I think one perspective for companies looking to hire FTEs is that at some point, those "job hopper" advantages are best captured by hiring consultants and other non-full-time people for fixed term gigs. (It's another question to ask the job hopper, too, why don't they go into consulting or fixed contract work?) Sometimes that will involve them writing code, other times advising/overseeing/helping some internal team, but at some point they've done what was needed and it's see you later. Your actual full time employees though, you want them to stick around.

The last big company I worked at made it pretty easy to "team hop", which I'm sure cut attrition to the company overall by quite a bit. There was even a cool "sniper team" that would move around to assist different teams every few months. And of course there were the summer interns, most teams tried to make them net-positives and productive during their few months -- that is, even with some overhead of spinning up to the environment, having some team members mentoring them, and having to make sure their work is well understood enough by others to survive them taking off, you're still happier they were there than not. But IIRC no one was directly hired onto the sniper team, they were internal transfers. Maybe some were job hoppers in the past. But most teams interviewing new outside candidates for FT roles want the same sort of expected stability as everyone else, so of course too frequent job hopping isn't going to be seen positively.

I had a fun experience interviewing someone for a management role, he had previously left the company (after a year or so as a dev and about the same as a freshly transitioned manager) for another, but after maybe a year and a half or so at the other was thinking of coming back to the old one. I can't remember my phrasing but I basically asked him what sort of guarantees (I know I didn't use this word but it captures the desire) he could make that he wouldn't just leave again after a year or so, when this particular position really needed someone invested for at least 3 years. His answer was something like a pretty floaty "we never know what life will throw at us", which sure, there are no real guarantees here, but still, you could at least try and make me believe, like demonstrating a passion for the underlying product space or something, or heck even a simple mercenary view of trying to get a lot more RSUs that don't vest after that many years would be acceptable to me (if not others). Anyway, I recommended against him, for that and other reasons.
Very nicely done! Although it is a bit short on features (the only interaction is to reveal something after a button press?). I like the way this is monetized, but is it also possible to export a course (as an author)? If not, I would probably not invest the time to create a course there.

If you are interested in creating interactive courses, you should probably know https://idyll-lang.org/docs - but it is more complicated and not as nice out of the box as TigYog.
That “useless disorganised thinking” is very important. It’s the first time all day your brain has had a chance to ponder things and not being bombarded with constant stimulus.

In Lars' case, he is from what I can see a supremely skilled instinctive archer. There are some historical documentation, from some regions ,documenting feats that Lars is capable of doing.

But, "feating" and "combat skills" are very different things (well, they are for sword disciplines, I will blithely assert the same is true in archery). Yes, both require skill. Yes, training one discipline can improve the other. but they're not the same. Just like how writing Haskell (or Lisp) can make you a better C programmer.
> Taiwan people are highly educated and urbanized. It's much harder to use Taiwanese in Taiwan compared to High German in a Pennsylvanian Amish village.

This isn't true at all. Taiwan is highly educated and urbanized and nearly everyone can understand Taiwanese. Millions of people speak it natively and everyone else has encountered it in media, day-to-day life and also in school in the past 15 or so years.
> but the people that are homeless because they’re addicted to getting high all day?

You've got it backwards: they're getting high all day because they're homeless and doing what little they can to cope with the insane amounts of stress that entails.

Once you recognize that inverted causality, the solution becomes obvious: provide them with housing and help them back onto their feet.
I have met exactly one person who proposed doing that… during their interview for a potential VP Engineering role. And allegedly it was used quite broadly at the organization they were leaving.

The conclusion was “no hire” for other reasons, but we (the CEO and I) definitely had a chat afterwards about how invasive and weird that was.
What is odd though is that it seems the state of NSW doesn't think it has obligations to the United Nations, even though the body who has the constitutional authority to place that obligation on them (the Federal Government) did so.

This is really the problem with the home directory. It’s supposed to be the place where the user puts their files, but it’s also a place where applications put their files, usually without asking the user.

The battle is lost - the home directory territory should be ceded to applications and the user should have a separate space in which to manage their files.

This can sort of be achieved with the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable, but not all software respects it, so in practical terms it’s a lot easier just to leave $HOME to be the application config dumping ground.

