I've never worked anywhere where the role of a Sr was to glue together a bunch of small pieces written by a team of Jr devs. I've only worked places where Jr's were given roughly t…

If we can keep the price of homes flat for 10 years then homeowners won't get hosed (still increasing equity by paying off principle) and homes get more affordable (assuming steady…

If a hotel could offer me a house like experience I would definitely be interested. I agree with the sentiment that Airbnbs are weird with the checkout chores and lack of regulatio…

You sound like someone who has developed a good work ethic and is comfortable with struggle. Likely because you didn't grow up with a magic thinking box to ask for help at the firs…

None of these things are related to age or amount of experience. Someone with 20 years of mediocre experience will be mediocre, and they may also have a false sense of their own ab…

Sounds like we agree, enforce all the laws.

All I want is for the laws on the books to be enforced. If a majority decides those laws are bad, they should be taken off the books. Its currently against the law to litter, shopl…
