if your worth as a "dev" is tied to the fact that you know js framework X really well, you have a foundational problem in your skillset. learn real skills. whatever framework someone fancies can be picked up over the weekend. 80&#

Wikipedia can be really helpful when you are already at an advanced level in math - to quickly look up definitions. For learning the fundamentals, it is completely useless. Too many cross-references, which you ALL have to understand in math

its foolish to believe that applicants should have the right to hide their expectations indefinitely but expect employers to broadcast them to the world. if you dont want asymmetry in the negotiation process, be a good sport.

the usual approach is a google form, stating what you are going to make. then you presell it. meaning you sell something that does not yet exist. if X number of people buy, you build it. if too little people want it, you return their money

about 95% of all "engineers" think that math skills are not necessary and anything that requires actual original thought has no place in their workday. you can apply this to web dev the same way you can apply it to AI. Tensorflow

"web dev" is going to go down. "engineering" is not. learn real skills. if your skillset is "i can write crud apps", india is not your competition. AI is.

sure you can, but lyft is very likely already written off. meaning you can short the fund (probably not because those funds are private, as well) but the lyft losses are already priced into their "stock price". edit: maybe its mor

in a quest to monopoly, lyft has clearly lost. uber doesnt even buy them. theyll just become irrelevant as uber is winning the war for data. theres no way to short private stock. for good reason.

well, its simple. Step 1: Don't call yourself a freelancer. Freelancers are the idiots who get paid after the fact, can't speak proper english and have to deal with money-conscious clients who think $5000 is a lot of cash. If you
