I work at a 20 year old company about like this. We’re all comfortable, it’s really nice.

I don't know about that. Geneology has been a hobby for me for a couple decades and I'd say only tech illiterates were willing to trust 23 and me. I've never seen any company I've worked at do well enough with security

Most of the open source devs from that generation did this as a hobby - many of us had to write dreary business software at our day jobs and loved UNIX, so creating these tools was just fun. If it ever felt like a burden, you'd just s

My experience was very different. At my first software job in '98, there was a whole team of women in the 50s/60s that did VB. They had long careers doing COBOL/JCL before that. That entire demographic has all but disappea

VB6 was the absolute high water mark for RAD tools. Nothing has come close since and yeah, productivity and software in general has suffered for it.

Exactly. Moving to EVs was a huge mistake. We would have had to practically abandon personal vehicles at some point. This was that chance. Blown. These things will keep us in this same pattern for at least another 50 years leaving this

I agree, but of course Lou would not have. He chose to be miserable most of his life. There’s no way his life could have turned out that he would have been satisfied with.

It's this failure to engage with reality that will be their downfall. Hubris is at the root of it really, reinforced by the way they hire.

Examine what's preventing you from relating to your neighbors. In the past, people were friends with people older and younger than them and from different social classes. Millennials seem to have completely lost those skills which se

It’s a millennial generation thing. Nobody older or younger takes it this seriously.

I worked at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange 15 or so years ago and we had dozens of similar files that most major financial institutions downloaded daily. If they weren’t published on schedule we would start getting calls from executives a

I lived in both places. Almost all the parents of my kids friends in public school in Hayward regularly went to church. I knew not a single person that attended church in Chicago.

So I would have to spend more for the same care I have now? No thanks.

I advocate for myself, others should do the same. Medicaid is there for retirees and disabled folks and the rest of us should be working. I don't know what these millions you mention are doing where they can't afford healthcare,
