As a daily Linux desktop user for 20+ years I don’t want any kind of App Store at all. Forcing me to interact with one will drive me away for sure.

Proper corn tortillas have no lard. If you live near any sizable community of Mexicans it shouldn’t be hard to find fresh masa to press.

I would not even bother interviewing someone with FAANG on their resume at my current company. They’d definitely expect more than I can pay. I’d also assume they would be bored or complain about doing grunt work that can be common in a sm

I lived there for 10 years and worked startups, not FAANG. Place after place, all run by people I’d never trust. Shady, dishonest, near criminals. Was happy to leave. I feel like Stanford basically produces criminals.

Our customer contracts obligate us to inform all customers about any outages. We can’t just hope they don’t notice and only pay the ones that happen to.

No. How to choose to support yourself is up to you to figure out. 3 bad jobs, one good job, you’ll have to figure that out.

Sanitizing the plant after hours. Exactly the same work I did as a teen at the grocery store in the meat dept. Spraying star-san on stuff for the most part.

Hardly a competition. If the best you can muster as an adult is what an unskilled kid can do, the game was over for you a long time ago and you lost.

I can always tell when I’ve hired someone who did not grow up working actual jobs when they were young. School is not an adequate substitute for what you learn punching a clock.

A coffee shop is absolutely possible as long as nobody is interfering in the wage agreed on between employer and employee. We’ve had coffee shops forever and they have done fine. It’s only the modern expectation that they should pay more

Not sure what those jobs are - generally the less skill needed the lower the compensation. If there are some easy jobs like you say that pay better and employer and employee are both in agreement that’s great.

I’d suggest simply reminding people that if they don’t want to be homeless they need to learn a skill that pays a living wage. This is how it’s been forever.

No. I’ve probably had 20+ jobs in my lifetime and only expected to make enough to live with maybe half of them . The idea that working fast food, which I’ve done and anyone with a pulse could do, should pay enough to pay all of an adults

The idea that all jobs should provide enough compensation to live off of is just not possible. Face it now or later, but a charade which requires financial support will eventually crumble.

My favorite are the reporter style notebooks - skinny and bound at the top. They're like barely a step up from post it's, but do the job for me.

So they’re at home contributing to their families growth instead of their countries numbers - sounds like they are doing it right.

Nothing specific. I already spend more hours than I'd like on my job. However, each day brings new experience and I think that adds value. I've learned enough languages/frameworks/stacks to know unless I'm going

They have enough tanks to squash as many people they'd like in as many town squares as they have, just like everyone saw them do in Tiananmen square.

I learned software engineering on the job. I learned marketing in school as part of a business degree.

Agreed. The next challenge is getting over the annoyance every time someone wants to debate this AGAIN.

I was in the industry before this greedy trend accelerated out of control - I know first hand how much better things were before. I’ve seen a colleague choose death over the abuse the average H1B gets subjected to. The sooner this lie end

Or we could force these tech companies flush with cash to pay market rate and watch salaries rise or let these companies leave the country if they can’t afford to do business here. These are the richest companies on the planet and they don

ABC, mulch, etc would destroy the interior of a minivan. I can sweep or hose it out of pickup easily.

Lived in the US my whole life and somehow escaped this. My 2 cars are an ‘03 and ‘04. Purely functional and bought with cash. I’d be blown away to learn someone actually thought better of someone based on what car they saw them driving.

Don’t draw unless your life is being threatened and you’ve decided you’re going shoot that person. Brandishing to stop theft I think is illegal anywhere. There is no Wild West anymore. Lucky you didn’t end up in jail.

I’ve seen replace a lot of tasks that used to be done with Excel - non-programmers programming tool of choice.

Don’t have to go that far. I’m productive when doing my own things, but if I’m taking a salary, my productivity is my employers concern, not mine.

For real. I’m Gen X and don’t know anyone my age into their career at all, let alone foolish enough to worry about being productive for someone else.

Gross. If your company uses sales force, try to encourage them to use something else. Don’t recommend it for anything new. Don’t go work for them. Don’t do anything that would be good for salesforce. Do your best to bring them down any
