Not in the tech epicenters they don't, but they absolutely do in most of the country. I know an electrician that made 75k a year plus as much overtime as he possibly could want (also to show this isn't just a rare anecdote, the to

Then those investors are stupid. Hope is not a strategy. But more likely is this take is wrong. Also sounds to me like GP maybe missed another consideration: architecting your application in such a manner that scaling is straightforward (no

That plus the unfortunate fact that Rust as a language has no specification, so technically speaking, all of Rust is undefined behavior. It's the only thing that holds me back from taking Rust more seriously. I'm enjoying using

All of these can be viewed as fallacies to another who has experienced long stretches of remote-only work. It is simply one person's take. Why aren't more companies remote-first? It isn't as popular as it sounds like it is in

Startups hardly bother with licensing excel/365 these days, and just pop into sheets. From my experience, you don't usually start bringing excel into the equation until you hire that one sales manager that insists on it, or the &q

Kind of related, but Turkey just as much tries to bury/deny the Armenian-Greek-Syriac genocide over 100 years later. I sincerely hope that any resolution that would admit Turkey into the EU would involve admitting and paying the price
