This looks sick! Thanks for building this!
One of his newer tunes, which is dedicated to his late parents, is an absolute ripper [1].
Long live Aphex Twin.
What did you guys think would happen?
That the company who hired you to build a surveillance monopoly on the internet was going to look out for your best interests?
On a long enough timeline, many SWEs will engineer their job out of existence. Those left over will have to compete with the mythical 10x engineer and the latest AGI shitbot that can debug code all day long without ever having to take a bathroom break, or maternity leave.
To those affected: don’t capitulate to, or engage with the pity machine. It’s all cope. Those jobs, that headcount, is never coming back.
Take your skills and go build something you actually have true equity in.
Godspeed code monkey.
Funny how that works.
A war, famine, or general economic collapse (or all of the above) on a very large scale would technically solve this.
This is what I believe policy makers and corporations think, and of course, none of them are saying that quiet part out loud.
These people are destined to a life of solitude, and almost all of them deserve it.
How did you build it?
Yeah, there is. Even if there's a point somewhere in there (there's not), Uber is not qualified to make those judgement calls.
Save the greater good bullshit for the company picnic.
Where do you think these people work?
TLDR; Their parents are proud of them, let's not fuck that up for them.
And yes, China bad.
Once the singularity is nearly complete you'll know: macOS and iOS will merge into one monolithic OS.
I 100% agree that's it's arbitrary, and my figure wasn't a source of categorical, universal truth, but guess what? The hardest questions in life resides squarely in a GREY area.
I'd even argue that your intense rationality and reliance on systems (no matter how ineffective, or even untrue) is a crutch because, in theory, you will always be at odds with the proletariat.
And what good is that?
Taxation is not and will never be in a place that serves the commonwealth, rather it will always align with those closer to power.
Have you not been paying attention?
I don't believe everyone should get the same slice. I just believe that 200 million is a far cry from your salary. If that was untrue you wouldn't be talking shit on a message board.
We have a different value system.
I think we, collectively, as humans well define some vague idea as to what's acceptable and what's not, because no matter how smart you are, the realities that humans in motion provide are a couple more orders of magnitude more complex than your SPA repo. And it should be.
Should definitely not be more than FIVE times what he makes. Because you're not 5x smarter, efficient, or important as FIVE (5) janitors. Period.
And if you think you are and you're using the "free market" as a factor, well then I'm sure you think BTC should of ever been worth 60k or that Tesla should be worth $900 a share.
It's incredible that people plant their morality within the confines of a "definitely rational market that's definitely not experiencing a bubble".
You're entitled to your opinion, and by all means share it—but in my earnest (peasant, non-leet) opinion, I think I can draw a straighter, truer, more direct corollary from a persons idea of what fair is (no matter how opaque) than I can from whatever bullshit he types in as a reply.
Agree to definitely disagree. No apologies.
Did I say the feds should set the limit? Why can't a respectable board set respectable limits? Cause they don't give a fuck about anything except the stock price EVEN if it means that others suffer in their wake.
That's why. That's the side you're on. Miss me with that libertarian Thiel bullshit.
