Wow, that's really accurate. At my last job, I didn't think anything was wrong but I fantasized about leaving almost every day. When I actually left, I realized how burned out I actually was.

This discussion made me curious, how is the cause of their poverty and lack of opportunity relevant? There are hundreds of millions of underprivileged people in India, why should those from a lower caste be given precedence over others, even if there is a history of oppression behind their poverty?

I moved from windows to Mac when I switched jobs a few months ago. The biggest thing I miss is the ability to have a separate Taskbar entry for each window of a program. I have many windows of the same IDE open at once and I'd like to be able to switch between them quickly. Is something like this possible in Mac, maybe through a FOSS app?

>I've been struggling a lot with an online course from MIT but at least I'm enjoying learning a lot of stuff as I'm employed now.

MIT OCW is absolutely amazing, I've learned a lot from there as well.

I had the exact same experience, although I was older (9th/10th grade). I'd go so far as to say I might not be a programmer if it wasn't for my experience of tweaking the hell out of my jailbroken iPod touch.

And a comparable reduction in stress as well

Interesting. As someone who hasn't done any mobile dev at all, is there a way to prevent something like this from happening? Can't you somehow encrypt such secrets in the app?

I don't know of any such mandate in GS, was it for a specific division or group of teams? The company culture supports moving internally, but I never heard of anything like a mandate in my very recent stint there.

I'm very curious about this, why doesn't it work? I can understand it may be hard for smaller companies to add an entirely new location since it would change team dynamics. But for large corps already having teams across regions, why wouldn't the concentration shift heavily towards lower cost regions?

This is pretty much exactly how my experience was. I did the leetcode monthly challenge for about 4 months and did pretty well on my interviews. I got a job but I still had some more interviews scheduled. I stopped practicing after that for about two weeks and the interviews were much worse.

Genuine question, could you please explain how? Most people in my social circle are strongly against them so I only get views from one side regularly, and I would love to understand the other.

It's definitely easier to commit to one path. I've played bloodborne and DS3 twice and dark souls remastered once. I completed all my playthroughs with a quality melee build. Despite these 5 playthroughs, my understanding of the game is quite narrow. I have no idea what playing as a sorcerer, pyromancer etc would be like, so at least you get that.

This isn't a throwaway. I've been lurking HN for a while and never felt the need to comment before now. In retrospect that was a bit silly since OP has been pretty nice in all of their follow up comments. I still feel that while their criticisms are generally valid, they're a bit harsh.
