I've tried a few solo SaaS endeavors that have not gone well. I think one of my biggest problems is self-inflicted scope creep :) Need to find something that I can build that 1. Does one thing well 2. Can get to an MVP quickly 3. Peop

Yes, anti-trust laws came about for a reason.

Excellent novel, had to buy it in hardcopy because it wasn't available on kindle.

LOL, no. Low six figures. 15+ years as a SWE. We can't all pull FAANG salaries.

Probably would. I get 6 hours of sleep on a good day. I also work about 12 hrs a day. I do make sure to squeeze in a half hour of running most days.

Modern communications I would bet has something to do with this. Families often didn't find out that their relative was killed whilst campaigning until weeks/months after the event. No doubt this would have started to change dur

There's this long lost dark art known as "tact." Folks who came of age after the advent of social media seem to be completely unfamiliar with it. It's something you use when trying to address a delicate subject whilst m

I had a Honda Clarity for a couple years - it was a great city car and I'll admit fun to drive with the instant torque of the electric motor. But then I moved to a rural area so I sold it and bought an F-150 :)

You direct supervisor likely will even sympathize, but these decisions are made in most companies by people who don't even know your name.

The company I work for is directly (negatively) impacted by rising rates, so I don't expect they'd be amenable to granting raises at the moment.

Still waiting for inflation to hit my effing salary. I know it won't, because we're entering stagflation territory and unemployment is going to go up. COVID was a massive wealth transfer from the lower and (esp) middle class to t

Smells like manipulation of PM prices.

> inflation was clearly caused by injecting trillions into the economy for "covid" Yes, that juiced the demand side. At the same time, the supply side was kneecapped by shutdowns and other "mitigation" measures. Mor

Yep. The labor market can change on a dime. We're heading into what looks to be a very deep recession, I wouldn't go around burning bridges.

I think burnout is easier to recognize in others than in oneself.

This will keep fuel prices high. Corn production is way down this year.

Remote work will make this easier. Imagine getting something like that over Slack. Boom, screen-shot.

Haven't made it down to Homer yet. It's a popular destination with tourists, for sure.

To deal with caffeine-exacerbated anxiety, switch from coffee to wine sometime in the afternoon (easier with a remote job, mind you) :D

When I see Angular in a job description, I think "this is a legacy maintenance job." So not surprised you have trouble hiring :).

$250k ain't what it used to be. And salaries aren't keeping up with inflation. All the wage inflation is happening at the bottom of the pyramid. Nobody is having trouble hiring software engineers.

Not to mention politicians teasing loan "forgiveness" makes me afraid to make payments for fear of being a sucker when the debt is wiped away in the name of buying votes.

I've found it's much cheaper to have an unrefined palate. I buy whatever (whole bean) coffee is on sale :D Same goes for wine.

Almost everyone living a "standard" Western lifestyle could use some supplemental Vitamin D.

I ended up on the Kenai Peninsula. I had bought a piece of land a while back, but due to new construction costs I ended up buying an existing home. So I still have a few (more) acres of trees down the road a ways :) But there's not a

The interior of Florida can be downright miserable during the summer. You need that ocean breeze. I moved to Alaska from Florida. I like FL, but it was just getting way too crowded for me. Here I have some space :)
