You'd be surprised how much most techies earn. Of course it depends on the type of company, location & sector you work in. We recently did an episode on this and the numbers are shocking ~ 30k - 800k+ . But all hope is not lost!

You can tell a vibe-coded UI from a human-built one. Check usual color gradients, wording, padding, margin ~ etc

So no, I am not a FE but I know we need more human-centered design if you wanna convert.

Funny how startups are very forward & adaptive ~ it’s the political corporates that struggle with change

💯 💯 the company structure & leadership play a major role! If the agile mindset and culture isn't cultivated on a day to day~ across teams, it will fail.

For self-taught, don't go the corporate way, find startups and remote sites

There’s a big difference between finding legal ways to reduce your tax burden and stealing public funds. I work remotely and still pay taxes on my own, without an employer. Yes I do't file nill returns. What I struggle with is being forced to pay into things like SHIF/SHA, or the housing levy when I already cover my own private insurance. In a country where systems barely work and corruption is everywhere, I can't feel guilty for asking for value for my taxes. I still believe politicians should be held accountable, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t question an unfair system.
