The recruiters I work with know that I don't entertain non-remote work at any salary.

Do the same. Join the revolution. Succeed.

I'm the right person for this.

and you obviously work founder hours for employee compensation.

deep neural networks have no trouble producing random but coherent content, either.

the first round of layoffs so often cripples a company because they make cuts on the wrong end of the performance spectrum.

people who "talk to themselves" are labelled idiots. mental dialogue is supposed to be mental.

call it social conditioning if you will. spelling out your thoughts for someone else to hear them just so they can take note of them for evaluation is the polar opposite of normal human interaction.

hire specialized contractors to do the things you need done.

ive never been asked stupid fizzbuzz but have so far not been able to sufficiently fail at a job. weird.

reading only gets you so far.

if you want to retain read knowledge, take notes. what you write down is what you will remember.

As a contractor, I am able to sell as little hours as I want. Working from a thailand beach. Or Tokyo. Or Las Vegas, where I currently reside.

I can operate this as a business. Meaning that I can immediately reinvest the money into a side venture without taking the employment tax hit.

I can set my own hours, work other projects, don't answer to a boss and don't dance with HR.

I make 4x the cash I could make working a real job. I don't get fucked over on overtime.

Does moonlightwork beat working a very senior position at google headquarters? Probably not. But not everyone has the means or ambition or willingness to do the SF grind.

Doing contract work is a very easy path to becoming a millionaire if you're good. You can easily take home 250k+ here. Live whereever you want. Its a very easy life.

I've never been inside an office and I will never be. Never going to be stuck in traffic. Or with people I don't like. Always around my loved ones.

As far as those platforms are concerned, Moonlight Work is easily the best. All the power to Emma and Phillip. I don't know their numbers, but they will make it big. Sky is the limit, guys.

I'd immediately come work for them if they offered me a job.

These guys only charge 15% on top of what you make. That's a joke. They could easily justify 35%. Moonlight Work is the shit. Screw the haters.

after signing up, i'm asked to enter my flight details, which goes reasonably well until you ask for the record locator number, which is required. I have no clue what a record locator number is or where to find it, so that's as far as I got into the booking process. I literally can't continue right now, and at this point, the potentially helpful intercom is gone.

the price for Vegas would have been §305, which sounds incredibly expensive. I don't really get why the pricing is different for different airports, other than the fact that you want to fleece people for as much as possible. At least feels that way.

In order to fully take advantage of your service, I'd need to book it for both airports. That puts the price in the $500 range, which effectively doubles the price of the ticket for economy class flights. For business class flights, we are still talking about roughly 25% of the ticket, or 125% total.

Thats incredibly expensive and I dont really get the value proposition. If I travel for fun, I go through customs which takes an hour at the worst and then I walk out the hall, press a button on my app and an uber picks me up. I dont see how you can possibly speed that up. Even if you could cut out the whole customs process entirely, which I doubt is possible (picking up the luggage is the time intensive part), it would not be worth it.

If I travel for business, whatever I do at the airport amounts to a billable hour so I dont REALLY care either.

For reference, I make $20-$30k a month all things considered. I feel its expensive. Based on the value offered, I wouldnt book it. Maybe I lack a really annoying flight experience.

Now, you could argue that I'm not your target customer, which is fair. I get that there are people who make more money. But. My girlfriend happens to be wealthy. She takes advantage of services like yours. But she would never visit some random website to book that off of. When she travels, she gets picked up at home and then a whole bunch of things happen that go beyond what you offer and its being taken care of by her credit card company. At the airport, she's handed off to the priority check-in line of her favourite expensive airline and then its off to the business lounge where some concierge takes care of anything that could potentially bother her.

I'm sure that this may be more expensive than your service, but she doesnt care. Its just a line item on the credit card bill that shes not even going to look at. If you want to compete with that, go super high-end and somehow make it really easy to book. btw, she wouldn't know her locator number thingie, either.

If you want to just do the thing you do, I believe it needs to be cheaper. Or at least make the pricing consistent so that I dont feel like I'm getting fucked for flying into vegas.

the very first fusion reactors arent all that efficient, either.

all major currencies fluctuate, too. the reason you dont see it is because all other prices are quoted in terms of those currencies.

when the price of gold goes up, for example, it may not be gold going up. its possible that the currency is just losing value.

you've just accepted that the price of USD is what you agree on. in a "bitcoin is the currency" world, bitcoins value does not fluctuate at all. everything else does.

computing power is inherently valuable. the value of AWS is less than zero because you could just buy a computer and do the computation cheaper at home. duh.

does not compute. has nothing to do with the money.
