Ok man, you can obviously do whatever you want. I'm just saying that you aren't that guy. Good luck! Software is extremely easy and anyone should be able to learn everything they would need to land a $200k+ job in a few weeks.

Wow.. You are very wealthy. I am also a software engineer in the Bay Area and don't have anywhere near your wealth. Well done!

I don't think you will be able to get a good software job starting so late. Sorry, man. Good luck trying something else!

You are a perfect example of the type of person I am glad I will never be. You don't even realize how conceited and self-obsessed you are. You know what your problem is? You've spent your whole life feeling sorry for yourself and

Millennial here. This is mostly correct though you are very wrong about a few things.

> It's hard to talk about the specifics of a problem if you don't have names for things, don't you agree? Strongly disagree. In my experience, people who like to use highly specific domain vocabulary are far more concerned

I can assure you that what you have invented is not as powerful or as useful as you think. If you had something that provided value, people would desire that value.

Did you work in the San Francisco office? I was also a Curse employee at the time.

Ketosis is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. It has been life-changing for myself and many of my closest friends. I lost over 200lbs doing keto and it was one of the easiest, most ennjoyable things I have ever done in my life. Keto i

Coding is very easy. Anyone can learn how to do it within a few weeks and make over 6 figures in any city in America. Congrats for figuring it out!

Yep, I agree with this. I am a highly paid senior engineer at my current tech startup. I basically wake up at noon every day, on some days I pop into the office for a couple hours, but most days I just chill at home, go to the gym, hang out

All of this advice is especially relevant to a Front End Developer role. You'll want to go into this thing having a solid grasp of Big-O notation runtime efficiency of your favorite UI algorithms.

It looks like you haven't tricked anyone into asking you what your project is yet. Sorry man, but it was a great attempt to get your project some exposure. :(

I am 35 years old, as are most of my friends, and we are all making over $700k right now... Your number seems kind of low? What gives you the impression that people are making such a small amount of money in the Bay Area?

Unless you can provide an official source, this is just speculation.

Why would you write such a pointless, combative comment? You don't actually believe you're contributing to a discussion, do you?

You don't seem to understand the difference between marketing on the package and the nutrition label. Do you acknowledge these are different?

Personally, I don't know anyone who would hire someone like you, who knows a little bit about lots of things. Most businesses want someone to join their team to provide significant value without that value being overly-difficult to mea

I was just wondering to myself "How the hell does the government win judgements against sums of money?"
