I guess I'm going to be the first to say it. This project is bad ass. I think you are on to something here. Look forward to reading the comments. Great job on your prezo.
jwogrady··on Ask HN: Feeling burned out at an early stage in my career
Take it from a complete stranger, COVID did change the, "should I go to schools or start working" calculus. Things have changed since you made your decision, so it might be time to reevaluate.

If I could assign you a task, it would be to seek, find, and interact with a group(s) of people you admire and respect. Being a little older and wiser now, you would absolutely crush it if you decided to go back to school.

Were there other options besides starting work right at of high school? I imagine being consumed by a job when your HS buddies are excited about graduation puts things in perspective. Is anything holding you to a job? Nothing creates excitement like a bold move.
jwogrady··on Donald Knuth on work habits, problem solving, and happiness (2020)
Excellent suggestion. I enjoyed it. Just one question. How the hell does anyone read all that in 20 minutes?
jwogrady··on Why companies move off Heroku (besides the cost)
Yeah, but who we protecting? Don't readers want a rigorous debate? Are we pirates or diplomats?
jwogrady··on Putting Ideas into Words
It's a yahoo cert. The padlock says "certificate is not valid" while the cert details says "This certificate is valid".

I guess that means... "Technically it's good cert, but the Google Chrome dev team doesn't like Yahoo."*

*not that I disagree..... but who is making these judgement calls?

jwogrady··on Twitter’s new CEO announces major reorganization
Avoiding the humiliation of senate subpoenas seems to be motivating the most recent rash of FAANG restructurings. No founder, deserved or otherwise, would willingly subject themselves to the indignation of senators making names for themselves. Google saw the stitches on the fast ball and had Pichai prepped and ready go, but apparently Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Zuckerberg were far more confident, and the results of their testimony spoke for itself.

If Facebook is dying because it is becoming irrelevant why are we all talking about?
jwogrady··on How WhatsApp enables multi-device capability

jwogrady··on Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
Amen.
jwogrady··on Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
Once an employee has built a report with their team, knows their roll, is fully trained, properly equipped, and demonstrates proficiency at their job..... then I'm cool letting staff work from home. I suspect Google has the leadership, supervision, and infrastructure to do all those things at a large scale. Unfortunately for my crew I find brining everyone in is waaaaay more efficient....carbon emissions aside.
jwogrady··on I wasted $40k on a fantastic startup idea
The author brilliantly makes the case against single payer healthcare. Bravo. Job well done, sir.
jwogrady··on A Publishing Industry Mystery Is Unraveling
When will creative folks begin to realize that all art is derivative, and that you can't sway courts with statistics.

Completely turned off by the Drupal project. Don't you people have code to write?
