Maybe talk to your wife? Friends, family? Keeping physically healthy and healthy relationships allows you to keep working your 9-5. Otherwise I'd learn new skills, if not tech maybe management? I did an OU MBA online which was fun, I d

For me devops was never a great idea. Ideally you want one team to decide on the architecture. You do need front line ops, ideally they'd take some ownership and write some scripts, but the buck stops with one team for inhouse systems

Isn't this the whole business model of SV in the last 20 years? Dump huge amounts of money into non-profitable companies with the hopes that someone will buy them later.

Much of the Why is because bookkeeping predates computers, so its all about ledgers in books.

I think you can expand this explanation with database terminology. In modern RDBMS, you could have naive implementation with two account's balance, and increment one decrement the other. But without transactions it just isn't safe

Sure but solar wont help you get through the cold winter, where biofuel will.

Its nice to have your own panels, but at a high level its more efficient for a utility to have a solar farm connected to the grid and you just buy spot rates.

Yeah I agree with this. I like a good remote vacation and not talk to anyone for two weeks. But you can't live like this forever, esp with kids. A medium sized city has a lot of benefits.

I agree, but FAANG developers also get paid huge amounts at the same time. A relaxed job with great perks should pay 50-100k. If you earn half a mil in RSUs you really should be grinding, or someone else will take your place.
