It's scary having the CI/CD magically figure out what to do for you purely based on the files in your repo. I bet it would save a lot of time if you were actually able to use it for everything in your company. I'd rather wr

I don't think you can "withdraw" money from a company you own. Probably John Smith Inc. would pay John Smith the 100k/year as a salary... a salary which is taxed. But, then again, the Planet Money article says to elimin

Guys this is low-level plumbing work to keep the market moving. If they DIDNT do this, then people wouldn't be able to make trades, and that would cause trust to be lost in the system, and that would be really bad. Someone correct me
