> There’s swaths of competent people abroad that are happy to take your (overpaid) place How is it overpaid? Engineers provide a lot more value than they are getting paid. If anything, people abroad are underpaid.

Just a nitpick but Django is definitely not convention over configuration, you might be thinking of Rails. > At the same time things such as realtime/WebSockets feel so unnecessarily complex in Django and so much easier to work with

That's something only you (or your team) can answer. Does one of them help you solve a problem better than the other? If you can't articulate an answer to that, then I would suggest using whichever your team is most productive in.

I agree. Can we stop with this type of talk? It's a huge turn off, and that is coming from someone who considers himself left of center. Who do they think they are reaching with this rhetoric?

Man, I remember reading this article while I was still getting my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering (a little over 10 years ago) but was tinkering with programming. Made the switch to software and am now a senior software engineer. Didn’t

But you _did_ catch covid so being careful isn't always enough. I don't think it's emotional or unreasonable for your family to require the vaccine before you visit. Also, I'm not suggesting that you will "kill ever

They don’t sound so useless to me then :) They clearly led to the development of skills that produce great economic value.

FAANG is engineers do great but not sure I’d classify the vast majority of them as rich...
225.
by mehphp 5y ago
Yes, becoming a wealthy doctor is rare. Again, the original point isn’t that it’s impossible to get rich by selling your time but that you’ll most likely need some leverage (i.e. in the form of owning a business)

Why the pedantry? Those examples are exceedingly rare.

Apple Watch for exercising. Paired with Airpods, it makes tracking workouts and listening to podcasts very enjoyable.

I was super skeptical about getting a Roomba, but there was a great deal during around the holiday's last year, and we pulled the trigger. I'm still 100% happy with the purchase. Does it vacuum as well as a person? No, absolutely

huh? It's certainly not a pretty language, but it's definitely readable. We use Ruby/Rails and Go pretty heavily at work it's much easier to jump in and grok Go code than rails (written by the same engineers mind you). G

Do you have a phone, a computer or even a relatively new car? I presume you do. You are already being tracked.
232.
by mehphp 5y ago
No, in the case of attaching it to the car it is moving with you (and would thus trigger the alert). Your point still stands though that it can be used like that to find out where someone lives.

I suspect, unfortunately, that the true answer here is "experience".

My current side project is too small to consider seed capital. It's too niche. It has replaced about a third of my income so the goal is to start another project soon.

What is the goal of this "scam"?

You either don’t or you have to sacrifice sleep, leisure time or something else. I have a full-time job, two-kids and a small SaaS side-business and it is all consuming. I either get up early or stay up late to work on my own stuff. The goa
