There's a pretty low limit on the amount you can invest in ibonds per year. It's in no way a solution for people looking to protect assets in a bear market.

I'm talking more about things like you can't use apps that haven't been blessed by Apple without jumping through hoops, you can't easily install some third party OSS without installing XCode clutils, for a while you seem

It's unfortunate that some of what made MacOS great for developers is now being phased out in favor of features that are lifted out of iOS. Apple has made developer-hostile moves over the years that seem out of line with it's old

These questions are ultimately just asking what the work culture is like, they don't really have anything to do with documentation. And in that sense they're good questions to ask during an interview. As you allude to though, I do

Strategically speaking, Google can’t kill GCP. Unlike Stadia, or Reader, or any of the n messaging apps they’ve developed, GCP is widely popular. It’s bigger in terms of market share than many public companies in the space, e.g. Digital Oce

About 3 years ago I left Silicon Valley after being there for 15 years. I moved to the suburbs outside of another major US city, near where I grew up. I had already been working remote, and especially during the pandemic it felt like a rela

Not sure I agree. My anecdotal first hand experience is that it's irrespective of talent or work ethic.

Let's be real - a lot of tech companies over-hired from late 2020 to early 2022. Many need to cut staff now that the capital markets have dried up. The easiest way to do that without an actual layoff is to reneg on the promise of being

As someone who has bought one of these LE certs for money, I wasn't (just) paying for the cert, I was paying for convenience. I know I can get it for free and set it up myself. I don't want to set it up myself.
