No, “most opportunities” only if you want to work the startup grind. If you don’t, there are tech jobs in other cities that are boring stable 9-5 jobs if you don’t need Big Tech level salary.
In the JavaScript world, very frequently. If latest is 2.8 and I’m coding against 2.1, I don’t want answers using 1.6. This happened enough that I now always specify versions in my prompt.
No, plenty of articles have been written about “illiterate Ivy League students” lately so it’s not just a problem at non-elite schools. These articles have been popping up a lot lately.
Personally, I disagree with the entire premise because it equates literacy with enjoying classic literature. I don’t. So by this metric, I’m also illiterate. I don’t enjoy flowery prose full of allusions and analogy. I prefer science textbooks over Shakespeare.
He's paying a talented guy to do something and then claims it as his own, that's definitely work! (Well, at least that's pretty close to his actual work as a company owner).
His real full time job is watching alt-right videos and memes on YouTube and 4chan.
It seems as though you are trying to say that he isn’t a workaholic because he’s not very dedicated to playing games, but that surely doesn’t make sense.
I kind of don't imagine a workaholic having online gaming scandal about paying someone to run a game for them and then doubling down on that, but well, I was already told before I lack imagination.
It isn't hard to imagine someone spending 16 hours of working and then going home and playing a game and putting in money to make themselves more powerful in the game.
There have been so many high profile AAA flops lately. They can’t afford to release something bad. I think it’s crazy that everyone just assumes GTA6 will be a good game (aka, GOTY)
Delaying for a year is either fixing major bugs, or they’re scrambling to overhaul something.
Maybe it was too "woke" and with the changing political winds that was considered too risky. So now they have to remove all the rainbows and meaningful female characters
That is just for the base model. There is an option for an electric window opener.
It is also not a finished product yet so wait and see what actually becomes of this. The modularity is nice along with the promise of easy to install upgrades and so forth.
Delivering on all those customizable options though may be easier said than done.
It could be if that yields more profit in the end.
For example,
It costs the company 10 dollars, and that 100 out of 110 people will purchase the upgrade for $20. That is $100 profit. Maybe the company also finds that 80 of those 110 people would also buy the same upgrade for $150 and yields like $11,200 in profit.
So it makes sense for the company, the persons running it, and the investors in the company to have the markup as high as it will maximize their profits.
> lack of profit when I said "anywhere near".
Sorry, to me I interpret markup to be assumed as double the cost but would not consider that "near" cost.
Well "anywhere near" is a wider range than "near". I think.
And absolute profit matters too. For a cheap enough part, a higher percentage is okay.

Yeah, and screw them.
Nickle and diming is bad and anyone doing it should feel bad.
