Power consumption maybe, but RPI with a case, power supply and drive isn't cheap and a fraction of the power.

What's the difference between a phone in 2022 and 2017? Camera maybe? Effectively the same.

Most languages have completely different idioms though. Sure you can write functions, loops, if statements the same in dozens of different language syntaxes, but that doesn't prove anything. I've seen loads of codebases written co

I really miss the days before the internet. I can live without my phone but its hard to be a developer without internet on my laptop.

As someone who has been working since the 90s and leads a team of 20 people in NYC where no one earns more than 250k. You're doing fine. Most of the highest incomes are RSUs which are being savaged.

> as long as you make sure you're excellent at your job The problem is everyone tries and thinks they're doing well. Realistically only 5-10% are "excellent at their job". 50% of us are below average.

I agree, I think so many teams are filled with 20 somethings with a 30 yo boss, no one really likes hiring someone twice their age.

For my family COBRA is about $2500 a month, which is a lot when you aren't working!

7 years later after getting laid off and I'm still paranoid about performance reviews and layoff rumors in the press. I never used to be nervous about talking to people about my work but it really affected me.

That is a big lesson I learned. I worked at a job for 8 years without looking elsewhere and when I got laid off I was really stuck because the market and interviewing circuit had completely changed.

The last 5-10 years have seen crazy money. I think most of us will see pay cuts sooner or later. Definitely when you get in your 40s+ you're likely to get a pay cut for each new job, unless you're management or architect or simila

If you've been working 10 years you're in the peak desirability age. A few more years you'll be nearly 40, after that people are much less likely to hire you.

can we get full duplex?

Yup that too, but TV was strictly scheduled until the 80s(?) people who read books were unsocial nerds who didn't go out.

Damn now I'm triggered and confused. I'm not sure if I believe this, will have to look closer. Grammarly accepts either way.

I love monitoring but after a few decades working I still haven't found a good way to monitor everything. Still a mix of email, pagerduty, prometheus, cloudwatch, websites, kibana consoles. Surely there is a good way to do this? I figu

If its plural it should be 'are'. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/is-vs-are/ I think its clear but just comes from using the language a long time. Like I said its very common in the USA for people to use

Definitely buying a house in 2023 is a risky investment. It depends a lot on the person and the location about what to do. I bought my place mid thirties, it would have been 500k cheaper if I bought in my mid twenties, OTOH I enjoyed the fr

What has done best for American investors over the last few decades: buying index funds. Which is why everyone recommends them. In 2023 it isn't always good advice, especially outside of the USA. The best things are paying off debt, av

Nice, I'm grumpy about hearing that song every 5 minutes as well. :)

Can we talk about grammar? I've noticed it is becoming normal not to use the plural 'are', this title is triggering for me. Even on primetime TV I'm hearing 'is' everywhere, does anyone else complain or am I ju
