Moreover, the typical interview process is so ridiculously energy sapping (and poorly predictive), many of us senior devs are just done with it. When I bail (or get axed) I’m gonna just do some indie hacking or maybe scratch up some 1099 wo

I started writing code full time at age 38. I turn 60 this year, and I feel like I'm going strong. I might have lost a half step. I guess I won't be writing code at 70. It's possible I'm unique, but I don't think so

Forty? A mere child! I'm about to turn 59, and I spend my days coding. And I love it. At my current job I could have easily moved into people management. But the modest salary bump just ain't worth headache as long they let me kee

Fantastic interview. Don’t listen to haters who paint Ammous as some solitary contrarian. He’s coming from a 150 year long tradition going through the great Ludwig von Mises back to Menger and the Marginal Revolution. Keynesianism was the w

Here's how I apply DRY. As I build a thing, I just sling duplicate code like I'm getting paid by the line. Once I've created all or most instances of the duplicate code, and they're working, only then do I circle back re

Viewing boom-bust cycles as "something that just happens, we have no theory to explain why" is the great failure and embarrassment of mainstream (that is to say Keynesian) economics. But a comprehensive theory exists. It won Fried

You're right. No one ever buys computers or phones. They'll be cheaper and more powerful tomorrow!

Most people using bitcoin as a store of value are willing to accept volatility, given that we know for certain that fiat is a store with built-in leaks — leaks that we can all see are getting bigger and there's good reason to believe w

Best reply. Envy is gross. Such a socially destructive vice.

> No actual new value is being created That's your whole theory, and there's nothing weird about it. Everyone knows young men take risks to make their fortune and gain esteem. It's just window dressing for a claim you thre

Before we can solve "moderation," we need to be clear what the goal is. Twitter has very handy Unfollow and Block features. Therefore, moderation on Twitter means stopping people from saying things to people who want to hear those

He's not asking you to take him seriously. He's taking executive action while others wait infinitely for some kind of "real numbers" to come in. Analysts make terrible entrepreneurs.

So it’s pretty obvious few commenting here read any of the article. Most simply express their own preexisting view at length, and make no attempt to engage the author’s ideas. They’re not even aware they’re contradicting the article. Rampan

Many years ago I built an iOS app called BetterDo that dealt with some of these issues. It broke long ago after some iOS update, and I let it slip away. But I really miss it. 1. No dates. Instead I had sublists by timeframe: Today, Tomorrow
