> hitting tier 3 pricing and landing $350+ electric bills

I just wanna chime in and add: PG&E got rid of the third tier (unsure when) and, in the Bay Area, we're looking at around $0.35-$0.40/kWh at the upper end of the rate schedule (plus an explosion in natural gas prices on the West Coast). $350+ electric bills are pretty much now the norm for anyone who wants to heat their house up much past 60°F.

Front brakes take the brunt of the stopping force. Rear brakes might be fine to downgrade if front brakes + warm battery pack regen are equivalent stopping force (brake bias). Rear brakes are more for stability.

I'd say most of the reason is advertising. There's a lot of people making a lot of money due to everybody travelling around and buying stuff.
Banana republics are exploitative in literally every definition of exploitation, because there was literal military violence involved. And even nowadays, Marxist analysis is far from the only framework in which workers in the global south are exploited. In fact almost any theory of exploitation except for the most radical libertarian/neoliberal would see an element of exploitation.

It turns out that since 1980 there has been economic growth, making the production and shipping of various commodities more affordable.

If banana republics weren't necessary to keep bananas affordable and profitable they would never have existed in the first place.

In America a 1000 square foot house is small, it's just a fact. I personally wouldn't have a problem with it, and I live in 1300 square feet. But American family home buyers expect 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den, etc. and that just isn't possible in 1000 square feet.

Building form scratch with an architect in America is also very, very expensive. I know folks that have gone down that route and it easily doubled the final cost of their home. What could have been a 250k property cost over 500k when all was said and done. It's just not common to see done unless you are wealthy.

All I can say is Inverted Triangle CSS (ITCSS) [1] solves the issues you're talking about. It's so obvious once you get it—it's one of those "why didn't I think of this" kind of thing. You write your code in specificity order. It sounds odd at first but it makes total sense and eliminates so many of the "issues" people complain about. It makes the cascade your friend and not your foe.

Because Amazon is an online store that makes money when things are being sold through it. Including fake things.

And since Amazon has no real competition and lawmakers are asleep at the wheel (if not outright bought), there is zero incentive for Amazon to do anything about this.

Yes, I too have found it to be completely unreliable when it comes to specifics. However, I've been finding it really helpful in a few areas:

- taking point form, or messy notes, and converting it to full sentences/paragraphs. Useful for things like writing blurbs, longer emails, proposals. Naturally, it does veer towards cliche, so you kind of have to massage it back after.

- getting a bash script started in the right direction. I'm always fuzzy on bash syntax because I don't use it all the time. ChatGPT will usually screw up some details, but those can be fixed

The majority of listings are cheap rebranded junk from brands with random six letter all caps names. Or in this case, cheap fake junk.

Amazon doesn't care.

They don't care about the flood of fake reviews
They don't care that sellers get a pile of 5-star reviews, then re-use the same listing to sell something completely different

They also don't seem to care what the words "free", "two-day", and "guaranteed" mean either, because I am constantly given the option of "FREE two-day shipping" that 1) I am paying for and 2) has a delivery date 9 days in the future. The "guaranteed delivery date" changes between when I order and when the thing ships _every time_ and I complain to support chat and get $5 off my order _every time_

It's garbage all the way down.
I’m annoyed that this could be sorted by a simple ordering of positive reviews, yet these scams still pop up all the time

I imagine that every social gathering also doubles as a showing-off.
It would if the government printed money to pay women that were doing aforementioned unpaid work. Or paid in social security credits. It is not an unmeasurable thing, just ignored. And these skills and work do matter, it is just subsidized by money from other employment and often not very efficiently, even less fair.
My issue with this is that I have never, and I mean never, met a good software architect that wasn't also extremely good at the nuts-and-bolts of coding. I mean, I've interviewed people who called themselves software "architects" who could barely code a for loop, and these people are generally pretty useless beyond churning out PowerPoint diagrams.

I feel like this idea that you can have a software architect that just corrales a bunch of lowly code monkeys is a model that was invented by some MBA, or IBM (sorry to dig at IBM, there are some brilliant folks there but also some folks that for the life of me I can't figure out what they could be doing day-to-day). Will something like ChatGPT make this a viable model? Potentially, but I doubt it. If anything, I think it would be more difficult for a junior-level programmer to point out the subtle bugs that ChatGPT produces.

Like most software innovations in the past, I think that code generative AI will essentially lead to a Jensen's paradox for software - it will allow existing skilled programmers to just write more code, thus lowering the overall cost of code, leading to more demand.

I once developed a video game plugin for a niche flight simulator, that was subsequently bought by a few thousand people.

Their response left me flabbergasted: They thanked me! Personally, by email. They actually took out time of their own busy life to write a simple thank you note.

Never in my professional life have I experienced a response anything like this. Not as a researcher, being harassed and scolded by reviewers. Not as an embedded dev, by users or contractors being blissfully unaware of my existence. Not as an open source dev, hidden behind a pseudonym and fake "professionalism" in Github bug reports. The closest thing was perhaps professional recognition amongst colleagues.

