sure but if those capabilities don't turn into liquid assets, they're not good for much (in terms of survival). I won't be really happy with my bankroll until it breaks 6 figures in super conservative investments, that way I know if things

Presumably you saved up at least 50K from that job, which means you have bought the security of knowing you won't starve, which is a great happiness if you realize how bad life can get. if you didn't save money, well.............

it's amazing how you never hear anybody who grew up poor talking about how money doesn't buy you happiness.

there's all sorts of different kinds of reading. it's not even particularly challenging to scan text at 100-150 pages per hour. That's about 30s per page, you can do an awful lot in 30s if you set your mind to it. I filter things in stages

Yes. Absolutely correct. I worked at a semweb company for years, it's all about making a small functional ontology for a particular purpose. Of course, that leads to the question : is that ontology actually relevant or is it just important

First off, write high quality code. High quality code requires less maintenance. Keep everything separated out properly so that clients can do some updates themselves (e.g. update the text here or change that color to this color) and make s
