if you want affordable housing we need to de-commodify it and get the investors out. no more airbnb, no more one investor group owning 10s of thousands of single family homes. Dumping regular people's money into this system, even if we give them a bunch extra, is only gonna drive prices even further up. The necessities of living are not speculation opportunities for the ultra rich.

any time I ask fleetwood mac fans what makes them special, it's always that they were really awful to one another, and the person telling me about it always gets really excited like I should be impressed that they were really awful to one another.

not my experience at all across 3 separate companies. Ime senior engineers are the highest level that still spends most of the day heads down most days, and that's why I'm gonna stick it out at this level as long as I can.

your company has money for no one above mid-level engineers to be actually building the product?

rules aren't there to be enforced, they're there so that when you break them you take a second to think about why.

I'd go back into restaurants in a heartbeat if it paid the bills, then I'd come home and build software on my own time.

The polyamory will continue until we can form a ska band.

This doesn't reflect my housemate's experience in Italy at all. Evidently if they detect an American accent in your "buongiorno" they'll just spend the rest of the day mocking you in Italian and occasionally just yelling "DONALD TRUMP HAMBURGER TRANSGENDER" at you.

"We'll just make it illegal to be poor" is such an American take.

you think that I'm in favor of everything I'm not currently talking about?
