then you also have to realize that you are in the minority, even within your field. the vast majority of software engineers dont make nearly that much.

> Student debt is a personal responsibility. It is a personal choice.

While I agree with you, to an extent, you cannot ignore than many young people were pressured into going to college, and going to a 'good school' by the authority figures in their life at the time (be it parents or school counselors).

they were sold the lie that college would pay for itself, and for many it has not.

I got lucky, personally, and don't have much in the way of college debt due to scholarships and such, but my degree is still just a very expensive piece of paper since I have done absolutely nothing with it.

I have never trusted Oracle with anything important.

might as well drop apple laptops, as well, since Pluton is pretty much Secure Enclave for PC.

I lived in low-sec for the majority of my time playing EVE. Was a Gal-mil rat that took any fight I could find. Still have good memories of some pretty crazy fights, and some pretty fun engagements. One of my favorites was making a mining barge into a trap for pirates and killing them when they tried to engage me.

The solo pvp life worked until off-grid boosting became so prevalent that most fights were no longer 1v1 even if there were only two ships actively shooting each other. When one ship is boosted to the gills because of a squadron mate somewhere in a safe-spot providing fleet boosts, things got less fun, and I ended up quitting.

as much as i get annoyed by the azure cli, after using both aws and azure, I think azure has a better developer experience, imo.

which is saying something, because my developer experience using azure was pretty bad. lol

I'm genuinely curious about this. I skimmed the article and didn't see mention of this, but does the statute of limitations apply here?

if you can't afford the bureaucracy of employees, then maybe you shouldn't be hiring.

> The job of the CEO is to keep the firm going, not to make employees happy

lol. keep pissing off employees and see how long you can 'keep the firm going'.

that mindset makes no damn sense.

> It is a claim without proof which discredits people failing in a remote job. Comes pretty close to an insult TBH.

It was an opinion. Given based on someone's anecdotal experience.

I'll stand by my original statement regarding whether that is a personal attack:

> No it isn't.

___

> lol.. what a blanket statement.

agreed on that point. I believe that statement definitely missed the mark, imo.

> It's like you didn't even read my post, just looked for the hook to drop in and proclaim your superiority.

Seemed to me it was just a counter-point to your post. If you don't have anything productive to add, that's fine, but resorting to personal attacks doesn't really make your argument/viewpoint look better.

From my own personal experience, I'd mirror what the previous poster said. Most of the top performers in a remote setting (at least with software engineering) are usually also a top performer in an office setting. Does that mean there are not outliers? No.

New comment by l30n4da5 in "Tailscale SSH"

l30n4da5 — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 18:15:18 +0000

my first thought is that this seems less secure than using a private ssh key and locking your machine down to only that ssh key.

you're essentially using google as your machine login, which seems like weaker security, imo.

edit: I'll caveat this and say, I think Tailscale is fantastic! I've been using it personally on my machines for a few months now, and it is awesome.

being overly dogmatic when it comes to writing code is not a good thing, imo.
