I have a masters in CS and have been working for a decade at highly-regarded companies. I've never heard of SOLID and couldn't define closure precisely.

Do you have a link/reference that explains this?

From Wikipedia: > Ballmer was offered a salary of $50,000 as well as 5-10% of the company.[17] When Microsoft was incorporated in 1981, Ballmer owned 8% of the company. > While CEO of Microsoft in 2009, Ballmer earned a total compensa

Thanks for the details, this is very interesting. > Resource costs are around 200k a year, and this is fairly common among the staff. That certainly explains everything. I'm curious where that money goes? If you're teaching a c

Even if those number were reality, OP's claim that "I manage my money quite well" would be nonsense. If your after-tax income is $250k and you're spending $130k on loans and medical expenses, it would be foolish to sign

If you're paying out of pocket, sure. But you can get a very good family insurance plan for $2k per month that should cover everything.

What does age adjusted mean? And I think only ~15% of FANG SWEs are at sufficient level to be in the top 1% of income.

> non-negotiable expenses are high. You're going to have to go into a lot more detail if you want anybody to believe expenses that high are possible.

I do think there's an interesting question about whether income or wealth is the defining characteristic of upper class. Top 1% wealth is around $10m, which your typical 30 year old high-income tech worker won't have.

Which part? Tech workers being in the top 1% of income/wealth? Or the definition of upper class?

Yes, UX should be at the core of any PM's job.

UX research isn't just asking people what they want. If you do it right, it can help you assess the risk and reward of the new paradigms you're considering.

I don't think that quite applies. Technical debt comes from making choices that help you in the short term but cost you more in the long run (i.e. you're paying interest). Needing to move off a deprecated tech stack wouldn't

If there was, you'd probably be paying a lot to hold the position for 30 years.

This is the first example I've seen in this thread that I would consider beautiful. The rest are neat tricks, but quite difficult to understand, so I wouldn't be happy to see them in production code.

Maybe by a strict/legal definition of scam, but you can easily imagine taxes that fit colloquial usage. Anything where the government is dishonest about the motivations behind the tax or how it will be used.

It's not obvious that an 11 year old comment from somebody who's not really involved in the community anymore should be taken as gospel.

How long has the lottery existed? Hopefully in a reasonable amount of time, it will cause the differences between good and bad public schools to disappear?

All US employees get 21 days. Not amazing, but it's better than the starting level for many companies.

Really? I thought they were 21 days for literally everybody. What did you get?
