Sure I see that. What I don't see is how automation will make this variation larger for skilled workers like programmers.

Creativity in arts and creativity in engineering and other skilled labour are vastly different. You don't need to be a Botticelli programmer to provide value to your employer because being famous or unique is not how programmers provid

I don't see why programmers, chemists, researchers, engineers, etc. compensation would follow the way of athletes. Those specialists are paid for skilled use of their time, they are not paid for being famous. If you have more skills, y

I don't think people do repetitive, automatable jobs because they can't do any other kind of job, but rather because our current market conditions make it a good choice for them. And by market conditions I mean everything from w

SSR is only easy if your frontend is written exclusively in SSR-compatible libraries and your backend is node.js, and even then you need to adjust your frontend code for SSR because node.js doesn't have all the browser APIs that your c

I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet, but from what I've read the extra delay is sub 100ms. Caching or pre-rendering the HTML output for bots in advance is an option too depending on the particular use case. I would certain

SSR for the purposes of SEO can be achieved in a simpler way, without complicating your whole app to support SSR. Just pre-render the page in headless chromium / puppeteer when a search engine bot requests it and return the resulting h

Can't speak for people who actually care about celebrities, but the predictability and insincerity of this manufactured cycle would definitely bug me personally.

Problem is, your interpretation of freedom of speech principles is very disagreeable.

Seems like you just want your freedoms to trample over Amazon's freedoms. Why? Because they're big? You put your personal interpretation of the general principle of freedom of speech above actual rights and freedoms. Nothing noble

> Also, why not create multiple scala-Js projects to do what you're looking to do? That won't help. Scala.js banks heavily on whole program optimization to reduce the size of emitted Javascript. Two independent Scala.js modules

They will not like that, and will likely take action against either you or your users (depending on the nature of your service) if they notice. Approved way is to use their API.

Be careful what you wish to turn into a commodity because in increasingly deregulated capitalism there is often no way back. That would be yet another way to increase inequality. Do you really want to force people to pay down loans with blo

Junior remote is hard, which is why I'm saying get the skills first. This is not just a one year journey, you should be planning your path for the next 5-10 years. Optimize for skills and learning first, then go for maximizing income (

It can be both "worth it" and "horribly overpriced" at the same time. That's just how cartels and monopolies work. They charge you vastly more than their cost, and use the profit to legalize measures that inflate th

If you're giving up on the future already, might as well travel all you want while you can. Why care if we're doomed anyway. If you're NOT giving up on the future just yet, you'd be much better off maximizing your impact

There's at-will employment model on one side, and the Japanese Salaryman model on the other side (low vs high loyalty). As usual, the sweet spot is somewhere in between the extremes.

Growth is expressed as % over the previous period, not of previous period, so 70% is the right number in this context.
