That's freaking hilarious, I didn't cross $150k until I was just shy of 40 years old. My first SWE job paid $55k. Not in the bay area, though.

I've got some really bad news: Earlier today, Jim Cramer tweeted "JP Morgan is a fortress" https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1634222320398086145?s=2...

Might help if you want to emulate a 65816 for a IIgs? But I imagine you'd want at least a 286 for that.

Went from Apple IIe to an Amiga 500, then later an Amiga 1200. Sometime later "upgraded" to a 486 running DOS/Win3.1 (not an upgrade).

Yep, I have RoR on my resume/LN profile from years ago (rails 3.x), and I get recruiters spamming me - mostly for legacy maintenance/modernization/porting to another stack type jobs. I've moved on, not so interested in g

The software in my '21 F150 is flakey. Every time they push an OTH update, they fix one bug whilst breaking 2 other features. I don't trust any vehicle with this feature not to erroneously leave me stranded on the side of the ro

They don't want peasants to have mobility. Hell, we couldn't possibly produce enough EVs (nor provide the power to charge so many) for most middle-class folks to own a car if ICEs are banned.

I do, although not all the time - I'm taking a break at the moment by going down to just my day job. I was getting rather close to burn out working 12+ hour days a few months ago (day job + consulting on the side).
