Oooh, example?

This person sounds boring as fuck

> I don't give a single fuck about the salary of the 0.0001% of the population that is billionaire CEO, that's not the problem. The problem is that basic necessities have been turned into a profit-printing machine and you pay 2K a month for a 500 square feet apartment in London.

Interesting that you don’t see those things as part of the same problem but rather two separate unrelated issues.

I’m excited to see the anarchists, marxist leninists, and police abolitionists be brings onto this diverse council

Ill tell you a cool trick: just halve your hours. This is what i do. You’ll still challenge yourself but with more constraints.

Learn to let go of things and let them get a little fucked up. It makes the people around you feel better too.

Find ways to expand yourself but not technically. See how much joy you can inject into your workplace rather than story points.

An interesting tool for sure. One thing that makes me not want to use it is the forcing of browsing commit by commit. Seeing the whole pull request makes much more sense foe my workflow

Intro classes to things you’re interested in. A once a week for four-six weeks course will get you enough exposure to become friends with at least one cool person in the class.

Volunteering in the community you live brings a wide array of people and there’s usually downtime for talking.

Blind contour drawings of something in your house every day for 20 minutes for three months. Do that and you’ll be better at drawing than most people

Seeing how awful the gig economy is for every worker driver, deliver person, etc... absolutely not.

Non caffeinated tea

Because even if your name is on it, the idea that “you” made it is not really true. Someone made materials for you, somebody taught you the skills needed to make the thing. There was a whole functioning society that allowed the work to be made in the first place. The society was also the thing that enforced the property rights for some arbitrary length of time. At some point, the society that helped create the work should share in the spoils.

The about the author tells you everything you need to know about this article and whether to take it seriously. These are not universities. They’re right wing think tanks that carry water for oil companies and defense contractors.

Why not work on something else that makes you happy? Pick up a new skill to exercise a different part of your body or brain? Take time to take care of yourself, cook a nice meal, meditate, call your parents. Build relationships, repair old ones you may have neglected. Very few people wish that they worked more when they get older.

Dude, please find a therapist. See if your employer works with any mental health providers and if not, try finding one on https://www.psychologytoday.com/ . Yes it's expensive and time consuming, but this is the most important step you can take to better your life. Please do this, work is a band aid you are using to distract yourself from serious issues. They will catch up eventually.

It's the knock on effects we're concerned about. The extra strain on the healthcare system:

- endangers the lives of healthcare workers (they're absolutely burnt out at this point) - makes people not go to the doctor for necessary health issues - causes other emergencies to not be serviced

Is it possible to run your IDE within these docker environments? I'd love to set up a do it all docker container for the front end devs at my work.

If someone makes no income, they're not counted in the savings rate is my point. It's like people who do not look for work not being counted as "unemployed"

Savings rate is a function of income. What if your income is zero because you've lost your job due to a pandemic?

You would be some sort of metrics to say when something has become a monopoly wouldn't you? Why can't company size be such a metric?

Yes, the point is that democracy can exist in more places. For example in the workplace or even within certain supply chains (such as food production).

Maybe we can have this for cops murdering people too

This looks worse than zoom

If you live in a city it very much makes sense to wear a mask outside because you pass by people all the time.

Meditation can help maintain neuroplasticity and help you in many other parts of your life as well. I recommend the waking up app for a good intro

Within that statement is an ideological assumption that the only way to provide services to people is through a for profit venture. We worship market based solutions except we have things like taxes to build public infrastructure without a profit motive.

This is 100% an ad

I hard agree. Startups can burn you out a lot. I've been there myself. The best position is if you can line up a start date a month or two after quitting.

I would ask for some time off to look for new work. I had a very similar situation last year. Asked to take mental health leave for two weeks and found a job in those two weeks. It was still draining but made me happy in the long run

What a waste of human potential. Is this really the best problem you could have solved with your skillset? The best minds of my generation are selling ads. This shit makes me depressed.

This article is showing an important lesson: no matter how valuable you are as an IC, changing the culture at a toxic company is very difficult alone. The one thing that has been proven to work for these situations is collective action by employees. One IC is replaceable, a team of ICs quitting is a disaster, the threat of such action is enough to make any manager/director shit their pants. You don't even have to come out guns blazing and do a full union right away, creating a simple demand on paper with all members of a team signing that demand is often enough to make management scared.
