I dont care what side of the issue your on, you cant think this is ok.

had a pretty awful interview experience there a while back. Can't say I experienced great people

the tulip bubble lasted like 8 months

She is the best. Her premium membership is worth it.

try not to focus on the alice and bob portion of the explanation

don't underestimate some of the problems the author listed here. Language barriers & timezone challenges will cause the roadmap to move so much slower that you've lost gains on saving that 3/4 price.

the syntax of styled-components plays so nicely with actual reusable components. A mesh of tailwind syntax with reusable components feels weird. But mostly, a div with 10 classes each doing one small thing is so unreadable

personally I find tailwind to be atrocious looking and can't understand anyone preferring it to styled-components

Everyone in big tech knows product direction comes top down with tons of product reviews along the way. There is no way you have this big of a screw up without major culture issues or more likely, leadership wanted to gamble and didn't think it would be this bad.

The workforce gets the consequences for leaderships decisions

I am remote

All fair points on the money printing parts. I am well aware Trump printed trillions as well. I wasn't a fan then and not now.

state laws != federal laws. I am pro-choice but I think allowing states to make decisions for their own is good and the system is working as intended. I want states to have more freedom to legislate what their constituents want than a giant federal government making decisions for the whole nation.

The taxes proposed in the infrastructure bill are egregious. For the first time in my entire life I will make a decent amount of money this year and will bump right into top bracket. Giving the government over 50% is insane.

I never said covid wasn't a big deal, or that is wasn't a problem. Again, I said I took it seriously. But to have any sort of lockdowns/mandates at this point are not cool. Or make me choose between a job or some unnecessary medical treatment. the goal posts on vaccine metrics or herd immunity are constantly moved. No one talks about natural immunity. Biden has used excessively divisive language emboldening people who are pro vaccine to accost those who haven't received the vaccine.

honestly this could be an onion article

I suppose I fall in the a republican camp so i'll bite.

College is too expensive for what it gives. You gain a ton in maturity, soft skill building but unless you're in a STEM major, the material does not prepare you for the real world. Depending on what my kid wants to study, I will not be encouraging college.

So much journalism is so insanely biased. I respectfully disagree to anyone who thinks Biden is treated the same as Trump was.

I don't deny covid's existence at all. I took it very seriously in the beginning of the pandemic. But as more data came out, I realized it wasn't a big deal for my age group. I later got covid and only lost sense smell/taste for 4 days. Didn't feel the need to miss any work (remote job).

I don't like the boomer-esque decisions some of these republicans make in regards to tech security, abortion, or cannabis but I guess I have to side with that over freedom reducing laws, excessive money printing, and increased taxes

I use StartPage over DDG. The results are just way better. Likely because StartPage anonymously using google index.

However, for programming related questions I couldn't live without google.

you can't put a price on the feeling I get when 5-530 hits, and I step outside my home office to see my family and start unwinding for the evening. No wasted time on commute and the options for places to live are endless. Not to mention I eat my own food on my lunch break.

I miss some interaction/bonding with coworkers and certainly acknowledge that "hallway talk" helped clear up requirements but the pros of work from home life are incomparable to the cons. I will never go back to an office

I am in my 2nd year as a FE so still learning a lot. I've found that I am very good at reading other peoples code. I think being self taught and initially starting as a solo founder before entering the professional world helped me greatly in this department.

However, I am not as strong at getting a project going. I've underestimated how long it will take me to do something or missed key parts that should have been thought through. Hoping this chalks up to still being new-ish at my craft and in time I get better at this.

im so bummed on evernote. Ive used them forever. I just needed a note taking app in the cloud. They've evolved into a bloated piece of software thats like a crappy version of google docs. I'll checkout this Joplin app

The patriot act deserves another look and possible edit.

once you give the gov power, it is never given back to the people.

or we could just go nuclear

ah thats much more reasonable. The reviews on this phone are pretty awful although looks like its rather new to the market.

Anyone who comes across this comment use one?

commenting here as I share the same exact sentiment. I guess I am going to look into LineageOS which falls in the de-googled category but im not sure I am in love with that idea.

edit: Whoa, 2K for that purism phone. fuckin' a.

I am going to give this lineageOS on an android device a shot. This is one of the most egregious things Apple has ever done

1 million percent. Have 0 faith it ever happens when looking at the average age of congress. Of course I doubt they even care

ah shoot I swear I looked before posting. Obviously not hard enough

As a company, Apple is obviously free to do whatever they please with their products.

As a self marketed "privacy" company. What a joke.

modern day treasure hunters. so damn cool

To me its a slippery slope that we are just giving more power to the companies & reducing individual choice. Now it's mandate a vaccine, next its take pep pills to overcome poor performance reviews or all employees must abstain for alcohol.

In the future could we argue that since most felons come from low income households, that you need to be of a certain income threshold to reproduce?

These are batshit crazy things but where does it end? You dont really believe that it'll stop with this vaccine?

I totally agree with you. I just don't agree with forcing/mandating anything. People should be able to decide for themselves what risk tolerance they want to be apart of.

If people perceived covid to be as deadly as it is made out to be, we wouldn't have low vaccination rates. People are not getting the vaccine because they don't see a need too.

thats an incredibly loose definition and up for manipulation

interesting precedent for the future. Whats an 'emergency'? Whats is the point of an FDA review at this point?
