I would say then you have chosen the wrong employers. If you're working for someone who doesn't see your value then you're unlikely to be properly recompensed for it. Choosing a company with less hierarchy and more of a merit

Employees are more likely to quit than get made redundant. Therefore it would seem that employers are more disposable than employees. You can't quit a job for another job with a higher salary and then moan about being made redundant. G

Unless we hit another AI winter. We might get to the point where the hardware just can't give better returns and have to wait another 20 years for the next leap forward. We're still orders of magnitude away from the human brain.

This applied to a friend of mine who held copyright on music. Apparently this is non transferable in Germany and it was worth quite a lot. He had to pay a significant amount to move to another EU country.

If you spend 40 hours on this and it only gains you a 1% increase in salary then you earn that back in 2 years. I would say that it will generally earn you much more so personally I see it as a good investment. If you enjoy the take home yo

Even Germany which is an EU member has an exit tax when moving to another EU country. This is theoretically against the EU's principle of free movement of capital. According to EU law, any restrictions on the movement of capital or pa

Sounds like you're building products in lieu of doing user research and product discovery. You can often prove or disprove something is a good idea with some market research and some mock-ups. Even just building the landing page as a f

For comparison, I taught myself Spanish with paper flashcards I wrote, and a grammar book and I was at a similar stage after 5 months. 3 hours effort per week approx so a bit more than you.

Why don't they just add a dock for my phone so I can use my phone's screen and control the car through their app. That would cut their costs and make me happier. There's no way I'm paying a subscription for my car. This

Assuming you know the right questions to ask. Most people don't know what they don't know. I've tried this. I'd prefer to pay a small amount to read the book.
