:/ i think the first step is disregarding the thought process that a "Professional job" is not a manual job....that's kind of an insulting thing to say.

Army, Marine Corps, Wildland Firefighting, Owning 3x Coffee Shops, and now Software Dev for 10 years.....

just saying.


You're the second person to pick up on this. I don't really even understand what you're saying.

In the UK (and British English) there are professions. Those professions are things like Doctor, Banker, Salesperson, Teacher etc. I didn't write the rules of how British English works.


None of these are really factual points. Big Shops are place where you just get stuck being a YAML jockey and bantering in RFCs.


Sounds like they need a good grounded tech lead who is working with the PM to assist them in continuity, and organization.

I worked with a wizkid fellah with Aspbergers...and for the first 3 months, absolutely hated it. Then I realized there was a method to the managements madness for him, and after that I got on board. To this day I can't believe how fast that guy wrote some of the code he wrote, and how incredibly nice he was.

Being a genius isn't always better than being organized ;o)


This dude's blog has more elitist bullshit than a kardashian orgy


this is the best thing ever posted on HN..... going to restart the lord of the rings podcast now.


What podcast is that? I'm just reading the books for the first time.


Not sure which one the OP had in mind but if you're into more theatrical audiobooks / podcasts check out "An Unexpected Journey" by "Samwise Gamgee" on Spotify. Absolutely top-tier audiobook of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.


Wow, just listened to the beginning of chpater 1. This is really, seriously good. Thanks you. I was just thinking what's next for my morning commute...


Thank you so much! I started listening yesterday and cannot put it down. I am not certain how long will it stay up, but it is gold.


Tangentially related, the BBC published a pretty solid radio adaptation of LOTR in the 80's:

(no sign of Tom Bombadil here either though, IIRC)


Old Forest section was dramatised later (though they couldnt get the same cast)

Sorry about that!!! The Prancing Pony podcast.....literally an episode per chapter starting at the silmarillion


Just seconding this request. Any and all podcast recommendations on the LoTR would be welcome.


Do what's best for the situation, WET/DRY principles both have valid application use cases. They should be used to leverage the most advantageous effect for your usage.


I was the same way to be honest. I ended up taking the parts I liked from spacemacs/lunarvim and adding them. I also started doing all my configs in lua, because it's great


This is really nice...plenty to think on.


Me: screenshots => desktop, forget to cleanup for 3 years.


In my experience most companies using leetcode thinks their shit don't stink. So i'll leave this where it is.
