This sounds like a petulant move. Musk has been acting like a child lately. The government is after him, the libs are after him. Everyone is just STIFLING his freedom to do whatever it is he can't do. I bet he is doing this out of spit

The "query in a loop" thing happens a lot. This is the danger of hiding databases behind magical frameworks and ORMs. Some developers don't understand the basic idea that a single database query with execution time and the

Writing in code is the same as writing in your native language. You are NOT writing it for the machine - you are writing it for the others like you. You are telling a story, and yes, it's hard.

The hardest job as a software engineer is to come up with simple and obvious solutions to a hard problem. Or you can stitch together eight different cloud services and let someone else debug that crap in prod. Not to mention subpar perfor

The world in which the majority of citizens is financially literate does not exist, and "crypto" is not going to magically fix it. This libertarian free-for-all paradise will result in scores of ruined citizens, who then will have

And the solution is? Have a system where I can lose ALL my money by forgetting a password? Or when a crypto exchange goes boom and my life's savings are not FDIC ensured? I am sure your friend could get back in into the bank account.

Yes, this is why I endlessly respect the people who are successful and who, when asked, claim that the key to their success has ultimately been luck. (Example: Fareed Zakaria, in a podcast once)

"There are a few people in the world who get locked out from banking by an oppressive regime" is just another rather unconvincing argument for crypto. Yes, let's upend the world's financial system, evolving and improving
