It is highly correlated to Trump, who has threatened to invade denmark not too long ago.

There's a reason why startups always begin with a software guy/gal and a sales guy/gal. It all begins with a product and a sale. That's how you go from zero to one. Then if you're lucky enough to become an organizat

No matter what you do, entrenched engineers will make SURE they will be the only ones maintaining everything until their retirement, because they will make life impossible for everybody else until they leave. Entrenched engineers don’t want

I live by these words: “if the client could enunciate a perfect spec, they would code it themselves”. Software development is about helping people get what they want out of a computer. Not what they can specify, that’s asking way too much.

This is a false dichotomy. Software development has always been about keeping people in agreement, from the customer to the coder, and all the people in between (the fewer the better). Meetings that increases sync between customer and coder

It's always been that way. They're looking for a senior at the price of a junior. That kind of job listing has always been around, and it makes companies look good to have openings.

The rules are simple and ancient: noble blood breeds nobles; common blood breeds commoners. What’s sophisticated are the layers of ideology and falsehood that made people believe that aristocracy was dead.

They’re just angry at everything and everyone because they're 200K deep in debt with no way to pay for it.

Exactly. Elites are elite because they’re the children of the elite. Their degrees never mattered. “Elite education” was always a cover-up.

Unironically yes. They were promised a seat in the ruling class. All they got was crippling debt. That’s how you incubate dissidents.

The problem with educated youth who understand the game is that if there’s no room for them to join the ruling class they become very angry. They will want to topple the elite so they can replace them.

STEM and PHDs were definitely “elite” 40 years ago. For-profit degree-churning colleges made them not-so-elite through the law of supply and demand. And now they can’t even get a job.

It works in China because they have growth. In the west thousands of college kids thought they could land cushy management positions or at least highly paid expert jobs. Then these kids realise these jobs don’t exist, that they should have

You just wanted to jam in this conversation your dislike of DEI (which can be criticised but it’s not the subject). Elite overproduction is about everybody wanting to be basically managers and nobody wanting to be production workers. Except

This kind of blanket statement smells of the same dogmatism as the AI hype train in reverse. LLMs are a just a simple tool, if people misuse it it's on them.

In a tech/biz duo his role should be to raise money and find clients so you can focus 100% of your time on development. If for you both raising money and finding clients carries very little overhead then the rationale for splitting equ

The ability and willingness to perform well on IQ tests is a metric which deserves adequate analysis. Taking it out of scope by conflating it with "potential" and "heredity" is a lack intellectual rigor.
