Generally that high rent is an opportunity cost. Saving 3k/month by living in rural Wyoming instead of NYC when you’re in your 20s is not desirable unless you want to be a really sad person with no friends.

I’m still happy people are writing about these things and that’s making conversations happening. What he described could happen to anyone at any level.

I hear you but in this situation what else can be done other than marching forward with self reliance and accepting the circumstances?

I just searched in moma with variations of “git5 productivity” and no such study showed up. Neither LoC nor commit count is a good metric to represent a developer’s productivity.

In my personal opinion, using a git/hg like interface makes it lot easier to work on a complicated CL because you can maintain internal local branches and you can easily revert your incremental changes. That’s not at all possible in perforce. I just can’t see how git/hg interface can make anyone less productive.

I wasn’t doubting on existence of a research team like that. I was doubting on the research mentioned. You cannot just say people who use a particular tool (like git or git5) are less productive. That’s just absurd.

You have to be bluffing. I never heard of such internal research. How is even productivity measured in a context like this?

If you had used a plugin manager like Vundle, you could have simply uninstalled the plugin that's giving you trouble.

It doesn't work that way. Silicon Valley is flooded with wanna-bes. So even if you're cash strapped you can still hire. Madison WI isn't.

For the same reason it's easier to hire an actor in LA.

If you're supposed to be a professional software engineer and can't do fizzbuzz under pressure that's same as saying you're a professional soccer player but you can't tie your shoe under pressure. That bar is so low that it doesn't matter whether there was any pressure or not.

That sounds like a great start up idea. Cloudflare of payment fraud.
