My favorite explanation I found on the issue is on "The Hacker's Diet" (free ebook). https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/e4/ The author's theory is that the issue is not on of metabolism, but tha

Do you spend all the money you earn ? My very first objective in my very first job was to save enough money to have a buffer so that I could be autonomous for a few months/year.

I'd argue that survival, reproduction, and keeping your children alive have more to do with instinct and subconscious, and rationality is trying to go beyond this basic movers.

Yes, that's my point. Why would you need an official IDE, since many advanced text-editors can offer similar functionality ?

You can have basically all the "official IDE" behavior you are listing with Vim or Emacs extensions (of the editors I know of). If you are not going near a language for the lack of an "official IDE", you are really limit

I do want the United States of Europe. The alternative is the return of walls, nationalisms and wars, which has been the natural state of affairs in Europe for 99.9% of its history (100 years ago the Ministry of Defense was called Ministry

So you basically agree that if different countries employ similar regulations and work protection laws and have different employment levels, the latter does not really depend on the former ?

I cannot really see any negative in learning a new language, something that any programmer should feel comfortable with and look forward too. It's not like learning FORTRAN (or C, or Pascal, or COBOL) will make someone unable to progra

I'm sorry if I came across as a snob, I honestly value highly the unions contributions to workers' rights (all workers), historically. I just do not see any factual reason for a "SW developer union", since it is a very m

Unions historically were organized by people that were individually very replaceable, could not find easily another job if fired, had limited education and means to fight for their rights and improve their condition. For this reasons ther e

So you would base aids to the less fortunate on the willingness of those who have more to "donate" to those who have less ? How would you go to make it happen, practically ? Since people willing to donate have no real vision of pe

You are unsing a very specific example do draw a very far-reaching conclusion. The only fact that the there are some 20 different languages makes the EU a much less omogeneous market than the US. This withouth considering that each country
