ldasj | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where Is the C Community?
Most C developers I have met are not very active online. Talking about their work in person is also a mixed bag. Maybe they just don't like talking about it.

By top talent do you mean FAANG employees, well-known experts/researchers or maybe people like Max Howell? What qualifies as elite?

I don't see how paper bags aren't better. Both plastic and paper require processing. The difference is that paper isn't toxic when degraded, plastic is.
ldasj | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Verbally abusive employer, what do I do?
I'm curious, did you notice this toxic behavior in other areas too, or just IT? To me it seems like IT has a higher percentage of assholes.

Are you actually making mistakes or does he single you out for no reason? If he is unhappy with your performance, you can ask for reassignment to something you think you would be good at.
If he is doing it with no real reason, he probably just wants you gone.
ldasj | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can software engineers help stop climate change?
Killing the current web frameworks would probably do it. Gigabytes of RAM and constant processor time for basically text and images. I don't understand how all this bloat is accepted and encouraged.
ldasj | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can I convince a team member to try TDD
Try evaluating pros and cons for TDD on your current project and make a decision together based on them.
Currently you're just proselytizing and thinking about only what you like and how you want to work.

Also, not sure what's with all the panel interviews. Everybody and their grandma wants to pitch in on the new guy.
