If you have a captains license, it is not good if people complain about you. They do investigate.

What do you sail in the area? I'm a member of KYC.

Oh yeah. We have had boats get so close to use where they gave literally splashed us. And this isn't in some confined area, this is in the Raritan bay. They can go anywhere!

I thought the end was really good.

How did the vaccinated person ruin Christmas?

Huh?

This isn't directed at you. Why are we still using phrases like "I think" when we talk about climate change?

Outside doing illegal things, there is no secret. If there was a secret it wouldn't work for long as those things don't stay secret. People who say there is a secret either want attention or your money.

People will think this is expensive and it probably is but not super expensive when talking about espresso machines.

They have taken actions in response to inflation....

They obviously address inflation. Why do you think they do not?

Well. 7% inflation is not insane. Look at it over the last 5 years. Average inflation is not crazy.

Maybe. This sounds exactly like addiction to me.

Yes. Though I do not smoke regularly and it has been probably a year or more since I smoked, even though it is legal in my state.

I am talking from experience here, not just out my ass. I can't imagine how it would be remotely sustainable with two full time jobs, nevermind more than that.

And much much higher for those who are older. What's your point?

I lost about $3k doing algo crypto trading (all of that to fees - without fees I made money! aha) but learned a ton about different programming concepts and had a lot of fun.

That sucks! I'm sure you're aware, but the wasted resources are insane.

Uh, I don't know man. I don't agree. People will always ask you to have a meeting at a time that conflicts with another meeting.

Ah, that does suck. Yes I am a senior developer (or like to call myself that... I guess..)

How many jobs are like that? All the jobs I have had, contractor or otherwise, require at least some meetings. I can't imagine a new hire who is making $150k/yr+ not being in a few meetings a week.

Absolutely. Not for the entire meeting, but I try not to join meetings (at least long ones) where I'm not going to be participating.

Oh yeah totally. By articles I meant not work related stuff (like HN posts or something).

Agreed. I probably think about the problems I am trying to solve during most of the day. However, I don't think that is really work. That is just my brain not being able to shut off. And it isn't concentrated work - it is off and on.

Yes. They do this in a lot of ways.

- Connections: industry, hires, investors

- Investing themselves into the company (bringing capital to help you grow)

- Domain specific knowledge. Hopefully they know the industry better than anyone.

- Management. Do not underestimate how far good management can go. It can really be a productivity multiplier - but the other way is true, too. If you have bad management, you're going to kill productivity.

I absolutely agree.

For a short time I was "working two jobs" as part of a transition (everyone was aware) and I found it almost impossible to even manage one or two meetings a week at each job - conflicts were crazy.

What are you supposed to do when you have a conflict, if you're keeping things secret? "that time doesn't work for me" "uh, why? I just hired you. You have another meeting?"

I haven't ever been high during work hours, but I have tried to program while high. I tunnel vision too hard to get things done. I find it impossible to debug or think about broad solutions. I also am under the suspicion that I'm dumber when high.

Well, this had been a valid way to deal with oil wells that couldn't be capped. Why wouldn't it work for water?

I haven't had this one happen!
