What do we call someone who breaks laws, then? We already have other words to designate serious offenders, like "felon" or "convict". And we have offense-specific terms, like "murderer" or "rapist".

Assuming you've stopped speeding, you have ceased committing the crime, but you have not made restitution. There's a difference.

Yes, people who systematically drive over the speed limit are criminals. Obviously, criminality is a spectrum. We can debate the seriousness of violating speed limit laws, but the violations are still violations.

It's cargo cult career management. People see successful programmers giving lots of talks and writing lots of articles. People want to be successful. Monkey see, monkey do.

The problem with "technical debt" as a meme is twofold: It's a lousy analogy, and people tend to label absolute garbage as "tech debt". The garbage is not a tool to enable quick growth. It's not a shortcut.

I live in flyover country, so adjust these numbers for your locale. There are "seniors" who make $60,000 per year. No joke. And there are seniors who make $140,000 per year (in a rather low cost area.) The PHBs have figured out

This is technically correct but dishonest. These numbers are true only for American Airlines. Every time you step on to an "American" plane that is "operated by xyz", you are not flying American Airlines. You are flyin

So much whining in this thread. It is possible to make $220k/year and also be unhappy. Deal with it. Beyond a point, money won't increase your happiness. Riding out a terrible job where you're underutilized and overpaid bec

You've got one, but the machine keeps sabotaging him. I don't think there are ten Democrats who oppose what Bernie Sanders stands for. But there are millions of Democrats who oppose what they think he stands for.

I don't like this idea of buying elections. But at the very least, I'm happy to see the Democratic machine upside-down, with all of the designated incumbent royalty falling behind the outsiders.

That person devoting 60 hours a week is almost certainly committing trash that someone else will have to refactor or discard entirely at a later date. Real 10x programmers spend most of their time levitating, anyway.

My gut reaction to your story would be to assume that your local credit union is doing a better job than the big banks, not that there's a good explanation for the big banks. Credit unions frequently also offer better mortgage APRs, be

I get that Amex would do this. It seems to be their attitude. They seem absolutely bent on eating the cost of fraud to make life easier for their customer. For the other banks, the motivation is harder to understand.
