Housing prices and the cost of any good school beyond a select few good public ones pretty much brings the lifestyle down to the same level. My friends with kids and solid incomes live comfortably but not extravagantly considering one lay-o

Sure but do people want to actually want to live in those places? My wife and I both live in SF and we were able to buy a house which would be impossible now, but I don’t think we’ve ever cleared more then 250K max combined in actual salary

If only it had stopped at fizzbuzz as a quick check for whether you can meet the lowest bar for coding I think it would still have some merit but it just seems to have gotten out of hand to the point that ability to get a job now is complet

It seems more akin to working at a game company where the companies take advantage of the fact that so many people want to work in the game industry they can keep salaries relatively low.

Doesn't sound like it would have paid much less and he would have had much more free time, but it seems he was so enamored with working at HP he didn't mind getting subsistence wages as an engineer.

"I’m a woman if that matters at all...". It could very well be. Not necessarily because you're being immediately discounted because you are a woman (though that could be a factor), but women oftentimes do not negotiate their

Can we ever manipulate things directly at the atomic scale to direct the creation of artifacts? That would seem ultimately where everything would converge to technologywise in terms of resource use and recycling of resources. I don’t think

That's mostly been my experience. If you've got more than a couple years experience most companies expect you to perform with minimal direction beyond showing you where the code is. Perhaps I'm just cynical, which is a good p

There will always, or eventually, be a point at every company where you will be tasked with something you haven't done before. At least if you're at a company that has challenging things to do. And for the most part you will be on

"so this doesn't seem to be a fake initiative to deflect criticism". It is along the lines of "what is the smallest change we can make that will satisfy the monopoly challenges". It may even be in good faith, but it

I doubt you have to be a full on developer. Probably along the lines of a QA tester. Some overlap for sure with developers but a different skillset mostly. I think it would be interesting to work as one for a while just to see how the sausa

If you’re not published on Apple’s App Store then you can’t reach a huge segment of the market that would like to use your product. I don’t think Apple, Google, etc. , should be the gatekeepers between a developer and their customers.

I used to work summers out of college in an AK cannery. Some years there were barely any fish and the season would be closed early. Other years there was so much fish the cannery could barely keep up. Unless you're monitoring things re

If you want to live and work in Japan doing something other than CS but also something that could lead to connections for a future career, look into applying to the JET program. https://jetprogramusa.org . Alternatively there ar

Yeah, I wish my failures were nearly this successful :). That said it seems like a harder job to monetize an open source project that mainly works as an enhancement to a main open source project that itself does not appear to be heavily mon

The idea that your legacy is primarily defined by one's offspring seems to just buy into current social stereotypes and doesn't really signify what the service is about as you described it. Other than that I think there might be s

The problem for me is do I want to spend my time and effort learning solutions to leetcode problems or do I want to spend time and effort learning actual development skills? Which would be more valuable in the long run? Every hour you have

Induction heats much faster than a stove burner coil. As for the dial, apparently different kinds of tea taste better at different temperatures according to the variety.

Perhaps but I get the feeling that when people become that rich they suddenly find reasons for why they should keep their wealth solely under their control. That’s why you see them setting up foundations of their own instead of giving it aw

I don’t think anything will change unless a strong class action and/or monopoly suit is brought against Apple and I often wonder why we haven’t seen one yet.

"Those documentaries you watched on your old CRT TV while growing up were showing you fiction." Ironically perhaps a truer picture of the industry was probably the fiction series "Halt and Catch Fire".

Knew lots of physics grads in finance when I worked in it mainly due to them having skills in research and some coding ability.

If you have a good idea now of your target user and the size of the market seems sufficiently big that it could grow to the size you want and if those 8 customers can't live without your product or are at least raving about it then tha
