Yes and several members of professional sports leagues like the NBA/NFL are also very rich too. While it is possible to become very rich working for someone else, I think the author's point is that it is extremely unlikely.

I would argue that google did a pretty good job of that for information on websites. Sci-hub is specifically focused on academic papers.

Just wanted to add that your "side-projects" don't necessarily need to be done outside of the context of your job. On my resume I list several passion projects I've done at work on the side and have been given positive f

I got told this as a 2010 high school graduate too! Didn’t listen since I loved programming and computers and it worked out well for me.

Easy? I would push back on that. TikTok has built a great app, a community of creators, an audience to consume content, and relationships with advertisers to generate revenue. They have made careful design decisions to engineer how addictiv

Using Tailwind doesn't mean you need to individually list each class every time. You can use PostCSS to define class that compose multiple tailwind classes together (See how @apply is used here: https://tailwindcss.com/

In this case I think the title is just meant to be something provocative that will get you to take an interest in the book. The actual book focuses more on the importance of networking and relationships. I haven’t finished reading it myself

Other than with one friend in middle school, I’ve never used email socially. It’s been either Facebook, or texting for me.

I wish that page mentioned how accessibility works for Flutter websites. Seems to only mention Android and iOS.

I’ve always wondered how much of a direct impact your self assessment actually has on your compensation adjustment. At least in my current job, I feel like my manager already has a ball-park idea of the Comp adjustment to give me. It feels

So its immoral for a math tutor to post a flyer about his services in a local coffee shop? Advertising is a very wide spectrum and I think its way too heavy handed to say it is all intrinsically immoral. Some is, maybe even most of it, but

For €199 ($237) why not just get an Apple Watch Series 3 ($199/$229)? It also supports payments, can help you improve your health, show you the weather, and can even tell you the time ;)
