Technically you aren’t appropriating but stereotyping (as a sibling points out) which is something that’s generally frowned upon today. EDIT: the rest of your comment is ok, just drop the last bit.

Heh, this is an interesting perspective and Im realizing some assumptions Ive come to rely on. When designing a system or writing code, my instinct is to write it in a way that makes it clear, easy to work with and change down the road, bec

I suspect part of the motivation for this is an environment that expects everyone to "work on something BIG" (as you say) all the time and a hyper focus on the short term. Ambitious people who recognize the game will play it to ad

And debugging when something goes wrong can be really tedious if you're currently focused on another project. That's what gets me ultimately. I get a good colony going, but end up trying to do something just a little bit ambitious

Democratic forms of Government don’t just materialize out of thin air. They start off pretty messy with a mix of democratic and un democratic elements. Institutional capacity is then built and strengthened over time. Iran was certainly on a

Not really, not in high CoL areas at least. Move to nowheretown USA and then probably. But most companies will adjust pay for such moves.

Genuine question: is knowledge on how to do this well known? Without that accessibility, I'm picturing folks operating in EU being unwilling to take the risk of not being compliant and just hosting everything in a single region.

Agreed. This is the same principle that is often given out as advice: excel at the intersection of fields rather than particular ones. The combinatorics generate a pretty ginormous space of possibilities to excel at even for 8 billion human

Would we have had a recession without Covid or the War? It seems pretty unlikely from what we know. Covid wrecked supply chains and the War wrecked energy + food prices. So the Fed has to step in to try and clamp on demand rather than letti

They may do unethical or immoral things but generally they don’t do illegal things. If they do, they’re targets for prosecution. We’ve got this imperfect system of laws which we use to govern the way we live. Its flawed but it isn’t a free

My opinion here is that tech companies are generally a lot more data driven and quicker to move. So I see these layoffs as them taking the possibility of a recession seriously and being well prepared for it when it does happen. This kind of
