I think this is why I often push help offers away in other things. If someone wants to help, they may be more experienced and willing to teach. That'd be great. If I was doing an electronics project and an EE found the idea interesting and wanted to help me get it done, fantastic. I'm not trained in that.

However, for many things either I have an idiosyncratic way of doing things or the offer comes from someone who needs me to teach them a lot to meaningfully help. My business bookkeeping is one of those things. Teaching people to do it is stressful and painful, and then I have to worry about the mistakes they make, as opposed to the ones I make.

This author adds a third case, where your project inspires them but they want to take some ownership of the design. Either they don't understand your idiosyncratic approach or they are more comfortable with their own patterns. However, it will be clear that there will be a lot of friction and that's bad for friendships.

I think there's an implicit fourth case, where the offer is coming from a person who doesn't really know how to help but wants to get involved in something they think is cool. These are the people who mix up their terminology in their rants on your forum about how your working software could be much better done.

Finally, there's the people you enjoy teaching, where it's rewarding to include them in your journey. Maybe it's good to consider that possibility from time to time.

This 'controlled burn' issue is a general principle in risk management as well, where you respond to minor issues so as to not let them pile up into a tinderbox inferno.

Risk aversion isn't prudent, ethical, or professional either. It's a source of false conflict whose purpose is to centralize the objector so that they can direct and manage a proposed change. This is from someone who has been working in security for longer than most. It's something I find repulsive about some of the people who have joined the field, where once it was hackers who used elevated competence to judiciously take risks, and now it's authoritarian personalities who use affected fear and appeals to uncertainty under the guise of safety to position themselves as gatekeepers.

The same is true for government policy on controlled burns. Nobody ever gets fired over mega wildfires, even though their gatekeeping is the direct cause of them.

Where are the docker/redis/next.js/linux kernel/qt/roller-coaster tycoon creators?

Something I learned relatively late in my career was that really impressive work is the result of iterations in tiny steps. When you see something that makes you go "WOW! I could never do that!" you're seeing the final result of a long journey, and you probably could have taken each small step with a bit of effort.

There's no need for a special title for people who make amazing things. They're not that different to the rest of us. The main thing they have going for them is an environment that lets them shine - time to research and explore, less pressure to do things that aren't moving them towards the end result we see, and fewer externalities that make them lose focus.

I'm not suggesting just anyone could make Linux or Roller Coaster Tycoon, but I am definitely of the opinion that given then right circumstances most people could produce something that other people believe is at that sort of level of complexity.

May we all find those jobs one day.
You could also just draw a line further up the list. 100K passengers/year is under 300/day so you may be looking at a handful of regional jet flights that are mostly (or only) to the nearest significant airport.

Just eyeballing the list, what I'd consider a "significant" airport probably has a cutoff closer to a million passengers per year.

I can't help but think that the author of the book as an artist, who I assume is not in a 9-5 job and whose work necessarily requires unusual uses of their time, can't possibly relate to normal folks here.

Every day I need to: 1. work out. 2. work at least 9-5. 3. cook dinner. 4. spend time with my wife.

Then, things come up. Shopping, chores, etc.

Already I don't have time to waste, and I don't even have kids or a second job. So yeah, I block out my day: Wake up at 6, breakfast and out the door by 6:45, commute and work out and shower and get to my desk by 8:30, etc etc. If I didn't purposely block out time like this I'd wake up at 10am, have to work late, cook late, spend less time with family, not keep up with my health, etc, etc.
This definitely resonates with me as I've graduated into the state you describe and yes "the only way out is through" is exactly the way to describe the path.

Not sure I agree fully with the "time spent in the water" not seeming bad - I think I simply recognize it for what it was, while acknowledging the trauma and cascading effects that I'm unwinding 30+ years after the fact.

Perhaps you mean that you are no longer attached to the trauma and can view it "objectively"

More important to me now is unwinding the physical manifestations of trauma/anxiety that I never recognized as well as eliminating the behaviors (people pleasing, self deprecation etc...) that attract toxic attachment.

> Wouldn't that be priced into the relocation package you negotiate? It is a problem but no different than buying a home in a flood plain, if it's something you have to do.

I can't imagine a relocation package pricing in foregone tax benefits.

But even if it did, that's a one-time payment in exchange for giving up a benefit that exists in perpetuity. There are ways in accounting to discount the benefit of indefinite/perpetual annuities and compare them against current cash value, and in practice they almost always undervalue the former, often by limiting the future time window.

I have full sympathy for people dealing with depression but I don't think this logic holds. People who are depressed have suicidal ideations, suffer in quality of life and generally struggle to accomplish otherwise simple tasks.

It is "wrong" in the sense that it has all of these objectively negative consequences whereas being blissfully happy does not, so it can be claimed to be "right" in relative terms.

I think you are attributing to the word "right" a sense of an obligation to feel happy, with "wrong" therefore being a deviation from that True Path, but I don't think that is the intended meaning when people use those words to describe depression.

I would argue that "right" in this context means something closer to "nominal", as in "working as intended". Nobody is faulting you (or me or others) for constantly feeling down.

