"It is just business" - this kind of thinking is why we have shitty situations like this. Upwork is a billion dollar company, 12K is a joke to them whereas 12k is a lot of money for an individual. The customer paid Upwork using so

Wait, hasn’t showered in 10 years?? Does he clean some other way? Like a wet towel or something like that? Does he swim? This is super weird. How has he not developed any skin condition, especially if he is working outside and sweating? I c

Solana is centralized, no? If a handful of people can shut down the entire network in a few minutes, how is it a strong network? How is it not centralized?

Thank you for recommending episode 73, it was very interesting. I had some idea from this book https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-of-Economic-Hitman-audiob... but this is even more interesting. I read this book more than

The old man in me thinks why bother participating in the App Store shenanigans at all in the first place? Why take all the stress? Just make something for the open web and enjoy life. But, if no one speaks up, then the situation is going to

Thats a very good way of looking at it. That said, if we need laws for every small thing that should/could be resolved with common sense, where does it end? Plus, we been ultra specialists for everything, when there are a billion laws

This is all good. But the fact that we have reached a level where there needs to be a law for humans to treat other humans nicely - that is the sad part. Not emailing after work hours should be common sense and politeness, instead of needin

"A lion eats its prey alive, so why can't I?" - this is a weird argument to make. We aren't lions, we don't even need to eat animals in the first place, let alone eat them alive. We have much higher intelligence, em

arguing about the cruelty of the method of taking the life is really splitting hairs If you were to be killed, would you rather take cyanide for a quick death or be boiled alive? One can be humane even when taking a life. The fact that we

No worries. Sorry if I reacted strongly. I don’t feel anything about my ancestors. It just feels icky that there are people today, who enjoy chewing animals that are alive. This is not Stone Age and we are not Komodo dragons or pythons. I a

What racism? I have never eaten meat in my life, I have no idea if oysters are eaten alive or whatever. I'd react exactly the same about anyone who eats animals alive, whatever their skin color. There is nothing racist about my comment

In South Korea, the creatures are sometimes eaten alive What the hell. Have we become so cruel to eat animals alive ? This just ruined my day.

Experience doesn't necessarily equal to wisdom or smartness. I have been working remote for the last 5 years, after working in offices for a decade. Guess what advantage the office gave me? Nothing. Everything good I did in office I do

Yup, if only we can work from anywhere... I am flat out refusing non-remote jobs (I was remote even before covid) even though I am just an average engineer. One recruiter argued with me - she was like "remote workers should be paid les

If everyone (whenever possible, obviously a trucker or a nurse can't work from home) worked from home, imagine how much better off we would all be - traffic would be less, people would eat home cooked food, less stress, less office pol

All of this sounds great, but it is nearly 450 bucks!!! I’d like to get one, the only turnoff is the price

Today we are at over 7 Billion. Suppose the population falls to say, 2 Billion or something like that. Is that a big problem? Like, what is the optimal number of people that this planet can support, without wreaking havoc on other species t

They are simply copying software industry. Tableau, Jetbrains... none of these need to be subscription based, but they are. They weren't, until a few years ago. I wonder whats next? My toilet won't flush unless I pay $5 for it, in

lol. Watched any of the previous president’s speeches, for example? Most (all?) countries look after themselves, their borders, their people etc and don’t honestly care about others. Whether this is right or wrong - that is a different ques

Degrees and certifications help in immigration (especially degrees). If you’re just starting your career, padding your resume with certifications might help. If you’re trying to get into software development from other professions, then cer

it's also easier to build new features than to evolve existing ones. Yes, that too endemic problem of devs rotating through jobs every 1-2 years I work as a contractor. I prefer long term contracts, even if they pay less. But the p

Thinking as a user of various software, this is all I want 1. As close to zero bugs as possible, aka, it should be dependable 2. Work as fast as possible. How much time humanity is collectively losing, because JIRA takes its own sweet time

You can make just left (or right) leg shoes in a shoe factory (some Japanese workers already did this), sew collars on one side of the shirt etc. basically anything that doesn’t physically harm anyone should be interesting

The recent John Deere strikes shows this - unity is the biggest asset workers have. If they’re united, they can take on any monster corporation. That is why corporations try super hard to pit workers against each other. Example - providing
