   I'm finding it really hard to detect who is using AI and who isn't for leetcode questions. I'm not even sure its a big deal because as soon as they start they get all the AI tools anyway. I try to talk more about their work e

   I'm surprised you were downvoted because it is a huge difference with previous generation. Its also a reason people move to big cities because its easy to get a variety of jobs for each partner.

   So dumb to see office workers sipping all day on their gallon water bottles, while outside the workers in the sun on the construction site taking the occasional sip.

   Its the same reason how Uber could run a ride service without taxi medallions and Air BnB can open home stays in your neighborhood. If there is enough money involved, the VCs in Silicon Valley know who to pay to get what they want.

   Hire people who only do it for the money you'll have to pay them properly. Hire people who care instead.

    Its always amazing to me that South Korea is economically and politically much more successful and in that result it "won" the cold war of the last 50 years with its Northern counterpart. But its population is going to disappear s

    Legacy is better than people think. The undergrad academics at T10 universities really aren't anything special. People want to go because of the connections with wealthy & well-connected students, but then complain when wealthy wel

    OK fair enough. I meant really functionality of crud apps where there usually isn't a lot of text and if there is vb is good enough. Of course you can always put a browser control in your form for what browsers do best.

    Any examples of what the web does better? I can't think of any, esp with activex controls where you could plug in any third party component.

    Visual Basic was a much simpler dev environment 30 years ago already. I was hoping with WASM we'd get something similar, but I'm still waiting.

    As a senior judgement is a real problem as others have suggested. I suspect its a reason why AI is popular. I can ask those dumb questions I should know without embarrassing myself by asking someone, or even worse put it in writing with my

    Here in NY region seasonal rentals are pretty common too. Esp for kids who will upsize every year or two.

    The funniest thing is why crypto bros talk about the Venezuelan taxi driver who has to pay Western Union $10 to send money home, and that is most of the justification for minting trillions of dollars of riches. Yeah OK Visa/MC have a m

    I actually worked in the 90s and 2000s and software was not a popular career because it didn't pay much. Programmers were nerds who did it for the tech, not the money. Ir you say they earned twice as much you have no idea, I had room m
