The worst part is more senior devs being happy to watch it happen and even accept the commits, and then write a long winded story of how this 'car crash unfolded' apparently unaware that they're a tacitly active contributor t

Not fully taxed, you have the next level of legal tax avoidance in the gap between company and person. The key to getting low single digit % tax burdens is adding in steps that allow you to add lots of % reductions and obfuscations because

If you think you're paying a good developer for their time, you're stuck in Victoria era thinking.

I would like to see a general acceptance from people that the thing they think they need can really just be described in a more generic and less "we have unique needs" way, which is often a good chunk of the missing 20%. But tha

Their user overlap with Twitch is so strong that it makes sense to replicate the Twitch model of creator subscriber 'rev share'. I'm not sure it'll pan out as successfully though, but we will see.

This is the standard US centric viewpoint driving this nonsense. Every other developed nation and a lot of lower developed nations solved this long enough ago that it's not even thought about. I have to use my physical card maybe once

There's is literally zero public appetite for anything that poses any of those questions, let alone attempts to answer them. The intersection of technology and people to define a usable product cannot also be defined as a technology.

You're correct of course, but to back up the parents comment, they do have a habit of implementing things other than the low hanging fruit that developers are frustrated not having, leading the drive towards other jvm langs

You've given 2 of the worst (imo) regressions in frontend dev in the last decade. If you're relying on innovation to make your existing tech stack not behave like dogshit when proven and trivial solutions exist, you're valuin

I disagree; it adds a lot to your bottom line. In fact, reading and reviewing code is one of the main tasks of a developer, perhaps more important than writing code. It provides the possibility of not causing future 'your business&#x

How do 2 junior devs manage to rewrite the entire product while also meeting the ongoing goals of the business? You're trying to spec features on a moving target. Even if they were able to do 50% time on the rewrite you'll never a
