I can imagine it for the sake of argument, but without strong govt action it has a bootstrap problem: no one will create such a lane if there are no such cars, and no one will buy and develop them if there are no roads you can use them on.

Moreover, if the goal is to achieve autonomy with relatively dumb algorithms that fall short of full self driving, you have to do grade separation, fencing, tunnels or overground etc., otherwise you still need full self driving to handle those case where bikes or children roam around in your "dedicated" lane, cars and garbage bins are parked on it, drunk drivers suddenly invade it etc. And if you go the full trouble of dedicated and grade separated infrastructure, why not build a tramway or PRT (like the Booring Co Loop system) that any citizen can benefit from?

All in all, I can't see the scenario you are describing happening in any real city with real politics, maybe some oil prince can decree it.

I think there's also something to be said for passive processing.

Sometimes I'll know I need to write some code or some function and I'll just think about it in the back of my head while doing other things, sometimes for a whole day or two. Then I'll sit down and write it in like 20-30 minutes. Did I work 20-30 minutes, or have I been working for a day or two? I would say a day or two, and the 20-30 minutes was the time needed to produce the deliverable of that work.
I don't fully understand your argument. Document DB's never fully got traction in the Rails community. Then Node.JS became popular because it did concurrent IO better, and it put document DB's front and center for no apparent reason.

In my lengthy career, most of my jobs have demanded significant and intense amounts of effort and attention. With very few exceptions, I have certainly put in 6+ hours of focused work on average per day.

> I am actually a 10x developer whose laziness makes them a 1x developer?

You're capable of being a 4-5x developer compared to what you're doing currently (if you think about 5-10 hours versus 40 hours a week). But perhaps you lack mechanisms for motivation and continuing to explore spaces that benefit your team/org and might lead to faster promotions/career growth.

I.e., just haven't figured out as many intersections yet for what's sustainable and enjoyable for yourself and what directly benefits the businesses, teams and people you work with.

My suggestion is to add a few "virus" candidates (i.e., potentials for exponential growth) to your day to day. And push yourself more.

Getting a lot more productive starts with getting productive and gaining confidence/experience in small things. Assuming that's something you want (i.e., being even more effective) and that you're not just happy with the current steady state of where you are.

But to your points - a lot of software developers don't realize that they're in a steady state and are living a comfortable life (still a good deal for the company you're working for) when they could be making a lot more / having greater impact.

Part of the issue is that with programming our jobs are focused around 'automation' (in the form of software), so that very often we reach a point where our required effort really plateaus (and yet for the business still scales and provides value). If you want to really have exponential growth for yourself, you have to push yourself in those plateaus (i.e., find intrinsic motivation).
We went to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving, and contributed the pumpkin pie. I’m not sure why, but as I passed the Reddi-Wip in the dairy case at a King Soopers in Denver, I reached for the “extra creamy.” It changed my life! And raised important questions.
Developer work should almost exclusively be measured on "did you get that thing done we needed done on time?", with the limit that you shouldn't be required to work extra hours to make that happen (with rare exceptions).

I've had weeks where I do nothing, and then have two hours of real insight and solve a problem my team has had stuck in the backlog on for month/years in an afternoon.

I've had mornings where I browse HN, then take a shower, and suddenly realize the solution to a problem that ultimately brings my employer potentially millions in revenue.

At the same time, I can't perform these quick moments of brilliance for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

I've also had weeks were I put in long days quickly building a prototype needed to test out a new product idea, it's hard work but the results impress important clients and help everyone look good. But I can't keep up weeks like that for long without burnout.

The most import things:

- are you getting the things done you and your team agree are important, on time

- when you're involved with other people, where do the find you on the "oh god no" -- "oh thank god!" scale

If your team is on track solving the problems that need to be solved, and whenever someone pings you with a question or in need of help they leave feeling like you saved them a ton of time, it doesn't really matter if you work 5 minutes a day.

The inverse is also true. If people find that adding you to a project is a time suck, and things never seem to work right, it doesn't matter if you are putting in 70 hour work weeks.

>Holman showed me how it works. You have to enter your name and address into a computer, and then you can search. But you have to know the name of the person you are searching for. If he or she has filed a financial disclosure form, it will come up as a PDF, which you can print at a cost of 10 cents a page.

>"The database itself is almost meaningless," says Holman. He says the only option for those who want to get a comprehensive look at what some 2,900 staffers have filed is to review the cases one by one. "And that's just too big a job for anybody to do."

>The STOCK Act was supposed to make this task significantly easier. Records for members of Congress, the executive branch and their staffs were supposed to be posted online in a searchable, sortable and downloadable format.

>If you wanted to see who traded health care stock just before a committee acted on a health care bill, it would be easy. No trips to the basement required.

Taking the database offline due to identity theft concerns is understandable.

What isn't defensible is making it impossible to query the records in a useful way even onsite. SQL was 43 years old in 2013. It's perhaps unobvious to a nontechnical person, but the average reader of Hacker News should immediately recognize that it isn't normal to be unable to search a database of textual records, whose total size is probably less than 10 TB.

The same could be asked about upper management. They earn 10x our pay, so their output is 10x more value than our work, and they work 10x harder, right? In our normal 8 hour work day, they must work 80 hours. Except a full day is 24 hours.

