> 3. Prove it, and I'll give you a raise
This is a managerial failure in my opinion. Manager/company is proving that they are not doing their job by saying that. It's not a place to stay, although most of the places are always like that.

frnkshin | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your current best development environment?
- GNU/LINUX
- No heavy desktop environments
- Getting rid of using mouse, try to be fully compliant of using just keyboard.
- Use a tiling window manager {i3, awesome, bspwm, etc}. YMMV on which wm fits your needs best.
- Use vim-vixen on firefox or qutebrowser for vim bindings
- EMACS + EVIL Mode or Vim
- There are a bunch of Terminal Emulators.. I use terminator, but you could get away with something minimal like RXVT, URXVT, or ST.
frnkshin | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which dev laptop to buy?
What I have is a Lenovo T480s, running GNU/Linux.
I don't do anything fancy, some web dev, and some other dev that I do for hobby (nothing like running a game engine heavy).
It's got the following specs:
- 14 inches, 1440P with IPS panel
- Intel iGPU
- GREAT keyboard and no numpad
- webcam in the right position (which I rarely use)
- no OS X (although you /could/ probably run Hackintosh which I wouldn't recommend)
- I would like it to be powerful enough for 5 years
- Great cooling system in my opinion (< 60 deg C under decent load)
If OS X is a must, you should probably get a native MBP.

IIRC if you build it from the source, you have no access to the package repo that's offered by MS... What you can do is to manually install any packages that you may need.

IBM DataStage (Shit-age)
frnkshin | 7 years ago | on: What's the best keyboard and mouse you owned?
HHKB Type-S and Logitech G703.
I absolutely love the Topre switches on HHKB Type S because of the silence it provides and the how it feels to your fingers.
