I am glad this discussion is being brought to the fore. In my experience, far too many managers are clueless about what engineering actually means. They see it like warehouses or factories where the number of units shipped == output. But in

What about things like "Stuck on XYZ because no one fixes it because it doesn't show any good metrics and management doesn't care about it. So I fixed it at the expense of my own time."

Leaving this not-so-humorous-post https://medium.com/@NTDF9/if-soccer-managers-did-performance... Full disclosure, it is my own rant about performance management.

I have seen managers who were very effective at their work. But they actually understood the software in depth and were very skilled at shielding the team from politics.

When you really think about it deeply, better production should depress prices because of econ 101. However, the FED induced inflation in assets has made everything out of control.

What a great analogy! I think this is a great analogy to bridge the gap between individualistic vs systematic thinkers about US education and healthcare

I don't think the problem is lack of loans. The problem is the price of assets. This is a structural problem (this used to be something we used to tell developing countries and here we are) Essentially, the asset prices need to match e

This is good. I kind of buy into this theory. About the 100-300 year cycle, that stands as well. History is littered with changing reserve currencies.

No. This is like blaming hammer-as-a-service company for hammer murders. If you're leasing out equipment, you better have reasonable tracking/prevention mechanisms of your equipment. This is much like tracking car leases, computer

What a load of nonsense! The planet needs lesser people. If economics is the problem, fix the damn econs, not the planet. I'm not naive. I understand that the young will have to produce more per capita to support the masses of elderly.

I've said this in the past but I'm going to reiterate at the expense of much downvotes again. America is the third world country of all developed countries. For individuals like you seeking human connection, I highly recommend SE

Then compare it with major US metros only and not entire US. The multiplier again becomes 18x

by NTDF9 7y ago
That is accurate

by NTDF9 7y ago
I literally used the multiplier here: https://data.oecd.org/conversion/purchasing-power-parities-p... As shocking as it sounds, PPP multiple is really 18x

by NTDF9 7y ago
What's incredible is that once you factor in PPP, this is equivalent to $200B in local purchasing power. Imagine how much new economic activity that is for a country whose GDP is only $2.5T

Yup. I don't think most people today realize what a one-time event American wealth was after world war 2. After WW2, the rest of the developed world was destroyed and the under-developed world was colonies. Today, they all have woke ci

Every administration has a problem. You are the one who brought some "progressive" nonsense in the first place, when you yourself know that it's not a political party issue. It's a problem with our politics which is sold

Are you really kidding me? I'm not sure if you are looking at things objectively when you blame progressives (for something they didn't even do) while the current administration is enriching the oligarchs

The proponents of current form of capitalism miss a big big aspect of free-market capitalism. That is: taking losses. Every capitalism proponent is so tied up to the stock market that they don't want to see losses. Thus they resort to
