There's a wide blurry line between 'not fixing what isn't broken' and 'refusing to invest in modern upgrades' that is kind of a problem in large industries.

reasons i hate software interviews
So apparently EACH individual software engineering interview is like a mini-LSAT? with dumb convoluted puzzles that aren’t actually relevant to the skills you use in the real job or even real life?? if you’re going to make people do this at least make them only do it ONCE, smh

biggest flaw with USB-C
[Guy who invented USB-C]
What if there was a technical standard where the connector would physically fit but you could never be sure whether the cable would work with whatever device you plug it into?

Great discussion thread here
I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have:
- Good pay
- Good culture
- Good growth opportunities
If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.
So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.
Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
