Same here. Tbh, you're comment just inspired to do a deep dive on VI. Wonder how much more productivity I can squeeze out if I spend an weekend focused on it.
I'm 38 and just wanted to comment my experience matches your comment here. I'm probably 20x or more productive now than I was when I first started. Experience does indeed help productivity (to a point).
I'm confused why this would be flagged? At the time of my post here, there's 71 comments in < 2 hours. It's obviously a discussion point for folks here.
What did part of the submission guidelines does this article go against?
This is literally opposite of me. Would you mind elaborating a bit on the negatives of working on the ML side of things?
Definitely not saying your wrong or that it's better than backend dev (it's probably just personal preference). But as someone considering it, I'd like to hear the good and bad of each type of role.
I've been taking a walk every day since covid. Part of my daily routine now, early as soon as the sun comes up. It's usuallly 30(ish) mins, but your comment just made me change tomorrow's time to 90 mins.
Just wanted to say thanks, ill seriously give this a try.
Im genuinely curious to read more on this. Know of a source for that number or some resources I can try to research on the topic? I just mostly see people reaching for conclusions but see very little data to back it up.
This was a game changer for me as well. Set my alarm to go to sleep, not to wake up (though i set that too in case i accidentally oversleep on an important day)
I find my body gets into a natural rythm. And 8 hours of solid sleep makes my mornings so much more productive.
^ bingo. This is exactly how it's framed in my mind. Mostly it's the same work (In concept. Though it's infinitely more complicated now), just the verbage has changed.
This is pretty interesting to read through. I'm aware of a thing called "ERISA" , where (I think) there's law forbidding termination before vesting (retirement funds though).
Are there any similar legal protections in place to prevent termination based _solely_ on equity vesting?
And to all the comments here saying to just walk away and keep your peace; ie - just take it as a learning lesson. Which learning lesson is that exactly? Sounds to me like this is a pretty typical situation we engineers can get ourselves into. What other protections (learning lessons) could they have done to mitigate what's happening here?
Congrats! Posts like this give me massive inspiration. Like many here, I have tons of side project/toy apps stored in private repo's; that will probably never see use by anyone other than myself. However, some of this code _does_ make me profit (trading bots). Been contemplating taking portions of my trading app and generalizing into a product, but always seem to lose motivation.
Glad I saw this post + thread today, y'all just gave me another boost of energy.
