I'd probably go back to Japan; possibly Fukuoka, Hokkaido or somewhere relatively close from Greater Tokyo, possibly the Shonan area (Kamakura/Zushi).
One of the reasons I came back to the UK was that work/life balance seems to be a bit more of the norm then it is in Japan. The nature over in Japan is really something else, though. Miss it almost everyday.
> GitHub and Gists seems to alot of people's go to place for writing these days. I'll take it over Medium but still seems a bit odd.
IMO it's the lowest effort blogging platform (for people who already know how to use git). You don't have to go to a webpage - just write some text in the editor of your choice.
You don't even need to use something like Hugo since Github will render markdown files properly.
If you're just writing some throwaway content then sure, I guess the low effort is worth it. But if you want to write more than a single post it's probably better to spin up either your own blog or somewhere else.
This is actually from Pastebin which I used to really enjoy finding random anonymous stuff on with the trending filter. It was mostly random logs, stack traces or email dumps but occasionally you'd stumble on an interesting anonymous memo like this.
Did they get rid of that feature or was it replaced by Public pastes on the right hand side?
I've only ever used Pastebin for gaming leaks and I don't think the interface leads itself well for long form posts. Probably just me being picky though.
I'm not sure, I quit checking for awhile then went back and it was gone or hidden maybe 3 months ago, I feel like I did find it but maybe it's just the public pastes at the top now.
There was an episode NPR Planet Money where they had a former hiring manager explain Netflix's work culture. I recommend giving it a listen; it's only 20 mins.
There was a story where a woman who worked herself sick for the company and was on sick leave. Netflix essentially said don't worry, take as much time off as you want but really it was about making her post redundant and moving on without her.
