This is just..... wow. It's like you're talking to a wall. I think I'm done contributing to this site. Thank you for showing me the light.

Whoops. I probably should have proofread my comment before submitting. Your response seems almost nonsensical now that I've butchered my original post D: Sorry about that.

Am I missing something here? Paying $1000/mo rent for a remote space seems insane. At best, that's 15% of your take-home salary. You're basically forcing yourself to work 15% more than you would without an office. I'd t

Uh..... I don't disagree with you, but you're responding to something I didn't even say....

One could dismiss your 7-phase plan with a similar argument.

Heh, the web. The only platform where it's considered normal to use elaborate workarounds for problems that have been solved decades ago

so..... if 200 people decide to stay (out of the millions that left), then you're right and i'm wrong. guess i can't argue with that logic.

This is a pretty bad attitude to have.

This is a very misinformed opinion.

Over the years I've noticed the south bay culture spreading up to SF and Oakland, and down to Santa Cruz. They haven't been hit as bad as Palo Alto and San Jose, but I'm afraid that the culture will continue to spread as long

Well then, let me know when you've managed to do that.

The second point is the only valid defense of the DOM, in my opinion. It's just a static document formatting language. And it should have stayed that way. Webpages like the one we're on right now should have been the furthest it w

As someone who has stayed far away from the perils of web development, will this be the step that finally makes it sane again? I figure the sooner the DOM + JavaScript/EMCAScript die the better; and with asm.js and WebGL I thought that

I think it's completely useless. The only results I care about are in the long term (30+ years). This is essentially a 2 year salary giveaway. Not even close to UBI.

You're making an awful lot of assumptions there.

And, in my opinion, the test would be useless if it had a time limit attached to it.

People born into wealth aren't guaranteed that. After all, it's their parents' money, not theirs.

There is no acceptable limit. It should be for life, or longer.

Ah, interesting. I'm German too. Unfortunately all my ties to Germany have been severed when my Oma died.

FWIW, it's not the "migrant" part in itself that irritates me. It's the whole thing, "migrant workaholics". I hate the people who moved to my hometown for the sole reason to make money and go back to their home

> Get out more, I guess? I don't think I'm getting my point across correctly. Sure. There are niches in the bay area that are great, and I'm sure I'd meet many interesting people there, if I decided to stay. However,

I've lived in San Jose from birth to 19 years old (worked one year at a startup) and I can see where you're coming from, but you must be blind if you have no idea what I'm talking about. The friendships I cultivated while gro

The crazy part about it is it's just going to get worse and worse. I was born and raised in SJ... since the 80s this tech stuff has been slowly building on top of itself like some sort of tumor, and the city does absolutely nothing to

When he said "mind work", I took it as the constant, 24 hour stress I experienced while living there. Which sometimes is completely unrelated to work. The insane commutes, the work culture, the high rent / COL, the culture of
