The time has long passed since the “inevitable” things should have come into existence, for example universal basic housing. What happened instead of the advent of it is something to behold: somehow instead of supply being provisioned in re

Does anyone know about the time horizons for executive stock compensation at BigTech? Something has to explain the lack of long-term strategy.

No it's not. HTMX is a backend tech; it hinges on moving your presentation logic from the frontend into the backend, hence the whole hype about it supposedly obviating React.

- Why would you pick $backend technology? - Because someone told me frontend was dead.

Probably because the news of frontend's death has been overstated.

The M2 money supply has increased by roughly 48% since 2020. There are probably social consequences to this (as it would be strange if there weren't). Perhaps we are feeling the need to try every possible idea to see if that is the thi

Yes but that representation can be over-applied and misleading. For example you can roughly estimate the price of the entire earth. What does that number mean though? Well, nothing, really.

Didn’t you just say your landscaper gets fired every year? That would mean they’re not “truly skilled.” So why hire them in the first place if they’re not skilled? Originally you were assigning zero significance to the act of being fired, n

Your snow plower and landscaper don't get judged for having 5+ different customers in 5 years. They don't show up in ATSes as job hoppers.

That’s actually something I agree with; I was making that statement as a challenge to the parent comment because it seems to be what they believe.

Obviously fields like oncology and genetics are going to have major disruptions. What sort of event would trigger someone needing to redo their entire 7+ years of medical schooling?

Doctors have to undergo minor professional development refreshers — not replace their entire education. There is a reason we educate early in life; it's hard to retrain the old (and expensive or even approaching impossible).

Most of modern society is new in history; what is that supposed to say? If you are making the point that it's unproven and fragile, that would be a good point and actually one that supports "woe is me" because all of it could

That would not run counter to the popular (whether true or not) idea that by using functional programming languages you filter for a higher quality labor pool / applicant pool.

Drudgery is not as much drudgery when there is variety. I think a lot of people who see their work as "drudgery" actually just are forced to do one thing and never even think about doing a second thing during their day.

There are a lot of things to hate in the Web3 world. Lack of back button form resubmission or redirect loops is a strange thing to dislike though.
