    Sadly, that matters very little! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-10-earners-drive-nearly-1... If this is to be believed, regular consumer goods won't matter anymore, and instead…

    The fundamental problem is that everyone is expected to pitch in to help train these AIs, but only a handful of people benefit from it.

    The fundamental problem with interviewing is that you're not preparing yourself to understand a business' problem and needs, but you're preparing to have to impress your potential …

    Probably the only thing holding the reins on AI takeover is the lack of legislative coverage. Once the AI user is not held responsible for the AI's actions, (and let's face it, thi…

    It's brutal out there. I'm currently 36 years years old. I got laid off in March last year from an outsourcing shop because no work was coming, mostly working with PHP, with some J…

    I think the real crux of the issue is : why does education cost so much in the first place? Because it's excessively bloated. I thought European universities were bloated, but they…

    I was there for the total eclipse from august '98. It was absolutely surreal! Chickens were going to bed.

    I hope I am not being too inflammatory by saying this but it's ... quite amusing how sheltered Americans are in thinking that a little political tension is a danger to their own co…

    Of course, this is just an anecdotal observation, but I think what changed weren't the games, but the players. I was playing Dark Age of Camelot back in the day and we'd spend hour…

    This article's conclusion isn't wrong but the premise is. Standups are NOT for developers, they're for business types to tighten grip over a project, to make sure everyone is there…

    I'm in the same boat. Honestly people like to say "x social media sucks" but in actuality it's far simpler than that : people suck in general. Only now you get to see it for yourse…

    >Like, salaries do not seem to have similarly risen, so who the hell is buying these houses? People and institutions looking for a way to 'park' their funds in a safe investment.

    How is your Phaser experience so far? I like how intuitive it feels, but the fact that it uses the same javascript I use at work makes it a huge turn-off for me.

    To be fair, the user profile also changed a lot over the years. What used to be a 'programmer for power user' space, now it's all about minimalism and pretty, dysfunctional interfa…

    This quote sums it up perfectly : “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber b…

    It has been tried before. What happened is that the established players will start giving it away for free until you are out of business.

    When I went to university, a great deal of exams were oral. You would draw a few tickets from a pool and have 10-15 minutes to prepare your answers. I'm sure there are alternative …

    I guess this explains why I feel so trapped. Like a pawn to my own circumstances. To live life is to live in servitude. I'm a slave to my own needs of bread, water and circus. To s…
