What's that saying? The best way to get a promotion is to cause a problem and then fix it? Political things aside, it's crazy to see so much of a flip-flop so quickly. Has there been any other behavior like this in the past where

How much of Americans driving to work is because they choose too though? Amazon's 5 day RTO policy is a good example. How many of the people now going to an office 5 days a week would've done so without the mandate? I see the traf

The only mortgages that don't require cashflow are the paid off mortgages. Even if someone has a year of savings, or two years, or three, after that amount is drained, they need cash flow again. So how does one buy a house without bein

I had a bug squash interview today. I found it nice, but also frustrating. It was nice because I didn't need to practice and I knew exactly how to debug the thing. It was frustrating because my personal laptop is from 7 years ago (from

Do you do marketing as well? I'd assume not based on the no JS-analytics so I'm curious what your customer acquisition methods are, as in how they find out about your business?

Genuine question: Is fraud actually something that costs Stripe money when it comes to payouts? The reason credit card fraud for charges costs money to processors is because of charge backs. I believe charge back fees originate from the car

Number 8 on the list is "Radix". When you look into levels.fyi, it shows the salary as $25k. There's definitely some publicly traded tech companies that are missing from the list.

We're not talking about healthcare though. We're talking about advertising. This law doesn't affect the situation you've brought up. This isn't a ban on companies from collecting personal data. This is a ban for Met

Home rates are closer to 8%. The redfin calculator puts a $490k home near me at just under $3200/mo with 20% down. So over $36k a year. I'm in Washington, so no income tax. Let's say $100k income, single person. No pre tax de

Conditional breakpoints in IntelliJ were big for me when I discovered them. It's helpful when there's many iterations of the same function so you can stop at specific inputs.

I've never done a language upgrade. I don't know what it takes. I've heard 8->11 is painful and 11->17 is not. So doesn't that mean jumping from 8->17 directly is mostly the same as going from 8->11? I'm

1) you're assuming every one is on Gradle 6 or higher lol. I can assure you that is not true. 2) Sure, pushing and making the decision are not the same thing. I can complain and persuade as much as possible and it doesn't mean it&

1) dependencies need to be upgraded. for example, not all versions of Gradle support all Java versions. So you need to upgrade Gradle to upgrade Java. 2) other things are deemed to have higher priority. 3) people are satisfied with existing

Even if all chatgpt did was save you two clicks per search, and maybe saved the time spent highlighting the portion that needs to be copied, isn't that still valuable?

Laws exist at deterrents don't they? An extreme example: if we removed all laws, would there be more acts of crime (as judged by the laws that were removed)? I bet yes. Which means, the laws existence does deter people from doing certa

I think "secure" is the key part that's missing here. There's no incentive for a consumer to use a payment method such as this when paying with a bank. The reason is that credit cards come with consumer protection that t
