and own. I don't make overtime. Is my work schedule unacceptable?

What is the percentage of equity between 0% and 100% that makes working above 40 hours per week "acceptable"? Who picks?

The OP wasn't asking about working harder. They specifically said that they BS their way through standups to deceive their peers and manager into thinking that they're working, while often doing zero work at all:

> There are literally days in which the only time I spend on my job is the few minutes it takes to attend the morning stand-up. Then I successfully bullshit my way through our next stand-up to hide my lack of production.

At that point, it's not about grinding harder or going above and beyond. This is a problem of misleading everyone around you.

It's not just the company that suffers. These situations usually result in the rest of the team having to pick up the slack to get things done. The person doing little to no work is taking advantage of their peers' productivity.
Well, if there's more to it in this case, you're free to fill out the picture with additional data.
People are saying you're doing a disservice to yourself. Not necessarily.

Remote work + my maturation as an engineer has gotten to the point where I can have OP's lifestyle, and it has allowed me to reorient.

I now have personal goals. Some are semi-professional (side projects, e-commerce, art, music, etc), some are financial, some are personal. In a way, OP is probably close to a coast FIRE in general - can't criticize that!

So if I'm giving less to my employer and spending my remaining daytime in My Goals..am I doing myself a disservice? Of course not - in fact, giving more to my employer would be the real disservice to myself.

Exactly this, I've believed in (to varying degrees) the mission of every place I've worked, and still feel passionate about the projects I'm working on, and enjoy the work I'm doing. I've also rarely worked more than 40-45 hours a week, and fairly often work less than that. If I ever worked somewhere that actually required more than that I would find a different job, because I am not built for working many hours per week.

Modules have higher requirements for self discipline the services. Precisely because the boundaries are so much easier to cross.

And also because it is harder to guard module from changes made by other teams. Both technically and politically, the service is more likely to be done by a single team who understands it. Module is more likely to be modified by many people from multiple teams who are just guessing what it does.

I definitely think you are on to something. However, while I don't know about China, in Japan I do know that premarital sex is not stigmatized and even first-date sex is not unheard of. It's true that marriage is seen as a benefit to women in Japanese society (women face severe career barriers in Japan), however I am hesitant to paint it in terms of "women date/provide sex just so they can get married," given not only their attendance at matching events, but also the prevalence of host clubs, yumejoshi, and other symbols of female sexuality that don't seem to be as common in the West. Women don't get anything out of that type of thing other than fun.
One of the details of iSCSI is that the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) has date stamp. So if you own the domain example.com, in your connection string you would have:

* "iqn"

* date (yyyy-mm) that the naming authority took ownership of the domain

* reversed domain name of the authority, e.g., "com.example"

See:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI#Addressing

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3720#section-3.2.6....

This way if the 'naming authority' (example.com) changes hands, the old connection handle is invalidated.

>Why work more?

I founded a company and we were successful, but we really tried to continue the momentum. We had a group of 7-10 engineers, built over time and strenuously recruited and managed. And we have plateaued over the past 5 years. Now looking back I realized that probably a lot of the engineers had an attitude similar to what you describe. So they really ended up damaging their co-workers, because less growth at the company means limited advancement and less money all around, some layoffs during tough times, worse company culture, etc. It also wasted some of my professional time, because I am passionate about the industry and want to accomplish something in it.

Do you feel bad when the Product Manager is eagerly contacting you and trying to pull together all requirements and engineering estimates for the next sprint, or whatever, that you are sandbagging that person's career?

Now, I know what all the HN burnouts will say, "Screw them! If I can trick somebody out of a wage, that's my right!"

>The reasoning I was given was to not never even provide a hint of impropriety or using data ahead of our customers. Reputation was everything.

One bit I took away from grad school was the strict standards around conflicts of interest. The big concept was "Disclose and avoid conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety." The avoidance of impropriety is a much higher standard, and unfortunately it's all too common to see that standard not applied in government.

Fetishization is absolutely relevant in the context of the article. It completely changes the power dynamics associated with sex, which is what the article is about.

And I absolutely do believe white people can be fetishized! But this article is written in the context of a white person living in a predominantly white society. My main argument is that her experience is not generalizable to the wider population, who experience the power dynamics of sex very differently.
Nice! Yeah I have no doubt that a specialized model could beat this general one, although I find the output from the general one to be uncanny at times. Would love to hear your expert opinion on how they compare!
1. You need to look for a team/project with more developers. It's hell to be a solo developer when you don't also control the "promised" features and timelines.

I've worked 6 positions for 5 different companies over 12+ years. Two of those as a solo developer. Neither had upper management promising things I could deliver on deadlines. I was still fairly stressed out because I was always afraid I wouldn't be able to solve problems by myself. I can't imagine how torturous it would be to have someone with little understanding of code or my personal output making promises that I would have to keep! Look for an out, ASAP, in my opinion.

2. If you target very large organizations, you'll tend to have a lot more slack in delivery pace.

Nearly everyone that works in the Fortune 50 or at a major US university works slower.

I've worked for both, the feeling is just different. I think it's because everyone expects delays, paperwork, and process bureaucracy at every step. This gives you lots of breathing room to take a more pastoral approach to what's considered "productive". I think the work from home revolution has further enhanced that. I can say for sure in the 7 years of being a "senior full stack engineer" at a major org, I've worked after 5 pm less than 10 times.

This isn't a bad thing, as typically you can trade time for less risk to the company. "I need an extra day to make sure this won't embarrass us / leak data / hurt customers / etc."
