Perhaps this is not the best place for this question, but as a frequent HN reader, I'm constantly told that Go is great to develop in and very performant. However, it's not clear to me how Go suits a web application with relationa

Yeah, but games are INSANELY fun. Sports are just meh. This is (and I assume you realize this) merely a personal preference. Like a taste in music or food.

You can call any form of entertainment a "waste of time". Even say, video games.

Also, as an FDA certified medical device, the rough rule of thumb (that I was taught while on an internship) is ~5-7 times mark up on BOM+assembly cost. I think the markup varies quite a bit more widely than that, probably along with devi

To add to that, I don't think that having children precludes entrepreneurship or taking risks. There are plenty of counter-examples. While kids are indeed an added financial responsibility (though when they're young, they don&#x27

That's a fairly convenient justification. You "ask for something"? How do you think the provider of that "something" has the means to provide it? You should be thankful that people like your grandfather exist, such

Great list! There's a few of my favourites on here and then some I hadn't heard of, which is excellent news. I started out listening to Startups For the Rest of Us and it is definitely one of the best. However, I feel that more re

As stated by other, the obvious answer is to leave. What is puzzling to me is that you sound like a skilled and confident developer, yet seem afraid of wading into the job market. Are your local employment options that bad?

Bonds and the like (e.g. savings account) are investments, it's just that they have low reward paired with a low risk. This case demonstrates the utility of that low risk. Certainly falling behind a bit to inflation is a minor concer

Agreed that a tanked investment (stocks or real estate) is the likely explanation, but that is my point. A decade ago he was 45 years old. To have the vast majority of his net worth tied up in volatile investments is what I would call finan
