So, Google is free. They were hiring for a very expensive employee class and doing 0 research? I find that hard to believe. I think they knew what a dev would cost and were hoping to be hire from the left side of the salary curve. I've

Similarly, Apple was experimenting with new metal casting techniques and used them to create the Sim Removal Tool included with every iPhone. The theory at the time was they were going to use this new cast in upcoming iPhones. But ended up

Trades has always been feast or famine. No one in the trades is doing 50-70 hours/week over 8 years. If there is money to be made now you make it now. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Ask anyone who works in petroleum what that market is li

I took a year off to travel in my 20s. When I was done it took 6 months to find a job in my field. I then took 2 years off to travel in my late 30s. And it took 1 month to find a job in my field. The companies that used that time off agains

These businesses that are not unique, not patentable only have scale as their moat. So you want the widest, deepest moat and fill it with customers. This is the early 2000s and deindustrialization is in full effect. If you want a cheap ware

California passed Prop 13 way back in the 70s that locked property taxes at 1% increase when nationally inflation has been 1.5-2%. It doesn't require a math degree to see that after a few years if you already own the discounts compound

The economy is doing super great and that is the problem. The old trick was to pump up the rates until unemployment increases and demand drops. They tried it and it's not working.
