This opinion is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of tech journalism screaming “AI software engineer” after each new model release.

There are always different parts of the stack to work in. I started in the backend database land. Then, moved to general application dev with a side of web. Now, I do embedded. Never stop learning ;]
Here’s a picture of me when I was older.
And the flip side of that; paying a craftsman to do the job is 1000% better for everyone involved!
Better for the craftsman. I’m helping someone else stay employed.
Better for my house/car. Let’s be honest, I learn by trial and error.
Better for me. Outside of more basic maintenance, I don’t want to buy all those specialty tools… like that thing you use to pull a shower handle cartridge out.
It’s better for the economy. Putting money in the craftsman’s pocket contributes to the general churn of the economy, and he is more inclined to buy local where I am more likely to end up at a franchise. It’s a little thing I call Trickle Up Economics™.
Ha, my boss gives me this one. “But I’m different,” he says when I tell him about side project stuff like working on my house. I try to tell him… everyone my age I know is like that. They fix their own car/house/electronics and also do some kind of side work. You know how much a contractor costs? Between friends and family, I could be a contractor tomorrow, but not because I want to be. It’s out of necessity. I would love to pay someone else to install floors or do plumbing.
But yeah… all the evidence in front of his face doesn’t hold a candle to whatever Fox News tells him.
Didn’t expect so much hate for this game… In terms of simulations, in 2002, the original game was light years ahead of its time. They did a lot of things right that it took the more popular mil sims years to get correct. I’d go as far as to argue it is one of the most realistic squad-based tactical shooters of all time.
Always best to keep them guessing. Strategically, it’s gold.
Ha, yeah. I’ve been a registered Democrat since I was 18. No freaking way they tried at something so hard like that.
Official Act™
Reality leans left.
A related problem I see on YouTube is talking heads pruning their comments to create mini echo chambers. This is a real problem.
Are you curious how Russia’s supporters feel about this?
Another problem is their definition of outsider. A rich, corporate douchebag is not.
Wow. Clowns like this should not be in charge of anything.
Lol leave. That is so many levels of braindead.
This one in particular though
Don’t think this is the place for that comment.
Yeah. All he had to do was ask him who won the last election and watch him melt down. That was it. Instead he told us how he “defeated Medicare.” We’re screwed.
Of course the numbers are good.
My bullshit detector is going off for a different reason. This is an arbitrary short term vs long term comparison. The money that went to Israel wasn’t going to HUD either way. As someone correctly pointed out, $20B is a rounding error here.
