OK fair, but let's say that making $250k as a senior/experienced software engineer these days is fairly middle of the road. It's still double . (I managed a team where post-Covid, 3 left to make >$500k, 2-4 round up the $

Your argument is more or less a critique of Swift itself, which is a far more full-featured and "safe" language than Objective-C, at the expense substantially higher compilation times given otherwise like-for-like programs. You&#x

Well the good or bad news is that nobody is paid based on their contribution to society. They are paid according to the market. Bless, or curse, capitalism.

I also think this guarantees the binary to be released has had a full review (TestFlight awkwardly only requires review for any build in a release train, and future builds can be released toll-free)

There is a place between those today, which is Apple Business Manager (ABM). It uses the App Store infrastructure, but apps are not listed on the public App Store and are instead made visible through redemption codes or using an email-based

I agree companies have a current vs new hire agility problem relating to the market rate. It don't think this is reflective of CoL adjustments. For the past 10-15 years, the market rate has far outpaced CoL—yes even in the Bay Area (as

Companies in the private sector pay you based on the market for your skills, not cost-of-living. They may move in tandem, but they are not in lock. If there is a shortage of talent even without inflation, your market rate will rise. Likewis

My pet theory on Bachelor Farmer is that being owned by the Daytons affected the closing quite a bit. It was a hobby of theirs, but nothing they were willing to keep around as a risk (contrast with Spoon and Stable, Gavin’s identity). The o

I also have the opposite view of Minneapolis 10-15 years ago. so much urban renewal has happened since then. It honestly became pretty run down in the core suburban sprawl/white flight years of the 90s. The last decade has been pretty

I live downtown (North Loop) with my wife and two daughters under 5. The crime narrative is strange, and the restaurant scene has never been better. The downtown core isn’t quite the same, but that’s of course because nobody goes to the o

An important difference between art and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin is owned by ordinary people with bills. A market downturn or economic crisis can turn a lot of Bitcoin owners to liquidate, potentially annihilating its value. You just don&#x2

North Chicago, or really any of the nicer parts. Chicago is a weird place for various political and economic reasons (I’m from Minneapolis, so just a neighbor), and was not growing pre-pandemic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that trend rev

In my very anecdotal observation – these small downtown areas don't rely on retail as much as food and entertainment. It's where the best restaurants, brewpubs, and general hangouts are. If there is retail, it's _highly_ diff

by kerbs 5y ago
Being on the north side of Chicago, you're probably already in one of the "move-to" and not the "move-away" from areas. It's expensive, but let's be serious it's nothing compared to the coast – with a

The point I’m making is that software engineers have developed a habit of bemoaning about how their jobs don’t bring them to the peak of self-actualization. But we have, by far, the most intellectually stimulating and flexible careers in th

Sure, but software engineers are at the top. There is no career where the reverse of your example is true. "Our jobs aren't that bad – do you hear what they do to software engineers?"

I think the point is that these are not real problems. My wife works in healthcare, and agree that our "problems" are paltry relative to what they deal with. "Instead of 6-3 your hours are now 6-to-6 3 days a week because we

The wool line made them popular, but the tree runner in my opinion is my absolute favorite shoe. My white pair has survived about 10 runs through the wash, and damn if there isn't a better looking shoe to wear sockless.

On the flip side: I remember scoring a pint of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout for $10.50 (?) At MSP about 4-5 years ago. To this day the best surprise beer deal I’ve ever had.