> 24hr sunlight

That means you either need to sync the satellite with the Earth's rotation (Sun synchronous orbit), so you will deliver power at the exact time the corresponding Earth region has full sunlight (and thus, a surplus), or that you will have to go at insane altitudes. Or that you would need to launch some sort of orbital power ring that can transport the energy around the world.

Good-luck beaming power from SSO or across spans of thousands of miles. First let's see a phone that charges from across the room with no matter how bad efficiency, or an electric car charging wirelessly on the go.

When customers don't get it
I've only ever seen a few resumes that were exclusively short tenure careers.

The two questions it raises for me:

1. Is this a person who has ever lived with the consequences of their decisions and code? Can they maintain what they write?

2. Is this a person worth investing training, mentorship and coaching into?

I will still interview the person, but I change my questions to find out if they've maintained systems, lived with code they've written.

To the second I ask no questions... It's just a risk. Onboarding takes time from a productive engineer, if I don't believe someone will stick around that time is wasted when paid double (for this person and the person that will replace them within a year).

That's only a few people in hundreds of people interviewed. I hired one, they left after 10 months :shrug

These people are likely not you though. There's a big fear that "I've only had one job and I'm ten months in and it's truly awful, if I quit have I destroyed my career?"... no, you're fine, just quit. Or "I've worked a few jobs for 3+ years and then had a couple less than a year, I'm trying to find the right thing for me and this isn't it, if I quit have I ended my career?"... no, you're fine, just quit.

A resume covering a decade or more of entirely short tenure things is a different beast from whatever your circumstances are likely to be. But if you are one of those people, consider the signal it sends... has this person ever lived with the consequences of their decisions (both technical and interpersonal)? How would you show this? Do you have a long-lived OSS project? A long-lived and maintained side-project. Extracurricular isn't needed to get a job, but if your resume can't communicate something then this is where that stuff helps.
Oh how I wish that I could sleep until 08:59 A.M.

During the pandemic, when part of India was on lockdown, I had to go up very early to cover for our Indian team not being available. I started work at 05:00 A.M. and got up half an hour before that.
It was tough in the beginning, but after some time I started to really enjoy it. I have my home office window towards the woods, and waking up when the forrest was most active, was inspiring. Every day I would share the morning with different animals.
I think you're not committed, you're not feeling that waking at that time is important. You keep giving yourself second chances with snoozes and multiple alarms. Try not to.

What do you do when you need to catch early flight and be in the airport at 5.30? Do you manage to get up in time? Most people do because the cost of missing the flight is just too much. Make waking up for work as important.

I went from sleeping in person to wake at first chime person after sleeping in for several important occasions which put other people in bad light. That really made me revaluate my priorities. After a while it become second nature.
> Linux hides them

Linux doesn't hide anything. It's POSIX and GNU programs that choose not show anything that starts with a dot by default. As far as Linux is concerned they're just normal files on the file system.

It doesn't have to be that way. Personally I have my system configured so that all "hidden" files are shown because I hate the concept of hidden anything. I used to do this in Windows too.

> The specific functionality being used does not 'work just fine everywhere'.

It kind of does. "Program reads configuration from a file" seems like a really basic thing that every operating system supports. There really is no need to directly depend on any Windows API stuff. Even worse would be suggesting the use of the registry.

> It is not the case that Linux functionality is How Computing Works with every deviation being 'out of the way', not even in a hypothetical world where Linux isn't the drastic minority of machines by an order of magnitude.

And yet Windows is the system getting "half-baked ports of Unix-first software" here. Why should the developers be shamed for not going of their way to support Windows conventions for Unix software?

People develop software on and for the systems they actually care about. Windows is the legacy proprietary system people only support because it gets them paid. At least I hope someone got paid to port ssh to Windows because I sure wouldn't want to do it otherwise.

If it's any consolation, games from Steam on Linux leak files all over the place on that OS too.

Right now the offenders in my $HOME not following $XDG are games, LibreWolf via Mozilla, Xmonad, GnuPG, and anything related to npm (with their maintainers closing any issued opened about support $XDG).
> From this comment it sounds like there's a lot you're leaving out of this story

There's more than can be covered in a little comment.

I have the psychiatrists' September 2015 affidavits, filed in support of their petition for involuntary treatment. They say, essentially, "patient expects us to believe she was psychotic because she was drinking 2 bottles of liquor a day, and using cocaine. We know this is not the case because we previously got her 'stabilized' in 2008 and 2010 on haloperidol. She obviously does not appreciate that she is broken and requires anti-psychotics for the rest of her life."

