I think we're dealing with multiple overlapping issues in the housing sector. For example, where are we going to get enough skilled trades to build the houses? There are many reasons why trades are in short supply from lack of interest

I’ve seen these types, and their cousins at Accenture, etc move into non-tech sectors as CIOs, CTOs and other leadership positions only to wreck the place in 2-3 years. They’ll quickly fill the upper ranks with their kind and before you kno

Minimum desk height was the number one metric I looked at when purchasing a standing desk. Many did not go low enough for me to keep my keyboard a proper height while using my chair correctly. But I ultimately found one and I find the heigh
