    I swear I saw a version of this years ago on one of the popular tech blags like Coding Horror or Joel On Software. I briefly looked for it the other day and couldn't find it. Anyone happen to remember it? I think it was mainly about salaries and when stock options would vest.

      If you live in New York, life will get complex without building supplementary passive income from a young age.

      If people live a slow-burn lifestyle, buy revenue property one can later demolish as needed, park unused cash in index funds, and split 7% between bullion & high-risk. Most folks will be fine when things eventually go sideways.

      Some people like to gamble, but they usually don't talk about their mistakes. =3

        I just saw a cnn headline in the lobby about people who are looking to sell their family home to buy ai stock

        They sure talk about mistakes before they happen

          How nice of them. I'll have cheap tokens for a little longer.

            Inference is pretty cheap, and easy to deploy while open models exist.
