I agree that web dev is basically a solved problem, I don’t know why stuff like next.js exists
I have used it for angular and react and have had 0 complaints, it works great and the best is that I do not need to switch IDEs anymore
I haven’t tried cursor because I don’t want to “downgrade” to VS Code anymore.
The easier way to integrate into an existing code base is just to refactor the code yourself. AI gives a working version, you refactor and move on. For me this has been a huge productivity boost from writing everything from scratch
2 is easy to do, 3 is manageable. I've heard of people doing more than 3, but most I've personally seen someone do is 3.
I think many of the points of the article still apply, especially regarding opportunity cost. A great salesman can make way, way more than a great engineer, so why would he want to join me?
And let's say I want to hire my first salesperson. How do I know who is good and who is not? For me as an engineer, everyone looks like a good salesman, because everyone is better than me (I suck at sales)
How often do you use it and have you found any side effects? (or long term effects for that matter)
Or are they completely different things?
Oh boy was I wrong. I tracked over 120 applications, had 20+ open processes with multiple interviews and in the end only got 1 offer (which I took).
From a dev pov, making sure you are easily replaceable means that you could also find a new job easily. So it’s not all bad.
Real high status is law, medicine, etc.
Management is right in trying to remove “personality” imo.
So if I stay with a boring stack, I'd lose competitive advantage and face the potential of being "un-hirable" in the not-so-distant future.
I assume they use some kind of regex to do this, and it works.
I was thinking that maybe in the near future it will be "better" to write with a couple of mistakes here and there just to prove your humanity. Like the common "loose" instead of "lose" mistake, it will be like a stamp proving that you are a human writing.
Try learning Spanish from scratch with a "bad memory" and let me know how it goes.
I interviewed at a company in Dortmund with international customers that paid really well and passed the technical interview, salary was very good for europe, but I am on hold for maybe weeks or months because the customer has not approved new requirements and even current devs are in danger of being let go.
In Munich it seems I am crazy to have a salary expectation of over €100k/year. Only have been offered positions to lead teams for €80-€90k. Individual contributor positions seem very hard to get at least at those salaries, plenty of IC positions for €45k-€60k.
Google here ghosted all my applications since last year.
"I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup:
Tolerance is important, but it should not extend to the "outgroup". An outgroup is defined as those who are perceived as fundamentally different or opposed. Tolerance towards the outgroup can lead to harm to one's own group and undermine social cohesion. It's better to tolerate ideas and individuals within your own group and be intolerant towards the outgroup. This creates a sense of loyalty and strengthens bonds within the group."
Women of all ages look at height, though. So, if you are over 6', you can consider yourself extremely lucky, people are literally breaking their bone legs with a surgery to grow a few inches.
About being lanky. I was also very skinny my whole life, I could eat anything including unhealthy fast food, sodas, etc and never gain weight. I thought that my "metabolism was too fast", that it was genetic, and that I could not change it.
Until this year where I actually wanted a change and went from 130 to 160 lbs (58kg to 72kg). I'm 5'10 (177 cm). And for the first time of my life, I can wear something that actually fits and looks good on me.
I don't know what is going to happen, but less young people and an ever-increasing age in the general population requiring services doesn't sound so good of a combination. Even if your metric "how many hours does a person need to trade to get a particular product or service" goes down.
You are right in your observation that women reject droves of men who aren't in the top 20%, not only in Tinder but in real life too. But OP is also right in his observation. The few males that are at the top have so many choices of women that staying with just one doesn't make too much rational sense.
In the end, we have 80% of males not being able to catch the interest of women, and the remainder 20% that do get female attention are not interested in long term relationships.
My conclusion: Low birth rates are being driven by the 20% of men as a result of the sexual preferences of 95% of women.
Also not all single guys in their early 30s are eager to find a romantic partner. I am also in that age bracket and I am avoiding having another monogamous relationship for at least some years
