There are so many amazing gravestones there. It is a history nerd’s dream walk. But I did kind of appreciate the “modern” rocket grave on the other side. 😏

Ah, your Bluehost hosting is down so the site is down, thus I was wondering about the status. Okay, then I will just wait until James gets the site back up and browse then. Thank you for the reply!

Anyone have any good book recommendations on the history of Hawaii? Looking for something that is expansive and concise… like a Plato to NATO kinda thing, but within 400 pages.

My wife and 1yo daughter were back home visiting for a week right when the quake hit. I was in Vancouver working alone and going nuts. Will never forget that fear. https://twitter.com/chadkoh/status/46266786919878657

totally get your argument about the power of tech company salesmanship. It is called Solutionism and we see it in many aspects of society (marketing, education, health, urban design) why not football? #cultofinnovation

#blackpanther was a really solid film. Definitely in the upper end of MCU films for me. Some really great new characters. Happy now I can start reading the analysis! So many themes!

I think we are largely in agreement. My point is just not to forget the other labourers that have seen flat wages while tech incomes ballooned (granted that era may be over). More of an addendum than an argument. 😁

Yes, theoretical equity that never materialized.
Equity does make it much harder to figure out who is being exploited. How many of those young devs are being sucked into a Equity Hally Of Mirrors?

Obviously, you have to be part of a firm that has a mix of people (not just a small team of engineers) to see the difference. It also depends on size of firm. Locally I have seen the exact same person be paid $120K then $60K when jumping to a smaller firm.

Replying to @infil00p and @camcavers
Other people in the office like PMs, journalists or writers, and even middle managers. I do not compare them to lawyers or doctors, and I am mostly thinking of people in the early stages of their career, say less than 5 years.

Replying to @infil00p and @camcavers
Yeah when compared to other markets. But if you compare them to other white collar workers in Canada they ARE highly paid.

This is why I don’t drive a car, don’t use Siri, don’t use Facebook, and on and on.
I think a similar argument can be made for “efficiency.” @evgenymorozov in one of his books writes about the usefulness of inefficiency. 🤔 https://twitter.com/superwuster/status/964484003616231425
