Probably because the 1x engineer isn’t a complete moron.

You would have to be a complete moron to really care about any of this crap, unless of course you’re helping people. However- you’re not. And if you are, good for you.

Hah! My car is even older than that. But it is still far more interesting than useless saas apps. Nice try though.

I hate cars. I consider every second inside a car a waste of my life. I could not care less about cars.

"Oh but cylinders and 0 to 60 and horsepower and torque"... Fuck cars! Fuck every fucking single car ever created. Fuck them all.

Well if you honestly find the pointless complicated code you write for whatever stupid pointless startup more interesting than cars I guess maybe I just think you’re a moron? Wasn’t that the point of my original post???

I bike and walk more than you do by the way. Actually come to think of it my van has appreciated! LOL!

Why would you pick something you consider stupid and pointless as your occupation?

Why not becoming a professional cyclist if you put so much value on that?

Because they are smart enough to realize they could make a shitload more money in their current occupation and treat their cycling as a hobby. Often times once you make your hobby turn into an job it no longer is fun. …maybe… never actually tested that theory personally so I don’t actually know if it is true.
