then you also have to realize that you are in the minority, even within your field. the vast majority of software engineers dont make nearly that much.

> Student debt is a personal responsibility. It is a personal choice.

While I agree with you, to an extent, you cannot ignore than many young people were pressured into going to college, and going to a 'good school' by the authority figures in their life at the time (be it parents or school counselors).

they were sold the lie that college would pay for itself, and for many it has not.

I got lucky, personally, and don't have much in the way of college debt due to scholarships and such, but my degree is still just a very expensive piece of paper since I have done absolutely nothing with it.

might as well drop apple laptops, as well, since Pluton is pretty much Secure Enclave for PC.

I lived in low-sec for the majority of my time playing EVE. Was a Gal-mil rat that took any fight I could find. Still have good memories of some pretty crazy fights, and some pretty fun engagements. One of my favorites was making a mining barge into a trap for pirates and killing them when they tried to engage me.

The solo pvp life worked until off-grid boosting became so prevalent that most fights were no longer 1v1 even if there were only two ships actively shooting each other. When one ship is boosted to the gills because of a squadron mate somewhere in a safe-spot providing fleet boosts, things got less fun, and I ended up quitting.

as much as i get annoyed by the azure cli, after using both aws and azure, I think azure has a better developer experience, imo.

which is saying something, because my developer experience using azure was pretty bad. lol

I'm genuinely curious about this. I skimmed the article and didn't see mention of this, but does the statute of limitations apply here?

if you can't afford the bureaucracy of employees, then maybe you shouldn't be hiring.

> The job of the CEO is to keep the firm going, not to make employees happy

lol. keep pissing off employees and see how long you can 'keep the firm going'.

that mindset makes no damn sense.

I like to think it is more just a very vocal minority that are psychos.

> It is a claim without proof which discredits people failing in a remote job. Comes pretty close to an insult TBH.

It was an opinion. Given based on someone's anecdotal experience.

I'll stand by my original statement regarding whether that is a personal attack:

> No it isn't.

___

> lol.. what a blanket statement.

agreed on that point. I believe that statement definitely missed the mark, imo.
