500k is common for senior engineers

Walmart doesn’t pay that well and isn’t regarded as a great tech place to work. It’s a good job, but someone who’s really serious about programming wouldn’t work there

I’ve got better things to do, and it’s widely known that finance academia is worthless. The inner workings of the investing world is opaque. That’s why you see people posting logically sounding nonsense

Yes the same funds usually are the top ones. There’s one offs like people who made money in 2008 etc. but it’s the same people always beating the market. The industry is really small, I don’t need a false and misleading academic study

I just think the distribution of wealth that we are shown, “only .x% of the country have 50 million” is way off from reality.

I just don’t buy the wealth distribution that they are showing us. I don’t think the government even knows the true wealth distribution. I think it’s also partly political, they can’t go, “hey! Look how many people have 100 million!”

I have a conspiracy theory that there are far more rich people than we are lead to believe, also that most of us are just working to prop them up and keep them rich.

Monetary stimulus -> crypto.

Thanks FED!

Java is miserable to write. You don’t realize this until you work with other languages. It was literally built with guardrails to keep enterprise coders from getting too creative

Yup. Now apply the same thinking to the rest of government
