metaph6··on Trying new programming languages helped me grow as a software engineer
the startup company i work in uses 6 different programming languages, which makes me feel what you argue here. to add, markup languages are fun and contrubiting also, particularly devops developing with yaml and composing Docker components makes you think in a different organizational mindset than other programming domains
metaph6··on Ask HN: Did you learn any new skill during the pandemic years (2020 – now)?
I've become a software developer; before that, I used to be an English instructor at a university, and sometimes I did translations. I have several ideas in my minds, like developing an app that would make me rich. This is basically why and how I started it. CS50 Open courseware was the starting point; then Stack Overflow, YouTube and free code practice platforms followed, and they were all good during 8 or 9 months. I spent 4 to 6 hours a day, excluding breaks and weekends; so, if you have a decent English, Internet connection and some enthusiasm, then you can build any skill in very short time (maybe, this way of thinking is because of being a teacher). I landed first job I applied after 30 mins. Maybe I was a bit lucky, too
metaph6··on AI-powered communication coach
That's one of the rare moments that I abhor what AI might bring out us humans...
metaph6··on Personality tests are the same pseudoscience as measuring people’s skulls
That's a really interesting point of view; what you say is like astrology or such tests are deliberate designs of people (probably, of higher minds in a given society) that regulate or benefit life; but still, I think this'd be rather one of effects of practicing astrology or other non-scientific inquiries than the main cause of them. I'd like to see whether what you claim relies on a theory or research.

metaph6··on Ask HN: Go to mobile and back end stack?

metaph6··on Why 8.5 hours of sleep is the new eight hours
That is true for me, too. I used to sleep 9 hours a day when I was in my early 20s, now I cant imagine anything more than 7 hours.

That summarizes it, thanks.
metaph6··on Ask HN: Is web3.0 or Blockchain tech likely to disrupt centralized marketplaces?
Capitalism never lets such thing happen without making it something that it profits itself first. I think the issue is not trust but exploitation, and such future without a central authority of eco, edu, tech and etc. can be attained ONLY via revolution not innovation
