It’s in the city limits, and there’s tech firms located all over the city and suburbs. It’d be about 20 min to get downtown though, yes.

For programmers in Indianapolis, there's numerous opportunities. Salesforce has helped advance the salary curve. Job interviews are pretty straightforward. Nothing like the FAANG grind. Salaries are $80K fresh out of college. Surpassin

"powered by AI and machine learning" wahahaha. No thanks. I'll stick with YNAB. If you're not paying for it, you're the product.

“ Patent law could benefit from major reform to eliminate abusive lawsuits and decrease transactional costs of enforcement and defense.” No one disagrees. But that reform should come from legislation, not judges. Judges are supposed to appl

There's just a single vine stalk shown in the photo. Any pictures of the fuller setup/basement? Interested in seeing what equipment it takes to get going.

"website for weed" is underplaying the crime. All the major illegal drugs were sold... including those which have no place existing in the world. Yes, major corruption on the federal side. But not much sympathy for the crime here,

Before you get into investing, I'd recommend getting into budgeting. One of the best ROI's available is not spending money in the first place :) Steps for budgeting: 1) Find out where your money is going now (what's it cost f

Senior IC or senior manager side? IC you usually are left alone. Senior manager side and your times fills fast. That said, the 1-1’s in the article are totally worth the time.

This is fresh college grads, and it’s literally a “you have things to do? Are you stuck at all?” The checkins reduce in proportion to the positive check on things. People don’t understand the massive amount of time new hires can spend stuck

It’s just a poor analogy for the law. It’s what programmers turn to but it doesn’t work. The law is a fundamentally human executable. Code is fundamentally computer executable.

This exactly. I had to convince my wife not to doubt herself. “Yes that’s a line. Instructions say that if anything appears even if faint then you’re pregnant. No we don’t need to double check. Wahoo you’re pregnant!!”

Not great general advice. Totally agree on no job security... but there’s other ways to succeed then jump ship every 2 years. That’s a great way to have 2 years experience 10 times. Sounds like you haven’t found an employer who invests in y

“ this is basically extrapolating the New York and New Jersey numbers” That’s a poor measure for a number of reasons. Not least of which is we’re getting a lot better at treating Covid medically.

To help your depression, you can recall you make more than most people could hope to make every 2 years at age 50. Or than most engineers make at any point in their careers.

Kindle is a great tech (e-ink) with a terribly expensive ecosystem (amazon store) for books. I load all the books I get directly from my computer (Mostly from project Gutenberg). Turning airplane mode on permanently now.

Yes and that’s what almost everyone does. Learning loops with prototypes til you have a feasible product. But then you need a big development plan for how to scale it to a polished, sellable product. Because there’s a lot more to the produc

If you’re building business software then yes mostly. Change is cheap. If you’re actually building a rocket or any other physical thing with real world stuff (like some of us here) you need a real plan. The fits software engineers get into
