Every serious religion worth considering is different and distinct in its fundamental core claims, even if there is a significant influence and overlap on other levels. No amount of pseudo-philocophical and quasi-historical research can cha

I think “older drivers” pay less primarily because of risk aversion (naturally increasing with reducing hormones production etc), not hypothetical driving wisdom.

Sometimes truth is not sweet, sorry. And there is no point in sugarcoating even if I'm mistaken, we are all grown ups here. If european innovative companies and small businesses flourish in 10 years - I'll be the first to apologiz

I've only actually seen and been part of something resembling "agile" team 2 times in my career. Vs many instances of an org only claiming to be agile. Those 2 instances were actually pretty enjoyable, educational and very pr

Europe has been steadily eradicating freedom and entrepreneurial spirit for the past 50 years. They will suffer badly many years later. They are slowly walking to disaster, but nobody cares. Go on, downvote me for telling the obvious truth

I think it’s the same pattern playing out as in politics - even the dumbest people get too powerful, too lucky or too influential to even realize the problem. But its often beneficial to large enough amount of bad actors who play along and

I have to admit that is the biggest challenge for me in working at modern IT companies - to understand the language. I attribute that to me not being a native speaker. I always feel they all speak like Im 100, not ten. Because of abundance

These meme only makes sense for very small products. After a certain threshold of complexity and size any software becomes a collection of trade offs and compromises, never something you might call a “clean architecture”. Its a red herring,

Sorry to dissapoint but “writing code” or “programming” per se was never a goal to begin with. It was and is just an obstacle, a mean to an end at best. Therefore it’s not AI fault that you built your identity on sand. The goal had always b

I don’t think there would be a revolution (not in any positive sense of the word anyway) even of energy problem is solved. I apologize if my comment looks cynical, i meant it in a friendly informal tone.

This isn’t really a revolution until we have new energy sources. There is no T model until that point. Don’t be silly.

I'm not interested in debating you. Just showing that your main belief is at least as irrational and arbitrary as your implied cartoon version of the bible based belief system (because you can't possibly prove or justify it by you

Can you empirically show that your consciousness exists? How can you then be so confident it is objective? Or prove that objective laws of math and logic exist?

You’re strawmanning the bible here, essentially. That shows the level of your ignorance. These days only ignorant and lazy people stick to purely literal and surface level interpretations of the bible. Just saying. But you are here to asser
