The difference is that the Ferrari isn't going to affect the rest of your life. It's mostly an ego/luxury item. Maybe it will help you make a sale if you're a real estate agent or something like that, but other than that

While your Dockerfile helps you know how a project was built at a specific point in time, it's not going to work forever. Even if the file doesn't change over time, the build it produces will. It's mainly because of installin

Not really. That just prevents them from posting bitcoin addresses. They still have access to all the accounts and can post whatever they like. It's still dangerous. And what about all the real posts that contain long strings?

It seems weird that a designer would focus on "brand values" over a good user experience. I guess they are answering in the context of a working for a company and not just being a designer. I assumed "enhancing the user exper
