   I wonder if this is a bug? Somebdoy else noticed this?

   Exactly. He should have started the article with "Disclaimer: [...]".

   I know that it's not how they work, that's why we're in this situation we're in. I'm saying it's absurd, and that we need to change something.

   How many software engineers really write software that is as essential as a working postal service or working food services? Maybe 0.01% of all software engineers? I know that I'm not one of them.

   Sure, I understand the macroeconomic reason. But goes to show that maybe some jobs shouldn't just be paid solely based on supply and demand. We can do it because for my friend it's better than not having a job, but it doesn't

   Very well put. It's crazy to me that I, a software engineer, can earn 10x more from working a very chill 8 hour day in my pyjamas from home writing some software that's interesting to me but not very important for the world, while

   I don't mean hack as in "hack a system and leak the passwords". But "hack" here implies that you somehow skirted around the rules or did something that you're not supposed to do. You've exploited something

    I wouldn't consider this "hacking a non-computer system" though. Or maybe I just misunderstand the question.

    I hate that YC question. A "good" answer to that is almost always something that's borderline illegal or otherwise ethically bad.

    Why don't you just transpile the frontend Python code to JS at build time and just have normal HMTL/JS/CSS in the final deployed web app with a Python backend? You've mentioned no-code tools. For a client, I had to work

    Nothing wrong with it. Just saying that you with so little money you'll probably struggle to get balanced nutritional meals over the years.

    Sorry, where in EU or US can live a "normal" live on $12k/year? Sure, you can do it if you live in a one bed-room apartment in the middle of nowhere and only eat home-cooked pasta every day. But I don't think anybody tha

    The DB app allows you to buy tickets for local transport associations - not sure if it includes everything, but so far I always found the regional tickets there.

    That's not at all how I have understood the parent comment. I think they meant that they would start a business in their 30s with a child, but not a hot air type of business with the hope to somehow make some money down the road.

    I mean efficient in terms of heating/energy, not CO2 levels.

    I also pay for Kagi. Similar to others here, I had switched from Google to DDG, but found myself going !g about 50% of the searches. With Kagi, I almost never use the !g bang.
