This is where I would love my old Samsung's "ultra power saving" mode. Nothing but calls and texting on a black and white screen. Almost a week of battery life.

I find this true about nearly all microservices in Go. Microservices are much more useful in something like Node that can only take advantage of 1 OS thread per instance. Without containerization and load balancing in Node you wouldn't be able to scale.

Go on the other hand can efficiently utilize a nearly unlimited amount of threads as necessary with its scheduler. You're much more likely to over-architect if you don't keep this capacity in mind.

I don't understand the appeal of DoorDash, I had an ad pop up for free delivery for a first time user and I happened to not have my car that day so I thought I would give it a go. "free" delivery only got rid of 1 of 3 service charges which had me spending $6 on top of a $9 dollar meal (not including tip). And that was "free" delivery for the first time I ever used the service.

I would love to apply for a CompSci position at a university, but I left college for a high paying engineering role during my freshmen year and the opportunity cost of getting a Ph.D. at this point is very high. I don't think 30 college credits is going to get me very far in academia.

You assume the tinder devs have the freedom to work on what they want to. As frustrating as it is, in big corporate engineering shops, you are paid to do what the execs want to be done, not what you know needs doing.

I find healthy food to be very accessible in the United States if you cook for yourself. Most of our grocery stores have huge varieties of produce and lean proteins are relatively inexpensive. I think eating fast food is becoming more and more common as well as people buying pre-made packaged foods to heat up at home which are often just as unhealthy as fast foods.
