I think trial and error at first. We'd probably find out that states cover most of these redundant tasks and federal employment is a giant welfare grift for workers, and does not benefit the citizen/taxpayers. For example, we pret

Companies generally use third party compensation benchmark tools like Radford, which are total garbage. They base comp off title, and these tools are stuck in the stone age (think 'programmer analyst' as a SWE). When recruiting an

Pre-covid, and this WFH/RTO conversation, the focus was on hating the open office floor plan, which does suck, I agree ... The most repeated anecdote was how you're coding, in zen, and someone taps you on the shoulder or starts ta

I recently went on vacation abroad and struck up so many pleasant conversations with other Americans and some Brits, Irish, and Australians - maybe its cause we were excited to speak the same language, but it was strange, because this rarel

I don't think a tax like this would have the intention you think. It would likely increase outsourcing, massively benefit large corporations who can afford to absorb the fees (and have better accountants/lawyers compared to startu

The entire civil war and times surrounding Marius and Sulla would make an amazing movie. Its a real shocker that Hollywood hasn't picked it up yet. Not that I trust Hollywood to make anything good anymore. I think Caesar gets alot of a

Modern life in cities just equates to spending money at restaurants, bars, and breweries. Only so many events and museums you can attend. Go to a brewery on a Saturday/Sunday - its just young couple with a kid and dog, one gets drunk,
