No it isn't. I, and many I know, would never trade away 100+ hours at a namebrand investment bank/PE firm/consulting firm to work 100+ hours at a startup. It's not what I would recommend nor is it what many people I know

Gonna check this out tomorrow. I've actually tried to build something like this (incidentally with the Flutter tech stack too), so I'll get back to you on this with some feedback.

That sounds like most of software engineering. After a product reaches maturity, very little feature development is actually needed. None of SAP's clients are asking for AI (yet we get Joule), nobody using Office wanted Copilot. Meanwh

China doesn't report false numbers the way some democracies like India and the US are trying to do (upheaving the statistical agencies), or most autocracies do (outright fraud about the numbers). What they do is a different kind of rep

So you didn't use the API, instead using the online interface, then claimed that it's partial to Chinese interests? Colour me surprised... Of course the online interface will only stick to the Chinese government version, and if th

Initially that's what I thought too. But then the more the war progresses, there's only one group benefiting from what's happening - and it's not the remaining hostages. Also, do Israelis really believe that with the ext

North Korea has no dearth of access to nuclear weapons. They get enough raw material from countries other than Canada and the tech they need from China, Pakistan and now Russia. So no, sanctions have not harmed their nuclear programme. But

The stronger military doesn't matter when NK has nuclear weapons, which deter any "unification efforts". Sure, South Koreans are doing great, but what difference did sanctions make to the lives of North Koreans?

And what difference have North Korean sanctions made geopolitically? North and South Korea are nowhere near a peaceful resolution, and North Korea has advanced its nuclear arsenal significantly, with a repertoire that could even hit US coas

Top 1% of artists have the O1 route, not the H1B route. Tying H1B to salary is imo a reasonable solution for most companies. Thing is, in that case, most companies would simply resort to bringing in more L1 employees.
