  • I would say it’s more like: “How can I do X?” “Here are some reasons you can’t do Y.”

    The answers should have been “Here are some reasons doing X is hard, but here’s an attempt at it anyway and also some more robust alternatives to doing X.” That would have been an excellent answer. (If you go down far enough you do start to see things like this but they’re hindered by people still responding that you can’t do Y or downvoting because they don’t understand what’s happening.)




  • Once, i had an entire day double booked (plus multiple hours before and after my working hours) and one hour in particular was quadruple booked. People were shouting at me all day about how I wasn’t showing up to their meetings, but like… you could see my calendar when you put those appointments on there. That’s kind of on you.

    I got a talking to from my boss but they didn’t reprimand me or anything, it was just “managing these kinds of things is an important part of the job”. Eh. They did not pay me enough.












  • Bill Gates was Bill Gates because he had rich parents who got him access to millions of dollars of computer hardware at a time when that was much harder than today. If you’re not Bill Gates it’s on your parents, imo.

    That said, 100 stars is great. Keep it up! That’s 100 people who looked at the stuff you’re doing, evaluated it using their expertise, and decided it was good enough work to call attention to.
