  • If you don’t understand someone’s code, be brave and leave a comment saying you don’t understand. If you can’t understand it, the next person who has to maintain it won’t either. It’s a strong indication that refactoring should be done.

    Also if something breaks, just remember that you can roll back.

    Good luck!



  • I think most people think about it more if the second way you described (as kind of a small retirement hobby, not to earn much money).

    Tech workers spend all of their time working on abstract problems that have no end and spend all their energy to produce something intangible that must indefinitely be maintained.

    They see farming as the exact opposite of this: something they can work on with their hands in the dirt, that eventually bears fruit that you can hold in the palm of your hand, and even eat yourself and personally benefit from.

    This is much more an urge to return to nature and the feeling of actual accomplishment rather than an actual business plan. It doesn’t really matter how it goes financially because they already have enough money to retire.

















  • Well if the crops are going bad, you don’t need to hire the truckers to move the produce, you don’t need to hire the grocers to sell the produce, and you don’t need to hire the chefs to cook the produce.

    The article doesn’t address this though, rather:

    Job openings decreased in health care and social assistance by 181,000, in arts and entertainment by 62,000, and in mining and logging by 13,000.

    Which doesn’t say that it’s directly related. Health care and entertainment jobs reducing is probably more indicative of Americans spending less on discretionary spending either because of economic hardship or the expectation of economic hardship.

    Mining and logging losses could be tariff related, or possibly in response to softening demand for primary inputs.
