Lot's of people can get rich from their salary alone. I know many Silicon Valley workers who chose to live more frugally, invest in properties like duplexes, town homes, etc. and then rent and improve them and increase their net worth

Are you talking about hiring a remote team and managing them? The answer may very well be yes for organizations that don't know how to properly communicate and utilize tools and methods to manage them. There is an entire middle managem

If you have a family that loves you, manageable stress levels and a purpose in life, I think you are doing a lot of things right. I am sure you are worth more! There are probably ways to increase your compensation and maintain your quality

A very good question, thanks for asking! I think about that a lot. This answer is going to get a little bit deep (for me) so please forgive me. My career later took me to Los Angeles in 2009 and then to Seattle in 2018. Both my wife and I g

These compensation amounts reflect what I am seeing in the market. Whenever I see these amounts, like many others, I am somewhat amazed, but then I stop, look at my own history and reflect on the environment that supports paying a Staff eng

I agree with you and I would really like to buy VR hardware from a good actor, but they are few and far between. This is great for now for rescuing hardware that might be going straight to the landfill or for those who finally understand th

Do you know if the Bedouins are still living the traditional nomadic lifestyle that was once common? Can you share more about where your parents ended up after they were forced out our Haifa? We are way off topic now, but I really wonder if

Good luck to you brother! I wish everyone knew how hard the various trades work to make these shows happen. As you stated elsewhere, the work is a reward for making magic happen, but so is maintaining your quality of life.

I worked as a grip on numerous film and video shoots in the 80s and 90s. The working conditions were brutal but the pay was good. Lot's of people wanted to do the work, so the situation was ripe for the type of working conditions that

I also switched to Parcel. My use case was such that Parcel was a faster and simpler choice. That being said, I am starting to look at esbuild, in the hopes of making builds even simpler.

Is is possible that they learned lessons about fairness and openness as a result of their experience at Facebook? Is the stain of being associated with Facebook so indelible that no redemption exists? I am no fan of Facebook and encourage a

Freja looks really cool! Thanks for sharing it. I find these types of projects very inspiring. They bring back the wonder and joy that I felt when I first discovered computers in the early 80s. You felt like you were in control of a whole n

But of course. I realize the use of "probably work for free" should not be taken literally. It does show that he(?) places value on other aspects of work rather than making a high salary performing joyless tasks I have been in the

I suppose it was inevitable that someone would apply "whataboutism" to teenage mental health. It is perfectly acceptable, and rational, to have concerns about a variety of problems facing society. Deciding to say "What about

I think about this a lot! Did I fake anything? I certainly felt out of my league quite often early in my career, and on paper, this may have been true. I aggressively pursued knowledge, tried to work on the hardest problems, found the best

This seems to be an unfortunate manifestation of French tax law and culture. This comes off as offensive to those of us who came up through, what we may believe, the more egalitarian, Silicon Valley entrepreneurship model. A PhD may actuall

You are correct, of course. However, it is a unique away of introducing some GA concepts, rather than the usual "learn to walk" examples.

I use my E6-B flight computer [1] every time I fly. Is it a nomogram or a slide rule? I think it is both! It is such an amazing useful calculator. At the flight school I went to, it was common for students who got their instrument rating to

Thanks for sharing that term. A score is so much more complex. I need to dive into the approach Playform took. I notice that team is comprised of experts in a variety of fields, who make a lot of editorial decisions on the output of the AI
