Partial documentation combined with complex code will be great for your bank account.

Code fast, and badly, always under promise and over deliver. Before the shit hits the fan, move to another place.

Next person after you will take the blame. You may be hired again at premium as you can deliver. Blame the replacement Dev for breaking the code and causing a lot of damage.

Fix the little that is possible, at premium rate and move on.

I enjoy hiking and bake at home, both maybe cause dust like matter to destroy a very expensive device.

A foldable costs more than my laptop and tablet combined. While being less resilient and less capable.

I'm not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.

I will pay premium for durability, fixability, modularity and for gnu/Linux that mobile device that can interface with android apps that society forces me to use.

After the shit they pulled with the Nokia 9 PureView, how can someone bet money on their crap?

The newly freed 40+GB are a nice bonus.

I don't see a reduced number of CS students that enjoy poking around. I see an increase in the number of students that are there only for the good salary. Making the poking type into a smaller percentage.

Simple text editor. To create failing test by hand, closing in on a bug in the code.

Now run a VM from Google Cloud on a system booted from Google Cloud.

Bioinformatics isn't used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don't have.

You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.

They are not limiting their foot print to 1/4 acre. They are using bikes, using glass and forge the forest.

It's like offloading your aluminum production to another country and claiming you are living 100% on renewable.

Current western left wing values is too broad of a term.

From great ideas such as equal rights, that goes into the small details. Phrasing questions in classrooms to males only for examples. With great science behind it to show that it in fact removes success bias for males in maths.

To destructive ideas such as diversity hires.

From great ideas such as financial help to disabled people.

To destructive ideas such as forcing small businesses to be accessable with heavy fines that may break them.

From great ideas such as opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

To destructive ideas such as supporting Hamas. Which is a big WTF for me.
