If you put all the money in a suitcase and pull it out $12,000 at a time, then yeah. You can also invest it at just 4% yield (extremely do-able in risk-free investments), and also not spend like a lunatic (seriously $144k a year while not w

My firm's advertised billing rate for my time is $175/hour as a Sr Software Engineer. I take home ~$80/hour, accounting for benefits and time off. If I freelanced I could presumably charge my firm's rate, or even more. T

What an awful comparison > As I understand in US, if you take vacation longer than week, you're in the fear you will be fired. Is it true? No this is complete nonsense for 95%+ of jobs

I was in this position for a few years in my first job, and I ended up quitting for exactly this reason. It's important to surround yourself with technical experts early in your career, lest you fall into the "expert beginner&quot

In that analogy, the programmer is more like a luthier then, not a musician. Great luthiers generally aren't also great musicians. Completely different set of skills

"contempt" isn't the word I'd used to describe my feelings towards this existence. It would be more like a deep, existential sadness. That life can fall into these local minimums of optimization - where everything is, on

As someone who does play music, although not professionally, I don't really agree with the analogy that writing code is like playing music. You don’t expect to learn how to play the piano by reading a book, but you might expect t

You're claiming that it's "philosophically impossible" (whatever that's supposed to mean) to do X, as if philosophy is some immutable and fully-understood constant like a gravitational constant. This is what reading

I ride my bike a lot, but in fact need a car where I live if I want to go 10 miles in less than an hour. This is common in most of the US, and we don’t like this lifestyle either. Biking on the street with high speed traffic is not safe her

Is there a definition of “fixable” that people agree on? I had a Dell XPS many years ago where RAM and HDD were socketed to the motherboard, but the build quality was awful and the hinge attaching the screen to the body snapped during norma

Why can’t both be done? Bicycles are already cheap, and an electric bike can be purchased under $1000. Not everyone is capable of limiting their commute to the ~10 mile radius an e-bike easily permits. Some of us still need cars, unfortunat
