    You get downvoted because the question is redundant. It's like asking who is paying for the next gen iPhone or whatever. You buy the product as is and when a new better generation …

    I’m not sure this applies to companies like Apple. Plenty of people will jump at the chance to replace those who quit Apple over a wfh stalemate. If you don’t have Faang on your cv…

    Sure it is. From wiki: Rent-seeking is the effort to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth. Landlords soak up all excess income from increased product…

    I'm from Dublin and Dublin's problem is two fold. First of all, many of the politicians are landlords so have a massive conflict of interest. Second is zoning laws are outrageously…

    It's good and I wouldn't complain if this was an outcome however better yet would be a system that allows people to buy their own homes. One of the major pitfalls and imo systemic …

    There is no space for that without radical rezoning and densification. The alternative is every city turning into massive urban sprawl which is entirely undesirable. If you are sug…

    There should be a global rule that non-residents can't buy property. Homes should be prioritised for living not investments. It's a drag on the global economy with so much money be…

    It's not poor code it's just code that prioritises shipping now over writing for some hypothetical future state.

    In Germany we have car owner clubs which provide all these services and more. I am a member of ADAC for example. It's cheap and the service level is amazing. Have you considered th…

    I use nocode tools all the time, just not for building products. They’re great but they are also limited. If you hit any kind of success with your prototype you have to be ready to…

    If you can solve your issues with a google form then use a google form. I would never start a simple project as an app. All my coded projects are more complex than that. Some might…
