Sure, you can go homestead in Alaska. That should reduce demand in your city :)

"I live above a bowling alley, and below another bowling alley" Rent has gotten so outrageous that this is a good thing now.

This is 100% true for progressing to management. However the OP doesn't want management, which is fine, that's what principals are for. They should just find a good "servant leadership" manager who will get all the BS

Valve. They're kind of dysfunctional from what I hear.

Oh god no. No please don't let "power-users" anywhere near a Low Code framework. It doesn't take long for them to fuck up and go ask a real developer what is wrong. I've seen things...

I'm in a public university IT department on the administrative side. If the professors would like to do admissions, then I encourage them to do so. If the professors would like to do budgeting, then I encourage them to do so. If the pr

A couple weeks ago my block was hit by thieves who got remote entry into a bunch of Toyotas and Hondas. I wonder if that's how they did it.

I am hyper cognizant of that as a manager. I have to teach my new people not to fear me, because a lot of working class people come from industries where your boss is NOT your friend.

Probably exactly that. Looking for devs who used an if statement instead of a ternary operator. Not realizing that its sometimes really fucking useful to have readable code. Or the opposite lol, it's all subjective anyways.

It's wild to me that they can basically print counterfeit USD and put it on their SEC filings, and the Treasury is just okay with it.

Sure you can sue them. The employee contractor line is a big part of labour law, and can affect UK mandated legal protections and benefits. The only problem is that a labour lawyer starts at $400/hr. One way to get around this is to

I got both. Managing a low complexity worker and a high complexity worker requires vastly different styles. Managing a factory production line is very different (down to Left Hand and Right Hand specific tasks!) than managing infinitely c

Why not? They need digital soldiers. They farm spec-ops from the best grunts, so this would give them a pool to recruit their information warefare people from. The Army isn't a business and should never be run as one.

I'm amazed at how many developers need ridiculous complexity to feel like they've accomplished something. I feel that too many people are focused on building resume keywords than solving problems. If you can solve it in 20 lines

The purpose of more complicated solutions is to prevent devs from becoming bored and leaving. In my experience, KISS results in the easiest solution to maintain. Then I get a litany of complaints from devs that "this isn't progra

The lowest grade I got in my business degree was Information Systems. The reason I got that grade is that I made a case for in-sourcing development based on my personal experience, where we provide services for cheaper than consultants, th

Yeah its been wild seeing my grocery budget max out before the end of the month, despite having a good buffer a year before. YNAB has a great "cover overspending from" feature that got a good workout this year. Fortunately I got

Its supposed to measure the effects of inflation on the wealthy, which is why substitutes are important, because it impacts their grocery stocks. You can starve.

This is an excellent business model! Its the complete rejection of "Right of first sale" and the entire concept of ownership. Its an inversion of communism where instead of the state owning something and forcing you to rent it,

This is a complete fantasy. I'm glad you paid attention in your ethics class, but Ben & Jerry's is now owned by Unilever. Take a look at beloved Costco. Blackstone took over the board and has been putting the screws on their

It isn't just a Mac issue. I had a i9 / 64GB Ram windows laptop which turned into a furnace when I ran teams. I've been doing a lot of work on the couch over the pandemic and it was too hot to set on my lap. I have since sw

A self-employed accountant once told me that you take your hourly wage and triple it. 1/3 is your salary, 1/3 is for business expenses and taxes, 1/3 is for when you don't have work. The lucrative part is when you get m

I've heard a tinfoil take that this is intentional malicious compliance to cause banner blindness. If you put the warning on everything then you can sell dangerous materials because people won't be checking the label. If you lab

I disagreed at first read, but you're right. These questions are geared for tech interviews in a startup environment, which assumes the candidate can take on risk. So why not grab for the brass ring? If you want a regular no-risk pay

Cigarettes are directly marketed to kids and have been for decades. I still remember the DARE posters from high school THAT WERE MADE BY THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY, and were specifically designed to have the opposite effect. I also remember that

Or you could band together and collectively withhold your labour. These are solved problems, its how the impoverished and exploited ended the gilded age. Individualization is heavily pushed because capitalism requires fungible labour. But

Oracle sucks. I mean in general, but they have also not released ARM instantclient or even an ARM version of Java. I think its crazy that I'm using Microsoft's version of ARM java. I'm also using Windows 11 ARM in Parallels,
