My advice would be to not listen to anyone who’s primary advice is to avoid one of the most commonly in demand skillsets and denigrates everyone who practices it as being expert beginners.

If people are making art to get rich and failing, it doesn’t kill artists, who’d be making art anyway, it kills the people trying to earn money from their art. Do we need Quad-A blockbuster Ubisoft/Bethesda/Sony/MS/Ninte

Could just be that people in the Bay Area are more absurdly wealthy so they have a higher risk appetite… risk tolerance tends to correlate directly with wealth and security - nobody taking zero salary is doing so in leu of food and shelter.

Raised to huddle close and expect the imminent utter demise of the earth and being dragged to the depths of hell if I so much as said a bad word I heard on TV, I have to keep an extremely tight handle on my anxiety in this day and age. It’s

Cheers, understood. I think I assumed it was to call into question the results of the study. The US is definitely ceding the intellectual and international diplomacy realm to china

I think it’s okay to mean what you say. Part of improving literacy is also respecting the intelligence of your audience and not talking down to them. Treating everyone like buffoons makes people act like them - treating them as beings capab

The US is not naively sticking our heads in the sand, our leadership is making direct choices to make sure that they rule over the ashes rather than let a future happen where they have less power.

Which is the stupidest position ever if Google wants to exist long term. Unfortunately there are no workable alternatives. DDG is somehow not better, though I use it to avoid trackers.

I just finished a multi-year career break and was able to navigate the market and land 2 offers - every company is dealing with a massive deluge of fake applicants. The front door is poisoned right now - do not funnel your job search throug

Think of it this way - if they’d hire you, why wouldn’t they hire someone much cheaper. You can’t identify them from the outside, but your network can. If you want to try, try companies with heavy worldwide presence.

Red or blue, those who own property own the levers of power to determine what gets built. I’ve yet to meet anyone who thinks utterly stifling construction restrictions are a good thing, yet they seem to exist everywhere.

If you can be found on any other platform, your followers will be able to follow to those. There’s no benefit to being on one platform.

There's no technical reason that one couldn't move from platform to platform and link identities - the restrictions around IP and platform lock-in only benefit the platform owner, ensuring that competition will be stifled rather t

This is my experience as well, and that of many people I’ve talked to. The ones who breathlessly state how awesome it is seem to all be business people to me rather than engineers. It keeps throwing me into doubt.

I often work in highly regulated markets. Every regulation I've seen makes sense, even if sometimes it costs a TON of money to get thru - most of the time the biggest problems and highest costs with regulation are when the gov tries

The worst part to me is how little anyone seems to care about privacy - it just is how the world is. The US economy (or at least almost all e-marketing) seems to run on the idea that there's no such thing as privacy by default. Its not

"Morally required to ... engage" with technologies that one disagrees with sounds fairly easily debunk-able to me. Everyone does what they can live with - being up close and personal, in empathy with humans who are negatively effe

Too early to tell - usually they'll settle on something with a balance of those main values. If matrix is truly the new IRC then perhaps that, though it doesn't seem mature enough yet and it seems like it might be costly if one ne

AI travel… agent? I think if you can make a spiffy interface and surface suggestions as well as deals, it might be a huge value add. Travel itineraries are difficult. Could also get into the booking space.

I think the implied promise of the technology, that it is capable of fundamentally changing organizations relationships with code and software engineering, deserves deep understanding. Companies will be making multi million dollar decisions
