a good community is hard to maintain.
But seriously I got congratulations for you. Letting go useless thoughts is the first step towards finding the true self.
But who knows? Back in 90s no one knows they need an iPhone. Wish all the luck for your journey onwards.
1. product managers will try to make things dead easy, by setting up simple excel formulas & charts. Taking screenshots etc
2. data engineers will do more technical but opensourced solutions like superset & dbt
3. corporates usually tends to build the end UI themselves. I remember sth that (maybe?) Pinterest opensourced.
I deeply understand how hard it is to build a notebook like this. And there are indeed some problems lying in the collaboration and UX.
It's just so hard to propose those features, given the problem is usually the data itself and a highly competitive market. Popsql does not thrive as I remembered.
I've seen 2 people who cares about the stack more than the task itself. They lose their job way more often than average and is often criticized for not able to complete their task on time.
Some hiring managers tend you quiz you with framework details instead of your learning & reasoning ability. Avoid those teams.
This is the best way to introduce it. Vercel makes it too complicated in the docs where everything is splitted into app/pages, creating a large ecosystem gap.
This is actually what my dad has told me. I feel he's crazy because there's just no way to shit if you are empty. I guess I have to reconsider it...
> Sugar is actually "bad" for our guts bacteria composition. Reduce it for half a year and see the effects.
Do you have sources? I actually watched some doctors saying when you are having a stomachache go get some sweetened (but not too sweentend lol) water. So I've always assumed that sugar is good for our guts.
The exercising part and water part is exactly what I'm missing now. Will definitely try!
And 2L is crazy man. I guess I'm having like 0.7-0.8 per day.
Yes same for me. I've had those powders and they do not work for me at all.
> If you ask any proctologist, they will tell you that you should NEVER sit on the loo for more than 3 minutes.
Do those doctors actually listen to themselves lol?
> Crouching Toilet Stools
I actually have one!! No much difference spotted tho.
> Good luck!
Thank you for your kindness!
It was my mistake that I didn't describe clearly. I've done a colonoscopy recently and it shows nothing bad organically. So I guess it was my lifestyle
People, especially men, tend to be so self-centric, that they cannot make decisions objectively.
For example if there's jobs opportunities you'd like to pursue, think about what they need and build your skills. Just give people a proper reason to hire you, to promote you, to use your product. This is actually harder than it sounds. You may find that your own expectations does not align with others.
I wish I knew this when I was fresh out of collage. Maybe you are just better in this than me. I was more of a dumb stubborn type of young man lmao.
And you can also writing C++ (complies wasm) in a browser.
I feel the same. A normal 9-5 workers will be yelling about remote but once they started a remote work they will know it's not heaven at all. Especially if you try to organize anything
> For me this is muay thai (kickboxing), bicycling, hiking, camping, kayaking, board games, singing, and trivia.
This is what I'm missing right now. I started picking up my guitar again but there are no way to make new friends to play together.
And I also started programming since I was a child. I still remember writing my first game ( a horse gamble one lmao) and sharing it with friends. It will be a cherished memory always, not because of the code. But the time spent with my classmates.
The one who "gambling horses" with me now lives in the Bay area chasing his American dream. Last time I visit him he showed up with his expesensive car. I don't even recognize his car model (I'm not a car person). And a friend of mine waved at me when we hanged out. He seemed jealous. It's clear that money does not solve his loneliness.
Just started learning this the hard way.
> I've been happiest in product development. Your software is part of a solution being sold to a client. A lot of engineering-oriented companies provide those kinds of opportunities and tend to have an engineering culture.
I fount that the so called "engineering culture" toxic to some extend. People arguing merely for their own resume looking more advanced instead of helping people.
And I'm also interested in your story. Feel free to share
This is something that bugs me. I still enjoy coding and making but I know that I'd eventually be leaving what I'm currently working on or selling them. It happened and it will happen again. what is "long term satisfaction" and how to find it?
I started vipassana meditation which is similar to a religional practice. "which is an idea that was hunting me since teen years." things like this unveils during the practice.
And I'm also kinda on a "retirement" to explore both the inner world and something I'm interested in.
Good luck on your life onwards.
I've been doing 2 hourly sessions each day since I came back from a vipassana retreat. One in the morning and one before bed.
I used to do 20-30 min just like you (also advised by some local pratitioners who told me to not overdoing it). But as I experienment further I think it's probably not enough for us in the software industry, where we receive and process large amount of information each day. It will be even worse if some of your friends retire early LOL. Subconciously we're more burdened than those who mildly use their mind each day.
This is really important. You will spend your whole life aligning stake holders. If you can't stand that and started searching for meaning of life then eventually you end up quitting.
I just can't agree more.
Met so many arrogant & immature people in this industry. Including the younger me myself.
It's true. I feel the same.
1. Huge cognitive load to deal with when you started taking responsibility for others code . Even worse if you still need to code.
2. No person skills growth. Managing engineers is not real world management to me. It's way too simple and just chores.
3. No business sense growth. You just implement. You don't face the customers/users. You eventually lose connection to the real world. "asymmetrical amount of value" comes from tackling real world problem instead of "arguing about the structure of software".
Maybe it's just me and OP.