I'd rather make a big personal impact on a small number of people than a small incremental impact on a large number of people. It's way more satisfying. Come to think of it, teaching and mentoring work similarly.
No. You kind of have to know what to look for and still spend lots of time with the selected general contractor. My current gold standard of a good general contractor is Hammer & Hand out in the US Pacific Northwest [1]. Their attention to detail is more than what you see in the industry.

The near meaningless vision seems to be to see what sticks without using types in the lexer & parser https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/7t-Q2vt60J8/m/0h-2.... Take array declaration being prefixed to the type name to prevent ambiguity with int []a, b; vs int a[], b; & then Ian & the rest doubling the work back & reusing postfix [] for generics resulted in making inferable type identifiers turn into required infix operators & that reversed the position of array declaration that <go>es against the intuitive idea that what is independent comes first & to construct an array/pointer has a dependence on its elemental type that is a common pattern to programming languages with arrays. Along with the arbitrary predeclared identifier constraint requirement, using/burning one of the limited matching pairs was a complete waste as generics do not involve changing precedence - there is only a "(of) type (T)" operator - to accommodate nesting - D's "!" operator parses fine L to R w/o look ahead. The implementation taking years from some who have been programming for decades & resulting in a complete mess up is a grand ole time(r) fiasco.
> it seems like demand for software engineers far outstrips supply

Definitely not the case when layoff right now is in full force. Also this doesn't necessarily indicate high salary anyway. There is a huge demand for fruit picker, but due to the nature of economy and margin of business, the salary will stay deflated thus the shortage persists. In a high interests, no free money environment, will software firms still able to demonstrate ability to generate return for investors? That would the ultimate key for whether the high salary is going to sustain or disappear.

Regardless, I think this article has a point. We might be as well observing the end of the golden era for software engineers. LLM is a long-term salary oppressor, but in short term, simple dynamics of economy would test the market sufficiently.

I'm sure they do. But the junk comes from many places, and the responsibility is on the companies here. I just think calling it Chinese Junk is hiding the blame.

Look at my fridgidaire fridge and dishwasher - both recently broke at the same time after a few years. Both top of the line consumer models. They're still made in the US, but they're disposable junk sold at the homeless despot.

The fridge is $2k, but has the same cheap components from $400 fridges. Cost cutting is everywhere. Hold the right people accountable, IMO.

Back in 1989 I, by chance, took a Russian univeristy professor that was visiting Portugal to the largest supermarket in Lisbon. As far as I rememmber, we had to buy some food to take home and cook her a meal and the supermarket was in the way.

As we waited in line to pay she asked us if she could go for another walk by herself. She said that the supermarket was like a cathedral to her. That was when it dawned on me, having been in the USSR before, the shock she was going through.

>Communism, or any other system, can’t make that same claim.

I don't really think communism is a viable economic system, because of, you know, people. However, a couple of points should be made:

- Communism has always had to deal with enmity of world's richest and most influential nations (USA and UK in particular). Possibly because communism has had this inbuilt idea that it needs to spread to everywhere, whether they like it or not (kind of like some religions). Could this have been otherwise? I don't know.

- Between 1922 and 1962, USSR's economy grew at an average of about 9% real per annum, despite having to deal with the massive trauma of World War 2. Also, income inequality decreased. Population went from ~140 million in poverty to ~240 million living, um, not in poverty.

So... it is not quite as simple as you make it out to be.

>I’m making the most I’ve ever made and I’ve never been less happy and more depressed.

Maybe this is something related to older generations, but I for one have never been happier. Of course my life isn't perfect, but I would never in a million years go back to my childhood/teens/yearly 20s. I have so much more freedom to express my self, to move in the world, to see and experience things and just in general do whatever I want. I never had the capital necessary or capability to do any of these things when I was a kid.

>I despise being a cog in a huge corporate machine, it’s like the job was designed to be as unappealing as possible.

Of course I can't speak for anyone else, but I think this is part of the "dream job" myth i.e. "if you work a job you love you don't need to work a day in your lift". This is pretty much garbage advice and only works for few rare people. I accidentally fell into my niche. I don't think I would have ever applied for position such as mine, but as new graduate I got an offer that was too good to pass by (however I expected to work here for couple years, gain some money, and then move to a bigger city and find job in my actual field), but when I started I just decided that I was going to be the best in my team/department. I took couple hours every day from work time to study and I became a professional. I wouldn't say I love my job, but I'm good at it and that makes my proud which in turn gives me joy. I've been doing pretty much same thing for almost a decade now and I've never been happier.
This is particularly annoying because the "Report incorrect product information" link doesn't work properly, and due to "suspicious activity", only verified customers can submit a review. So you can't tell Amazon about it, and you can't let other prospective customers know about it.
"If It’s Too Good to Be True, Don’t Buy It and Check the Reviews"

Ah, good luck with that! I once left a 1 star review for a fake product and Amazon didn't publish it because they said it didn't respect their policy.
I believe the poster is in the United States. So it’s small and unusual, which makes the project harder.

The only chance this would work is if your platform is free to use. An example of this would be craigslist.
