I am trying to compare them. I know the software dev might not be as high, but it is directly comparable and can be expressed in USD for easy comparison. My dev machine was about 5k, and I will build another one in another 3-4 years. My t

No Toyota Tacoma…probably the most popular truck in many US states. No Ram trucks. No Subaru WRX, nor BRZ. Really neat concept, but I wish it had more US vehicles.

Their methodology of judging popularity is absurd.

Seems weird to make unique someone else’s work. How does that work from an IP standpoint?

Also, while this is super messed up…how does it rise to the level of the Federal Law Enforcement being involved? Seems like low table stakes for them?

Lots of engineers. 250k is my base starting point to even have an employment conversation and I’m no 10x unicorn.

There are complicating factors in NYC, as well as the fact that the average resident doesn’t pay what it actually costs for trash pickup, so moving to a private model would cost significantly more for each household. (Obviously TINSTAAFL, a

This has generated a rabbit hole of epic proportions. My personal list of “I’ll get around to that someday…” Here I am installing nginx on my server in my basement…brb. I have to go finish that Symfony build of my personal site. I’ll be a m

I pay about a third of the rate and I am in an area that is so close to PGE that I could throw a rock and hit them. It’s terrible pricing, even for the area.

It does just work for most users. They don’t get online and post 2000 word blog entries about their successfully completing their work for the day with no hiccups.

I’m still using Atom, Postman, and PuTTY. Does that mean I’m old?

That is not going to happen. It will create too much friction for users.

Your terms are acceptable.