My videos from August 2015 prove that she was actually fine before she ran out of alcohol, and that whatever deterioration the doctors think they're treating is entirely caused by palliative psychiatric drugs.
Yes and even in most of northern Taiwan, there's a ton of Taiwanese everywhere. One of my old friends was born in Neihu and moved to the US around 3rd grade or so. When he visited me in Taipei as an adult, he spoke fluent Taiwanese and much more limited Mandarin. His situation was a bit comical to younger people, but not a real obstacle.

I also lived in the Guishan/Linkou area for a year and heard a lot more Taiwanese than Mandarin in day to day life.
Yes, for now. But what will these models look like in something like 5-10 more years?
Tell me about it. But not just that I'm a night owl, I mean to lead a normal adult life you pretty much need some sort of rhythm unless your partner is also a night owl.

But I've already worked remotely for 6 years and I find that with our nordic winter darkness I can be outdoors and enjoy the sun during the day and put in my hours when the sun sets. This I feel should be the norm up here in the nordic lats, when the sun starts setting at 3pm.

Be outdoors during the day, work later during the afternoon.

Google Wave did everything right, but had no PMF?

This is a brilliant (but very sad) video. The ghost writers get about $2500 for a 10,000 word book researched and written in a month. I guess this is cheaper than using GPT-3 and having to prune out the flights of fancy/complete nonsense that GPT-3 can sometimes generate.
It's very difficult for me to sleep well, so I naturally end up with a marching sleep schedule. To compound that issue, if I get 8 hours of sleep I am usually wide awake even after 16 hours. So your observation rings true here, but having a routine doesn't help unfortunately.

I've had 9-5s for years at a time, so I can pretty fairly say that getting up at the same time every day and trying to fall asleep at the same time every day just doesn't work for me. I end up laying in bed for hours awake, wasted time. A 9-5 for me looks like 8hrs sleep, 6hrs, 5hrs, 4hrs, 8hrs, 6hrs, 5hrs, 4hrs... etc.

For what it's worth, I have a good diet, I go to the gym 4-5 times a week, and I spend hours outdoors and walking during the week. If anything, it just gives me even more energy and focus.

When I was a 10 or something we used to gather together and watch tv with neighbours kids, we used to borrow things from our neighbours!

> Some of the happiest societies in the world employee a model that is neither rigidly collectivist or individualist (e.g. the Nordic model).

Nordic societies are the most individualist societies on earth. Their policies are all about individual people and their wellbeing. They have no collectivist concept of a greater good that is above the individual. In Russia and China the concept of national rejuvenation is paramount above the individual. These nationalist visions are maximally collectivist. Trump is a lite version of this. The sociocultural construct of "America" and the sociolegal construct of "freedom" is supreme over the actual positive freedoms and negative freedoms of the individual. Self-described right-libertarians are often very collectivist in actual practice. You can't be anti-immigration and call yourself an individualist, it's a nationalist (and therefore collectivist) position.

Funny how raising red flags may correlate with plain pay raise strategy.

It's a known fact, that 2+ yr tenured workers will get smaller salary bumps for loyalty or staying with the company. And the next guy walking in may have a significantly bigger salary for the same title and set of responsibilities.

I was this "next guy walking in" and during kitchen banters with colleagues it was revealed they have had a 30% smaller compensations. Since that day I never trust it's in company's interest to fairly bump salaries of tenured staff. They'd rather get a new guy and pay him more. And it's simple economy: giving 15% raise to X members with base comp Y every year is much more expensive than, say, give a 150-180% base of Y to a single fresh hire.

From my point of view, a raise flag is not getting a decent pay raise and not getting any articulation on why cloaked as annual company policy et cetra.

For my domain and in my experience (deeply embedded firmware on custom mixed signal ASICs) ramp up time is around 6 months to break even, a year to be modestly productive, and 2 years to be actually productive (because you understand enough of the domain to contribute at a cross-functional, system level).

Hiring managers need to look for good employees as well as people who solve their problems, and whoever joins the team is going to need months of training to be productive.

Someone who jumps ship after a year is...not entirely useless, but was certainly a waste.

Perhaps it's different in other domains.
