There are plenty of companies without liquidity where I’d be happy to accept options as compensation… Except with strike prices as high as they are, exercising them becomes painful. My current job would require over…

Or even just good entry level jobs for someone to do analysis in a domain area. I feel like there must be companies who will just take you if you can do basic research but I wouldn't know where to start.

My new software philosophy: One language No config No build Everything is a Module Modules want to be 150 lines Imperative is best And... - Wrap text at 42 character width - 1:1 ratio of expressions to lines ONNEMI-4211

Do as much as possible in one language Do it inside a module with a clearly described interface No modules bigger than 150 lines or so. They should read like a chapter in a book Prune data structures as much as possible…

I've been thinking about event sourcing while also trying to whittle down the number of languages in play in my stack. It occurred to me that if you're doing event sourcing, you could just persist actual source code…
