I don’t buy this, at least in the short and medium term. Engineers spend a really significant amount of their time (pick your own number) doing maintenance of apps and internal tools are such a time sink so they’re generally super simple. U

I really don’t get all the fretting about drones making kill-no-kill decisions. You’re telling me that you’d rather this was done by a stressed, emotional, tired front-line private? Reminds me of the debate about a self driving car that mig

As another commenter said, $5 is a terrible price. $5 a month works for apps with huge user bases and they just take the small conversion and that makes their business run. And this is never web apps (certainly not new ones because the easy

I assume this is a strategy (the man is a marketing/pr strategist) borrowed from certain climate change advocacy groups which is basically to take up the most extreme possible position and hope to “shift the Overtone Window”. Personall

In the nicest possible way - nobody talented in my market of is going to take three days off from their job to come work on me on a random project - no matter how much I pay them. All the good/driven people are working on stuff. A one-

Okay cool - please take that as the spirit of the question - in this case do you have a suggestion?

Employee. But someone will, ideally, accrue significant equity over time and grow into a leadership position as the company expands. We're funded so it's paid at market rate. I know it sounds silly but as a startup grows, later in

This is a good example of pointless advice - pointless because depending on how you interpret it, it's only either trivially pointless or actually bad advice. e.g. "It's important that the UK government prepare for the collap

Appreciate your feedback. For me, the tell-tale sign that I need to make a big change is because I've never liked any job I've ever had which involves being sat behind a desk. Although my employer is _challenging_, I've felt

You're the second person to pick up on this. I don't really even understand what you're saying. In the UK (and British English) there are professions. Those professions are things like Doctor, Banker, Salesperson, Teacher etc

'Status' is jokes here but yeah I certainly have been getting a lot of my identity from having money and earning good money. Not something I'm proud of.

I really appreciate your comment. I left this out of the OP because I didn't want to to be too verbose but this decision is a long time coming for me. In the last two years I've started volunteering, I repair and sell coffee machi

Yeah lol. Sometimes called Espresso Machine Engineer. Basically, the people who provide commercial espresso machines (usually a roaster) offer the cafes (and offices etc) installation, service and repairs. The Coffee Engineer goes out and g

Coffee engineers (at the entry level end) basically install, service and repair commercial espresso machines. It's probably less manual than a plumber or electrician and more manual a desk job. You work for a roaster to start with and

What's strange about this is that this goes against a preliminary game theory/optimisation analysis of how the system should work. Hotellings Law ( https://www.uh.edu/engines/epi2692.htm ) means that when there
