On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff.

Me having quit my tech job a few months ago to pursue a meme career. I really hope this works out or I may be screwed. I had 1 promo and 3 yoe as a codecel tho, so maybe I'd be okay?

3yoe is a bit low tbh, should ideally be 5+ to be safe.

I miss busting my manager's balls when asking for a raise so much it's unreal. I'm terrified my single hire will learn his value because I've invested a lot in him and he's smart as frick. It's only a matter of time until he reads that one Patrick McKenzie blog and fricks me.

This is not to pick on you but your comment is a microcosm of why the industry is fricked right now.
You took on a junior programmer and trained them until they are skilled and now you dread seeing them jump ship.
Other companies just never hire juniors anymore because training them costs money and time. They just have bidding war on senior devs
I'm not sure what the solution is. I wish you success on your business though.

What the the chaebols do.
Look for talents in high school and sign them to a low-paying prestige contract to pay for their college and indenture them to the company for a decade after. But since each chaebols have their own system and culture those frickers basically cant leave at that point because they have been groomed to be specialized and
damaged goodsa key that only works at their original chaebol and no other chaebol.Jump in the discussion.

what kind of memes do you make?

Honestly probably too cringe for dramatards, but maybe you'll like this since it's sort of about Brazil
The past month has been a series of flops as I've tried different things in hopes I can get faster or find a consistent formula. That's all failed tho so if you have ideas let me know lol. Otherwise I've just have to hope I get lucky with another big hit soon and then that should carry revenue for a month or so.

Yeah I made like $11k last month making doge brainrot lol. Which was more than I was making as a codecel (I made a little over 100k a year when I quit although I was expecting like $30k cost of living increase from rto which made quitting make a lot more sense) But it's down a lot rn since I haven't had a big hit in a while and those are what drives views to everything. I'm thinking about trying some new channels since these doge videos take me forever to make. But I'm scared to see if this being successful was a fluke or not lol.

Unfortunately I think I branded myself as too generically family friendly. I doubt most of my audience even knows what that meme was about. Although I could probably make something about the podcast being one of the most popular ones right now as I bet most of them have heard of the meme even if they didn't "get it".

I would have held out for a severance but I heard severance packages are getting reaaaal barebones lately.

Unfortunately I don't think that would have happened. 3 other people left the team around the same time I did. I was also frequently interacting with customers as third level support and was like the only person with knowledge on some parts of the product. One dude on my team had been intentionally slacking for like the entire time I worked there and he was never fired and eventually just left on his own shortly before I did. If I screwed stuff up intentionally I think I would have just been fired.
