Cheap stocks people. Got my eye on some that below a certain price it would be a no brainer to buy. Global trade is rerouting around the bottleneck.

Didn't think there would be an opportunity so soon after March 2020.

Got my eye on a tech stock that has dropped about 40% already but was undervalued before IMO.

We are not at the stage where AI can replace graduates. No where near. I worked with an intern recently and it was a pleasure. The quality was excellent. An AI couldn't do what they did. In particular it cannot be accountable or really learn anything. Beyond adding more instructions but that is not tacit knowledge. That is like giving a run book to an idiot who doesn't have experience and may or may not understand it.

Stop talking about coding and talk about what humans do.

Otherwise chatgpt could replace any politician because it can recognize and say words. Wording is dead what now!

A side project is creative while work is reductive (not necessarily a bad thing!)

Side project is graffiti art on your shed wall, day job is 3 coats gloss white on the ceilings. That needs to be finished by Friday.

I have some side project ideas but need the time! Mainly these would be contributing to OSS databases to get (any!) knowledge of systems proprogramming. Node.js or Go preferred due to familiarity.

Oh nice. A culture where asking questions is punished. If this was a problem don't fire people. Train them. Make sure everyone does required training. If they refuse then you may have a case for PIP.

Otherwise it is just landmine driven performance

Rant not at comment! But the situation of the comment. Hope it worked out for you!

I'd forgive a few of those. Unicode is Unicode. The for loop capture behaviour makes sense to me. Missing semis should also be in your linter. Sparse arrays is the sort of feature you'd read up on if you use and not rely on intuition. It makes sense that if you loop over a sparse thing the looping is sparse too.

This make no sense. Tariffs are paid by the supplier who is receiving money from the US customer. Are you saying if they pay the tariff in doge coins the tariff is zero doge coins?

As for other polices that "punish USD" "reward MagicCoins" ... well the market would hopefully see both currencies as crap and use Euros or Yuan. Or maybe new currency baskets will emerge to decentralise power.

Yeah I think this why "Book a call" level customers are really subsidising it. Say $10/m/u and you get 200 seats. You pay $2000/m but the bugs you hit are likely uniform so you loaf support like maybe 20 individual users. 20 individual users only bring in 10%. So you need the whales to keep it going.

Which is like burning all the houses (including your own) so you can use your houses to buy other people's houses cheap.

This only works if you have superior manufacturing infra. To some extent the FAANGs export tech. But if FAANG is a tiny thing compared to say Toyota.

I don't think it is obvious to everyone that a 20 year old laptop had a better survival chance over the next year than a new one.

Most people think old is more fragile.

Sometimes it is though (e.g. parts for a plane need to be replaced every X hours of service)

What about libraries though? They might force you to use certain monads rather than IO?

Well yeah choosing what to query, a filter and an order is at the heart of all query-like things. Buy SQL specifically is a text language not a fluent api.
