@Payoneer @EconomicTimes I am also having login issues, just like the rest of the people in this thread, hope you can give a proper answer on what’s going on, thanks

Thought my parents cared about what my career was. Left the workforce, they supported me. Took a huge L a couple years later, they supported me

Thought people cared too. Didn't lose any of my close friends pre and post leaving the workforce. Met new friends without ever bringing up what I do. Nobody "cut me off" or whatever because of it

Showed myself through a host of these types of experiences that the external shit doesn't matter. Chilled me out so much. I can chart whatever path I want and nobody would treat me too differently. I control my own perception

The game changed because of this. Why strive to get rich? Why work so hard? Why push yourself? There's nothing to "prove" to the random eyes of the world. Everyone will love you no matter what. You will always love yourself no matter what. What you're chasing, you literally already have

Your motivation to succeed has to come from a purer source. You can continuously create fake enemies in your mind, but I have no interest in living that way anymore. Made me miserable. Have to find a deeper purpose. The potential for specific impact, inspiration, or good that you believe only God put you on this Earth to fulfill

@TivadarDanka @gmiller I’d love to read a thread about this! It sounds so deep and influential in our lives as individuals and as a society

Nunca podremos controlar lo que los demás piensan de nosotros. Su visión de ti está influenciada por sus experiencias de vida. Puedes ser el diablo para una persona y un ángel para otra sin importar lo que hagas, y hay que aprender a vivir con eso

La herencia a la que puedo aspirar es poca, no tengo visa de ningún país de primer mundo y además constantemente me veo atacado por circunstancias que me hacen retroceder.

Gané el juego, a puro cerebro, garra y paciencia.

Hoy estaba jugando monopolio con unos amigos y empecé terriblemente: perdí más de la mitad de mi dinero y no tenía una sola propiedad. No pude evitar hacer una analogía con mi vida actual, ya que siento que nací con mala suerte ya que en mi familia no tenemos propiedades…

If you're under 25, and

You want to be a multi-millionaire by 30,

This is the exact playbook you can use to do it:

@daboigbae An interview is like a date. Be conversant about current events in technology. What do you think about ChatGPT? Do you use it? Do you use Copilot? What do you think about scrum? How do you keep current in your field? Do you work on side projects? Contribute to StackOverflow?

As a programmer - share some interview advice

[N @nick_res_real]

Here is what I did for my last interview that I succeeded in.

I found out the tech stack they were using and I spent a whole week building a simple TODO app from scratch using their tech stack, and I made sure my commits were clean and easy to follow.

I made sure to give access to this repo to the hiring developer, so they didn't even need to give me an project assessment, I had already done one for them.

The time stamps on the commit log showed that it was me, and showed the speed at which I did it.

I also asked questions about the company, the overall direction they were headed, and tried to actually find out how I could play a role in moving them in that direction. I took a genuine interest in this company and what they're all about.

So my questions weren't "token" questions, but a whole conversation.

I was very blunt and honest about what I'm about, and I even made it clear that I would get bored in roughly 1-2 years only working on maintenance, so I wanted to know if I'd be building new products for them.

I also made it clear I want to be more than only a developer - I want to eventually work as a product manager, so this also came out in the interview.

I think that shows I'm not someone who's going to stagnate, and no sole contributor with a huge expense attached. I wanted them to see I have the potential to level up and lead a build and lead a team at certain point.

What a lot of people don't realize is that 1. business owners want to grow their companies 2. to grow your company often times you need people 2. to manage those people you need good managers 3. to make sure those managers inspire max value from those people they need leadership.

So by doing what I can to show I'm able to get the job done well, and also be that leader that will help them grow, I think I showed up like a shining star. But, that's my two cents and my point of view.

Hope this helps.

Software estimates are one of the oldest lies we tell ourselves.

We all know they don't work, but pretend they mean something and later feel enraged when shit hits the fan.

I focused a big part of my undergrad on software estimation.

After graduating, I wrote plenty about the topic.

Then, I started working for a company where I spent years researching how to make better estimates. We sold multiple millions of dollars of software using the tools I built.

I read everything there's to read. I could recite Steve McConnel's "Software Estimation" book from top to bottom.

Here is the most important lesson I learned:

People can't estimate software. It doesn't matter who they are or how much experience they have.

Estimating software reliably is science fiction.

And the best part:

They will ask you to estimate something. They will tell you they understand it's not exact. They will promise they won't hold you accountable.

And then they will. They always do.

There are two solutions for this. Let's start with my recommendations for those who don't have a choice:

1. Remove "quick," "simple," "straightforward," "easy," and every similar word from your dictionary. Never use them. Don't let others use them when referring to your work.

2. Never volunteer an estimate. Everything you say will be used against you.

3. When forced, estimate work you know you can complete today. Always estimate with a range: "It will take me 2 - 4 hours."

4. Estimate anything you won't do today in days and weeks. Say, "I should finish that feature sometime this week." Do not estimate future work in hours.

But we all know your manager will force you to give an estimate. Here is what you should do:

1. Estimate how long you think it will take you to complete the task.

2. Multiply the number by 3. This will be the lower range of your estimate.

3. Double the lower range of the estimate. This will be the upper range.

Example: If you think something will take you 1 day of work, say "between 3 and 6 days."

Here is the funny part:

It won't take you between 3 - 6 days. This is as much bullshit as any other method you can think of.

The true solution for this problem:

Work for a company that doesn't care about estimates.

@GrindingPoet You missed a great chance to say ‘wait until September ends’

When you are young

you think you don’t need that much money if you live frugally

then you get older

figure out how the world actually works

understand that it was never about spending the money for yourself

it is all about being able to help all the people you care about.
