Uh, I guess? It looks like you're making fun of your own original argument at this point. In this case, if you use these numbers as an indicator of demand the UK clearly has greater demand per capita. And per capita is a much better

You're right that you shouldn't be a code monkey at 30. You should have graduated to programmer by then.

That sounds like a bad offer no matter your age, health, marital status, and so on. 30K/year, 80 hours a week and (I assume) no equity? Pass.

Right. I'm automatically sceptical of these practices when it comes from an employer/company. Maybe that's just due to the fundamental power dynamic (which I suspect the concept of co-creators won't mitigate, but I gue

The concept of a/theism might be orthogonal or irrelevant, depending on the viewpoint, to Buddhism. By the way "uncompromising atheist and sceptic" sounds like a contradiction, at least in the sense of scepticism as the dis
