And this is why I can't believe AI will take over to the degree that is often predicted. While the computer can perform the calculations faster than I can, it can't have all the information that I do, and give it the same weightin

On my end we call in individually and treat it as a conference call. Asking for background conversations I hear to be clarified helps. Since the other group is typically about four people, it kind of works, but I am not fond of it.

I haven't come up with a good answer for this in my company. My partner and several employees work at one location, and I work with another employee several states away. I've suggested treating meetings as all remote, having each

What benefits are you expecting from the LLC that the C-Corp does not give you? Do you qualify to make an S-Corp election? An LLC can be taxed as a sole-proprietorship if there is only one owner,also called a single-member LLC. If there is

Precisely - the reversability makes a huge difference. Just make sure you use version control.

Comparing programming to tax preparation: It depends, of course. Both have hard days where you are hyper focused and making critical decisions, and easy days where the work is fairly routine. I find tax prep to be more decision exhausting,

Thanks for the keynav pointer. I switched from a mouse to a trackball due to shoulder pain, and it has really helped. Still, anytime I can use the keyboard instead of the mouse it makes me happy.

No, it's not. While our accomplishments can be impressive, the likelihood of lab grown food being not quite identical to naturally grown is too high for me to risk it. It's only my health we are talking about.

A CPA or EA who is familiar with tax planning should be able to handle that side of it. You will want an attorney for the sales agreement and terms. I would suggest an accounting or law firm focused on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) if

Unlimited time? Do tell! How do I unlock this super power? Even when I have taken several months off there was always more to learn than time allowed. One's time does not scale at the same rate as his money.

The data is interesting, but I am always skeptical of self-reported sleep times. It seems there is a sense of pride some people take in sleeping less than others.

Would MS Access be an option? I know Access has a bad reputation, but it is very good at giving non-developers a tool to write queries. There are likely other low code tools that would work, as you mentioned. At a prior job I managed an Acc

1. How others prioritize their time and how limited it is is an interesting call to make. Are you familiar enough with any of the contributors to know how much "spare" time they have and how they use it? 2. See above. 3. I am lock
