Most countries decided to go for an education system that consistently causes PTSD in a large part of the population yet most ppl thinks there is nothing wrong with it. In the name of competitiveness the wheel needs to keep spinning and crush more and more souls.

My job destroyed my mental health, my ability to enjoy hobbies, my read capacity and ironically my productivity. I used to do all kind of stuff outside my job (programming, making music, designing analog amplifiers...) all gone just to make some ppl richer and no benefit for this society, maybe harming it. So I guess no, I don't find it fulfilling.

Well... It does, I work for an US based company but from Europe, they expected me to be available almost 24/7 and extra hours are "part of the salary" That's illegal in my country, as soon as I mentioned "Illegal" the discussion ended. Also If I accept to take any extra hours there are limits to that and I can't start working in the next 10 hours (we assume that ppl need rest and sleep).

I think is important to realize that ppl need to rest and have a life outside work and not to see workers as a disposable utility, and as a modern society we need to protect others from the power imbalances.

I really need to thank you for that game for me it was ... amazing. I still have the original box and I clearly remember been fascinating about how on earth it was possible to pack such a game in a couple of floppy disks. Thanks man.

It's really interesting. Reading the comments look like the primary reason to not maintaining friendship is mobility. I always suspected that humans are not well adjusted to that, think about what was a terrible punish back in time, exile.

Exile meant loosing your friends and family network and I think we experience a mild form on this in current times (not nearly as bad)

I'd never made strong bounds at work, my friends are the same as I grew up but I'm still living in my hometown (except for brief periods of working outside) and a lot of them are also here, so it's easy to maintain that friendship.

+15 years of experience as a DevOps/SRE Looking for senior position to put my experience in good use. I'm specially interested in cloud/systems architecture or managing a devops team.

We have proof of the contrary. There is quite a lot of reports about ppl killing their partners (children, family) when abandoned and then committing suicide. I'm not saying that you should not stand your ground, I'm just saying that your are making dangerous assumptions, some ppl can be irrational or just overwhelmed with emotions. With micro-scale MAD 2 ppl die, with a large scale one you just need 1 person go crazy and it's over. TBH I'd never believe that the real reason for avoiding ww3 was MAD.

I need to see those "Low productivity" numbers. I worked with ppl all around the work and I'd never seen that, what I see is companies offering lower salaries because the can in some countries, period. Anecdata: My previous team mate was Italian, a guy in his 50, former co-founder of an small Italian ISP super productive, bast amount of knowledge and working for 55k€ so.. please cut that "you get what you deserve".

For me yes, It's really convenient and easy to manage (specially between multiple targets, git integration...) For my parents and family, well they just don't usually change anything so for me it's win-win situation.

Using Linux for 25 years, I never understand the complains about the desktop at least for me has been the best just because I can pick, choose and tweak (I love XFCE and BSPWM). My only issues was pre-2000, before mplayer there was no decent video player for Linux after that mplayer was really ahead of the competition (first one with framedropping AFAIK) It was also rough not having flash support in mozilla but that got solved and forgotten long time ago.

I worked a little bit with windows and OSX. For me Windows is a pain to maintain, everything is just obscure, I can't tweak the desktop to fit my needs and the worst thing is just see how fans and resources goes crazy and I cannot find a reason for that misbehaving. Not flexible at all.

OSX is a little bit nicer for me but still closed, not flexible and for some reason consumes resources like crazy.

We all have different experiences I think familiarity is the strongest factor.
