I also remembered his post about dropping $50k on the site redesign* I actually thought it was a big W for him when I saw this post. But I guess, if you consider the opportunity cost of Google employment, it's a financial L. * https:&

Yeah, but you get points and badges for feeding it free knowledge, they get the cash, go figure. It's the perfect pre-NFT grift.

It's funny, since Stack Overflow has done EXACTLY this since day one (i.e. generate cash, with user knowledge provided for free). The only difference is SO uses community, gamification & reputation facades, to convince users to par

Wow, it had been years since I read a Barry Schwartz post, a SEO authority since back in the day, I didn't realize his forum had turned so nasty. Funny you mention 'No content creator thinks to themselves, “let me go write my next

OP's line of thought is pretty clear with the other line: "bidding for candidates against their other options" Then he goes on about projects having negative value and also paying employees until value is delivered. His model

Conflating the three is easy, because instead of paying for delivered value, the company is doing arbitrage on location ( like it could do with gender, race or anything else) All companies will take advantage of maximizing their profit or r

What an ending... I have never loved learning the details of an obscure communication protocol or the convoluted methods of a library written by someone who wants to show how good they are. It seems like "junk knowledge" to me. L

The information super-trash-way, the data is feeding on itself. We're heading back to the information dark ages. I don't know if I'm glad or sad, the pendulum is swinging the other way, where printed books or face-to-face lea

Only now its more scalable to do content farm garbage with AI, it's cheaper SEO on steroids. I'm optimistic it will one day be possible to sift through AI generated garbage, but it will take time just like it did with email/s

If he's single, $70k for CDMX (Mty or Gdl, the other two metro cities) it can work, if he wants to raise a middle-class family not so much. Rents are $1.5-2K/month in nice neighborhoods (buy range $250K up); taxes are high with a

They're a poster boy for Latam tech due to their growth. While this post makes sense -- limiting tech choices -- it's rather contrarian, limiting choices to bleeding edge tech, which can go away or change on a whim. But their cult

I'm wondering the same, but for the narrower white collar subset of tech workers, what will today's UX/UI designer or API developer be doing in 5-10 years.

All the implications, from UI/UX to programming in general. Like how much of what was 'important' to develop a career in the past decades, even in the past years, will be relevant with these kinds of interactions. I'm as

The timing on this is suspect. With all the Airbnb travel and remote work dynamics, it seems like its an effort to clamp down on tax loopholes. It's splitting hairs not calling this a 'visa'. If you have to pay a fee and fill
