Just make more money. That's what cured my desire to hoard every penny.

It turns out that programmers are artisans and dreamers of new methods previously thought impossible.

It is not possible to manage them in the same way as worker bees on a factory line.

Caveat being, if you have a programmer who is clearly not interested in dreaming or being an artisan, fire their fucking ass. That's like having a dj who doesnt want to pump up a crowd.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time. I suggest you find work as a contractor in backend work just to stabilize yourself financially.

Try not to take it too seriously, consult with your doctors on how to manage your pain and depression and any anxiety you may have from backend work.

Once you are stabilized and maybe have moved to a low cost of living area, you can take your time to find a more interesting job :)

Good luck.

It's almost as if tourists and workers are the lifeblood of a pub, and when you physically bar (hehe) those people from entering because of a peculiar collection of organic material going around, it is the pub that is squeezed to death between the landlord and the non-existent customer

May the march of open source continue on so that in becomes even more easy to make enjoyable and interesting experiences as a one person show!

Yes, this is true. This is how Microsoft and Oracle became what they are-- creativity all pushed out to better places, and only the paper pushers remain to keep the lights just barely on.

Large corporations, with the help of helicopter money, soaked up all of the available labor out there and then squandered it.

Now, good is being tossed out with the bad.

Credentialism is a scam, our corporations are soaking up too much talent and this latest round of layoffs shows that the corps don't know what to do with the mess of half talented half nots they hired.

Never trust corporations (or anyone for that matter), even the most well intentioned of ones, to always make rational decisions, even when they hire rational people and write down rational policies.

Interesting. This is why in my current job I developed our business logic to be completely self contained and agnostic to the outside world. There's a lot of needless translation that happens (DynamoDBClient -> MyCorpDynamoDbClient) but we could painlessly switch to a different provider by translating only the edge classes of our system.

I mean, I enjoy using Apple products, but they quite literally paid out a very large lawsuit which found them culpable for planned obsolescence with iPhone 5 batteries and etc.

Most likely in my mind because phone makers would like you to purchase a new phone every 2 years, and a new battery only begins to degrade around that time as well.

Hehe, I really like this answer. I feel a bit cursed and also lucky at the same time in my current role... I was given ownership of a project that is solving a $100M problem at a big company, but now that it is working well... random people from other teams are showing up to take control of it and kill it with their idiotic ideas.

Who wants to shard MySQL once a week at Amazon levels of scale? I prefer a managed service with consistent hashing.

We are a nation where those who can are blocked by those who can't.

Better things could be accomplished in international waters, at this rate.

If you've implemented every requirement, you should focus on refactoring, documentation, performance, cost reduction, fault tolerance...

I am tormented by the fact that at almost every company, there is so much amazing work that could be done, but everyone sits around blocking it or being lazy.

That doesn't stop youtube from blasting people away over copyright issues?

On youtube, video uploads are a cost center, whereas on github, code is a profit center

Hmm, very interesting. I was briefly working on an application for a beauty care RnD lab. I was kind of surprised that most of the products (whether expensive or not) had random mixes of small amounts of exotic organic molecules, and the rest of it was just filler.

I don't remember any of the names or percentages ("they're all just rows in a database to me"), but perhaps I should have paid attention a bit more closely. I am assuming that all of these substances are available for public purchase, and the people behind the RnD lab weren't eminently qualified in their field.

Good luck to you!

you're saying the quiet part out loud... it's supposed to be the arbiter of civil rights, fairness, and enablement, with the convenient side effect of enriching a very small group of people who actually pull the strings

Github "copy paste closest code snippet based on what i asked for and pray it works"

Lately, the only metric I've been using to decide if I want to work at a company is "is the team competent"?

If I get a vibe that too many people are, for lack of a better word, dumb assholes, I just won't take the offer.

I also worked in insurance technology on the first point you've mentioned. Most of what I was trying to do was implementing the business logic of a worker's comp company that was attempting to optimize risk across different states, and comply with what regulators permitted.

It was all in excel and just needed to be ported to something more modern and future proof.

Professors struggling to recruit slaves in high cost of living areas who will willingly give away x years of lucrative salary elsewhere?

Then explain why people arent tripping over themselves to offer OP veterinary services in his area.

>I want my pet taken care of

Strict regulations don't guarantee this. Additionally, they can be counterproductive by blocking competition, resulting in only a few compliant vets in your area who might still harm your pet.

>I don't want to sue... courts are not efficient If a monopolistic vet knows they won't lose their license or face charges/fines because a court can't take do so, why would they be incentivized to be extra careful with your pet?

If a veterinarian or anyone else has harmed or committed malpractice against your animal, you have the right to present evidence to the police and pursue criminal charges against them.

Very curious that despite all of the licensing and regulatory schemes out there, these things still happen? What's the backlog like currently for such cases?

>I don't know where else to go.

A free market (scary!) would lower the barrier to entry for proper vets to compete.

But because of rent, labor, and regulatory overhead, you are left to deal with an entrenched and disinterested incumbent.

threejs runs just fine baby, webgl ftw and may the great portening begin

I will more willingly use TextEdit or Notepad before I use VS Code.

The reasons for this involve performance, politics, ethics, and UI.
