Do you remember when you were a child and something held your fascination so tightly and deeply that you snapped out of a trance many hours later? Look for that thing that you can dive into. Then block out the other things. Noise cancelling

There are pockets where salary inflation is concentrating, and web3 maybe one of them. If you're a senior blah blah and want to get paid, it's hard to beat the high margin monopoly companies in FAANG. Once you're in the club

Does this remind anyone of Google+? They had tremendous fake "engagement" forcing people to sign in to Google+ to use youtube, docs, etc. Google is going back to their old playbook. Hope someone is getting a very nice promotion fr

Imagine if instead of facing a judge and jury, you just get labeled as a dissident by one of Google's legally infallible black box AI filters. No longer can you use Email, Maps, News, Video, or any of the internet using Analytics. No p

I use side projects to figure out the next place to put my 100% full time effort. This way the side project does not need the unnecessary pressure of making money, having customers, a worthwhile use of time, etc.

Front end is mostly a young person's game, and most subject to changes in fashionable trends. React and Vue seem to be the current winners in this space. Prepare to retool yourself in these to pass interviews.

Paypal is not a licensed bank. Square, whose IPO was 11/19/2015, only got their bank license in 2020. Why should cryptocurrency be under the purveyance of banking regulations? Cryptocurrency is pulling back the iron curtain and re
