joebiden2024··on My Path to Financial Independence as a Software Engineer
Sure, how about something like PfizerPham2021 (a play on my name)
joebiden2024··on My Path to Financial Independence as a Software Engineer
I’m in a similar but worse boat - my net worth is only now reaching $375k after 3 years in the market. Most of my friends and coworkers are pushing 750k to 5-7 million.

The biggest takeaway is, of course, in-flow over spending.

You can get a good education at public institutions lol. I’ve only gone to public schools.
joebiden2024··on Amazon Introduces Re:Post, a “Stack Overflow” for AWS
I read that as a different internal only system for AWS specific things.

How interesting. Amazon has an internal stackoverflow (Sage), wouldn't be surprised if they just forked and externalized it.

It's not liquid, and probably won't be.

I used to be at Amazon and my TC was only $200k.

joebiden2024··on Goddamn AWS seems to be down again 4th time this month alone
Unclear on this one, but wasn’t the last one caused by power failure in an AZ?
joebiden2024··on How to Set Low Expectations at Your Two Remote Jobs
God I wish I could make anywhere close to that. I'm 3 years in and my highest TC offer was about $300k at Square. I ended up taking slightly less for a more interesting startup but even that's still just $275k.

Life at the bottom rung is not pretty in the slightest!

joebiden2024··on Human geneticists curb use of the term ‘race’ in their papers
Which difference are you alleging that isn't being talked about?
joebiden2024··on Human geneticists curb use of the term ‘race’ in their papers
What information does "race" tell us that "ethnicity" and "ancestry" does not? Does saying something is of Ghanian or Inuit origin less informative than saying they're black or native-American?

Can these output video as well?

Scaling up would still exclude nearly everyone, including the namesake of my username and the most powerful man in the world.
joebiden2024··on Abolish Yale
They don’t need to scale up, there are 3000 other institutions of higher learning in America

I’m glad this was written, because I know for a fact this wouldn’t be discussed at all if it was written by a Virginia Tech or University of Connecticut student
joebiden2024··on Microsoft CEO sells half his stock, weeks before WA state implements gains tax
Inslee has improved his margin in his 3 statewide elections so clearly the more WA citizens see of him the more they like him. His COVID response was excellent and the best in the country, IMHO.

Stony Brook, Binghamton and the publicly funded colleges at Cornell provide excellent educations, and that’s disregarding the historical excellence of the CUNY schools. I’ll grant you the subways though.
joebiden2024··on Microsoft CEO sells half his stock, weeks before WA state implements gains tax
Washington has one of the best universities in the country, excellent secondary education, and is home to two of the largest tech companies in the world. It’s a shining example of American excellence to the world, and you think people will leave because of capital gains? This is silly.
