Sure, you can go homestead in Alaska. That should reduce demand in your city :)

"I live above a bowling alley, and below another bowling alley" Rent has gotten so outrageous that this is a good thing now.

This is 100% true for progressing to management. However the OP doesn't want management, which is fine, that's what principals are for. They should just find a good "servant leader…

Valve. They're kind of dysfunctional from what I hear.

Oh god no. No please don't let "power-users" anywhere near a Low Code framework. It doesn't take long for them to fuck up and go ask a real developer what is wrong. I've seen thing…

I'm in a public university IT department on the administrative side. If the professors would like to do admissions, then I encourage them to do so. If the professors would like to …

A couple weeks ago my block was hit by thieves who got remote entry into a bunch of Toyotas and Hondas. I wonder if that's how they did it.

I am hyper cognizant of that as a manager. I have to teach my new people not to fear me, because a lot of working class people come from industries where your boss is NOT your frie…

Probably exactly that. Looking for devs who used an if statement instead of a ternary operator. Not realizing that its sometimes really fucking useful to have readable code. Or the…

It's wild to me that they can basically print counterfeit USD and put it on their SEC filings, and the Treasury is just okay with it.

Sure you can sue them. The employee contractor line is a big part of labour law, and can affect UK mandated legal protections and benefits. The only problem is that a labour lawyer…

I got both. Managing a low complexity worker and a high complexity worker requires vastly different styles. Managing a factory production line is very different (down to Left Hand …

I mean, yeah? There are very few people who can go straight from my question to the answer. And pausing to collect your thoughts is much better than saying uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh ummmm…

Why not? They need digital soldiers. They farm spec-ops from the best grunts, so this would give them a pool to recruit their information warefare people from. The Army isn't a bus…

I'm amazed at how many developers need ridiculous complexity to feel like they've accomplished something. I feel that too many people are focused on building resume keywords than s…

The purpose of more complicated solutions is to prevent devs from becoming bored and leaving. In my experience, KISS results in the easiest solution to maintain. Then I get a litan…

The lowest grade I got in my business degree was Information Systems. The reason I got that grade is that I made a case for in-sourcing development based on my personal experience,…

Yeah its been wild seeing my grocery budget max out before the end of the month, despite having a good buffer a year before. YNAB has a great "cover overspending from" feature that…

Its supposed to measure the effects of inflation on the wealthy, which is why substitutes are important, because it impacts their grocery stocks. You can starve.

This is an excellent business model! Its the complete rejection of "Right of first sale" and the entire concept of ownership. Its an inversion of communism where instead of the sta…

This is a complete fantasy. I'm glad you paid attention in your ethics class, but Ben & Jerry's is now owned by Unilever. Take a look at beloved Costco. Blackstone took over the bo…

It isn't just a Mac issue. I had a i9 / 64GB Ram windows laptop which turned into a furnace when I ran teams. I've been doing a lot of work on the couch over the pandemic and it wa…

A self-employed accountant once told me that you take your hourly wage and triple it. 1/3 is your salary, 1/3 is for business expenses and taxes, 1/3 is for when you don't have wor…
