Cash, as in free cash flow. Maybe not the best usage of the term, but better than revenue. And secret in that people in this niche don’t advertise the opportunity as new competitio…

I’m amused that the 100x dev caught more flack than a likely solo $B bootstrap. In my view developer ability follows the Pareto distribution. I was born to program and have done it…

Yes, I would rate my development productivity to be roughly 100x of an average developer.

It’s one of those secret but profitable niches.

Lol, this is me, a 100x dev, screwed over by big co employer. Decide to go solo and slowly build a company to compete with them. Started part time 12 years ago. I think I could eas…

AFAIK the Afghan commanders stole their soldiers pay so the soldiers sold their weapons to the Taliban. The Taliban taking it back over seems like a natural consequence.

Nothing new was discovered here and the key terminology is used incorrectly. To be fair, most of the industry are amateurs, but most people don’t write medium posts and continue to…

US companies are now being hoisted by their own petard. There are not that many exploitable smart people left, even internationally. In my applied research niche they already hired…

Some tech jobs are only available in a handful of companies that were a part of the cartel. Some of us took the bet that a big investment in education in one of these specialties w…

You mean Germany?

I presume he would have known his writing style was unique and expected people to figure it out once he got what he wanted. It’s an interesting read.

I became known as a conspiracy theorist amount my friends when I told them about this. A week later the Snowden revelations came out and yet somehow I’m still the conspiracy theori…

It occurred in both Windows and Ubuntu. In Windows “Never” wasn’t an option for Sleep (edit; I forget if it wasn’t an option or selecting it didn’t work), in Ubuntu the usual disab…

Years ago I bought a tiny hockey puck sized computer to act as an internal web server. AFAIK there seemed to be no way for me to prevent it from going to sleep, I presume it was du…

The SFO has a habit of not finding sufficient evidence, I wouldn’t read too much into that other than perhaps they too are incompetent. In my view they are also likely corrupt as w…

AFAIK it was good old fashioned accounting fraud. Losses booked as marketing expenses, lifetime revenue of contracts booked immediately, bundling overpriced software with underpric…

The Serious Fraud Office has corruption problems; so I wouldn’t expect much justice out of them at all. Mike Lynch is the bad guy in this. Autonomy was an intentional fraud that wa…

A theory that I ascribe to is that Long Covid is viral induced CFS/ME. As someone with hEDS I've battled CFS/ME for most of my life. I don't want to celebrate too soon but in the l…

Megadose B3 2000mg per day does seem to be commonly effective. The theory is NAD+. Gives me a headache so an aspirin is needed as well but was one of the first treatments that pull…

And I think it’s weird when people assume that nature would conform to morality. That would be convenient and I’m suspicious of convenience. It’s a proposed causation hence the ‘ma…

It could be genetic. RCCX gene mutations may make people more susceptible to CF/ME and being a software developer. For most people CF/ME will present as burnout.

One of the ironies in banning right wing voices from popular platforms is that you teach their audiences that they have to more proactive in supporting their content.

I’m sure the Navy wished it wasn’t canceled, and the Marines probably would have been happy with Harriers. The stealth window of usefulness is closing anyway with improved radar.