I hope that helps.
> Once the federal gov starts tampering with private contracts

Who do you think ultimately enforces "private contracts"?
I think that depends on what they did with the cash. If they invested it in the S&P 500, that was generally a very good trade. If they turned it into new cars and expensive vacations, well, that was hopefully something that they really enjoyed, because those are things that are even more expensive when financed.

Many dating websites don't have a single real woman. They simply exist to lure desperate men to keep swiping and chatting to these human-bots until they realise they have been duped all along, or even never. In fact, this is openly said on affiliate conferences if you visit them, they discuss whole strategies on how to keep people swiping. Same about every other online industry, sometimes worse (literate scams as in "stealing other people money"). All except porn, that is. Porn (and webcams) are real things. This is why i highly prefer working for porn companies, at least i know it's an honest, real business with nothing to hide.

On the good side of things, most dating sites/apps won't be able to exist without these full time catfishers. Just because cost of traffic won't be paid back by their revenue. And still, there's some trickle of real women on some of them - most women i know have dating profiles so i know there are - so some people actually meet there.

> Today, both the audience and the objectives have changed. The overwhelming majority of the audience is now computer-literate and can be counted on to figure out how to use the basic features regardless of how poorly designed or inefficient they may be.

Not sure if I agree, and anyway this doesn't seem to be the assumption of mainstream modern UI design. Rather we have extreme simplification justified by the need not to overwhelm the users and isolate them from (arbitrarily) "less needed" features and technical considerations. I don't know if UI departments base this on research and studies, but anecdotally both for me and non-technical people I know smartphones have become black boxes due to this. We often discover features by accident, not sure how we even triggered them. Many simple tasks have to be googled, because there seems to be little logic in where they're hidden. Maybe very young people are better at this - though on the other hand we hear about them being less PC platform-literate - and this knowledge still feels like a random collection of incantations rather than a system you could master.

Maybe I wouldn't hold up Windows registry, Office 2000 etc. as paragons of mental tractability, but I would posit that 1. the filing cabinet mental model was useful in learning generalizable, organized knowledge of using computers, 2. it has been destroyed by tech corporations for the mass audience. I don't believe that we are fundamentally dumber compared to 1990s, we could figure this out if given a chance.
An important aspect of innovation in financial services is improved risk management.

A mildly cynical person might start giggling uncontrollably at the idea that the financial sector is propagating good risk management technology, yet the picture is quite nuanced: Our world would be a more brutal place without insurance contracts and pension schemes. So there is a grain of truth. There are genuine if unfinished financial innovations and they are important. The trouble is that, by-and-large, recent decades have seen nothing of lasting utility coming from the financial sector. In fact the whole thing seems to be unwinding.

Take for example the suddenly hot topic of interest rate risk which is blowing up regional US banks left and right. This was supposed to be a solved risk management problem. Interest rate derivatives have been developed after the Savings and Loan crisis and investment banks have made gazillions of revenue peddling "interest risk management" tools.

Much has been said about the role of regional bank managers, the role of social media the role of watering down regulation etc. What I have not seen much discussed is the role of those risk management intermediaries. MIA?

I at some point a smart cookie will follow the money and publish a lurid account of how the "solved problem" went all pear shape.
>there's an obvious conflict of interest (the IRS has no reason to help find deductions and/or assist me in minimizing my tax bill)

The IRS doesn't receive a cut of the taxes they collect, so I don't see the conflict. They've been known to contact people who overpayed so they could send a check.

If the IRS system is found to be negligently ignoring valid deductions, that'll cause a hullabaloo picked up on by politicians. Things should change.

If Turbo Tax is found to ignore valid deductions, they'll lose a small portion of users who follow the news and know about equally-priced alternatives. Chances are, they'll keep on trucking just fine.

Practically, for your average well-to-do white collar worker, the additional $20k in interest payments might equate to 10% of gross income. The pain of the additional expense is certainly non-zero, but it isn't necessarily prohibitive. Especially if that $20k is going into savings or investments anyways, it's not coming at the cost of foregoing some other current consumption. Many people could afford it, but have some hesitation.

The declining transaction volume is more likely due to forward-looking expectations on prices. People can afford it, they're simply opting out of eating the additional costs.

>I know very little about UK property issues

Don't let that stop you!

>but would speculate that any housing shortages are caused by regulations.

Which regulations? The UK rental market is almost entirely unregulated. It is less regulated than the rental market in many US states/cities, for example. Landlords can charge whatever rent they like, evict people for no reason, and put up rents without limit when renewing rental contracts.

If any regulations are to blame here, they're likely to be the regulations that prevent building new houses in green belt areas, not regulations on rentals.

>Any increase in expenses will need to be generated through the rent of the property.

You say this as if it's obviously inevitable, but of course one possibility is that landlords will simply make a bit less money on rentals than previously. This is why regulations do have something to do with it: if there are limits on how much landlords can raise rents, then they can't simply defray any increased expenses via arbitrary rent increases. At present, however, there are no such limits.
We are in that boat now, Wife has an offer to move to San Diego area.

We are very close to saying F - it with her rescinding her offer, this economy and housing market is beyond bad.
