Would you mind giving some information about what makes a junior engineer stick out in those threads? I'm currently looking for that type of work and any advice would be greatly ap…

Thanks -- I got in my head a bit today after being passed over for two jobs. I appreciate the positive words, even in this anonymous internet form.

I'm attempting to currently move into a junior SWE role after completing a second BS in Computer Science (I'll be done this fall). I'm 31 and my first degree is in finance. This is…

In the US this is unlikely to happen because the big 4 sports all want to control their own distribution, TV rights, and streaming. I think they believe there's more money in that …

My CS degree was largely taught in C and C++. I couldn't agree more. Moving to Python was incredibly simple from C++. I can't imagine that the reverse would be equally true.

Finance, accounting, engineering, and many other careers have been around longer, have been commoditized to varying degrees, yet still enjoy good pay. I think developers will still…

To add to your point, I think this reinforces the value of spaced repetition learning. It's been show to been one of the best ways to actually retain information. So, as you said, …

Good point, I guess the comment to which I responded could be read two different ways also. No one likes to be forced to do anything, and any perception of unfairness could easily …

The government (the Supreme Court in this case) wasn't speaking for everyone, they were merely protecting the rights of a certain segment of the population. It's an important disti…

Sorry, but these examples aren't properly analogous. A driving equivalent would something like automatic breaking technology. If it was proven that people driving with this were 50…

They also __legally__ unload a large amount of tax burden by working with APs[1] on special custom ETF redemption orders. For example, an AP will place a redemption order for an eq…

It's almost a creative writing contest in some threads. The problem is that just enough situations are verifiable that it blurs into the well written fictional accounts. I spend ti…

It's quite weird, I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. I appreciated your sentiment.

I'm in a similar situation. My first degree was in Finance and I'm currently getting a second degree in CS. I'll be finishing my degree this fall and will be 31. I work in Finance …

If you don't mind me asking, what city?

Fair point.

Do you mean in terms of spending?

I agree in regards to health care that incremental changes may be the only to achieve universal coverage. However, the gutting of the policies by another administration is what sca…

A fear of mine is that MMT gains enough traction to be implemented, but only partially. Similar to what has happened with the ACA. For argument's sake, let's just assume MMT is a s…

And I think he's useful at least as a voice that challenges some conventional mental models for looking at things in math, finance, and decision making. He's not an infallible visi…

I don't think that's the point though. If I understand correctly, the point is that it's okay to charge by usage -- just not specifically giving different rates to different things…

Will do, thanks. I'm hoping I can find time to pop by Cooperage in the next month or so. I'll definitely shoot a message over when I do. I'll check out the Discord server today. Th…