Why is the onus always on the bottom workers to be honest? Why are we trying to feel guilty about our working hours vs how much we're paid? Because it's clear salary is not tied to better performers given how much upper management is compensated.

Just enjoy your life. Management probably lowballed you coming into the job anyway, but if they are happy with your work, then spend that extra time you're saving to enjoying other things in life.

What do you want to do, OP? The new year is coming up.

1999. A very small hosting company. We relied on a guy who ran our three servers out of his apartment in San Jose, CA. They were just mini towers. During the time of the rolling blackouts in CA, he illegally ran a generator on his balcony to keep things online. He also apparently had multiple window air conditioners running to keep his apartment cool. We weren't the only servers he was running!

Then there were the awful scripts he wrote. I didn't know Linux at the time, but I remember there was a bash script for removing accounts from a server. You'd run /bin/removeaccount.sh $username. But woe was you if you forgot to give it an argument. The script was simply

#!/bin/sh
userdel $1
rm -rf /home/$1

Right. So if you forgot the username, it runs rm -rf /home/. That was fun.

That seems pretty productive for an IC. If you are spending half of your time writing code, that's pretty good. You seem to be driven and a self starter, which is why you feel like garbage when you don't hit deadlines that you've set for yourself. It's a good way to keep yourself motivated, but try to keep things in the right perspective.

> The biggest obstacle to this for me is poor planning upstream, missing/bad requirements, missing APIs that are presumed finished, etc.

This is the best reason to go into management or take on role where you spend more time on this part of the process. If you do go into management, I recommend positioning yourself as a player/coach.

This varies a lot on the job. I can guarantee you’d spend more time at my current place. In fact, half of that time you’re currently spending would be at least on interviewing people - and another half would be on the mandatory meetings.

You’d easily spend a lot more time on the projects. Many of my coworkers work nights and weekends. It’s not uncommon to see people starting around 8-9am and logging off around 7pm for a regular schedule. And then pressure hits and weekend work starts showing up too.

It’s gonna vary so much by your place of employment. I’m gonna guess you don’t do any project work or significant projects and management is entirely disengaged.

First, the claim that we are a “free market economy” is factually inaccurate; a free market is an unrealizable idealized analytical abstraction. We are not such an economy.

Second, it is particularly egregious for someone in a leadership position in the legislature which engages in the substantial regulation of the economy which makes it not a free market to make that claim, especially to defend their own (and others similarly situated) ability to act as simultaneous market regulators and participants.

Members of Congress should not be permitted to trade stocks personally; they should be required to (as Presidents before Trump for quite a while traditionally have, but have not been—though they should also be—required to) place assets in a blind trust during their tenure in office.

I might be able to accept them being allowed to trade personally on one condition: each who wants to do must establish a fund for that purpose, in which any American citizen is free to invest (and liquidate a position in) at any time, with all transaction and administrative costs covered by the fund.

> I wonder why no one ever talks about architectures in the middle between those two

Because that's the default. It doesn't make intuitive sense to integrate every separate service you develop internally into one huge bulky thing, nor to split up every little feature into even more small services that need a ton of management mechanisms and glue to even be functional. Only after advocates for both extremes sprung up does it make sense to invent, as you did, a new word for the thing in the middle. It's just the sensible thing to do in most situations.

just google the "earth2 scam" and you can see why its all bs.

There is a reality where some service will win the mindshare of people to use AR to enhance your experiences as you walk around your city. Its very likely whomever owns those plots of lands on so called service will be able to do what they want to monetize. Its also possibly for whatever FOMO or hype is built around so called metaverse land that there will be money to be made by the buying and selling of metaverse land.

As of now its all a scam until there is evidence that this AR or MMO appears and will be successful, its all in the minds of people that are buying and selling.
I’ve worked at a small startup and find this to be untrue. If you’re working with people 10-100x worse than you, you can be sandbagging as hard as you can and still be miles ahead and look like a paragon of productivity.

As long as the democrats keep hypocrites like Pelosi around they will never make any progress. She f...ed up the Obamacare negotiations with her super partisan approach. She is just the typical super rich NIMBY progressive who talks one way while at the same blocking any kind of progress that may cost them money or convenience. They talk public schools while sending their kinds to exclusive private schools. They talk about solving homelessness but the only think they do it is to keep it away from their own neighborhoods.

This is definitely a possibly solution to the problem of keeping your propeller/wheel alive, but does present some problems in its own right. As another commenter stated, dead objects like teeth, hair, nails, claws, and scales tend to break and once broken cannot be repaired without entirely replacing the object. As well, growing a structure with a complex form like a propeller requires providing nutrients and removing waste from the structure while the cellular scaffolding is forming. Thus we are still faced with the issue of nutrient transfer, though I can imagine a multistage process in which the structure is initially non-rotating and then the connective tissue atrophies to free the now-nonliving rigid body.
We are a free-market economy. But the free market assumptions are not just allowing for voluntary trades, but also require information symmetry. When one person (or group) has more information, we no longer have a free market.

This is a really core and famous problem in extremal combinatorics and a lot of people think about this problem and many related ones.
