I took a similar ADHD test. It seemed so easy and simple that I always wondered how it was actually supposed to catch me.

Good to know that neurotypical people mostly likely test differently than I did.

I don't see those career opportunities.

AI is really incredible but in my personal projects it can one-shot things.

I'm trying to figure out how I can get to the point where I have hard problems that AI can't solve, at least not yet.

I don't think the job is just writing code. But my career has mostly been about getting a ticket and writing a solution for it. I would really like to solve novel problems, but I don't get many novel problems to solve.

I can architect things but the issue is that Claude can architect things too.

I've been testing this out and I think my SWE career is dead in the water.

Genuinely wondering what value I bring to my employer right now. What value I will bring in a few months when this gets cheaper.

I think we're screwed. I may only be an SDE 2 at FAANG but I don't think I have promotion opportunities in my future anymore.

Scrolling is a bad habit. It's hard to kill habits outright, so you need to replacement.

Step one is figuring out what triggers the habit. Step two is finding a replacement.

Something that worked for me is keeping certain websites to the "big screen" (aka my computer). If I want to browse Reddit I have to get up and go to my PC. I've blocked it on my phone. For me, scrolling on my PC is a little more managable because hey while I'm there and looking at Reddit, I can open up a terminal and update my packages, or check my todos, or put on music...

Labor unions align themselves well with Marxist thought and both are pretty based.

I'm not a SWE because I like money. I'm an SWE because I love programming.

Given that I recently joined a leatherworking Discord comprised of individuals pretty much the exact opposite of my demographic, I believe this is just plain wrong.

My guess would be near half, probably a 60/40 split.

Firing someone for being opposed to same-sex marriage is political in the same way firing someone for robbing a bank is.

Nah, this is just HackerNews. We're Redditors who think we're better than Redditors.

Most people don't care.

Thanks for your response. But I think you've misunderstood.

I'm pretty well aware of the deep well of cuisines offered by various cultures, but my issue is not finding recipes -- it's the time I and effort spend cooking.

My current job takes a lot of time and energy out of me, by the time I get home I'm pretty exhausted. I don't really get any time to cook throughout the week. (Which kinda sucks, I did enjoy cooking)

I rely a lot on quick meals from Trader Joe's or something I can just toss in the microwave. And while Trader Joe's does have some vegan/vegetarian selections like that, it's kinda limited.

That's interesting. I tried vegetarianiam for a while and I found that it incredibly limiting and difficult.

I don't have the time to cook and ready-to-eat or frozen vegetarian meals just aren't a thing around here. I think if I went full veganism I'd starve.

What makes Linux not fun?

You're unfairly extrapolating from your own experience here -- everyone's body has different chemistry.

I have to eat breakfast in the morning in order to feel energetic during the day. But specifically, I need a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast. Anything else makes me feel lethargic and tired.

This isn't actually a sob story, and I'm not saying he's entitled to labor of others. What I am asking is how your proposed system handles a case such as this.

And while it may be an edge case, these are large, broad systems that directly impact the lives of millions of living, breathing people. Such systems must be robust and well-examined.

And I'd also like to ask what a society would look like, that invests so heavily in the education of it's young generation, and relies on them to bring innovations and new ideas to the table, only to cut them down the moment they need any sort of assistance. It certainly seems to me like a huge waste of resources.

What if healthcare was just an investment in our society? Our young 22-year-old gets healthcare covered not because he's entitled to it but because society is invested in his well-being in order to continue existing and improve itself. Because the ROI of the young being kept healthy and able to work and pay into the system is greater than the cost of the ICU doctors and surgeons and wheelchairs and physical therapy.
