Another perspective is: Given that Shopify should have the capabilities to be good at this and their AI assistant is still sucking ass, it's not possible to make a better product with the current technology. Maybe it's right 99% o

I would suggest to pick one of the larger instances – they are stable and have been for a while. For example, I'm on mstnd.social. You can also go with the official mastadon.social, probably the simplest. hachyderm.io is also a popular

Ideally, yes. And I agree that there's some correlation of how well clearly people can write prose and write code. But, articulating yourself with your teammates is not only about writing well. It's also about saying the right thi

It's not about that Musk disagrees with her political views, it's that he is being anti-scientific, pushing wrong scientific facts and so on to further his personal agenda, which happens to involve a lot of politics.

I don't know where the OP lives. But in Switzerland, where world-class univeristies like the ETH cost something like $ 1.5k a year in tuition, I'm pretty certain that people earn more on average than in the USA.
