We don't live in 10,000 sq ft, that's just what my new neighbors are building. A lot of it came down to cost. Right now we're in a large home on a large lot in the woods up in the mountains. For the same money I could have be

Easy, my parents lived here and we were planning on having children soon. We figured we could either live close to my office in a much smaller home, or have a longer commute in a larger home, and be 2 minutes away from my parents for babysi

I have a similar background, but right now I'm just taking a salary as a software engineer and looking to expand that. Have you written more about your path so someone like me could learn from it?

There are 10 homes being built within a quarter mile radius of me here in the mountains of Utah. These lots have stood empty for decades, with one or two homes going up per year. It makes no sense to me why they are all building now. Two of

I love the idea, I imagine it's in a tricky legal area though. And perhaps the people that could pull it off are all profiting off of the US healthcare system well enough to not need to pursue this. I know the insurance plan that Utah

I definitely recommend it for dental work. You can easily find a dentist in Mexico that went to school in the US and has the same credentials. You'll save so much money.

I can install anything I want from any platform/device maker on my Windows computer, my Android phone, my Macbook, and my Linux laptop. Apple phones are the outlier here.

I think the author has made the ever common mistake of confusing correlation and causation. Bad engineering orgs often use Jira, but Jira does not cause bad engineering orgs. Anecdotally, the most frustrating company I ever worked for had o

Ok Mr. Sanders. I meant like literally. Where does the money that is spent meeting environmental regulations go? The money is not just being burnt up. It's going to a different segment of the economy, I'm just not versed in what t

As a "pro" feature, have people sign up for events that will coordinate delivery of food or beverages at the start of the event. Everyone gets doordash-ed tacos and beer at the start of the gathering.

I was under the apparently mistaken impression that NZ was one of the countries where I would have to pay US tax and NZ tax. I'm no opposed to paying more tax for sane healthcare or functional government. But paying two countries taxes

Exactly. But my team didn't think it was a problem, we just forgave ourselves and moved on and I finished testing and deploying early in the next sprint. The problem came when external executives noticed how little we completed compare

I have no problem believing that there is bias and systemic issues in tech hiring. But you're right, looking at the school rankings shows some problems in the logic. "Hooli didn't treat a low ranked school as well as they did
