but that data could be really useful - the average cost is $x, the median is $y, and you could do standard deviations too. Or you could give even more detailed info

Cool to see more things like this. I'm a big user of Verbling - looks like this is supposed to be more structured? It's also more expensive

I'm sure you can do things to make it perform better in docker, but that's a few more steps than I'm willing to take right now. There are some technologies that I'm excited to take risks on, but Docker isn't one of

I'm doing almost the exact same thing - but I'm moving from San Francisco to South America to learn spanish + work on my projects. 75k is definitely enough runway, but if you can move to a lower cost place it'll go even furth

Agree with the overarching theme but the article comes across as petty. A lot of companies try to be overly fun and expect you to live at the office, one guy wrote on article on how to make your company a "cult" https:/&#x2F

Schools are just glorified baby sitting services. I would much rather see reduced hours than later hours, but that would conflict with the baby sitting function

The operating assumption seems to be "not all 1%ers cheat, but most of them do". I don't see evidence for that. My other problem with these arguments is that they seem to point to some bad behavior, and the solution is usuall

Except that he's not - Buffet's corporation is taxed, and then it gives money to him in the form of dividends and then he's taxed. He's paying taxes twice, once at the corporate rate and again at the personal rate

Who's "cheating"? If they're actually cheating, let's take away their unfair advantage. But let's not fuck over everyone making over $x because we don't like how some percentage of that group do it This va

Sounds terrible, but good luck! "feedback, coaching, fixing problems, growth and development" are the kinds of things that I definitely don't trust with 90% of companies, so if it becomes standard, we're all be worse off

Totally agree. Even if you like your manager, there's still a huge risk of saying the wrong thing and being labeled a problem child. I'm worried that 1-1s are becoming the next Agile - just another process used to increase control
