Well, symptoms of problems tend to be more evident than their root cause, so commonality of claims is not a particularly good reason to rule out nepotism being a problem. Evidence would be nice to have though. As for me, I've had enoug

Nonsense. If they want cookies, but the only option the baker gives is cake or go hungry, of course they're going to pay for the cake. It's their only option! Doesn't necessarily mean they don't prefer the cookies just b

The strengths of any programming language can also be their weaknesses, so there isn't really a "best" language. Notice a language can't be everything. They're either too verbose, too terse/cryptic, or trade ea

It is impossible to have a thought that does not stem from another thought or your senses (seeing, hearing etc.) To demonstrate: it is impossible to imagine a color that is not some combination of colors you've already seen before. Tra

Exactly, the problem is outsourcing. Whatever you decide to outsource you gradually lose expertise in. Which should be obvious, as if I paid someone to fix my car for me all the time, I probably wouldn't come to be an expert in knowing

Yeah, at this point how likely is COVID-19 going to be eradicated? Even with a vaccine? As far as I know we have vaccines for many viruses which aren't eradicated, but maybe that's just because we haven't vaccinated enough? T

Same here. I guess this is the ethos of Agile? Start somewhere and iterate on requirements/edge cases as they're needed/arise? Though I kind of hate this approach. As when you begin with just 10% and keep tacking on things fo

You're not wrong, but neither is the OP. Sometimes big companies simply buy out startups so they can maintain market dominance - whether they be direct competitors or new emerging markets. You see this with Facebook buying Oculus in 20

I think the problem is actually what Steve Jobs had once mentioned [1]. Companies get taken over by sales/marketing teams as a company grows in size, and the product/customer focused people get removed from the decision making. Th

I don't see your point. Maybe the OP's argument doesn't fit every case, but there's many where it does (e.g. large companies). Calling it reductionist, doesn't necessarily invalidate it...

May I ask which of that you found to be the most difficult? I've been thinking of going the same route, and I'm confident I can handle the paperwork and deliver, but it's the finding the clients part that worries me the most.

You have to fairly compare time frames. If you're going to compare 1935 to now for dollars, then you need to also do so for gold. But regardless, when people say "collapse of the dollar", they're not necessarily saying t

Perhaps. In my mind, it seems there's no such thing as an "original" idea, given that all ideas are made from or composed of other ideas (as that's how you describe them). Therefore originality, seems to be just a new co
