If Waymo could operate in downtown Boston? Safely, reliably? Then, at that point, color me impressed!

Convention and culture. Hence - I wish that I could.

Question: does CodeApprove place related files in closer proximity during review? I would _love_ to have a class and its test next to each other instead of sorted alphabetically. I'm tired of jumping around all over the place, trying to traverse through my review thought process.

I see you. I see you 100%

Yes, and …

“Calories in” is half. “Calories out” (the amount you burn) is the other half.

Having been on the “nothing but diet” train for long windows of my life I can confidently say that if you don’t pair the former and latter, you’ll end up in the yo-yo cycle. Over and over again. Took a long time for me to understand that and I STILL struggle.

Call? On the phone?

Haha, nah man. That ain’t it.

Sorry for the tone of my reply but - no. People use toast because it’s convenient and no humans are involved.

The simple answer is "yes". Many many many people use Reddit through native apps and not the website.

Point well made.

I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say that many people get into management for the money. My thought is that the motivation, the incentive, is wrong.

I’ve had too many shitty managers in my career to think I’d put other people through similar experiences. So, my switch into management was motivated by, hopefully, making the experiences on my team positive ones

> If you want money, do management.

If you make it to my comment, please - do not go into management for the money. If you want to build, then remain an IC. If you want to grow other engineers, further THEIR career, make THEM better - go into management.

The friends of mine who ended up in management for the money and complain about their reports make me so angry.

I find this to be an incredibly well-balanced and mature measure of one's self. You should be proud that you were able to reach this level of self-reflection and clarity. Many people never get there, so kudos to you.

If anyone from JetPens is reading this(?) - would love to hear about the effects of this article ending up on HN today.

Why? Because I'm about to drop ~$40 on pens as a result of the post, and discussion here.

Echoing other people's sentiments here - love the site, love the density, love the niche'ness, love the information.
