I feel like when Agile first came out the local agile guru was basically an older programmer w/ a ton of years and wisdom under their belt who knew first hand why doing things a particular way was best. It's since becamse a 2 week course for anyone to enter the tech field. Feel the same way about the influx of cybersecurity experts. Those used to be really good devs who also knew a lot about security, now, don't even get me started.

Construction is incredibly expensive. Why that is complicated. In a lot of the ways the problems though is our lack of newer affordable homes. Newer homes tend to cost more and have all the tech. Older homes are cheaper but paying someone else to upgrade them is crazy expensive.

well no duh that's why I go to the gym every morning. Looked at the average salary these peeps are making. Most ppl on here are making double plus some in my area as developers.

I obviously can see your logic but I still think it's your best bet. I also think it's important to point out there's an order of importance. If you have low or no income you're first priority needs to be getting a higher paying job and or up skilling to enable you to get a higher paying job. From there assuming you got a decent job most of us will have a 401k option. You get a tax deduction, tax free growth and most importantly most of us get matching employer contributions of some form. If you put in enough to get the full match over the course of you're career you're going to end up ahead. If you have an HSA sames goes there. If you have a low enough income to qualify for the deduction on an IRA same goes there. Oh yea did I mention 529 for your kids future? Combining investing w/ special accounts that can grow tax free and offer tax deductions are going to maximize you're chances of overall success but again I agree all this is kind of riding on you being in a decent paying field and if you're not already that should be your first priority.

How do snowboarders wreck the slopes anymore than skiers?

I love your book example. I was at my library leafing through books about a subject I know fairly well - none of them were worth my time. The situation is even more dire on popular subjects w/ a low barrier of entry e.g. exercise and nutrion - not that those actually have a low barrier to entry but everyone seems to think they're expert and the populace generally accepts nutrition advice w/ little to no real evidence.

This would explain so much of the conspiracy around them.

Does Dioxus run in a webview on mobile? That's how I'm reading the docs.

Looking at the pictures your way of doing things just seems so much error prone and error prone in a super time consuming kind of way. Like those cuts w/ a chisel have to take a while to do, they have to be precise, and if you screw up the last one the whole board and all the work you just put in it are for waste.

So has Go still held true to this minimalist philosophy?

I 100% agree w/ this and play an enterprise architect type role at my employer but I would totally get lambasted if I proposed this. Honestly a lot of the ppl I work w/ aren't developers and never were. They just have big mouths and climbed the ranks. Sadly they're the ones who write my reviews and could get me canned so I have to play ball.

This college is in my state - it's a rightwing political think tank masquerading as a university.
