I think the ability of a programmer to be 10x or 100x or 1000000x depends on the domain. If you are writing a sales tax calculator and need to implement 500 different local state sales tax regulations from a scanned Word document, your best

I hope the scooters don't vanish. I used to get home on the train, get in the car, drive to my son's daycare (no traffic in this direction), and spend 45 min in rush hour traffic driving him home. Now, I get to the train, take a s

If Black Mirror cut out name brand actors and retained their popularity, that means more money for the creators and less for the actors, but not any less for the show. As an aside, what a fucking incredible show that is. Mind bending shit.

People are fixated on $15 because for decades they have seen no increase in the nominal wage for 10 years and no real increase for 50. So, they are more susceptible to the demagoguery of a Bernie Sanders who shouts "$15! $15!" tha
