Love this roast haha

> Your skills section reads like a random word generator on overdrive. "Analytical," "Data Driven," "Agile Software"? Are you trying to drag hiring managers into your hellish buzzword vortex? And I see you proudly listed "Proficient with JIRA, Git, Shortcut." Congrats, you can use software that most teenagers learn in their sleep.


It's important to prioritize self-care and manage work-life balance to avoid burnout and finding ways to enjoy life beyond your computer screen.

Transition to contracting can provide a change of pace and allow you to have more control over the projects you work on and the clients you work with. This could give you the time and help you determine if you'd like to stay in the tech field or venture into something different.


The only skill you'll ever need is this: dazzle your audience w/ facts;else, baffle them w/ BS.


Listen to this episode where Will talks about how most farmed animals wouldn't live more than a few year than they would in the wild.

someone please ELI5 and how this discovery is important for furthering our understanding of quantum numbers


The laws governing the strong force are somewhat well-known at this point, but calculations involving them are difficult and in many cases beyond our reach. Furthermore the fundamental constants are not known to a very high precision. Both of these problems can be addressed by collecting experimental data about how these particles behave in real life, both to pin down the constants, and to accept or reject calculation techniques.


It won't improve our understanding of quantum numbers in general (a quantum number is just a discrete conserved quantity). The final paragraph mentions measuring the quantum numbers of this particular particle, namely its angular momentum and parity.


> I know that Hacker News likes the idea that if you work hard enough then anything is possible [especially when there's so many easily available resources], but when it comes to becoming a grandmaster it has to be said that it's painstakingly hard

what do you have to say about this article? https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/200507/the-grand...


The Polgar sisters are very well known. The more you learn, the more you will agree "painstakingly hard" is an apt description.

Hard work will get you there, and in their case, hard work meant they were literally born and raised as human chess-playing experiments.


That article agrees with what the parent poster said, based on my skimming it. That article documents the great lengths those women, and their parents, went through to achieve their mastery. It also indicates their may be cognitive differences between high-level chess players and good amateurs.


> They have absolutely no loyalty to you, and care less than nothing about what is right or wrong, wise or foolish.

This is why one should choose opportunity over loyalty -- have no loyalty to location or corporation. Be an absolute opportunist, doing whatever is best for future in the current situation, unbound by the past.


You can't fly with the eagles if you sleep with the pigeons.

This quote resonated with me very well


Google kept deprecating its use of the phrase "don't be evil" and now almost a footnote in its code of conduct.


As if remaining part of code of conduct doc promotes evil. Please ...


This kid will fulfill the job requirements! 10 years of work experience at the age of 25 haha
