tytytytytytytyt··on Ask HN: What to do if I’m about to lose my job to mental health issues
Yes, one theme being people being sanctimonious and echoing the advice I already gave: "but as far as health goes, get to a psychiatrist immediately"

> definitely came across as sanctimonious to my ears. Mea culpa.

If you'd provided the details to begin with I would have been able to say something more targeted to your specific situation than just 'better lifestyle'. But that's one thing it sounded like you might need based on what you'd said at that point.

Asking him for more details isn't attacking him. How is that hard to follow? No, I'm not implying whatever baloney you feel like inventing here.

> What details could you possibly want that he hasn't provided yet?

The ones he provided after I asked him for more details. Are you even reading the thread? Did you not notice that he provided them after I asked for them?

> Is this exchange really all you can offer to people in need?

No, other people have different problems. But at least I'm trying to help which is more than can be said about you.

> But to your comment, I feel like I gave all the details there are.

Obviously not, or I wouldn't have asked. And then you go on to mention the details that I asked about...

> There's no need to get sanctimonious to someone who's already down.

I was asking for real details, since with the level of issues you seem to have, it seems like you need to do more than just put bandaids on things. Asking for real details when you come here with a serious problem isn't 'being sanctimonious'.

> First I want to apologize for only replying to a comment like this.

If anyone's been sanctimonious, it's you.

What 'few mishaps' wiped out your savings? You say that casually, like you forgot to return a library book on time. Why didn't you have much to begin with? Those are 2 giant red flags.

> Does anyone have suggestions?

Develop much better lifestyle habits. It's hard to say much else since you're hiding all real detail from us.

I liked it more than plain Javascript, but it still feels lacking compared to other languages.
tytytytytytytyt··on What if JavaScript wins?
If you say so. :|
tytytytytytytyt··on What if JavaScript wins?
Nice straw man argument. You don't need to be a special genius to be proficient with 2 languages.
tytytytytytytyt··on What if JavaScript wins?
Ok, what about something more mainstream than Haskell, like Java?
tytytytytytytyt··on What if JavaScript wins?
> the overarching benefit of being proficient in modern JS and sorrounding tooling is that I can use the same language for my whole stack...and spend more time thinking about the product and business

As someone who's proficient in multiple languages, I've never had issues switching between 2 languages. Am I missing something?

Why would you want to do that? That's less succinct than foo(item1). What are you really asking?

tytytytytytytyt··on Ask HN: Why are big companies so much less efficient?
> Is it that the inherent size and complexity of a codebase grows exponentially as people grow linearly with time?

That's certainly a large part of it, and probably a large part of why no one likes maintenance.

You also have more managers, who get where they are in no small part by avoiding risk, who can derail re-writes in favor of more patching of things, possibly leading to more long term code problems.
