    Are programming interviews draining entrepreneurial spirit?

    My current role is at a no-name company which had over 300 applicants. I have a CS degree and a decent GPA but it was the nearly 500 algorithm questions I've done over the last few years which helped me get through the multiple rounds of coding challenges. I also got offers from places with 0...

    Are programming interviews draining entrepreneurial spirit?

    Can you imagine preparing for months or even years for an interview? This is the current reality many software devs are finding themselves in as they prepare for algorithmic coding interviews. It started with just the top tier tech companies but now most others are following this practice...

    WFH due to Covid = More time for your fastlane projects

    MINDSET 
    What makes you think that? Only a handful of companies will be going all in on remote. Those that aren't are likely staying quiet or pretending they aren't sure. People are easier to control and more invested when they're physically in the office. That's why I believe that all this talk of WFH...

    WFH due to Covid = More time for your fastlane projects

    MINDSET 
    I don't believe that the current WFH situation will last but it's really opened my eyes to how deeply enslaved most people are. They go to school and load themselves up in debt and then go work in crowded cities with expensive rent. The current pandemic has shown that all the extra energy to...

    Been here since 2017, going from trucking to school

    INTRO 
    This is the path I took. My thinking was that I didn't know if/when I'd succeed on a fastlane path so I wanted to have a slowdown backup option until then. Now that I've done the degree and have started an okay career. My biggest piece of advice, especially for something related to software...

    My side project is trashing my reputation

    MARKETING 
    I made a little dating app for a super conservative religious group. As you might imagine, it did not end well. It's received bad reviews and the top review with 21 upvotes falsely accuses the app of stealing people's data. I also have good reviews which are also more recent but the negative...

    Advice on carving out my own space in a small but growing niche?

    I have discovered a niche variation of a common (physical) product. Due to the nature of the product, I think it would be valuable to create a forum for users of the product in my home country (Canada). In addition, I think this niche product can and will expand to a new demographic of people...

    A video game to prepare for coding interviews

    I had this idea to build a video game (as a solo developer) that would have in game coding challenges. Initially it seemed like a good idea but after the initial excitement wore off, I started to see some serious flaws. I'm mainly writing this to get my thoughts out and would appreciate any...

    Is it worth giving up a car to live closer to work?

    I'm mainly interested in doing this to get the additional time to work on my project. If I live less than 5 mins away (on a bike), I could get about 1 hour of work done from home during lunch. If I were driving and I give myself half hour to get to work, I would be saving about 50 mins from the...

    Big corp vs Startup if your end goal is to work for yourself?

    Currently pursing a Comp Sci degree. I've heard that the cons for working for a big corp are limited opportunities for growth and slower pace of work. Would it be correct to think that this type of environment would be better if one wishes to use their spare time to run a side business of their own?

    What Will Boom? - 2018-2023

    HOT! 
    If you know some stock is about to experience huge growth soon, would you post that knowledge on a forum full of stock traders? Few people saw the internet coming, the app revolution or the housing crisis. Even those who did see the big changes coming weren't sure about them. I personally...

    Are We Living in a Simulation?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It should be possible today to build a fairly elaborate ancestor simulator. It could cover the entire world and have the most cutting edge graphics, VR support, advanced weather, day/night circles, amazing AI, physics, etc. Yet no one has done that...why not? If we wanted to learn about the...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    Switched to a flip phone yesterday as a personal experiment. Not sure yet if this is going to be a good idea but I think that being disconnected from the hive mind is worth some minor inconveniences.

    Alien Visit

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My guess is that most intelligent aliens capable of space travel discovered computers and within a few hundred years had replicated their intelligence in software. Maybe then the machines took over, or maybe the machines allowed them to create a weapon which was too powerful for them to handle...

    The Best Image you will See today

    MINDSET 
    Every time I have to shop on the website of a retail store, even if it's Wal-Mart, I'm prepared for frustration and disappointment. Most retail stores still don't take their online presence seriously.
