Inflation is complete bullshit because it’s careful to measure a subset of prices and exclude a large range of other prices. Meaningless crap, designed to support government narrative that everything is great, nothing to see here. To have a

OO isn’t a disaster. What we have learned however is that it’s not the only way to do things. 10 years ago the accepted wisdom was that the only way to program was object oriented. Thankfully there is hopefully a broader acceptance now that

I can interview any developer and by asking the right questions prove they are an incompetent fraud. It’s a simple matter of asking the right questions. Who’s wrong and who’s right? The interviewer is always right. If you don’t know what I

You monetize when the user has value that they do not want to let go. Ready to save your new work of art? Or higher resolution? Or premium features? You do it when the user is hooked. I was not advocating for “no revenue”. Also it seems sel
