And national service unless you leave the country long enough to age out.

So in your head, people are rich because they throw away their money?

Nothing says “cheap” more than clothes which are pretending to be expensive. If you’re going to dress up, wear your better clothes that are in your normal style.

Personally I wouldn’t bother. Just wear what you normally wear. Not everyone is interested in clothes even if they have money.

How about “To learn it to that level will take 10,000 hours I don’t have”? Does that make more sense to you?

“learn Rust” in this case is learn it to a level where all of the little behaviour around cross language integrations are understood and security flaws won’t be introduced. Expert level.

It’s not “I did a pet project over the weekend”.

…and people worry about the name of a git branch.

I’m trying to understand Git, but it’s a giant conceptual leap.

To start with, start with just using git locally. Don’t worry about GitHub or similar. Then git and SVN will work very similarly. The main difference is that you need to git add files with changes inside before you commit them.

Once you’re comfortable with using it by yourself, then I suggest running something like forgejo locally to be your own code server. Then you can play and learn how the two parts work together.

Generally, you need to give yourself a little time. You need to do the work. Be efficient…sure, but don’t try to force it to be quicker than the time you need to learn.

Right, so you just have a single step and then hand over to a proper script. I’ve seen many people try to put much more complex logic in there before handing over to a proper language.

Right. It’s the “People’s car”. The strategy was in the name.

…with our expensive EVs…

They can’t compete on price primarily.

There is no genocide untill every last one of them is dead.

Config is fine, but Yamls biggest problem is people use it to describe programs. For example: playbooks. For example: CI steps.

If YAML wasn’t abused in this way it would have a lot less hate.

Sometimes your longest serving engineers can be your biggest anchor. Good engineers are (justifyably) highly opinionated about what can be done, but sometimes it turns into “what I do works, so all other ways are wrong”. At that point the best move for them might be to go learn how somebody else does it. Wish them well, and back a different horse.

Often the money if far more than the individual realises.

1. Depending on the country, there may be taxes or other benefits which rise to the same degree or more.

2. Members of the team or grade need to be paid amounts which are within some range so that everything is fair.

You may feel you’re worth more than the majority of others, but it’s rarely the truth.

A VP was brought in at the company I used to work for that claimed “I need to offer candidates substantial increases or else I won’t attract top talent”. He started hiring people at a significantly higher rate. (I left at this point) Soon, the other engineers found out and all hell broke loose. They demanded equal pay.

The company is currently in financial difficulties. The salary bill got too big. They’re now struggling to complete the projects underway because they’ve had to cut staff and the 40yo company is probably going to be swallowed up.

Bad Britain has 4 countries thank you very much.

Is that an armadillo? Forgetting how my own code works is my forte.

Shrinkflation is smaller quantities

Yes

and/or higher prices.

No. That’s just normal inflation.

Well we had to vote in a whole new government and then wait for them to get back from holiday.

From a exterior perspective China is not it’s people. It’s people are silenced. China’s words and actions are only those of the leadership. It would be wonderful if we heard the voice of the people when dealing with China. Sadly we have to deal with their subjugators.
