The trick is don't use dating apps at all. Do social activities. I feel like the major defence against enshittification is being more offline.

I think I know what you mean. Probably impractical for nefarous use still. When he said "chemists can't do experiments on it" I thought "why not?"

Correct: when it's possessive, its form of it is its not it's. Easy mnemomic: the apostrophe is for a missing letter, I.

I agree. When I started my career I thought of myself as a programmer. The idea of engineer didn't cross my mind.

You can fully compile a Lisp program too right?

I'll take a smoke of that! Especially Flex! Damn you got me wondering if I can vibe code a Flash app.

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem just means what it says about mathematical proofs. It implies nothing about AI or human intelligence. Unless you have a good logical argument that it does?

You win. That'd drive me nuts. I reckon I could handle proportional as I have programed in windows notepad! But that space. I'd never know if it were a space or a fake space.

Hard to find sources on what doesn't exist but this article suggests the US doesn't pay tax on unrealised gains. https://www.axios.com/2024/08/23/kamala-harris-unrealized-ca... I think exercising an

It's not that often I see a "just fix naming" pr though. People would rather put up with it in general.

How to move to post-capitalism is the question. We need something money-like to motivate but something different.

If you have an early startup valued based on vibes, and they tax you on those vibes (do they... source...?) then you are not rich. A xoogler who saved 500k post tax is arguably richer in that scenario.

Yeah not so sure. If you are a mountaineer there is a plan that gets you to the top of Everest. There is no plan that gets you $1m/y. Also consider many on high incomes will be daddy's wealth in one way or another.

Typescript is a neat idea running atop a cursed language (JS) Using Go has been more fun. Where fun means less surprises.

Naming things well (and renaming them as new information evolves) is massively important. As important as tests.

When you read people's experience with AI for building/coding I get the feeling we are still not quite there on a lot of things, but when we get there you can just buy direct from Costco (I.e. OpenAI etc.) Sell your AI hot potato

Another approach is to make this a cross-cutting concern using a sidecar like Envoy.

The arbitrage is when you are young and healthy get that US salary and save then retreat home in your 40s and 50s. Stay healthy of course.

I experienced this. The Go/Rust/Haskell way of avoiding exceptions in the language is better than the C#/Java/JavaScript way. To the point I've seen it cause real bugs in production. The problem in Node is you can e

HCOL wasn't the driver though. It is abundance of investment and desire to hire. If the titans could collude to pay engineer half as much, they would. They tried.

Yeah 120k is the maximum I have earned over 20 years in the industry. I started off circa. 40k maybe that's 70k adj for inflation. Not in US.
