Tech has an abundance of people who really need to be right in an argument. I've had this same argument with a developer at a client company of mine. Just couldn't let it go when I said I was comfortable with the Jetbrains suite and used their language specific tooling instead of VSCode.

Hacker News has a monthly Whose Hiring thread which has a remote tag in the template. There's a website that pulls all the comments out and makes it into a job board of sorts but I can't remember what it is.

Sorry brother, the hive mind detected wrongthink and you have been punished for it.

I've done that. Was looking at the radio to change songs while going through an intersection. My brain was on autopilot and I followed a guy running a red turn signal. Just about had a head on crash with the straight through traffic ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Oooo old school forum flame wars. Is it weird that I miss that format? Might just be nostalgia, non-threaded forum arguments are kind of annoying to skip if you want something else out of the thread. It was always fun opening a long thread at the end and seeing the final dregs of the fight play out, then backtracking to find where it started.

This but DotA 2 for me. 6000+ hours and I'm still trash.

As someone who started and still works in a co-op, it's because it's hard. Banks don't understand worker coops and won't lend money to you without a real person to attach the risk to, which means founders have to take an enormous risk which it can be hard to compensate them for. The legal structure isn't common so you are limited in the lawyers who can set one up for you. Others have mentioned the cost problems - I started a software dev coop so we didn't have a large capital outlay but it did cost nearly 10k just in setup costs.

It took a lot of work to get to where we are, with little supporting resources. In contrast, I started an LLC in half an hour and $150 registration fee to the government. So no, it not just "what people choose".

It was either that or a C++ programmer. Those template error messages are gnarly.

Sounds like a job for logrotate. It does more than just log files, kinda average name I guess. Checkout this server fault q&a for more details. https://serverfault.com/questions/196843/logrotate-rotating-non-log-files

I had a non-binary friend who wasn't just a tomboy or a fem guy, they had a bit of a cycle back and forth between being full guy mode and full girl mode over the course of six months. I don't personally identify as NB but I also have a tendency to lean in and out of my masc side over time.

"Someone who doesn't want to be 100% a man or 100% a woman. Imagine gender wasn't a single choice, but a slider from 100% fem to 100% masc, and you could pick where it sat each day."

I'm missing stuff but that's how I would explain it to my nana.

Obviously!

I didn't put too much in my intro as I don't think I'm all that interesting and I didn't want people to think I was getting a big head. Short version of my relevant bio:

  • I'm a 15+ year veteran of the software dev industry
  • I run a small contracting company (a sub-5 person cooperative)
