1. "out of college". I'm sure you can figure out how to interview new grads and identify good devs. 2. They are not. FAANG in India pays higher than what I quoted. My senior numbers are especially on the lower end of the spec

How much are the contractors being paid? The people having a terrible time with Indian contractors always deal with folks making 3k-10k USD/year. Of course the quality is bad. For reference: Good Indian devs out of college make atleast

I don't see how its "obvious" at all. I think most problems wouldn't be solved at all with this view because most problems aren't something people care about. Money gives people the incentive to solve every problem

1. The life I want to live doesn't involve optimising for a salary. I want to fish for fun. Not fish for a living. 2. High earning SV engineers can easily build a substantial corpus in under 10 years. 3. Most people don't know wha

I don't think Europe should feel guilt or anything about their history. They are just operating like every other region prioritising their own citizens first. I just hope all of this is a nothingburger. The last thing the world needs i

> Btw. as far as I remember neither China, India, Russia, nor practically any other nation stopped trading with the US over the war in Iraq. Maybe I am wrong about that. Yep. Because countries only care about themselves. The US is too im

Yep I vividly remember Tony Blair supporting the war. Millions dead. People just went on with their lives with a "oops". I'm just saying this behaviour is nothing new. Might makes right I guess.

Many EU countries did send troops did it not? And what happened when it became clear the war was a farce? There were zero consequences right? It's a "told ya" moment for a lot of asian countries who didn't fully trust th

America starting to treat Europe like it has treated the rest of the world all this time. Weird timeline.

Hobbies are just anything you truly enjoy doing that isn't mandated by your job. If you would continue doing your job even if your employer drops your salary to 0, then yeah your job is your hobby too! It is up to the individual to fi

It was interesting to see my dad retire. He struggled a lot initially and even went back to work for a while. He had to actively work on learning to enjoy his hobbies and time once again.

Thats interesting because my social media is filled with constant hustle culture content. Wonder how the algorithm classifies us.

I use "text-transform: lowercase;". It's just a fun look. When I get tired of it I'll just remove the property.

Crypto is going to be a new settlement layer thats it. You'll use stripe and they will settle it on their public chain. You are free to use the chain directly but no real consumer is going to do that.

So are citizens of rich countries willing to send their wealth to poor countries? We need global wealth redistribution to fix this right?

Every other living organism looking at human beings: yeah.

Still doesn't make sense. How are tariffs "subsidising" corruption? What does that even mean?

I made no such reasoning. The parent comment wrote about taxes like its something bad.

I'm curious. What is an example of any economy that has only worked properly and brought freedom and prosperity to their citizens and has never ever gotten worse?

I disagree with you there. We need to stop infantilising politicians.

We are in this situation because we elect people who do not hold the capital class accountable. Look at the people we elect. How would them running companies be any better?

Then do it today so mothers can continue to work and help the economy.
