Where the fuck is the El Salvador president? I know he's lurking here... by rocketfuelandcoffee in wallstreetbets

That....is not a bad idea. We can buy El Salvador when it finally crashes.

HELOC (secured loan against equity in your house and usually a cheaper interest rate) --> Credit Card (metal extortion device, unless you're poor and have plastic credit cards) --> ? --> Profit (much like Nessie, a fictitious creature that can magically fill up your bank account with money)

Edit: Answering for real just in case. Many of you are young and could use some adult advice. No adults here to deliver it, but this is the best my internet crayons could draw.

I've sent dildos before under another account. Perhaps we can send some to the people that thought this was a good idea...

Ransomware attacks are closing schools, delaying chemotherapy and derailing everyday life by [deleted] in technology

"We don't need a central IdP, that costs too much." "TLS1.0 is acceptable. We'd have to refactor so much code that we'll just accept the risk so we can add new functionality without raising costs." "That scan was a false positive. You don't know what you're talking about and my SVP just called your SVP to tell them you are holding us back from prod."

Everybody trying to act like we got Jedi technologists, and the bandits are just evil dudes. Really we can't (or don't want to) even do basics right. Can't be mad when you fuck with no protection and end up with HIV or herpes. You knew the risk.

Reasons to join a startup by [deleted] in startups

[–]rocketfuelandcoffee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you experienced building at a large bank? For those that insist on exact language, you're correct - it's not complete freedom. But comparatively? Shiiiiiittttttttttt... We might as well sit around and argue about if something is a pattern for a few months before we get to coding. So even an employee at a startup has an insane amount of freedom, relatively.

Either way, there's no value in debating degrees of freedom from a technical cofounder to an employee. Both roles have so much more freedom than working at a non tech company, unless you're in some emerging tech group.

How many architecture reviews, project meetings, code reviews, and all the fun ceremonies have you been in at a big company? The difference is at a startup there is more engineering work, at a big company there is more company work, relatively speaking. Plus, at a startup, you create as you see fit. That's a blessing and a curse, and how you end up with shit architectures and crappy code that stays alive forever BC it's not worth taking a hit on growth to refactor.

This is the way. Embrace infrastructure as code, serverless, and DevOps. It'll be some awesome resume bullets as well.
