Ask HN: Future Proofing Career (Quantum computing?)
I’m a senior software developer at a small shop. I’m self taught, have played around with most languages and technologies because they’re just fun. Currently I’m the data/full stack guy (generalist) because of my experience with data warehouse. So I do sprocs/queries, c# backend, react front end, anything that needs to be done.
My degree is in accounting and I’ve been an accountant, a data analyst, data warehouse manager, currently software developer.
It’s important to note that I’ve always been an I individual contributor and not a manager. I’ve managed cross departmental projects in the past, with many stakeholders but don’t have any direct experience as a manager. I don’t mind that as I think being an IC has always been rewarding. I’ve worked in construction, local government, health spaces.
I’m wondering if I should get a masters in some stem field to future proof my career. I’ll need to start with some math courses as my accounting degree doesn’t quite cut it but am looking at where quantum computing/engineering may be 10 years from now.

Ask HN: How do you deal with your growing KeyChain/Passwords.app database?
I currently have a few thousand entries in my Passwords.app, and additionally a few hundred entries in my KeyChain that are not web passwords.
This list is only growing with no viable option for some automatic or semi-auto removal of things that I don't need or otherwise don't exist anymore.
I once tried to check the oldest entries and found almost half of them pointing to websites or services that don't exist anymore. (Everything else aside, always sad to see how things die on the Internet, often for no good reason).
Many of the entries were not needed anymore, so I went and requested account deletion whenever possible, one by one.
However, going through and cleaning up even a single year in the past took me several days (!)
Someone can say "disk storage for a few thousand DB entries is cheap, don't worry and forget about it" and I guess it's what most people do.
Still, if you see it as a problem (say, what if your DB leaks one day?) any solutions you can suggest?

Why HN always has the most pompous, snobbish posts appearing on the front page?
I get the posts where people discuss databases and servers and programming languages. I don't get the posts like below, from the first two pages:
-Discarded delights: The joy of ex-library books -Shift Left Is the Tip of the Iceberg -Nickel Plating Handbook -Decisions and Dragons -A Man of Parts and Learning Fara Dabhoiwala on the Portrait of Francis Williams
Are they synthetically pushed to the top to water down the tech content? Is there an astroturfing effort from the posters? Or is there general interest in that stuff and I'm the only one who's dumb?
