Unpopular opinion: sick days are for when you’re sick, not preventative “mental health” days. Skipping work has a sharply negative impact on your students and colleagues. Contracts vary, but if sick days are different from personal days, they’re not for relaxing.

Popular opinion: when I worked in Denmark, we didn’t get a limited amount of sick days bc as they told me, “you don’t know when you’re going to be sick.” Give people freedom and respect and they will have better mental health. Don’t limit sick days at all.

Today I used skills I learned for leetcode interviews in actual production code. AMA.

I don’t understand the attraction of being able to talk to computers using breezy casual conversational language; I’ve been telling these little digital bastards what to do for decades using extremely precise formalised language and they still get it wrong

Funny enough, not all CEOs or exec teams feel they need to take a pay cut when they decide their staff are too expensive and need to be laid off. Some even explicitly tell you that.

If you work at a company that just laid-off a bunch of your coworkers, at your next all hands meeting, ask your CEO how much of a pay cut they are taking for the next 3 years.

“15 minutes cities” are such an obvious *good* thing that any opposition to them is purely a sign of a deeply ill mind. And how do you hope to walk someone back from thinking “going to the shops should be easier” is an evil plot to control them?

You can create a beloved series of animated movies that are visually stunning with great worldbuilding and action but in the eyes of Hollywood your art isn't "real" until it's a live action remake with an actor doing all the same stuff but worse and more boring
