If most of that debt was an investment on energy transition, education, research, we'd be absolutely fine. But from what I gathered it's mostly QE that ends up as extra dividends.

That's really just being a Luddite, I understand the mindset but that's a very poor strategy if one cares about job security. A (good!) senior developer has a ton of value outside of the pure mastery of a language specs, not to mention that learning a language for 1 year with 15 years of prior knowledge really doesn't lead to the same level as a student who does the same.

Does anyone know of a live map where we can see the trajectory of launches? Wondering if starship went above my head during reentry, but I can't find the info

I guess cell-to-pack has some disadvantages otherwise everyone would have started there?

Do you have sources for that claim? Most cities in western Europe have been doing that, and it seems to pay off. The whole of the Netherlands or Copenhaguen are very good examples of policies like these having worked to the perfection, but it takes time for people to change their habits.

Public transports benefit everyone, robotaxis are a toy for rich people in affluent cities

Who did?

I lost my father a couple years ago over the span of a day, too. I was on the receiving end of this. The sad reality is that the people I'd have expected the most from didn't even bother with a heartful message. And others revealed themselves as being the most empathetic and kind. It takes that experience to learn to spot the ones who actually deserve your friendship, I guess.

The other sad reality is that aside from the deeply selfish and unkind, we will all go through grief and have to deal with it. Being supportive of others when they do is crucial, but we don't have to feel as much pain as them to achieve that.

good devs*, not all senior devs have learned that, sadly. As a junior dev I've worked under the rule of senior devs who were over-applying arbitrary principles, and that wasn't fun. Some absolute nerds have a hard time understanding where their narrow expertise is meant to fit, and they usually don't get better with age.

The uninhabited ones? Aside from politicians, does anyone care really?

Not much more than reviewing the code of any average dev who doesn't bother doing their due diligence. At least with an AI I immediately get an answer with "Oh yes, you're right, sorry for the oversight" and a fix. Instead of some bullshit explanation to try to convince me that their crappy code is following the specs and has no issues.

That said, I'm deeply saddened by the fact that I won't be passing on a craft I spent two decades refining.

How is that relevant?
