Also from FAQ :

> A programming font with cursive italics and ligatures is the worst idea in the world. This is absolutely horrible. BTW, I am really angry.

> [Answer:] Not really a question, but anyway: People actually like different things. And it's OK. It's OK if someone else prefers a different font for code than you do. We don't have to use the same one. ️

(though obv. parent post is not hostile like this Q)

From the OP's section titled "Why?" :

> When it comes to programming fonts, I prefer something strict, readable and relatively condensed for the code proper, complemented with a more informal, flowing and human style for things like comments and reserved keywords.

I think it's a fashion thing with a thin veneer of eye strain reduction (since, AFAIK, there's little conclusive evidence dark mode matters here)

This is one of my favorite features of Soylent and the like. If I drink 2-3 bottles a day, I know I can have one avg sized meal and/or snack and still be under a reasonable daily calorie ceiling.

though it definitely doesn't solve your limited menu point, I've always found getting 70% or so of my calories from soylent to be way more sustainable than eating the same regular foods every day.

got my MBA, _then_ learned to code while trying to build a startup, so became 'technical' and 'managerial' at about the same time.

I think my MBA taught me how to view the business at a systems level. When you consider the various financial and performance metrics that managers look at, a business is just another engineering problem.

w/o the MBA, I'm not sure when I would've learned that way of thinking.

I run an MBA admissions site on the side and did some analysis on this.

tl;dr if you are confident an MBA can create a step increase in annual comp of even $10k, the cost is more than covered over the remainder of your career.

Isn't that most of opinion journalism, period, since forever?

The best example of this imo is the "USA PATRIOT" act, or:

"Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism"

title is a little clickbait-y. Firefox didn't "axe add-ons" (ie, the add-ons isn't going away):

> Mozilla has wiped 23 extensions from its directory of Firefox browser add-ons after finding what it says were inappropriate functions in the code.

Auto bill pay is a boon.

Hire a tax preparer. It costs more than doing it yourself, but I find we often discount the cognitive cost of just doing a thing when considering whether to outsource stuff.

In other words, build / use systems to minimize the impact of your own limitations on your responsibilities.
