I’m sorry that you feel alone and that no one understands. I’m assuming that it’s important for you to find people that do understand, but people don’t always understand especially when someone has unorthodox methods that are likely correct

This is mainly an effort to get people to quit without providing severance. However, if RTO actually meant returning to an actual office with walls and a productive work environment instead of a free-floating table in the middle of a huge o

Of course, I know nothing about your particular situation, but one strategy is to simplify life as much as you can. This could be lowering living costs by moving and getting rid of expensive habits. Lower overhead can be huge factor in redu

Exactly. This is the dilemma in LA. Build masonry frame and die in an earthquake. Build wood frame and die in a wildfire. Metal framing with concrete or other nonflammable siding?

Your observation about shipping fast to build an MVP house of cards is true. However, Homebrew is a free package manager, that likely relies on GitHub due to cheap or free storage for a free tool. My assumption is that lovable is not free,

Sure if you are doing embedded programming in C. How does one do this in web development though where there are hundreds of dependencies that get updated monthly and still add functionality and keep their job?

I don’t disagree that speculation on a critical resource like housing is a really harmful phenomena. Another concern is when people use housing as a store of value for diversity in their portfolio. These long term “investors” are less likel

I’m not implying that immigration is the only reason for higher housing prices. My opinion is that 0% interest rates and loose credit are the primary reason. However, simple supply/demand would suggest that immigration AND 0% interest

To me it seems like the author is stating a true observation, but they are ignoring the pace at which the phenomena is evolving given the technical advances mentioned in the article, especially of transportation and communication. The pace

And yet most large cities have sections of it that are in total blight with abandoned homes, with windows blown out or plywood covering access holes to prevent intruders. Much of the problem is that the bourgeois class wants to live in the

Rails is probably one of the most complete, turnkey frameworks I’ve ever used for web development. When I first encountered it, within a day or two, I was building full stack crud apps. However, what shocked me, having come from a C/C+

Ok. Thanks for that clarification. Here is a more direct and startling statistic that demonstrates the point: Almost half of all software programmers are foreign born (in 2019 … probably higher now). https://www.americanimmigrati

Your application of this rule is misplaced. So I’ll be curious. How did you get this interpretation? It seems that your comment is the snark. The AI spoke the truth. It’s application for this purpose was meaningless and the AI even told the

It does make sense that AI would empower smaller groups, but is important to keep in mind that these AI tools themselves like the LLM models and training, etc. will not be in the hands or created by small groups. Small groups will be behold
