A self-emptying Roomba. It's unreal how much time this has saved our family. Well worth the money, and it's been going strong for years now.

I agree it’s their choice; however, there are clearly better/worse choices and that’s what i mean by not handling their own shit.

Basically, I don’t think people (including myself) sit around and carefully consider the evidence or think critically about their own beliefs. For the most part, we digest what we hear and that’s that.

> People can handle their own shit.

I’m not for censorship; just pointing out this is clearly not true.

Thousands of died (and continue too) when they could have just been vaccinated.

It's a matter of resources. They literally do not have the time to track down every single theft. Therefore, they have to triage.

If I had to guess, it sounds like they just aren’t “into” photography; not that they actively dislike it.

And I'm glad they do, I've received a ~40%, ~10% and then ~50% salary increase because of recruiters who've reached out to me.

If you have the skills, you pretty much have your pick of which ones to respond to.

Just curious, why don’t you like the word discipline? Ut seems to work for you.

The simple answer is because they can and people still accept the positions.

Why would they pay you twice as much when you accepted half?

As far as I can tell /r/antiwork originally meant just that. Then it evolved into what it is today.

I honestly wonder if this is a reading speed thing. I don't notice keeping my eyes on them at all.

While I think streaming platforms are still a better experience than cable ever was, one thing that is really irritating is that I have to have half a dozen services if I want to watch a variety of content.

IMHO, the cable model of having all (most) content in one place was nice at least.

That's not true at all. I just switched a few weeks ago for a 50% increase that I did indeed receive "out of the blue". Emailed by a recruiter, I turned them down, they were persistent, and I took it.

I was not actively looking and the thought of leaving hadn't crossed my mind.

The Mom Test is such a great (and quick) read!

They do, however, it's the fact that they wake up during inconvenient hours that's the hard part :)

I only skimmed the article and found a few errors...

I might have missed it in the article, but have you or do you plan on adding climate control?

I've been looking to scratch a similar itch and your post has inspired me to start looking into it, so thanks for posting!

I wouldn't rely on answers from HN. I don't have depression, but I do have anxiety, and professional help changed my life. It would not hurt to get an evaluation if you feel like something is off.

I don't sell anything on Shopify, I just created an App for their app store. It helps people manage their inventory. It's actually stupid simple, but it was a need a lot of my customers were asking for at the time.

Same

Pretty simple Shopify app, sitting at about $2700 after expenses. I started it back in 2013, and it slowly grew but has now leveled off. Pretty sweet considering I only answer a handful of customer requests a month now.

Do you have an example of this? I’m intrigued

I suspect it would in increase their chance of getting an interview, but they would struggle during the live coding portions.

I don't know.. saying "Alexa movie mode" and having my hue lights dim really does make it nicer. Is it a must-have or a need? Of course not, it's just a nice to have IMHO.

I also use Alexa to set reminders, get Roomba to clean specific rooms (or the whole house) and I use it constantly to control Spotify.

You can argue that Alexa is spying on me or whatever but i'm not sure how that's worse than the iPhone I carry in my pocket literally everywhere I go...

I think it’s just preference really. I don’t think Django is better I just prefer some of it’s choices.

For example, I really don’t like that rails implicitly imports stuff into the namespace.

I like being able to follow the imports explicitly at the top of the file. I feel like there is way less of “where does this come from or what IS this?” when working with Django.

I just left a rails gig to go back to django. I like ruby ok but not a big fan of rails.

I totally see the value and understand why someone would like it but I just never could get to that point with it.

I much prefer the explicit imports, loops, etc I suppose

Personally, I feature flag them and hide it for all other customers. If the feature requires extra cost to keep going then I let the customer know the situation and charge them to keep it going.

For me personally, it's just ease of use. I can open a terminal, type `wsl` and it "just works".

I use a mac for my job by at home I have a Windows PC and using WSL has been great to use for my side business/projects.

I have no need for "total control" over the emulation. I much prefer linux to the windows command line and this gives me that.

Mostly reversing binary trees obviously

How often do you see Europeans work remotely for US companies? Is it extremely rare in your experience?

Yes but a little risky for the engineer if they are currently gainfully employed.
